Manchester City have their crown back. | :00:37. | :00:45. | |
In added time here at Wembley. The moment that will clinch the first | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
trophy for nine years for Arsene Wenger. Arsenal have won the FA Cup. | :00:53. | :01:00. | |
Good evening. It was a happy trip to Wembley Stadium. Just three months | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
ago for Arsenal, finally ending that long wait for a major trophy. Now | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
they are back looking to add another, taking on the Premier | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
League champions, Manchester City. Both sides will be looking to get | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
the momentum going ahead of this weekend's big Premier League kick | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
off. So let's join our commentary team of Martin Keogh I | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
off. So let's join our commentary team of don't know and Steve Wilson | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
-- Keown and Steve Wilson. You can never win too many trophies | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
at Wembley. Arsenal and Manchester City are likely to be | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
shoulder-to-shoaleder in the hunt for more silverware this season. The | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
FA Community Shield supported by McDonalds is a good way to start. | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
None of Arsenal's three German World Cup winners or Manchester City's | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
three Argentine runners up are here. But FA Cup winners Arsenal can | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
unveil Sanchez, Debuchy and Chambers making debuts and Sanogo is | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
preferred to Giroud upfront. He scored four against Benfica in | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
pre-season. Champions City have not included | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
Kompany, Lampard or former Arsenal fullback, Sagna in their squad. Joe | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
Hart doesn't make the team. Pelgreeny has two number one | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
keepers, he says, if that makes sense and Caballero gets the | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
Northwest nod today. Jovetic has scored five in | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
pre-season and starts alongside Dzeko. | :02:39. | :02:49. | |
Manchester City from right-to-left, all in sky blue against Arsenal in | :02:50. | :02:58. | |
red and white. And Yaya Toure has it for Manchester City. Here is Boyata. | :02:59. | :03:11. | |
Won the Charity Shield or Community Shield 11 times outright Arsenal. | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
Only Manchester United and Liverpool have won it more than the Gunners. | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
Ramsey. Sanogo. Debuchy. Well found. Nasri getting back. | :03:24. | :03:35. | |
An chose from Ramsey. Wants to return. Cleverly played. Here is | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
Debuchy. Did well to get across it. Sanogo nearly got something on it. | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
Not out of woods yet, Manchester City. Cazorla. Arteta. Ramsey. | :03:47. | :03:59. | |
Sanchez. Good play from Arsenal. Debuchy's cross too high for Sanogo. | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
On the back foot Manchester City. Gibbs. Arteta. Wilshere. | :04:06. | :04:22. | |
Sanchez. Jovetic. Chambers did well. Good play by Arsenal. Yes, very | :04:23. | :04:36. | |
good. Mesmerizing passing. Just about stays on. Debuchy impressed me | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
here. He gets that ball on. Defending well there, Clichy. Those | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
two will be very pleased with what they have seen so far. Kolarov. | :04:48. | :05:03. | |
Clichy. Nicely played. Navas to the by line. Dzeko left it. Nasri hit | :05:04. | :05:21. | |
it. There was a claim for handball. Jovetic thought it was worth a | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
shout. Brilliant turn from Kolarov. Kolarov Manchester City. Koscielny. | :05:29. | :05:39. | |
. Fernandinho it it. -- Fernando hit it. Here is the shot from Nasri. | :05:40. | :05:50. | |
Hits it from close range. The referee might want to give it. He's | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
not even in a Manchester City kit but it's strange seeing him in a | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
Manchester City tie Frank Lampard, alongside Aguero. He's in blue. | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
That's where it stops. He would never have believeded this time last | :06:06. | :06:13. | |
year he was on his way to Man City. Fernando chasing him. | :06:14. | :06:21. | |
Wilshere. Gibbs. Neat little one-two. Clichy. Gibbs is in the | :06:22. | :06:34. | |
mood. It was Clichy's pass that got his team in trouble. | :06:35. | :07:02. | |
Ramsey. Sanchez. Sanogo. Play on, says the referee. He might profit. | :07:03. | :07:19. | |
Oh, he does! Cazorla. He gives the FA Cup winners the lead over the | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
Premier League champions. Good advantage played here as well | :07:22. | :07:35. | |
by the referee because he could have given a free kick here. Intricate | :07:36. | :07:47. | |
passing edge of the box. 1-0 Arsenal. Little swivel on to his | :07:48. | :07:57. | |
left foot. Delightful finish by the Spaniard. Arsenal deservedly are in | :07:58. | :08:12. | |
front. Debuchy back to goalkeeper Chesney who's been pretty much a | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
spectator -- Szczesny. Gibbs. Goal scorer Cazorla neatly and quickly. | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
Cazorla again and Sanogo. Puts it wide. Chance for the young man. That | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
would have been absolutely brilliant. Sublime play from | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
Arsenal. Through-ball to Sanogo. Hits it early. Only thing he doesn't | :08:37. | :08:48. | |
do is put it in the back of the net. And he's disappointed. Navas. | :08:49. | :09:06. | |
Wilshere. Cazorla. On to Sanchez. Five in this attack, Arsenal. | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
Sanchez not quite. Fernando. Driven in. Cazorla seeing the chance. | :09:13. | :09:32. | |
Corner. Clichy the man with the block or | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
half block. Chambers, Koscielny and Sanogo. Sanchez is inside the six | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
yard box. Didn't get the contact he was | :09:41. | :10:00. | |
looking for, the Arsenal striker. . Hit him on the shoulder. | :10:01. | :10:10. | |
Gibbs got a foot in. Koscielny. Lovely ball. Sanchez. Ramsey's | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
sticking with Sanchez. Sanogo's there. Ramsey. Cazorla is arriving | :10:18. | :10:29. | |
to Ramsey's left. Sanchez. Boyata. Navas for Manchester City. | :10:30. | :10:40. | |
Dzeko. Jovetic. Good ball. Kolarov. Jovetic in the middle. Didn't quite | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
come to Nasri and it's cleared by Gibbs. Almost got through there, | :10:45. | :10:53. | |
Manchester City. Good ball in. Eludes the Arsenal defenders, just | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
bubbles up and Nasri can't get on the end of it. Here is the spray for | :10:58. | :11:13. | |
the first time on an English field. The crowd love it. It's not quite | :11:14. | :11:29. | |
straight but never mind. Toure is going to have a pop. Fernando back | :11:30. | :11:47. | |
to Toure. Nasri. Kolarov. Nasri. Jovetic trying to squeeze it | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
through. Arteta can find Cazorla. Handball by Fernando. The referee | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
thought so too. Very pleased that we are going to get the spray in the | :11:58. | :12:06. | |
Premier League this season. Here is Gibbs. And still. Navas sticking | :12:07. | :12:20. | |
with him. Ramsey. Sanogo was waiting. Sanogo making a nuisance of | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
himself here. Manchester City with Fernando finds Dzeko and they might | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
continue here. Jovetic. Dzeko's made something of this. He got away from | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
Chambers. Dzeko here. Jovetic couldn't quite get away from | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
Koscielny. Foul by Sanchez. Manchester City | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
have a free kick. They did ever so well. Just that counterattack, | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
Chambers there, getting down on the right hand side. That little | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
question mark, when Arsenal are attacking, it's about leaving the | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
right numbers back to be able to deal with that. Manchester City seem | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
to be realising the opportunity. Fernando. Toure. Nasri. Kolarov. | :13:04. | :13:15. | |
Dangerous. Wilshere. Sanchez. Wilshere is down. | :13:16. | :13:30. | |
Lovely ball by Sanchez. Sanogo. Still and Ramsey and Ramsey for 2-0! | :13:31. | :13:44. | |
Arran Ramsey doubles Arsenal's lead. On the counterattack and Arsene | :13:45. | :13:53. | |
Wenger's side are two to the good. Brilliant from Ramsey. Look at the | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
distance he covers. Sanchez holding it, waiting for him. Sanogo stay on | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
side. Uses his power and strength, Sanogo. Hook at the patience, waits | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
for his chance, he's really punished Man City there. Sanogo holding up | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
nicely. Lovely little flick there from Ramsey. Lifts it over the top | :14:17. | :14:24. | |
of the defender's foot. Beautiful. Punishes them into the corner. | :14:25. | :14:36. | |
Arsenal sweeping around Wembley's goal. | :14:37. | :14:44. | |
They can break again here. Sanogo, back into Sanchez who is on side | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
here. Caballero did ever so well for Manchester City. Sanchez watched | :14:49. | :14:59. | |
that one-in. Unbelievable. Great ball from Sanogo. Times his run and | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
all credit to the keeper because he has to get to that. He's done ever | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
so well here, Caballero for Manchester City. | :15:07. | :15:15. | |
Toure. Dzeko. Lovely first touch to Silva, looking for Navas. Important | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
header from Monreal. Navas was in behind but City asking a few | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
questions. Clichy. Silva. No surprise if Silva inspired City to | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
better things. Toure. Monreal's already been busy in a few moments | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
since he came up. Did well there, Monreal. | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
Delayed his tackle on Toure. You can already see Manchester City | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
have improved since half time. Navas. Was he fouled by Giroud? No. | :15:46. | :15:53. | |
Wilshere. Ramsey. Jack Wilshere. He was fouled. The referee, Michael | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
Oliver, is having words with Fernando. That's the first yellow | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
card coming out. He's just pulled Wilshere back. | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
Absolutely no need. He can have no complaints. Look at this. Puts an | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
arm on his shoulder. Fernando actually served a 12-month | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
international ban in 2007 for assaulting a referee at the South | :16:19. | :16:20. | |
American under 20 Championships. Another free kick here for Jovetic | :16:21. | :16:45. | |
or Wilshere. Wilshere tends to draw these fouls out of opponents. Late | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
releasing the ball. That's why he's got so many injuries over the years. | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
Monreal. Cazorla. Gibbs. Ramsey. Beautifully done. | :16:59. | :17:09. | |
Ricochetted off Fernando. A few shouts for handball. Arsenal get the | :17:10. | :17:20. | |
throw. Lovely balance by Ramsey. It span round. This was the appeal | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
for handball against Fernando. Again it's happening so quickly. | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
That hits him on the chest. Yes. Shoulder, rather than the arm. Dzeko | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
forward finding Silva. Toure. Navas. Too high for Dzeko. Attacked at the | :17:36. | :17:52. | |
back post and it's off the post from Jovetic and the rebound is wide. Hit | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
the wood work. Jovetic has had a very good pre-season. Getting on the | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
end of this. Powerful header. I think it's a great save in the end. | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
Maybe it did hit the post. Nice touch from Silva. Yeovil touch. | :18:11. | :18:50. | |
Chance here. Good save by Szczesny. Kolarov getting forward was the | :18:51. | :19:00. | |
problem for Arsenal. -- Jovetic. Look at that. That is as good a save | :19:01. | :19:10. | |
as you'll see. It's a reaction save. Here is Yaya Toure. Finding Jovetic. | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
Fernando. Silva. Kolarov. Kolarov might reach | :19:18. | :19:31. | |
that. Szczesny got there and it's a goal kick. Going to be a double | :19:32. | :19:42. | |
substitution here for Manchester City. Milner is coming on, number 7, | :19:43. | :19:50. | |
and less familiar to you will be number 36, Bruno Zucullini, | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
21-year-old Argentine signed from a club for ?3 million. He's been | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
involved in pre-season and done well. His brother plays for Bologna, | :20:00. | :20:09. | |
his older brother, Franco. Giroud. Good try. Fantastic goal | :20:10. | :20:23. | |
from Giroud. He's answered a few critics with | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
that one. Who said I wasn't fit, that is what he is saying. | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
Unbelievable. He's got no right to score from there. Incredible finish. | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
Look at this. A real opportunist effort. Gives himself space. | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
Fantastic shot. The power and swerve on it. Taken a little deflection I | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
think just as he hits this. Nastasic coming across, I think it just | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
flicked off Nastasic's foot. The keeper is flailing after that. It's | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
a wonderful finish. Perfect for his confidence. Arsenal 3, Manchester | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
City 0. Clichy. Zucullini. Silva. Lovely | :21:07. | :21:24. | |
typical Silva turn. Zucullini almost on to it, but Arteta can find | :21:25. | :21:33. | |
Wilshere who wriggles through too. Wilshere picking himself up. I think | :21:34. | :21:41. | |
he'll be OK. 3-0 to Arsenal. This is nearer to Wenger's first choice 11 | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
than it is to Pellegrini's. Navas to Silva. Definitely. I still feel | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
there will be a reaction from City. Clichy's ball in. | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
It's good for their confidence to win a game like this. If they lose, | :22:03. | :22:13. | |
it's part of pre-season. The overhead kick doesn't come off. Is | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
it the end of pre-season or the beginning of the season. I suppose | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
the answer is, it depends if you win or not. Exactly. The emphatic | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
message if it stays like this, the three Germans aren't even here and | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
you are 3-0 up against the champions. | :22:34. | :22:46. | |
Boyata for Manchester City who've now accepted the inevitable. | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
Zucullini. Looking for Sinclair. Picked up by Silva. Sinclair. Not | :22:53. | :23:02. | |
much of an angle. Put behind for a corner. Debuchy's got a bit of | :23:03. | :23:14. | |
cramp. Scored a hat trick here for Swansea many the play-off finals. | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
Put it just wide. It's a tremendous leap. Just over | :23:22. | :23:33. | |
the top of Szczesny. Probably the only thing he's done wrong. Just | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
hesitated. Lucky not to be punished. The two of them climbed. Came off | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
the back of Boyata's head, rather than Richards'. Zucullini forward. | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
Sinclair and Szczesny had to use his head, literally. The refer yes's | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
whistle has denied Manchester City the chance to do something with the | :23:57. | :24:04. | |
follow-up, but Szczesny here is down. Fantastic run from Sinclair. | :24:05. | :24:12. | |
Szczesny's coming out with his head, outside of his box. Chipped in. | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
Lovely run, gets there first and not sure Sinclair's done a lot wrong | :24:19. | :24:20. | |
there. Maybe he caught Szczesny. Szczesny would appear to be OK. A | :24:21. | :24:37. | |
couple of added minutes on to what was already added time. Chambers | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
will take the free kick for his keeper. | :24:43. | :24:50. | |
Oxlade-Chamberlain to Flamini. Gibbs. Monreal. | :24:51. | :25:07. | |
Off side on the far side. Zucullini for Manchester City who've | :25:08. | :25:19. | |
been well beaten today. I think it was the way they started the game, | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
second half they were a lot better. It was the first half display where | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
Arsenal moved the ball beautifully well. Sanchez in his right position | :25:32. | :25:41. | |
moving well for his team. Debuchy. Fernando clipping it away. | :25:42. | :25:50. | |
Milner. Gibbs. Nastasic. Clichy. And the | :25:51. | :26:12. | |
2014 FA Community Shield has been won by Arsene Wenger and Arsenal. | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
The FA Cup winners beat the Premier League champions and deservedly so. | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
Arsenal good value for their victory. Cazorla with the first, | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
Ramsey with the second and Giroud with a beautiful third. It's been a | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
very good performance from the Gunners, Martin Keown, and having | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
ended that nine-year trophy drought with the FA Cup last May, they'll be | :26:39. | :26:45. | |
very happy to make it two. Without doubt that takes Arsene Wenger now | :26:46. | :26:52. | |
on into a new season. He looks five years younger looking at him winning | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
the FA Cup. It will be a nice photograph with the two trophies | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
this year beneath his feet. It finishes at Wembley in the FA | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
Community Shield supported by McDonald's. Arsenal 3, Manchester | :27:09. | :27:15. | |
City 0. Aaron Ramsey, you must love this | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
place, another Wembley goal? Yes, we want to play here every week, we've | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
scored in the final and again today. So we are delighted with that. It | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
put us in a good position going into the league now. What is the feeling | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
like in the squad? Is there a feeling that you have a squad | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
capable for winning a big massive title? I believe so. We came close | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
last year, we knead to improve from last season against the big teams a | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
way from home. We'll learn our lesson from last year and you will | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
see a different Arsenal in the away games and I reckon we'll be there or | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
thereabouts at the end. That's a big marker isn't it, beating Manchester | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
City. Some may say it's only the Community Shield but you have beaten | :27:59. | :28:00. | |
the Premier League champions? Absolutely. We come here preparing | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
the right way, didn't treat it as a friendly, as a proper game, and we | :28:06. | :28:09. | |
managed to to that and come out and win the game 3-0. Mikel, many | :28:10. | :28:15. | |
congratulations, in many ways the perfect start to your season? Yes, | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
at Wembley we wanted to start the season very strong as we finished | :28:20. | :28:24. | |
and it's a good start against a top team. To win 3-0 here it's a special | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
day. Made a terrific signing in Sanchez. What difference has he made | :28:29. | :28:34. | |
around the place? Well, I think he creates momentum. You can notice the | :28:35. | :28:39. | |
difference straightaway. He brings pace, experience and skill. The | :28:40. | :28:45. | |
other teams will be scared of him. Your manager says you are a better | :28:46. | :28:50. | |
side than last year. Do you get the feeling that you are potential title | :28:51. | :28:53. | |
contenders this season? We have to be. The other teams have signed some | :28:54. | :28:58. | |
top players, so it's going to be one of the most exciting Premier Leagues | :28:59. | :29:01. | |
in years. We are ready for it and want to challenge all the teams. Not | :29:02. | :29:06. | |
a bad start to your Arsenal career, got your hands on silverware? I | :29:07. | :29:10. | |
know. To get nit the first competitive game, it's an amazing | :29:11. | :29:15. | |
game, especially at Wembley. More of this for the coming year. What is | :29:16. | :29:19. | |
the feeling like in the club? Can you go on from this? You've won the | :29:20. | :29:24. | |
FA Cup and now the Community Shield. General title contenders? Yes, this | :29:25. | :29:31. | |
team's got great bunches of players and there's great team spirit. We | :29:32. | :29:34. | |
are all doing really well so we'll go into every game and give it our | :29:35. | :29:38. | |
best. You have got some tremendous fight for places, haven't you? The | :29:39. | :29:42. | |
World Cup winners coming back soon, Walcott is coming back, it's a squad | :29:43. | :29:47. | |
capable of winning a major title? It's a strong squad. Competition for | :29:48. | :29:51. | |
places is a good thing. It will make everyone want to play better and get | :29:52. | :29:55. | |
in the team next week, so yes, I think we have got a strong team this | :29:56. | :29:59. | |
year. You have slotted in nicely and looked like you enjoyed it? I did. | :30:00. | :30:04. | |
Everyone's welcomed me and I can't thank them enough for that. So Mikel | :30:05. | :30:14. | |
Arteta walks up the steps. Arsenal who didn't win a bean from 20005 to | :30:15. | :30:21. | |
2014, but who ended that drought on 17th May, here at Wembley beating | :30:22. | :30:27. | |
Hull City in the FA Cup final and who are back, just a few weeks' | :30:28. | :30:31. | |
later to receive the FA Community Shield, supported by McDonald's, and | :30:32. | :30:36. | |
to receive it from a man who knows all about Arsenal Football Club, | :30:37. | :30:37. | |
from Pat Wright. A life-long association with the | :30:38. | :30:49. | |
Gunners. He has done it all and seen it all. But you don't -- I don't | :30:50. | :30:55. | |
remember him ever presenting a trophy to Arsenal before. He has | :30:56. | :31:02. | |
received a view and Pat Rice congratulates each one of those red | :31:03. | :31:10. | |
and white shirted players. And hands the FA Community Shield to Mikel | :31:11. | :31:17. | |
Arteta and Arsenal start season 2014/2015 in style with broad smiles | :31:18. | :31:22. | |
and with silverware. The FA Community Shield belongs to Arsenal. | :31:23. | :31:35. | |
Many congratulations. In many ways, the perfect start. A fantastic | :31:36. | :31:42. | |
display. We played well, especially in the first half and we defended | :31:43. | :31:48. | |
very well. We had good variation in our attacking display. The second | :31:49. | :31:53. | |
half, we couldn't sustain physically completely what we did in the first | :31:54. | :31:57. | |
but we kept great togetherness and great desire to fight together. | :31:58. | :32:00. | |
Disappointing start to the season. Well, it is not the start of the | :32:01. | :32:05. | |
season. Maybe it is the end of the last season because we are now in | :32:06. | :32:11. | |
pre-season and the squad is not - the starting 11 today is not our | :32:12. | :32:16. | |
normal starting 11. We have one week more to work. So the season starts | :32:17. | :32:20. | |
next Sunday. I think it is always good to win this game, to win the | :32:21. | :32:25. | |
Communtiy Shield but Arsenal played better than us, the first half | :32:26. | :32:29. | |
especially. And they scored two goals. The second half we had | :32:30. | :32:32. | |
possession and chances to score but we didn't. Some will say it is only | :32:33. | :32:36. | |
the Communtiy Shield but the big plus for you, Arsne, is you have | :32:37. | :32:41. | |
beaten Manchester City, the Premier League champions. Yes, it is always | :32:42. | :32:45. | |
the same. If you lose it, people say to you - you have lost a trophy. If | :32:46. | :32:51. | |
you win it, it is only the Communtiy Shield. We have to live with that. | :32:52. | :32:55. | |
It was an important game for us, in our mind and we won it, so that's | :32:56. | :33:00. | |
all I can say. Of can dent of retaining your title -- confident? | :33:01. | :33:03. | |
Of course. We know always the Premier League is a tough league, | :33:04. | :33:09. | |
whether you have five or six strong squads in the league -- where you | :33:10. | :33:13. | |
have five or six. They have a chance to win the title | :33:14. | :33:17. | |
but I think we have a stronger team than last year. We hope we can | :33:18. | :33:20. | |
repeat but that we can demonstrate on the pitch and in the talking. How | :33:21. | :33:24. | |
excited are you about this season? Suddenly you have a squad that's | :33:25. | :33:27. | |
talented, a squad surely capable of winning the Premier League? Look, | :33:28. | :33:30. | |
I'm excited and cautious as well because, you know, as well, | :33:31. | :33:37. | |
football, as I know, I have a lot of experience and it is a good basis, | :33:38. | :33:42. | |
you know, but mathematically, of course, we want to win the Premier | :33:43. | :33:47. | |
League and we have a desire to do it but we are conscious as well that | :33:48. | :33:52. | |
there are many, many good teams in the league and let's just focus on | :33:53. | :33:56. | |
the next one and then try to be consistent. So Arsenal lift the | :33:57. | :33:59. | |
Communtiy Shield for the first time since 2004. Fantastic array of | :34:00. | :34:03. | |
talent on display at Wembley this afternoon and a fantastic line-up | :34:04. | :34:08. | |
this evening. Good evening to Tony Pulis, Brad Friedel and Martin | :34:09. | :34:13. | |
Keown. Arsene Wenger says he is excited about the new season, he has | :34:14. | :34:17. | |
every right to be after today? They played well. The first half they | :34:18. | :34:20. | |
deserved to be 2-0 up. Second half, I thought Man City came into T David | :34:21. | :34:25. | |
Silva came on and made a difference. -- I thought Man City came into it. | :34:26. | :34:30. | |
But when Olivier Giroud scored the goal, the game died. I think City | :34:31. | :34:36. | |
took their foot off the pedal and Arsenal did. Arsenal deserved to | :34:37. | :34:39. | |
win. Brad, disappointed with Manchester City? Well, I was more | :34:40. | :34:45. | |
impressed with Arsenal. I thought Karzai, Sanchez and Wilshere and | :34:46. | :34:52. | |
Ramsey in the first half, Man City's back half couldn't deal with them. I | :34:53. | :34:56. | |
thought Chambers was composed. He looked good. The pressing, the | :34:57. | :34:59. | |
energy, everything was better from Arsenal. Man City didn't know what | :35:00. | :35:03. | |
to do. Yaya Toure go the frustrated. As Tony said, in the second half | :35:04. | :35:07. | |
when they brought in Silva, he was getting into pockets, they started | :35:08. | :35:10. | |
to get forward. They desperately needed a goal to make it 2-1 when | :35:11. | :35:16. | |
Giroud made it 3-0, that killed off the game. Let's look at the goals. | :35:17. | :35:42. | |
Hamid Karzai, he like - - Santi Cazorla likes it here. | :35:43. | :35:47. | |
I was surprised Man City never matched them up. They played 4-4-2 | :35:48. | :35:52. | |
and Navas and Nasri didn't track back. Arsenal occupy their back four | :35:53. | :35:56. | |
with their three forwards. The two wide players come off the line and | :35:57. | :36:01. | |
pull right in time. You you have to narrow your back four N Arsenal | :36:02. | :36:05. | |
pushed the two fullbacks on and almost played like wingbacks. They | :36:06. | :36:16. | |
had five almost upfront. And then Toure and Fernando were picking up | :36:17. | :36:22. | |
them. Man City never got to grips with it. | :36:23. | :36:26. | |
It will be interesting if Pellegrini sticks with two strikers. That was | :36:27. | :36:30. | |
what won them the lead. But today their midfield couldn't get on the | :36:31. | :36:34. | |
ball. Just against the better teams, who keep the ball well, if you get | :36:35. | :36:38. | |
outnumbered in midfield, I think you always have a problem. I think he | :36:39. | :36:41. | |
has to lock at that, especially when they play the top teams in Europe. | :36:42. | :36:47. | |
Brad, Olivier Giroud, you often wonder how play letters react after | :36:48. | :36:51. | |
coming off the World Cup but he came on and scored a great goal. He Z it | :36:52. | :36:58. | |
was aided by deflection. -- he Z substitution came on. We were | :36:59. | :37:01. | |
talking about the formation, out of nothing, Giroud touches it to his | :37:02. | :37:07. | |
left T gets -- left. It gets deflected a bit over Caballero. He | :37:08. | :37:11. | |
didn't vch else to do in that second half but once the third goal went | :37:12. | :37:16. | |
in, game over. The game was lost by Man City in the first half. They | :37:17. | :37:20. | |
didn't take it seriously enough. It shows you, even if you champions and | :37:21. | :37:25. | |
you are way better, you will get punished. Arsenal started well. The | :37:26. | :37:28. | |
fullbacks were getting out nicely. Debuchy had a game, Chambers at the | :37:29. | :37:35. | |
back. What about that for confidence playing in a gym of that size and | :37:36. | :37:41. | |
the enormity. -- a gym. If you play with two upfront, and getting | :37:42. | :37:46. | |
outnumbered there is nothing wrong with one striker coming up. When | :37:47. | :37:49. | |
David Silva came up, they floated into the middle and got more joy | :37:50. | :37:53. | |
going forward. In the first half they stuck with the two upfront and | :37:54. | :37:57. | |
Arsenal possessed the ball for 45 straight minutes. I have to ask you | :37:58. | :38:02. | |
about Alexis Sanchez. He was fantastic for Chile in the World | :38:03. | :38:08. | |
Cup. When you have a player of his ability, surely it makes you Premier | :38:09. | :38:13. | |
League title contenders. If you look at Arsenal, Cazorla and Giroud | :38:14. | :38:16. | |
haven't got the pace that the top players who played for Arsenal had | :38:17. | :38:19. | |
before. Sanchez joining the group now, he brings that pace and when | :38:20. | :38:25. | |
you get Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain fit, that'll | :38:26. | :38:29. | |
cause teamses. And you have your -- teams problems. And you have your | :38:30. | :38:35. | |
World Cup players. Yes when I was looking at the squads, and you were | :38:36. | :38:39. | |
talking about who Man City and Arsenal were going to buy and you | :38:40. | :38:44. | |
see who is on the Beverly and on the bench and then you have Podolski and | :38:45. | :38:50. | |
others to come. I'm not sure they have too much more to purchase. I | :38:51. | :38:56. | |
thought Chambers' positioning was excellent. I will leave that to you, | :38:57. | :39:01. | |
being ex- na. Chambers, you are right. Coming in showing promise. I | :39:02. | :39:05. | |
personally feel a deep-lying midfield player to slot n someone | :39:06. | :39:09. | |
with the pace that Toure has in there. You want that pace in and | :39:10. | :39:13. | |
around you. But I look at the progression of some of these | :39:14. | :39:15. | |
players. Ramsey now, he is really looking a top, top player. The | :39:16. | :39:20. | |
biggest compliment I can pay him, he is almost as good as Fabregas was | :39:21. | :39:25. | |
when he left. He is the glue in the team. Excellent. Sanchez comes off | :39:26. | :39:28. | |
the line. Doesn't play down the middle but when he does, it is | :39:29. | :39:32. | |
difficult. It will be interesting to see how Palace will cope with him. | :39:33. | :39:38. | |
Sanogo is getting tidier, progressing as a player and is a | :39:39. | :39:42. | |
thorn in the opposition's side. Before Arsenal fans get ahead of | :39:43. | :39:46. | |
themselves, they have a tricky opening fixture against Crystal | :39:47. | :39:49. | |
Palace, are you ready for them? Tony? I thought they were | :39:50. | :39:55. | |
magnificent today. Are you ready? Obviously it will be a tough game | :39:56. | :39:58. | |
for us. After today's result they will be full of confidence. We have | :39:59. | :40:02. | |
nothing to lose. Everybody will expect Arsenal to win, so we will go | :40:03. | :40:07. | |
there and give it our best. Thank you very much. So the Premier League | :40:08. | :40:10. | |
kicks off on Saturday. You will not miss a thing with us, on the BBC. | :40:11. | :40:29. | |
COMMENTATOR: What a strike. Magnificent. ! What an absolute | :40:30. | :40:39. | |
cracker. From the Premier League to the FA Cup, Football League and the | :40:40. | :40:43. | |
best women's football. There's more football than ever, all across the | :40:44. | :40:44. | |
BBC. So make sure you are on your sofa at | :40:45. | :40:58. | |
12.10 on Saturday for the first Football Focus of the season, | :40:59. | :41:01. | |
including an interview with Manchester City manager, Manuel | :41:02. | :41:07. | |
Pellegrini. Final score kicks off at 2.30 and Gary Lineker will be joined | :41:08. | :41:16. | |
by Alan Shearer and Rudd -- Guillit. Well, how excited are you. How is | :41:17. | :41:22. | |
your manager lining up? He is very good. His training is demanding but | :41:23. | :41:27. | |
in an enjoyable way. The players are backing what he is telling us. We | :41:28. | :41:31. | |
will be high pressing, trying to do all the things you saw in | :41:32. | :41:35. | |
Southampton and if you saw Spain play, it has been - we start with a | :41:36. | :41:40. | |
West Ham team that we lost three times to last year, so we are going | :41:41. | :41:45. | |
to want to put that right. It is interesting what he did at | :41:46. | :41:50. | |
Southampton where he has made the careers of such young players. He | :41:51. | :41:54. | |
has arrived at a club, lots of new signings, can he turn you into a | :41:55. | :41:59. | |
really good team? The answer to that is, yes, I think he K I think he has | :42:00. | :42:04. | |
started 234 training. I think his tactical approach -- he has started | :42:05. | :42:09. | |
in training. His tactical approach, very authoritative. Interesting, I | :42:10. | :42:12. | |
think Spurs will go well. I don't think you will get into the top | :42:13. | :42:17. | |
four, but I think you will go some way it playing better than last | :42:18. | :42:20. | |
year. I think we will be very close to that. We'll have a little side | :42:21. | :42:27. | |
wagers. Tony, how excited are you by the new season? You have made good | :42:28. | :42:31. | |
signings. We stillville work to do and need to do work -- we still have | :42:32. | :42:37. | |
a bit of work to do. The squad needs strengthening but it is always | :42:38. | :42:39. | |
exciting the week before the first game of the Premier League season. | :42:40. | :42:43. | |
The honour to go to the Emirates and play against a great side, great | :42:44. | :42:46. | |
manager, great Football Club, Arsenal. One of the great football | :42:47. | :42:49. | |
clubs in the world. We are looking forward to it. Realistically, can | :42:50. | :42:52. | |
Arsenal win the Premier League? I think it will be tough. They are | :42:53. | :42:56. | |
spending big money now. I think Man City, really, though, go in as the | :42:57. | :43:00. | |
favourites. Chelsea, there is a lot of stuff there, players coming in. | :43:01. | :43:04. | |
Man City are the favourites. Arsenal might push another place above. | :43:05. | :43:08. | |
Maybe third this year. Good to see you, boys. Thank you very much. So, | :43:09. | :43:12. | |
Arsenal lift the Communtiy Shield here at Wembley, just six sleeps to | :43:13. | :43:16. | |
go before the start of the Premier League season. From all of us here, | :43:17. | :43:18. | |
bye for now. Cazorla, the FA Cup winners over the | :43:19. | :43:37. | |
Premier League champion. The spray and the crowd love it. | :43:38. | :43:45. | |
Ramsey for 2-1. -- 2-0. Olivier Giroud. A fantastic goal. | :43:46. | :43:52. |
