Best community shield game ever was August 1998 when Anelka rang rings around Jaap Stam. Chris Wreh scored in that game which if my memory serves me correctly we ended up winning 3-0.
Who remembers the community shield in 2004? A certain 16 year old Cesc Fabregas making his full Arsenal first team debut v Roy Keane.
Reyes nearly scored a wonder goal that game too when he ran past about 5 Utd players that day only to hit the post right at the end.
Love community shield, glorified friendly indeed but gets you proper in the mood for the new season.
