From the Spot of the Foul

FA Community Shield postscript

Oh, the carnage! Material was plentiful for future notes to be posted on the visitor’s dressing room bulletin board prior to the next meeting of Chelsea and Manchester United on Sunday November 8 at Stamford Bridge.

Can’t wait.

Be safe - always tape... but know what you're doing

Chelsea 2 Manchester United 2 (4-1 pen)
