The club's website indicated that the match was sold out, even though there were  many seats vacant.

The turnout also underlined the discontent some fans have with those running the north London club.

In response to the empty seats, Sky Sports pundit Neville said: "Must be -4 and snowing again at the Emirates [sic]."

Unlike the Gunners game with Manchester City last week, bad weather was not a key factor in the absences.
