Back safe at my brothers in Woking after a VARy interesting game. At least Rochdale did better than United for the first 45 minutes. Swamped in the second half though.

It was bloody freezing but we enjoyed ourselves. Hopefully I will be back at Wembley in a few weeks following my other team.😇

Three layers, but a very heavy duty coat, but I am a Northerner. :)
Question is do I return north this lunchtime as planned.

Heavy snow overnight here in Surrey but nothing like as bad as it is at home in Shaw, Oldham.

This is CCTV from my home cameras just now. :(

You might need a snowmobile to get through that Jim.:)

The end is nigh for Arsene l fear as Man City pile the pressure on their beleaguered manager again tonight.

City must feel like they are playing at home with all the empty seats, TBH this turnout is far worse than most at the Emptyedd. :(

Yes there certainly are quite a few empty seats and there will be even more if Arsenal continue down this current path.

Some bare faced liars employed by Arsenal as well, quoting the attendance as 58,420, what a load of cobblers.:(

Aside from the weather the transport on Greater Anglia, the overhead out of North London, has been cancelling trains all day. It's worse than it was yesterday. The decision to go ahead with the game was clearly made by the tv companies.

And yet the away section was packed, ;) I was at Wembley yesterday and it snowed far more than it did tonight.

Still doesn't explain how they can claim 58,420 attendance when the commentators said it looked more ike 28,000

It was but the away fans are always the most dedicated, the equivalent Arsenal fans would have been at home too.

Obviously the feeling around the club is quite bad at the moment which played into it but it wouldn't have been that low without the weather issues. Greater Anglia and TFL Overground heading north were running yesterday and today they're running a reduced service. In the end people can get home but it would have took longer and be less reliable so clearly many skipped a game they knew we would lose, that would be below freezing conditions and take them an age to get home.

Arsenal always announce who brought tickets, not the attendance, clearly because the latter makes it look bad.

Nothing like massaging statistics to make it look far better then it really is..

Doesn't the reported attendance figure usually include the 'season ticket' sales . . whether they were there or not?

l am not sure but l have always classed a attendance figure based on how many come through the turnstiles.
