The English football season returns on Sunday when Premier League champions Chelsea meet FA Cup winners Arsenal in the FA Community Shield at Wembley.

The match comes 64 days after the Gunners ended the domestic season with their 4-0 FA Cup win over Aston Villa. Neither side have added significantly to their squads over the summer - though goalkeeper Petr Cech will make his Arsenal debut against his old side. Chelsea could hand a start to new signing Radamel Falcao. Falcao, 29, spent last season with Manchester United but endured a poor campaign, scoring just four goals in 29 games. He signed a season-long loan deal from Monaco earlier this summer, while Chelsea's only other signing is goalkeeper Asmir Begovic from Stoke. He replaces Cech, 33, who played 494 games in 11 seasons at Stamford Bridge before his £10m move in June. Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed that striker Diego Costa (hamstring) and defender Gary Cahill (nose) are both fit after pre-season injury concerns.

A rivalry renewed: Wenger v Mourinho Sunday sees two Premier League giants collide, with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger hoping to beat a side managed by Jose Mourinho for the first time. Wenger is yet to taste victory against Mourinho in 13 attempts and the two managers have already been involved in one disagreement this summer.

HOOK UP WITH FRIENDS

Oh! This forum is meant for all the single peeps out there!!! Do you want or like when your friends try to set you up with their other single friends? I certainly do not. It's happened to me a number of times within the past two years. My sister tried to pair me up with her co-worker's niece. The problem there was that I had no idea what she looked like or knew what she was interested in. I'm not the best conversationalist in the world, so that would have been a dilemma. To top it all off, she wanted me to take her to a fancy restaurant and pay for everything. Nuh uh. Not on my salary. The other year, my friends forced me to be paired up with one of their friends for their wedding. It was awkward. While she was attractive, I think I'd have a better conversation with a cat. And heck, just the other night, I went out with my friends who invited some of his other friends to a restaurant to celebrate a birthday. My friend sat beside me and said, "Hey, you know everyone

Life On The Line Chapter 1

TITLE:                LIFE ON THE LINE                   CHAPTER ONE . (THE DAWN). Life in the campus was nothing but one with mixed feelings. The good days were there for me to lean on at my leisure, while the bad ones left sore in my throats. Was is the threat of choice and freedom from the gangs who classified themselves as the alpha and omega of us all, or the illegal and unlawful impositions from the lecturers and most annoying hike in our tuitions by the school authorities... there were many of such to remember for years to come. Although,those mixed acts were not unexpected as my father did foretold me of their comings, but some of them were beyond my handling. As days went by, months kept running like the wheel of a moving train, years were burnt out like candle wax and all things, excluding my unexpected, went as nature planned them. My face was captured by every single eye in my department,my name was on every tongue and so the platonic love of my forms for me knew no bound.
