‘What’s the refund policy on season tickets?’: Arsenal fans FUME after ‘atrocious’ and ’embarrassing’ performance in opening-night Brentford defeat as they insist they’re ALREADY out of the top-four race
Arsenal fans expressed their fury online after a highly underwhelming performance in their 2-0 opening night defeat against Brentford on Friday.
Thomas Frank’s newly promoted side were heavy underdogs but came out on top thanks to goals from Sergi Canos and Christian Norgaard.
Arsenal enjoyed much of the possession but once again defensive frailties saw them concede in both halves against the Bees, despite a debut for £50million centre back Ben White.

Fans took to social media to air their anger with boss Mikel Arteta and the poor performance
And angry supporters took to social media to vent their frustrations about the performance and result in what was the club’s first Premier League game of the new campaign.
One questioned the refund policy on season tickets and another stated the Gunners’ hopes of qualifying for the Champions League by finishing in the top four are already over.
A third simply said: ‘Absolute embarrassment. Atrocious,’ while a fourth joked that fans would now be complaining to owner Stan Kroenke in the wake of the disappointing defeat.

Some Chelsea fans also waded into the debate and were quick to mock their London rivals after the loss.
One said: ‘If I were an arsenal fan, and I nailed my season ticket to a tree, I’d be more worried for someone stealing the nail.’
Another urged them to boycott Arsenal games, cancel season tickets and avoid buying merchandise until Arteta and Kroenke were sacked.

Arsenal and Arteta have plenty to ponder before two tricky games against Chelsea and Manchester City. The Spaniard said: ‘We are really disappointed the way we started the season. Were they soft goals? Yes.
‘I don’t want to use excuses. We had a team out there good enough to achieve a different result.
‘We know we have to improve. We have big games coming up and we need a different performance to get a better result.’
