The fact that they announce it as "attendance" (ie. the number of people present) is just a downright lie though. They should announce it as "tickets sold" and then be made to face questions as to why those with tickets are not interested in showing up.mcdowell42 wrote:donaldo wrote:How the fuck do the club get away with saying there was 60,000 today.Thousands of empty seats.Gazidis you lyingfranksav63 wrote:I wonder what the crowd will be... there's stacks and stacks of tickets left for this!!

I'd love it if we actually had people not turn up for this.franksav63 wrote:I wonder what the crowd will be... there's stacks and stacks of tickets left for this!!
I didn't see the Man City game today as I fell asleep

Anyone have an idea of the actual attendance?

Re: SWANSEA FA CUP
Tbh the club give a fuck about how much revenue they generate and not the atmosphere or fan's satisfaction, truth is unless it's half-empty they're happy as long as it's sold out.Dan_85 wrote:The fact that they announce it as "attendance" (ie. the number of people present) is just a downright lie though.

Imagine losing to Swansea in front of <50,000 people on Wednesday night, and when Michu breaks through to make it 2-0 the sound of seats springing back echoing around the ground amidst the booing.
Screw. Turning.

Re: SWANSEA FA CUP
This is a real 'save our season' game, lose this and we are well shafted.
Let's just hope we have Michu bought by then

Re: SWANSEA FA CUP
Swansea brimming with confidence and a boss with a tactical brain versus The Arsenal..low on confidence and with a loony as boss
my cash is on The Swans 


Re: SWANSEA FA CUP
I'd have fancied us for this before Arteta's injury. Michu will be completely unmarked now and will likely have the ponderous Abou to 'deal' with.
3-1 Away win
3-1 Away win

Re: SWANSEA FA CUP
Yep Michu is coming to get us in the only Competition we have any chance of winning
Re: SWANSEA FA CUP
Laudrup will make plenty of changes for this one what with their game against Chelsea next week.
We'll probably win this and Wenger will give us the usual crap about how the mental strength got his boys through after being harshly done by against City.
However if we were to lose aginst a Swansea reserve side........................................

You know the Board are shitting their pants when they start advertising tickets for the game in papers.
Score? 2-1

Re: SWANSEA FA CUP
Even if we do get through we're just going to be cannon fodder for someone in the later rounds. It alL seems so utterly, utterly pointless. I'm in a bad dream and I can't wake up!!

It's snowing again. Game will be called off.
I do actually expect us to lose this match. I don't want us to lose, but all the same, I do expect us to.

Don't worry Lefty. You'll get the floods when it thaws out mate.

Re: SWANSEA FA CUP
Bloody hell - cheer me up why don't you? This is the only game I give a flying fuck about. Dreading just about every league game between now and the end of the season, have no fucking interest whatsoever in that awful European thing we can't win and know that we won't have a new signing worthy of the name to look forward to.Top Londoner wrote:It's snowing again.

I think 16th January even by our declining standards is the earliest at which I've completely written off a season
