I had no idea, and care even less tbh. Couldn't tell you who's playing. I assume Leicester, but couldn't tell you who won tbe cup.
They beat Palace.
With a goal from an ex Albion player.
Sorry, any excuse to bring this up

Who could forget the embarrassment that is Pardew, 'dancing' because Palace scored a goal? Then lost the game a few minutes later.

I believe it was on BT Sport (I looked it up because my Twitter feed was full of drivel about the Community Shield), hence nobody watched it.

Not interested
Back in the day, when the FA Cup final at 3:00pm on a Saturday at Wembley marked the end of the old season, the Charity Shield at Wembley was the harbinger of the new season.
That was before football was invented in the 1990s, and the leagues became oh SOOOoooo important that the second division had to start a week before the first division, with fixtures spread over three days, and irrelevances like the Charity Shield and the Cup Final have to be shoe-horned in when anyone can e arsed to play them. Geez, don't you realise that if they hadn't invented football in the 1990s we'd all be pathetically interested in the Charity Shield? Thank Gawd for Sky, Murdoch, FA greed and progress!

Well, it was a good game of football and won with an old fashioned towering header.

A thought struck me, that as Brighton looked after Jessie Lingard so well, that if Man Utd wanted to send another youngster on loan, besides Wilson, then which Championship team would be in the driving seat?

It won't be Wilson, unless we beat Birmingham to it.

This match is a joke, the FA need to scrap it. Possibly the most irrelevant match in the calendar.

So the charities that receive some of the money raised, will go without?
