Arsenal have won both their other Europa League games at home as well, what makes this result so interesting?

The two thousand fans might have altered the dynamic in the ground but iArsenal should have won this game, which they did.

With more people now going to shops in all areas and pubs intier two areas if cases start to rise then these supporters could be gone again.

On the whole, the home advantage appears to have been lost with the supporters, but given that you highlight two games, I think you know what my point was.

Home advantage definitely isn’t what it was, but I don’t see the relevance with this game. Arsenal are in a group with weak European opposition and have won every home game in the competition regardless of whether there have been fans in or not.

60k arsenal fans don't really impact the game. Don't think we'll see 2k suddenly spurring them up the premier League table

The cardboard cut outs make a better atmosphere than the fans at Arsenal.

Because the players are going to be told in no uncertain terms how it is. It's not their club. They just rob a wage from us for a few years. Spineless idiots.

Not sure what point you are making. Are you saying the players don’t want to take the knee and are being told they have to?

Interesting subject.
I have noticed recently that in some of our away games the players didn’t do the knee thing.
It didn’t happen at Hull and that is what reminded me.

Now we know what Axholme was on about:

"Millwall fans boo teams taking knee in first game back"
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55111474 (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55111474)

If that's something they're proud of, which at least some Millwall fans clearly are, then it sums up that club. I wonder what players like Mahlon Romeo and Kenneth Zohore make of their own fans essentially saying they disagree with the fight against racism?

Anyway...more disappointing than surprising.

That’s the most Millwall thing I’ve ever seen.

 Sky are pushing this, what with sacking the white male 50 something commentators. BBC also are for equality. As long as it doesn’t make the boardroom that is.
