People may say it's only community shield but i expect to see legit butthurt Chelsea fans tomorrow

The BBC clearly see it as a trophy.

It's not a trophy unless Mourinho wins it.

It's a competitive match in name only.

In reality it's an exhibition, obviously if we're in it I want to win, but I don't count it as an honour.

I agree, but Mourinho fans on this forum used it last year to glorify him and bash Wenger .

Thankfully they are suspended otherwise you could only imagine the outrage yesterday.

The way I see it, if you're in it then you want to win it. We all wanted to beat Chelsea yesterday lets face it.

It's not a trophy, no but it's a good game to win before your season starts and you get a shield to go with it. The Spanish, Germans and the French all take their respective pre season game seriously, so should we.

You only had to look at the faces of the Chelseas players to see how down they were about losing. It's never nice to lose at Wembley.

Or the Chelsea fans stampeding down the stairs as soon as they missed the second pen.
