Community Shield Preview (Chelsea F.C. v. Manchester United F.C.)
Taking a non-partisan approach, I have decided to dissect the upcoming Community Shield clash.
GOALKEEPER:
Petr Cech is simply, one of the best keepers in world football. Van der Sar is a top-class keeper, but his recent surgery puts him out of the Community Shield clash. Ben Foster or Tomasz Kuszcak will be asked to fill the void, but none of them is as good as Edwin.
Advantage: Chelsea
DEFENCE:
The Centreback pairings of both clubs are one of the best in football. Chelsea with Terry and Carvalho, Manchester United with Ferdinand and Vidic. As far as the L & R backs go, Chelsea has the edge, with Ashley Cole and Bosingwa possessing the ability to make runs into the attack. Another aspect is how the defences will contain the opposition's attack. Chelsea's physicality in attack will cause more problems to Man U's backline than Man U's will cause to Chelsea. Man U's Speed off the flanks might make up for that.
BREAKING NEWS (Aug 7, 09) Vidic will be out with what is believed to be a Strained Calf.
Advantage: Chelsea
MIDFIELD:
Chelsea's central midfield might not be as technical as other top clubs, but they are one of the Most physical midfields in the Solar System. They have added a wing player in Yuri Zhirkov, which adds an essential facet to Chelsea's midfield. Manchester United has great technical ability in their midfield, with Antonio Valencia, Nani, Giggs, and the occasional Ji-Sung Park. This, in my opinion, is a stalemate, and whoever wins this battle might win the match.
Advatage: Push
ATTACK:
Hate to say this, But Manchester wins this battle. Berbatov and Rooney are a dangerous strikeforce. And with Ronaldo gone, Rooney is the focal point of their attack, and will be hungering to prove himself. Michael Owen had a lights-out preseason, and he is also set to prove that his injury-prone days are behind him. Chelsea have a great front two in Drogba and Anelka, with Sturridge backing up, but Man U have the advantage here.
Advantage: Manchester United
BENCH:
Chelsea has the edge in Substitutes. Proposed subs like Kalou, Sturridge, Deco, Ballack trump what Man U might have in Macheda, Welbeck, even Owen.
Advantage: Chelsea
MANAGER:
Both managers are proven at what they do, winning titles domestic and abroad, But Sir Alex Ferguson's record speaks for itself. He knows the English game better than anyone, and his treasure trove of titles prove that. Ancelotti is coming with a ton of pressure, but the great preseason has helped alleviate that. His first "game that counts" is one for silverware, and a loss will not help him whatsoever.
Advantage: Manchester United
FINAL PREDICTION: Man U 1-1 Chelsea (Goes to P.K.'s)

We CAN perform without 'Mr. Chelsea'
I am glad to say that John Terry is staying, which i'm sure many of you know. However I drafted this article and was on the verge of publishing when i heard John Terry has released the statement that he wants to stay and it has never been a question for him. I know what this article says won't be of any importance now, but please read it and comment with your thoughts and arguements. My view will not register well with you, but please consider it. Here it is:
Now I have read alot about this subject. I do love JT, and do think he is a rock for Chelsea and a leader for England, but honestly do you all think it will be doomsday if John Terry leaves Chelsea? People say one man does NOT make a team. Teams do have great Captains, that come and go, for example Patrick Vieira the Arsenal rock, whom was loved and was an inspiration for the gunners. Arsenal survived, they have transformed their squad with their Youth development and will soon be a force to be reckoned with. Manchester Utd had Roy Keane, a superb footballer who fell out with Sir Alex. How did Manchester Utd do after? Well they went on to win 3 premier league titles in 4 seasons, and a Carling Cup and Champions League Trophy, not that bad ey?
I find it truly unbelievable that Terry, a so called through and through chelsea boy, who came up through the Chelsea ranks from the age of 14, cannot release a statement abolishing these rumours, by confirming his desire to stay. This clearly shows he is considering Manchester City's offer. He is considering leaving Chelsea, and taking 200/300 grand a week. I hope all you Chelsea fans know that. He is considering the option of more money. I cannot see why he would ever think of joining Manchester City since he is seen at Chelsea as the symbol of the club, and will not get that image ANYWHERE else. He will only be the Captain at City not the Symbol. At Chelsea, he is bigger than the manager. When Jose was the manager, who was the symbol? Who had the charisma? Who had more love from the fans... not John Terry. After their dispute, it showed how Abramovich viewed John Terry as more valuable compared to Jose Mourinho, leading to Jose's very sad departure. I ask all of you to reply in the comments section, who do you love more John Terry or Jose Mourinho?
I know that Terry is viewed by many as Mr Chelsea, and the Symbol of Chelsea, but is that a good thing or a weakness of Chelsea? Look at other clubs Manchester United, Alex Ferguson is the symbol, not Rio Ferdinand nor Wayne Rooney. Arsenal, who is the symbol? Not Fabregas but Arsene Wenger. At Liverpool it is the same case at Chelsea with Gerrard. I heard on the radio a poll took place for Chelsea fans, in which 47% of them thought Chelsea should cash in the 40/50 million for Terry a 28 year old, with back problems and dips in form. I know that is not a majority, but its a high figure! Do you think Ancelotti won't have a plan if Terry leaves. That 40 million will be spent. On who? Who knows? Mexes from Roma? Ramos from Madrid? Nesta from Milan? All I can say is that this saga has not finished and will not until Terry comes out and says something.

John Terry Drama
With all the speculation flying around these days about JT's future, i find it incredibly disheartening to not hear any comments about this subject directly from him. It would appear as far as the upper management and board is concerned, that Terry will be staying. They all have declared he is staying and in NOT for sale.
All i am concerned about personally, is that we do not lose any of our stars, and especially this one. I believe that if Terry can stay and play out the remainder of his career in London at the Bridge, we will have housed one of the all time greats who have ever played the game. His leadership is completely unparalled in the game today. His loyalty has never, nor should it be questioned, regardless of the outcome of yet another messy summer of transfer rumors. I, along with the millions of other Blues faithful, will be sad to see him go if he so chooses, but I think we all believe in him and want to see him finish what he started and finish it where he started it!
Long Live King Terry (no matter what happens) and long live Stamford Bridge!
