Love Arsenal's mentality. Woeful for 15 years now.
They’ve only had the 30 transfer windows to establish a quality, competitive team.

Can't take too much from this game, the occasion, the new stadium, was always going to be special. Brentford deserve the win, their pressing game unnerved Arsenal and they've done their homework and capitalised. Will Brentford keep it up for the season, who knows, but you can't take anything away from them, they look unfazed by it all. Strength of depth might be an issue, they've just lost Ajer.
As to those having a bit of a crow at White, the kid was superb for us, he's a cracking talent, but now playing in a team where expectations and pressure are at a whole new level than they were at Brighton. He'll be fine, I'm sure of it, though I'll admit I was surprised to see him at centre back in a flat four. I'd take him back in a heart beat.
He's gone from having Dunk, Webster and Veltman around him to Pablo Mari and Callum Chambers
On the other hand maybe no one will want to sign our players now !!! Great.It's fun to think we got one over Arsenal with the White deal, but will other suitors be so willing to pay so much for one of our players in the future if Ben doesn't make a success of it? I think we need Ben to succeed (even if we don't want Arsenal to - one of those looking good in a poor team situations maybe).
AFTV is fun. Been watching for the last 15-20 mins. Some new guy is saying "Wenger" a lot and I know that's how it's spelt, but I'm so used to hearing people pronounce it "Venger" (or properly, if you will).
Scenes. Just brilliant to see a full ground rocking.
Hats off to Brentford, a wonderful night for them.
AFTV time!
