Excellent performance, Mkhitaryan was outstanding. Hopefully Koscielny's injury is simply a knock and nothing too serious.
Can anyone explain why 60,000 tickets were sold, but only about 40,000 (a guesstimate) turned up?
Looking forward to the weekend match, a win would be awesome. The next 4 matches are so important, successful results and we could solidify a top four place and enter the last 8 of the Europa League.

We've played a lot of games lately and with traveling expenses it's not a cheap night out plus there is time factor during the week the week too when for many people it's work or football and sometimes needs must.

Yes Gunner, I would understand the cost etc, if tickets hadn't already been purchased. Once tickets which are extremely expensive are bought, I fail to see why these ticket holders choose not to attend, and fail to sell tickets or give them to friends or family. It isn't simply a few, but as many as 20,000 unused tickets. This practice seems to be fairly common place at the club. Is it apathy in the modern world.

Is it not quite hard to sell your ticket on? Or even gift it? It should be easy to give to a friend if you can't go and then it should be leave your seat empty too many times and lose it. Plenty of people who want it and would use it.

It's a expensive business being an Arsenal season ticket holder and a great many season ticket holders live well outside London making midweek matches less easy to attend.
Perhaps they don't know until late whether they can or can't make that night.
When I've traveled down on the train to games lots of fans have children with them so again with school etc mid week can make it difficult if your not getting home till close to midnight.
The thing that does shock me is how many people attend for an hour then no matter what the score winning losing drawing they leave, I appreciate they may have stuff to do places to be etc but wouldn't it be better to watch the whole match at home than just the first hour in the stadium, to each their own but I find the early leavers more difficult to understand than the non attenders.
