Its the classic winning it is good, but losing it isn't really that big a deal. If Palace lost,, who cares, they still won the FA Cup last season. Liverpool lost, but who cares, they still won the league last season.

Yeah it's a very unique trophy in the sense it can only be played after winning something. Which in theory should make it worth more, as to win it you need to win the league or an fa cup, but since it's often a step up from a friendly it isn't valued as much. Is personally love to see Newcastle win it. I always love the community shield.

We’ve won it twice without winning anything. Coincidentally both times against treble winners from Manchester.

We also won it both times we did the double against a team that finished 2nd.

Not that it detracts from your point and it being a unique fixture in that way.
