didnt watch I never do unless we are in it, its just hype fest for Sky Sports, strangely though the last 5 seasons the charity shield winner has gone on to take the title so thats a strong omen for Utd if you believe in that sort of thing.
Im not sure it really tells us anything about the relative strengths of the two favourites though, Scholes Giggs Neville etc might look decent for 90 minutes after a 3 month rest but we all know they are getting progressively less effective and come Nov/Dec Id fancy Essien when back to 100% to completely bully that Utd team, same with Drogba
Ferguson will be mouthing off about this as a statement of intent as usual but it means very little, they needed this far more pyschologicaly than Chelsea, who as current double winners can bruch this off as a mere training excercise
