Charity Shield to start the season . . . . <we don't need no stinkin' offseason>

To be in this game, you have to win the Premier League or an FA Cup, so ManU is always in this game and they sometimes win, but it's mostly on penalties. It's a match where no one wants injuries and no one wants cards. Judging from the sides that they put out last year in non-league and non-Champions' League fixtures, they don't seem to care much about the other trophies.

From Alex Ferguson himself - "Even the Community Shield does not come into the agenda in terms of a 'need to win' game. It's always been used at this club as the final part of our preparation.

"It is on August 8 and then the players have internationals during that week. We then have our first game the following Monday against Newcastle."

There's never been a trophy that Chelsea doesn't want

Probably shouldn't be betting the second division, but I've got an itch.

Saw Scunthorpe in FA Cup action last year and was inspired by their desire to attack against the Premier League teams and didn't play cautious at all. This is a team that I've played with for the FIFA 2010 video game and even with my mad gamer skills had difficulty scoring when Gary Hooper was injured and he's gone to Celtic and three other starters have moved on as well as they have the smallest budget in the Championship. I saw Reading play twice in the FA Cup and they are class, especially for this level.
