Thomas Frank thinks it’s a one game season - off on a victory lap. Playing up to the cameras and kissing babies - must be running for election. What a pain that man is🤮!

I’m laughing, but then, you know the rest… starting at 12:30 tomorrow.
So VAR firmly switched on for a couple of hours tomorrow :(

Indeed they are no mugs, Brentford are a progressive club :tup:

Well, apart from the fact that it was the 'same old Arsenal'...I was impressed with Brentford, let's be honest, a better start than our impressive first game defeat at Liverpool last season.....just saying.

Felt the analysis by Carragher and Neville regarding White was interesting.

Talked about how different it is being a cb in a back 4 and a back 3.

How in a back 4 it may negatively impact Whites strengths ( ball playing) and highlight his weaknesses (physicallly and aerial).

Interesting insight and lot of pressure on White who absolutely is not a £50mil player and that probably doesnt help, huge pressure

Very different games. Arsenal didn't have Van Dijk, Salah, Robertson...well, anyone as effective as the team we faced really.

Brentford did a job on them, that's for sure but Arsenal looked like an U23s side. :shock:

Arsenal are in a right mess and have been for many seasons now.

Arteta will be on his bike soon, maybe Fwank will be avin a word wif Uncle Arry to get him the job 🙂

The ensuing disaster would be priceless :lol:

I'm happier with Koch, Llorente, Struijk and Cooper. White can have fun with Arteta and the next clown 🤡 that rolls up to manage The Arse :lol:

Arsenal fans still having trouble dealing with the reality of being no better than an upper mid table side , and those saying be careful what you wished for with Wenger going etc . I think a lot of bleating from Arsenal fans this season and maybe Artefacts gone by November .Lampard surely does not warrant a job of that status though , maybe Barnet or something ........NOT Arsenal .

So Brentford won yesterday, Watford 2-0 up against Villa and if Norwich defeats L’Pool, Leeds will have their work cut out.

You would really prefer to see a couple of obvious candidates for relegation early each season so you are less likely to be a candidate yourself!

May not be so clear this year, especially compared to last season.

It could be worse than being a Leeds fan today as Villa having spent much of the £100m Grealish money on three new signings are getting battered by new boys Watford 3-1

Yeah, and Palace are getting walloped by Chelsea, I never thought Vieira and Dean Smith would manage to put a smile on my face :lol:

Amazing that Villa could top our abject performance today, must be because JT's moved on?
