Community Shield: Chelsea Take It
Talk tough all you want JT, we’re all just looking at your shorts. Image via Getty Images.
Chelsea got the footy started this weekend with a win over Manchester United in the Community Shield. The game tied at 2-2 and went to penalties, which Chelsea won 4-1.
We’re giddy with glee at the thought that we’ll soon be seeing regular footy again. It’s like sale-season, only better.
Speaking of which, we have a few things to share dear readers. To celebrate the start of the season, we’ll be starting up the Thursday Thigh Off again this week, revealing a new Finest Five and debuting our Elite XI squad. We are also barricading our flats with pointy things to defend against the inevitable pandemonium that will ensue. Watch for the reveals at the end of the week.
Finally, we’ll be switching the site over to a new management system as well – if you see anything on the site that looks odd or isn’t working like it should, please let us know.
Congrats to Chelsea and hurrah to the start of the season!
Blue is the colour! Thank you Kickette for the lovely JT pic. It was, indeed, a beautiful day to be a Blues fan. Thanks to all of the lovely Kickettes who stopped by the chat and Twitter (oh and below!) to offer their congratulations and support. The first half was a bit terrifying for me, but the second half showed Carlo can make the proper adjustments to lead the Blues to victory. This gives me hope for the season. After all of the disappointments and frustrations of last season, it was nice to see the Blues winning. To the ManUnited supporters, a good game and stunning form by Rooney (even if as Nicki points out, some of us believe he was offside). I can appreciate your frustration with the officiating as no bad call should change the result in a game. Take nothing away from the Blues though as this victory was certainly earned. Blue is the colour!
Well done to the Chelsea boys, The sheer fact on how successful they are even with the constant change of manager is amazing!
YAY chelseaa!
Penalties scare me!
Congrats, Chels! You all deserve it
Yay, new season, new Finest Five, new Elite XI! I like change and can’t wait to see them.
Congrats to Chelsea.
And Thank God it’s less than a week to the start of the season.
Cant wait for the Elite XI and FF! I am still pumped up from yesterdays game, mainly because it means the season is starting and my Blues won!! Always great to kick off (what I know will be a great season) with a trophy. Not to mention comeback and a goal from Riccy!! First half was hard to watch, but then Chelsea decided to show up second half, gives me high hopes for Carlo. After it was all over I was almost happy they let Rooney get away with that offside because the PK’s turned out to be fun to watch
Roy now qualifies as hotest manager in the Elite Squad now! Yippee.
Looking forward to the restart of TTO, hoping it will continue in same style. ie. 2 players from the same team to avoid anti team comments as opposed to thigh comments.
I know without having to see it that I will disagree with most of the FF. I am not a young fangirly, but an old Hag instead, therefore I tend to like the less pretty boys, and more macho men
I would like to be able to express my congrats to chelsea for their victory yesterday……….but I wont as it was not the fairest officiating I have seen. Suppose it makes up for their loss in the CL semis. Which game would I have rather won…….ponder…….not.
Wow. I’ve been in the middle of moving house and it looks like I’ve missed alot of drama, which appears to have been mostly edited. I’m glad. I can hardly bear to read that kind of stuff. I’ve seen it before, but it still suprises and hurts me. I know alot of people just don’t care about that either. (I also know some of you do- and I thank you for your support or your respectful silence, as the case may be.) It was an exciting match, and a brilliant win and I am completely thrilled and proud of my boys. Thank you to everyone, whatever their team affiliation, who offered genuine congrats. That’s lovely of you all. Kickette, thank you for stepping in with your comments. I see so much negativity on this main page- often from the same one or two people- and it’s always so disappointing. It’s nice to know there’s a limit. (And also the caption for the pic is hilarious! I’m not ONLY looking at his shorts, but I do include them in my viewing schedule! *blush*) And LoveLamps, your post was all class. Blue is the Colour!!!!!
we?ll be starting up the Thursday Thigh Off again this week, revealing a new Finest Five and debuting our Elite XI squad.
Yaaaaay! I want Metze in the FF,
JT, I can see your little friend
Congrats to Chelsea.
I’m bummed we lost, but congrats. Can’t wait for the upcoming brilliant Kickette stuff
Bravo, Chelsea! Here’s to more trophies this season! And… JT’s shorts are just the icing!
Hmm JT is one real man… The Blues are gonna be great the season! Can’t wait for more… short tent?
LOL @ Wazza, 4th and FTC. Looks like little has changed with the blue boys, but we’ll show em who’s boss during the season. =)
Apologies, moderator. I’ll edit. Congratulations and enjoy the Shield.
Congatulations to Chelsea. Seeing PL teams in action has got me completely fired up for the new season. Bring it on, I can’t wait!!
As ever looking forward to TTOs and FF
Also excited about the new Elite XI. More perving opportunities… what’s a girl to do?
Ladies, I would like to please ask you all again to play nice. This is meant to be a celebratory post not-come-and piss-on-you-parade post. I do apologize for the language however I am amazed that the same kind,warm hearted women who show their support for a member of this community in a previous post come here and cannot post *anything* positive at all? As we have stated numerous times before – you are ALL welcomed to the discussions but keep it nice.
god, that match was unnecessarily exciting. I need my blood pressure to go down before Saturday! And JT, you ROCK the shorts tent!
I am also looking forward to the new season, TTO and all. Not too fusssed about the FF as long as Cesc will be gone.
Yesterday’s match was another good example of bad refereeing and therefore should be considered in that light.
Thought the Community Shield game was surprisingly exciting to watch, especially as I support neither of those teams. And the goal by Rooney in the dying minutes to force penalties– wow drama. Congrats to Chelsea for coming out on top.
Excited for the TTO, the Elite unveiling and new FF. Excited and curious to say the least. I’ll keep an eye out for site issues and let you know, thanks for asking for our input as always!
I’m sorry, but that pic of JT is absolutely repulsive. It looks like he has a bifurcated penis, that is NOT normal. I should point out I have nothing against JT himself, just his peen is odd. Congrats to Chelsea
Congratulations Chelsea! I only tuned in the penalties yesterday, but it was exciting nonetheless.
Yes. I am definitely enjoying JT’s shorts.
Yeesh, I think people need to stop being so negative about not liking the Elite reveal until the actual post LOL who cares, it’s all just a bit of fun. Chillax! Congrats to Chels, I’m just glad to see PL boys back out there! Whoooo. (Oh, and Kickette.. please.. um… I would assume D Becks will be on the Elite squad somewhere?? It’s only right
