Wenger was in the spotlight at full-time twice – first when he walked down the tunnel and then when he appeared to swerve a potential handshake with his fierce enemy as the Blues boss congratulated Arsenal’s players for their victory.

There is no denying that Arsenal played a pretty great match against Chelsea in the Community Shield, but was this performance enough to show that the Gunners are legit contenders in the Premier League?
Cech has given a couple of reasons as to why he chose No. 33 as his shirt number, tweeting that he’s starting a “new chapter at 33 years of age with 333 games in the Premier League…”
Chelsea start their Premier League campaign against Swansea on Saturday, while Arsenal host West Ham in their season-opener on Sunday. “I just think it’s vital managers respect each other“. Losing is just awful in all respects.
Midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has denied claims by Roy Keane the Arsenal players are obsessed with selfies and insists they are all deadly serious about winning trophies again next season. That’s the same as the manager on a daily basis.
In pre-season thus far, only the likes of David Ospina, Danny Welbeck and Alexis Sanchez have been missing and with most of the squad fit for once, you can really appreciate how much strength in depth the Gunners now boast across the park.
Terry also dismissed concerns that Diego Costa’s fitness problems – the Spain striker missed the match with a recurrence of a hamstring injury – will be a problem given the underwhelming displays of stand-in Loic Remy and new boy Radamel Falcao.

“I think in terms of possession we had the majority of the game but it’s the scoreline that matters and we’re disappointed with that”, he added. “Sometimes you have to sit in and invite them on and get them on the counter-attack”, Ramsey said. “We have to take the positives from it. We got another 90 minutes under our belts”. I know that my club is able to buy or to sell – every club can buy or can sell in this moment – but I don’t like that feeling. Tottenham proved it could run with the best last year and will definitely look to pick up where they left off. This is a young and hungry team that is definitely looking to make a name for themselves. I like my people, I like players I like my squad I am happy to work with them.
