Thought I'd start with the news that Patrick Vieira is now the Palace manager (hardly news tbh as was leaked a few days ago )

Hell of a player , hope he does well there , quite like Palace tbh

Just nice to have a proper atmosphere back at games. Fake crowd noise just doesn't compare.

Arsenal are shocking, wonder how much patience their fans will have with Arteta (edit: got a few key players out mind you...)

Can see Brentford doing what Sheffield United did season before last and stay up comfortably. Don't think they're a bad side.

Bees are buzzing.

Imagine, first game in your new stadium, first game in the PL, first game in the top tier for 75 years and you’re beating the biggest team in your city in which you’ve been a minnow for years.

They've looked very good going forward. Arsenal poor though.

No doubt Talksport will now be overrun by some rather irate ranting Arsenal fans blethering on about the state of their club.....

Glad to have Toney in my fantasy team, disappointed he hasn't grabbed a few himself

Well, Piers. Maybe you should've stuck with Arsene after all...

'You've all heard of Brentford now' the commentary went at the end. Yeah, because nothing exists outside of the self-proclaimed greatest league in the world

Played some great football and it definitely wasn’t a lucky victory.

Arsenal were all over the shop, although Tierney is some player.

Brentford were 10/3 before kick off as well! Hindsight and all that….

Great result for Brentford and fully deserved, Arsenal were pretty poor and only Smith-Rowe and Tierney come out with any credit, what a waste of money Pepe has been. It was nice to see Saka receive a standing ovation.

The president of Rwanda has posted this on Twitter.
Seem to remember issue with the Visit Rwanda Arsenal shirt sleeve sponsorship as the money came from the British Overseas Aid budget!

Kagame wrote on Twitter: “What?? It’s football, it’s a loss of Arsenal at/to Brentford. Brentford deserved to win and they did.

“The game itself aside Arsenal and the fans don’t deserve to kind of get used to this….NO !!!

Leeds with ‘Sancho and Rashford, let their country down”.

To be expected. And actually quite catchy.

It's amazing to think the fear teams used to have before going to Old Trafford. They were beaten before a ball was kicked.

Just another ground now.

Still the biggest club in the country in my mind, though perhaps I'm being clouded by my youth

easily the biggest

Man City are weird, they seem to have shrunk, getting 35k in the third division but now thousands of empty seats for premier league games. Prices maybe, dunno

Man Utd definitely the biggest in the country. One of the biggest in the world

Just looked at the Brighton team and they need to spend some of that White cash quickly or they could be in real trouble.

not sure what it is as it hasn’t really sunk in, they mentioned it on sky and I did a double take…

De Bruyne, Rodri, Walker, Stones, Jesus, Silva, Laporte, Steffen, Zinchenko

that substitutes bench alone could beat most championship starting 11s I reckon

have they actually got decent value for money though? Must be the football version of diminishing returns, no other team should be able to get anywhere near them, the talent they have everywhere is ridiculous.
