We only have two kinds of fans, those who support Chelsea or Arsenal, Jose Mourinho or Arsene Wenger, colour blue or red and the list is never ending but the roads are pretty parallel. The gunners will seek to take revenge against the blues, it is Community Shield 2015 friendly match but will it really be friendly? Falcao will play for the blues but adding the cherry on top, Gunners will have Cech.
Chamberlain Scores For Gunners

Before the match, at a press conference when Wenger was asked about the match, he said, “The expectations are very high and that is understandable because you cannot win the FA Cup and finish third in the league and then say ‘Look, next year we want to do nothing.”
After a Crucial miss by Ramires:

Adding to that, he said, “We have a good stability to our squad. So there are positive ingredients there. We have no injuries at the moment, touch wood, so there is no reason why we should be panicking at the moment.”
Chelsea will start as favourites and so to retain ‘Mourinho’s pride and the title honour, the squad will have to close in early. Falcao is one of the most admired players of Mourinho and he might get into the game in the second half.
“I’m very happy with his first week. I like him a lot as a player. The team plays very well with a striker of his quality. He’s not just a guy that can score a goal; he can also contribute a lot to the quality of the game,” Mourinho as Chelsea fans had tears of ‘Happiness’.
Chelsea has not made a lot of moves in the transfer market like Arsenal and is content with the current squad; losing Cech didn’t make a difference as he was hardly playing any match for Chelsea. Falcao on loan from AS Roma might add a Colombian flavour in the game.
