Teams coming out now on the rubbish plastic pitch at Sutton. Sutton manager trying to gee up the crowd. Get stuffed!
Arsene Wenger looks tired. “We can only repair what happened against Bayern, against Bayern,” he says when asked if this game can be some sort of redemption for what happened in Munich.
Sutton captain Jamie Collins gives Arsenal skipper Theo Walcott (!) a pennant. Walcott gives Collins...nothing. And we're away at Sutton!
Arsenal knocking the ball about early on just to get a feel for the artificial surface. A few yellow balloons on the turf won't help matters.
Afternoon Bob
I am here for the match
What about the draw for the next round?!?!?!
Theo is in on goal early doors but he's flagged offside.
Afternoon, UWS! Cracking draw for the next round - wow! Sutton and Hargreaves certainly did the bizness.
Great video of the Sutton manager taking a swig out of the jug!!
Could have a guaranteed non league team in the semi finals OR we could have Chelsea/Man U, Man City, Spurs and Arsenal!!!
Fox sucking it up again...losing audio!
In the EL, they have the blokes in the studio in LA doing the commentary
There is no way Arsenal should be playing any kind of weakened side
They don't play for two weeks!!
I've got the Fox Soccer 2 Go going on my computer at work - great link!
I agree with you about the XI selection from Wenger - he doesn't get it.
It's all a bit casual so far. I wanted an Arsenal goal or two by now.
Resting them for what!!!
No midweek game
No weekend game next weekend
Their next match is the late one on Saturday March 4
Quite a few of these Arsenal players seem to be wearing proper football boots. That's got to be wrong on this surface, right?
Of course, I want Sutton
El Neny picks his spot - unfortunately that was a bus stop out on the High Road.
Of course you do - and I want Arsenal to beat them like a rented mule. 25-0 please.
Big shout for a penalty. Total dive. Bloke should be yellow carded.
Arsenal try and be too fancy... bloke hits the road outside
Sutton want a pen...never
How did United look yesterday.
They didn't sound too good listening to them driving home from Philly yesterday
Arsenal toying with Sutton now - but no penetration at all!
They had a professional outing. Went behind but never lost their nerve. Real bit of quality from Pogs and Zlatan for the winner. Need an easy chance and he stuck it away with impudence. He is lazy but he comes up trumps again and again for you lot.
Think we have a shot at the Bridge in the Quarters?
20 minutes... Arsenal not done much
This should have been the Battle of the Dahlgren Brothers
Xhaka picks up a yellow card, as usual, for a cynical tug. He is a chippy bastard, isn't he?
I think so - you'd be doing every footie fan in Britain a favor by knocking Chelski out of the Cup.
GOAL! Wahay! Lucas sweeps home the opener. Keeper was unsighted by the run by Theo.
0-1 Gunners!
One nil
A shot as the keeper was deceived from run of wallcott
Should have been 0-2 there. Bloke slipped on the rubbish plastic pitch.
Sutton fans yellow "Who are you?" at the Arsenal players now.
Uh....they're the side beating you presently. Might want to save those jeers for the unlikely situation in which Sutton were to turn this around.
You really don't want a giant killing tonight, do you?
El Neny's down getting treatment now. The Ox is warming up just in case.
Not one bit - they should be punished badly for doing the naughties.
What have they done exactly?
Uh...knocked us out of the Cup! You're right - this should have been a Dahlgren Feud.
Well...they did do that
A temporary stand was built for the prawn sandwich crowd among the Arsenal supporters - crikey!
Yes. They did. Grrrr!
Totally Monk's fault there
Put in a kids side out to face them.... scandalous!
Not Sutton's fault... men against boys
Adelaide gets booked for tugging back his man. More cynicism from the Arsenal.
All the quarters are one offs...no replays from this season onwards... wonder if they are all going to be played at a different time
Iwobi with a useless effort
I agree - Gary didn't understand that a big Cup win and a nice run could be a morale booster. Going out to Sutton was the opposite. he just saw it as a distraction.
Just wide by Iwobi - corner. Cleared out.
Still scoreless at St James' Park with Villa being the guests
Why can't Theo use his left foot!?
That would be a useful result for us.
Sutton with a big chance there... Ospina with an atrocious pass
Ospina trying to give Sutton a chance.
Cuz modern players stink
Really disappointed by Arsenal's display here - they're acting like Sutton are Man City or something.
The Toon just took the lead
I agree. How can a professional player have a full career without being able to use both feet?
Not good. Boo!
Half time
Arsenal half way there
Half-time. Arsenal go in 0-1 up. Rubbish.
Love having this whole week off
I'll be able to watch United's second leg in France at Noon on Saturday
I won't be able to watch the League Cup Final on Saturday because it being on BEIN...hopefully I will be able to find a link
Players coming back out on the crap pitch at Sutton United now. I hope that the floodgates open up soon.
Are you working on any projects this week?
And we are off for the second half
The Ox coming on for the Arsenal at the start of the second half. El Neny came off.
Holding tries to chip Ospina. Arsenal really trying their best to let Sutton back into this one.
The Ox is showing a nice understanding with Theo - could bear fruit.
Two nil Gunners
GOAL! Theo gets his ton, stroking home an easy goal.
Gunners 0-2 up!
Arsenal now almost certainly guaranteed a semi-final berth.
ooh Sutton went close twice
Arsenal should really have this one done and dusted at this point.
Oh - off the bar from Deacon!!!
Arsenal have fallen asleep so much that it could easily be Desmond here. Do they really want to have to deal with a replay at the Emirates?
Oh - The Ox should have laid that on a plate for Theo's brace.
Sutton fans have fired off some flares now. They should be banned!
I'm off home in a minute or so, mate. Nice chatting with you!
Take care Bob
This is done and dusted anyway
COME ON. LINCOLN
