Brentford, new stadium with 20,000 capacity at a club with little history, loving their rise (been to Griffin Park) v massive club with huge history buiding 58,000 stadium. Different cheese.

We might have a brilliant stadium on the way but that’s our only positive prospect at this point and isn’t really a good enough reason to take the wheel in the middle of a car crash.

Zoo 2.0 Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Take away the Arsenal badge and that's a team who's entering a nailed on relegation scrap. They just look totally shite and as I put on Twitter, it's not as though they can just sack Arteta and make things better - their squad is just so poor. Chelsea & City next, 0 points and bottom as the transfer window closes. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunlopp9987 Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Watching Frank's post-match interview. I think....I think I'm in love. What I would give to have this guy in charge here. Humble but confident, immense passion, clearly is beloved by the fans and has a great relationship with them. Zoo 2.0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had that with Martinez he lived and breathed the club 100%, he loved Everton and everyone and thing associated with it, but sadly for him that wasn’t enough.

Bailey Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Speaking of Martinez, that Arsenal performance was a bit like that. Dominated the ball, played themselves into some nice positions but ultimately scared to play the pass or not good enough to make the pass or finish the chance and soft as you like at the back. Brentford were just able to bully them when they needed to. White and Mari were shocking and Dom will be licking his lips after watching this. Mari is very slow and White is weak. Smith-Rowe, Tierney and Xhaka stood out for me but the rest of that starting 11 had so little about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coupled with it being the first game of the season and a full house, United will come back down to earth. But my god did they play some beautiful football today.

Zoo 2.0 Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Newcastle 2-1 up to West Ham at half time but are now just five minutes away from losing 4-2. I don't think that they will go down, but it's only because there will be three teams worse than them - I don't see any real identity and a heavy reliance on individuality. Elsewhere, Harry Kane has been left out of the Spurs squad due to a "lack of fitness", Jack Grealish however gets his first start for City.

MikeO Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Karen Carney getting her left and right mixed up....I think. "I still don't know why they keep going down the right hand side of Spurs. Hojbjerg and Skipp are going across and Tanganga is there. It's a cul-de-sac and City then have to come back. I don't know why they're not giving it to Mahrez on the right hand side. City could definitely catch them because Spurs are so overly committed to defending their left-hand side. Jack Grealish has now come out to the right-hand side, he should've done that a long time ago." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunlopp9987 Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Well, did not expect that result. Fair play to Spurs. I think having fans back is going to make a massive difference this season. Home teams likely going to win a fair bit more than last year. Also, not one draw in matchweek 1.
