Thanks for the 'heads up' on the freebie biveusaB, that's me sorted for tonight.
Peter Loo - Sky 1 is free, assuming you have access to Sky 1 of course!
Big night for Brentford - I know our first taste of the Prem was away at Stoke, but this one brings back memories of the anticipation of our first home game under the lights against Man U.

I’m on the fence with preferring a result here. If they get off to a flier, I’d be delighted for them but I’d rather they got thumped
Putting myself in their place, it would be nice for a fairytale start to their time in the Prem.

I'm expecting Ivan Toney to surprise a few people (on this message board anyway) and have a decent debut season and score a few goals.

Nothing against Brentford, and I generally enjoy every Arsenal loss - however, I hope Brentford get a very rude awakening of an entrance to the big league tonight.
We could do with the three promoted teams getting off to bad starts and thoroughly rooted in the mire from the off, as always.

Brentford were a very attacking side last season so looking forward in anticipation as to how much they will change their style in the PL .
Expect Arsenal to be their usual boring self under Arteta , ten passes when a couple will do

Why anybody would want a Brentford win is beyond me, I don't often say this, but c'mon the Gunners.
Brentford: Raya, Ajer, Jansson, Pinnock, Henry, Janelt, Onyeka, Mbeumo, Norgaard, Canos, Toney. Subs: Goode, Forss, Wissa, Gunnarsson, Ghoddos, Dervisoglu, Bidstrup, Sorensen, Roerslev.
Arsenal: Leno, Chambers, White, Pablo Mari, Tierney, Sambi Lokonga, Xhaka, Pepe, Smith-Rowe, Martinelli, Balogun. Subs: Bellerin, Saka, Maitland-Niles, Holding, Cedric, Tavares, Nelson, Elneny, Hein.
And it's the Arsenal team which raises eyebrows, no Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang or Alexandre Lacazette.
AMN on the bench, so I wouldn't assume he's going anywhere in this window.

Brentford had a policy of diving for award last season so I will be watching that part of their game closely

Nearest Premier League to where I live. Couple of friends will be there. I'm happy with a Brentford win.
Always remember an exciting night at Griifin Park - just before we signed Tarks.

Decent start by Brentford, and they don't look overawed by the occasion. little goalmouth action to mention so far.

We don't need to rely on anyone else as long as we get 36 points. That's all that matters.

Why would any Burnley fan want Brentford to win? Arsenal won’t be scraping round bottom of league. Brentford most probably will be.

Well! they were twice last season, hence why we took 4 points off them, my worry is that Arteta will be out the door before we meet them.
Arsenal are bobbins tonight, and if anything they've got even worse since last season.
Not good for us if Brentford put 3 points on the board this early in the campaign, we need Arsenal to wake the f**k up.

TBF, you seem to be happy that some teams (3 will do) will be worse than us.
Some of us would rather we are better than as many as possible.
There is a difference.
Personally, I'd love Brentford to win tonight if only to kick those arrogant Arsenal fans up the jacksy

Burnley will be fine, whatever Brentford do.
Have you forgotten Burnley's first home game in the Premier League? We beat ManU 1-0. We started the following season in Championship.

Couldn’t care less who wins, if we don't do enough for ourselves then we won't deserve to stay up.
I just find it hard to believe that in spite of getting rid of Wenger, they still play tippy tippy football, and create sod all. After all these years they don't appear to have learnt anything. It's no surprise they haven't won a title for 17 years.

I haven’t a clue about the rules surrounding var but why wasn’t the build up to the goal looked it as to whether the ball was out before they scored.
