Arsenal are currently playing their must-win Premier League match with Sunderland at the Emirates, but it looks as though most of their supporters weren’t aware of the fixture.
The Gunners’ are under severe pressure to take all three points from the already-relegated Black Cats in order to keep alive their slim hopes of finishing in the top-four.

But their five star stadium looked close to being empty by the time kick-off came around, leading to Arsene Wenger’s side being brutally trolled on social media.
The club will no doubt circulate the ‘official’ attendance which includes season ticket holders who haven’t attended, but there absolutely no hiding the paltry crowd:

What do you think of the sparse attendance? Is this finally a clear sign that supporters are well and truly fed up of their under-performing team?
And will the crowd send a clear enough message to the club’s money men?
