Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger isn't overly concerned over their falling attendances. The Gunners defeated Bolton Wanderers yesterday in front of a smaller than average crowd.

Wenger told arsenal.com: "It is linked with a combination of two things. First of all we had disappointing results recently and the second factor is that we are going towards a huge financial crisis which has been already in the society. We will be hit much more and I think football suffers from the consequences as well.

"You can look at all the clubs in England and the Premier League seats go slower and slower out. The stadiums will be less quickly full and we have noticed that already. We are maybe a special case because we had disappointing results but the other clubs had the same problem."
