    Arsenal fans deserve this for wanting wenger gone.

    Have been awful since then.

    Arteta got the job for being mates with guardiola, another manager would have been gone long before now.

    Great performance, but that lap of honour at the end was cringy.

    Re: Brentford vs Arsenal

    Any other club would see it as first game of the season when two senior strikers are unable to start and allow some patience to issues going forward - the main concern being how soft the second goal was and how bad Arteta's record when losing at half-time is.

    But this is Arsenal. Exaggerated frustration gets their fans attention on social media and some of them make money from that.

    Absolutely. Weak and ineffective in both boxes. When are they gonna get some steel some where on the pitch. Granite Xhaka; more like icing sugar ☺️

    The Arsenal fans have got their wish.
    Wenger long gone, 891 sheets for an Emirates season ticket and the prospect of watching more of that shite.

    Has the old adage "be careful what you wish for" been any more apt?

    The Brentford celebrations brought back some great memories of our 3-2 win over would be champions Man City eight years ago.
    I think that Brentford might do a little better than us though and avoid the drop.

    Granit is a rock for his national side, including at the recent euros. Doesn’t look the same player for Arsenal.

    Yes he was class his country in the Euros but same old shite for the Gooners. With such a young bunch he should be one of the key leaders but missing in action tonight.

    If arteta hadn’t put the comes out for guardiola there is no way he’d be in this job in the first place. They’re just getting worse

    If he hadn't done well as a senior player at Arsenal, if Gaurdiola hadn't praised him endlessly for the work he did at Man City and then if hadn't put in a good interview...

    He won 2 FA Cups at Arsenal and Guardiola praised him for being good at putting the cones out for training. Seems mad that he deserved to be interviewed for one of the top 5 biggest jobs in British football.

    Really pleased for Ethan Pinnock, played in the same FGR side as Kieffer Moore, he looked good then in non-league and he looks the part now in the PL, the Defensive equivalent of Jamie Vardy.

    First game, first win in the Premier League and the first game with a full house of fans, well done to them, lap it up.

    Re: Brentford vs Arsenal

    Let's face it, if you're a Brentford or, say, a Brighton and Bournemouth playing your first ever Premier League game, Arsenal at home is a superb fixture to start with because you're, allegedly, playing a so called big club and so there's no great fall out if the game is lost, but there's always a very decent chance you could begin with a win against one of the "big boys". How on earth, the present day version of Arsenal were considered to be worthy of inclusion in the proposed ESL is beyond me - they would have been overwhelming favourites to finish bottom of it surely if the competition had got off the ground.

    If one player typifies the modern Arsenal it's Xhaka - he's got ability, but often gives the impression he doesn't fancy it this afternoon/evening.

    Mind you, I have some sympathy with any Arsenal player to an extent because it must be so hard playing in front of that bunch of supporters. Pre Wenger, the good Arsenal sides I saw were built on solid defence first and foremost, hence the old ~"1-0 to the Arsenal" song, but that all changed under the Frenchman and their fans now want Wenger type football, but also demand that it not be accompanied by the sort of results that typified his last few seasons in charge.

    I'm sure the Arsenal fans will already be in uproar about their club's prospects this season as the latest Wenger replacement finds the club almost impossible to manage - Arsenal fans demand the sort of season they've had maybe four or five times in their whole history every year and, thinking about it, even a repeat of the 70/71 double triumph in terms of style of play would not be considered good enough because they wouldn't be entertaining enough.

    Well done to Brentford, they were definitely the better side last night, but there are far, far tougher games for them to come.
