[Offside]

If Ipswich lose today it’s going to look like a long season for them.

 

[RedRocket9908]

Arsenal have started well, I wonder if Brighton havent fully recovered from their cup final and celebrations last Saturday.

 

[didz]

Great pass from Odegaard there. Scholes-esque.

 

[Massive Spanner]

Arsenal are very good. Can see them getting 90+ points this season, and still finishing second.

 

[Ayoba]

Liquid football from Arsenal

 

[Chipper]

Saka menacing them so far.

 

[ForeverRed1]

I really do think Arsenal will win the league this year. I’m calling it.

 

[pcaming]

Watching arsenal is depressing, constant threat, controlled possession, and solid defensively.

 

[Smacky The Frog]

This Brighton left-back looks clueless.

 

[flameinthesun]

Saka menacing them so far.

Next summer we need to upgrade our wings. Pool, city and Arsenal all have wingers that are miles ahead of ours.

 

[Ayoba]

Watching arsenal is depressing, constant threat, controlled possession, and solid defensively.

Aye

 

[Smacky The Frog]

Lovely play by Arsenal. Brighton looking very ordinary right now.

 

[didz]

Saka menacing them so far.

Genuinely seems to get better every game. I can't think of a player whose progression has been so linear.

 

[Chipper]

This Brighton left-back looks clueless.

Normally a right back to be fair (I think). Estupinan on the bench following injury, signed that turkish lad in the week.

 

[saik]

Lovely play by Arsenal. Brighton looking very ordinary right now.

They have been ordinary against us as well.

 

[FortunaUtd]

That oh so great Arsenal chance would have been offside, but the commentators don't seem to have spotted it

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

Next summer we need to upgrade our wings. Pool, city and Arsenal all have wingers that are miles ahead of ours.

I hope we go all out for Nico Williams, looks an absolute baller!

 

[Ayoba]

Merino is so distraught that odegard is injured, his gf has to hold his hand

 

[2 man midfield]

The one week I don’t back skybets shot on target boost because I always lose, and Saka has had 2 already…

 

[Smacky The Frog]

They have been ordinary against us as well.

Yeah, it's still early and they might amass more points in the end, but this Brighton looks nowhere near as organized and fluid and confident on the ball as the De Zerbi and Potter iterations.

 

[didz]

They have been ordinary against us as well.

I didn't think they were great against Everton either before the sending off. Gives me hope they'll deliver another sucker punch here!

 

[DJ Jeff]

Fletcher is the most annoying prick ever. Who the feck cares who's texting McCoist

 

[erikcred]

Genuinely seems to get better every game. I can't think of a player whose progression has been so linear.

Rashford

 

[DJ_21]

dull game so far between Arsenal and Brighton

 

[The Boy]

Brighton looking alot better now after a slow start

 

[saik]

Yeah, it's still early and they might amass more points in the end, but this Brighton looks nowhere near as organized and fluid and confident on the ball as the De Zerbi and Potter iterations.

I'm interested to see how all their new signings settle in. They've spent an awful lot of money this summer. Surely the expectation should be to challenge for a European spot? That's a lot of pressure on a young and new manager who's never worked in a top league before.

Also didn't they get rid of de Zerbi because he wanted the club to be more ambitious? Surely they could have reached an understanding if they promised all these signings for him.

 

[Chicharo]

That would've been a great assist from Havertz to Mitoma...

 

[The_Midfielder]

I hope we go all out for Nico Williams, looks an absolute baller!

Mitoma too

 

[Blood Mage]

This Brighton team is all energy but little quality. It does not bode well for our season that we let them beat us last week.

 

[saik]

Arsenal really do milk every little challenge made against them.

 

[acnumber9]

Saka is the biggest cheat in the league. Taken over from Kane nicely.

 

[The Boy]

This Brighton team is all energy but little quality. It does not bode well for our season that we let them beat us last week.

There's alot of very young players and they're still getting used to the new manager, I think we'll improve as the season goes on.

 

[Drainy]

This Brighton team is all energy but little quality. It does not bode well for our season that we let them beat us last week.

They are playing away at the second best team in the league. Settle down

 

[bosskeano]

Arsenal are a bunch of diving cvnts.....Arteta and his demeanor has clearly rubbed off on the players b/c they fecking whine about every time they are touched or bullied physically

 

[Rasmus_9]

This Brighton team is all energy but little quality. It does not bode well for our season that we let them beat us last week.

They scored six goals in their first town games so I think they have plenty of quality

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

These Arsenal players go down so easily.

Brighton settled now after a tricky start.

 

[Gabriel Djemba-Bebe]

PL refs have no common sense. Why stop the game there when you clearly saw he didn't pick up a serious head injury?

This again. It would be refreshing to see one referee just play on when a player is down on the floor holding his head after his neck was brushed. It would encourage more refs to do it.

 

[AltiUn]

They are playing away at the second best team in the league. Settle down

And we were the world's unluckiest offside away from beating them anyway

 

[bosskeano]

This Brighton team is all energy but little quality. It does not bode well for our season that we let them beat us last week.

don't agree with that at all....they actually play some intricate football at times which is lovely to watch
