Arshavin says Arsenal's fans are too quiet

Andrey Arshavin believes Arsenal's fans are too quiet - and said playing at the Emirates was like a visit to the theatre.

The Russian midfielder, who quit the Gunners after four years at the end of last season, also claimed the atmosphere at the ground was so bad there was "no advantage" in playing at home.

Arshavin, 32, now back at Zenit St Petersburg, told The Sun: "It felt like the crowd was at the theatre - good seats, expensive tickets and they wanted to see a show, not to support the team.

"It was like there was no advantage in playing at home.

"Many of the players - the leaders that were left from the club's time at Highbury - often complained that the atmosphere in the stands was so bad."
