Fifth Round: Sutton United v Arsenal

:00:08. > :00:20.The scene of one of those cup shocks you never tire of seeing.

:00:21. > :00:28.Sutton United welcomed by a capacity 8000 crowd, a big day for the club.

:00:29. > :00:38.It's gone in and Rains with the goal. Phillips has put Coventry City

:00:39. > :00:42.level. Number 11, Matthew Hanlan. Sutton United of the Vauxhall

:00:43. > :00:44.Conference, beating Coventry City. Not a lot has changed here in the 28

:00:45. > :00:47.years since that memorable And tonight the Arsenal players

:00:48. > :00:52.certainly won't be used And they'll need to be wary

:00:53. > :00:56.of a team who are already writing their own chapter of FA

:00:57. > :01:05.Cup folklore. Roarie Deacon, with virtually the

:01:06. > :01:13.last kick of the match has put them into the second round of the FA Cup!

:01:14. > :01:18.The winning goal, Sutton United. Brilliantly dispatched by the

:01:19. > :01:23.skipper. 1989 all over again. Sutton United will play...

:01:24. > :01:29.An astonishing 106 places separates these two teams,

:01:30. > :01:32.it's the classic non-league minnows versus a giant of

:01:33. > :01:38.It would be the greatest FA Cup shock in history.

:01:39. > :02:07.Arsenal arrive in Sutton in the midst of a crisis,

:02:08. > :02:10.thrashed by Bayern Munich 5-1 last week in a performance Arsene Wenger

:02:11. > :02:17.After 20 years at the club, the manager says his future will be

:02:18. > :02:20.decided in the next couple of months, but he will be managing

:02:21. > :02:25.And what a banana skin they face tonight,

:02:26. > :02:27.non-league Sutton United are four divisions below the Gunners,

:02:28. > :02:33.in a relegation fight in the National league.

:02:34. > :02:35.Anything less than a win for Arsenal will surely

:02:36. > :02:41.Some 5,000 fans are packed into Gander Greeen Lane tonight -

:02:42. > :02:45.and it's fair to say it hasn't changed a great deal since that win

:02:46. > :02:51.Although it does now feature a 3G pitch, which could become a bit

:02:52. > :03:02.Good evening, welcome to Gander Green Lane. Quite a special place.

:03:03. > :03:06.Former Arsenal player Martin Keown and Alan Shearer in the studio.

:03:07. > :03:14.Alan, this is a bit different, like a throwback. We've got Sutton,

:03:15. > :03:18.Lincoln and Millwall to thank for breeding a bit of life back into the

:03:19. > :03:24.FA Cup. For the last six weeks we've sat here, in the games, saying that

:03:25. > :03:30.teams haven't taken it seriously enough, leading players out. This is

:03:31. > :03:35.what it's about tonight, a great draw already in the quarterfinals

:03:36. > :03:40.with Chelsea and Man United. Lincoln are there, could Sutton actually do

:03:41. > :03:47.it? Incredible. If they do they are guaranteed a non-league side, in the

:03:48. > :03:49.final, at Wembley. We work in the Premier League every week but

:03:50. > :03:55.nothing beats this, this could be a major giant-killing. I feel nervous

:03:56. > :04:01.sitting here as an Arsenal man. I wouldn't be nervous if I was

:04:02. > :04:07.playing. It needs to be men who are playing. Have you ever played in

:04:08. > :04:13.anything like this? Not at this level. You look at the pits, we

:04:14. > :04:19.played at Luton and QPR, I think it is a huge home advantage. They've

:04:20. > :04:24.improved since those days. Alan? I played non-league Stevenage at

:04:25. > :04:29.Newcastle, we went 1-0 up after three minutes and we thought that's

:04:30. > :04:33.it, we're here now and we can coast, but Stevenage came back and made it

:04:34. > :04:38.very difficult. That us back to Saint James 's Park and we just got

:04:39. > :04:43.through. It won't be easy for Arsenal, if they have the wrong

:04:44. > :04:49.attitude. I lost with Leicester at Harlow, I was about 18, 19, it was

:04:50. > :04:54.dreadful and you never get over it! Arsenal's players were criticised

:04:55. > :05:01.after the humiliation in Munich. Let's see what they think of Sutton.

:05:02. > :05:05.What has the preparation been like for the game? Everyone talking about

:05:06. > :05:09.the plastic pitch. We've seen you coming to Gander Green Lane and fair

:05:10. > :05:14.to say that the locals are excited. Hundreds of people, great

:05:15. > :05:21.atmosphere. We had a session in the week on the indoor Astroturf, so we

:05:22. > :05:27.have adapted to it. It is very different to the life you are used

:05:28. > :05:31.to as Arsenal players. For me I was playing on a pitch like this in

:05:32. > :05:34.preseason, so it's pretty similar to me. Last year you were playing in a

:05:35. > :05:39.Bolton team who nearly slipped up against Eastleigh. You know what

:05:40. > :05:47.football at this level can be like. Especially the FA Cup, we've seen

:05:48. > :05:50.that over the weekend. We has to -- we must concentrate on our own game

:05:51. > :05:57.and we'll be OK. Thank you for joining us. Let's have a look at the

:05:58. > :06:00.Arsenal team for tonight, seven changes but Ospina, who made a

:06:01. > :06:04.couple of good saves in Munich continues as their chosen cup

:06:05. > :06:10.keeper. Injury to Koscielny means that Holding partners with Mustafi

:06:11. > :06:18.and there are recalls for Gabriel and Monreal. The two deep

:06:19. > :06:29.midfielders, Xhaka and the need -- Elneny. There is a rare start for

:06:30. > :06:32.Lucas Perez. No Ozil or Giroud and Sanchez on the bench, Walcott is the

:06:33. > :06:38.biggest attacking threat and his next goal will be number 100 for

:06:39. > :06:43.Arsenal. They've left out a few but plenty of experienced footballers.

:06:44. > :06:46.Once you would expect to be able to cope with this level. You'd think

:06:47. > :06:50.so, there should be enough in the team, if they have the right

:06:51. > :06:56.attitude. If they go about it from the start, they should be beating a

:06:57. > :07:01.team like this. As we said, they're on a hiding to nothing, unless they

:07:02. > :07:06.score four, five goals, then I'm sure they'll be criticised tomorrow.

:07:07. > :07:11.They've got to go out and start the game with real intent. All about

:07:12. > :07:15.attitude with these. Players come if they have an excuse, like a plastic

:07:16. > :07:20.pitch, 3G, whatever you want to call it, they can take that excuse. You

:07:21. > :07:25.need personality and character, you must stand up and be counted as an

:07:26. > :07:29.Arsenal player. Lucas Perez coming in is interesting, he's got a

:07:30. > :07:34.hat-trick the last time he started. Whether he'll play down the middle

:07:35. > :07:38.or out wide, that pace on the break, when Sutton get the ball they will

:07:39. > :07:42.be heading into channels, take no risks. I've played out on this

:07:43. > :07:48.picture couple of weeks ago. You did? Doing some research, it's a

:07:49. > :07:56.great pitch to play on, PA Master of the ball. What's difficult about it?

:07:57. > :08:01.It is bouncy, take it out of the air. Don't let it bounce. Not

:08:02. > :08:08.necessarily your game! It would make me look even worse! Have you played

:08:09. > :08:11.on plastic pitches? Yes, early in my career, no excuses, they have won at

:08:12. > :08:15.the training ground so I'm sure they'll have been on that. In terms

:08:16. > :08:19.of Arsene Wenger, everyone is speculating about whether he will

:08:20. > :08:24.still be the Arsenal manager next season, what is your gut feeling? I

:08:25. > :08:28.feel that he wants to play every game as it comes, he's a fighter and

:08:29. > :08:32.he was defiant in the press Conference. You saw intelligence. It

:08:33. > :08:36.was like throwing a punch at anyone who doubted whether he would carry

:08:37. > :08:43.on. Interesting dilemma, if he left Arsenal. What do you think? I think

:08:44. > :08:47.100% he will be at the club, don't want to see him go to Barcelona.

:08:48. > :08:52.Amazed at the reaction after the game last week because what's

:08:53. > :08:55.changed? That happens to Arsenal at this time of year every year. Why

:08:56. > :09:00.are so many former players and pundits saying they think that he

:09:01. > :09:03.should go? They can still win the cup and still get in fourth

:09:04. > :09:09.position, which has been more than good enough for the last 12 years.

:09:10. > :09:16.Should it be? I think it is split with the Arsenal fans. It has been

:09:17. > :09:22.over the years for them. Two years ago they had 250,000 on the streets

:09:23. > :09:24.when they won the FA Cup. It is the man of the performers, the naivete

:09:25. > :09:31.of the performers against Bayern Munich. Has that happened before? --

:09:32. > :09:37.the naivete of the performance. Let's hear more about the sudden

:09:38. > :09:42.players, Mark went to one of their training sessions where there was a

:09:43. > :09:49.sense of excitement. -- Sutton players.

:09:50. > :09:59.Number six, Sutton United will play... We are still pinching

:10:00. > :10:03.ourselves, I think, one of those magic moments. So many of them on

:10:04. > :10:10.this cup run. The last three weeks has proved that the cup is a bit

:10:11. > :10:13.special. Collins, for Sutton, 1-0, brilliantly dispatched by the

:10:14. > :10:19.skipper. How on earth were you feeling as you stepped up? I was

:10:20. > :10:22.quite calm, I had a feeling I was going to school but when you see the

:10:23. > :10:29.ball hitting the back of the net it is a relief and the rest if his --

:10:30. > :10:32.the rest is history. The Match of the Day studio going up, did you

:10:33. > :10:36.want to give them some advice? They've got the high visibility on,

:10:37. > :10:42.it looks like they are knowing what they are doing. To be fair,

:10:43. > :10:48.scaffolding is a tough job. If you want to do it, it's up to you! Did

:10:49. > :10:57.you see the Arsenal game last night, guys? LAUGHTER

:10:58. > :11:01.Oh, you are confident! When you went for the trial at Newcastle, little

:11:02. > :11:06.bird tells me that you had a couple of nights out with Alan Shearer. I

:11:07. > :11:15.didn't have any nights out with him, I got a feudal -- few claw marks on

:11:16. > :11:18.my face. I was getting the better of him in training and he didn't like

:11:19. > :11:22.this kid from London getting the better of him. We aren't going into

:11:23. > :11:25.the game thinking there is no chance of us winning, everyone is

:11:26. > :11:31.confident. Beating Leeds was unbelievable for the fans, everyone

:11:32. > :11:37.ran onto the pitch and being able to celebrate the victory with the fans

:11:38. > :11:41.on top of you, fantastic. The changing room, stadium, the pitch,

:11:42. > :11:47.you never know. It is a little chance but still a chance, it is the

:11:48. > :11:51.FA Cup so anything can happen. Sutton began the FA Cup run back in

:11:52. > :11:56.October in the fourth qualifying round and it took a 90th minute

:11:57. > :12:02.winner to beat Forest Green Rovers in front of 751 spectators. Since

:12:03. > :12:07.then they have beaten Cheltenham, AFC Wimbledon and Championship team

:12:08. > :12:12.Leeds and made an estimated ?1 million. Their manager Paul Doswell

:12:13. > :12:16.has done well. The man himself, don't take this the

:12:17. > :12:19.wrong way but it feels like a wedding where an extra few thousand

:12:20. > :12:26.people have turned up. Does it feel like that for you? I haven't got a

:12:27. > :12:30.cake for them! It is poetry 3500 uninvited guests for the normal

:12:31. > :12:34.league games! What an atmosphere, the night game always adds to the

:12:35. > :12:40.atmosphere and looking round it is an incredible experience and I'm

:12:41. > :12:43.sure everyone will enjoy it. What do you say to your players? It's a

:12:44. > :12:46.cliche but it must be difficult for them not to be carried away when

:12:47. > :12:51.they see the Arsenal players they will be taking on. The first thing

:12:52. > :12:55.they must do is get past the Arsenal bodyguards because each player had a

:12:56. > :12:59.bodyguard, which we are used to. From our point of view we have had

:13:00. > :13:04.an easy day, some set pieces, chilling out at the Hotel, which is

:13:05. > :13:10.unusual for the players because they are normally working. The excitement

:13:11. > :13:15.has started. We've said to them, it is 11 against 11, it is 0-0 when you

:13:16. > :13:19.start. As long as you give everything you've got, every bit of

:13:20. > :13:24.you, you have a chance and we will believe in that chance until we

:13:25. > :13:31.can't. Your chances may be improved by the pitch. We have a ball here.

:13:32. > :13:33.The pitch makes a difference, Wimbledon and Leeds struggled here,

:13:34. > :13:37.Arsene Wenger told us that they've got to deal with the conditions.

:13:38. > :13:46.What does it mean from your perspective to be playing on the

:13:47. > :13:48.plastic pitch? The first thing is, Arsenal got a plastic pitch

:13:49. > :13:55.themselves so they are used to playing on the surface. As far as

:13:56. > :14:00.we're concerned, we're at home, that's our best chance to get a

:14:01. > :14:02.result, because we are at our little ground, not surrounded by

:14:03. > :14:06.bodyguards, we are surrounded by good people and players. That's what

:14:07. > :14:09.I hope, that the players can look back on it's not just as a good

:14:10. > :14:15.occasion but giving a great performance. The result, we'll see

:14:16. > :14:20.but they've got to give everything. I hope you and the players enjoyed

:14:21. > :14:24.it. Word of warning, Paul's nickname was Lauren Aker, which is apparently

:14:25. > :14:37.how they say your name in the farming community -- Lineacre. Katie

:14:38. > :14:44.is desperate, they want to come and see you, Gary, in the studio

:14:45. > :14:48.afterwards. Don't leave early, Gary! Welcomer Katie is welcome! He can

:14:49. > :14:54.stay where he is. We have Tim Vine with us, we searched everywhere for

:14:55. > :15:00.a famous Sutton fan. Yes, sorry about that! Tell us about your team.

:15:01. > :15:06.This is a small club and it's a charming... Have you looked at the

:15:07. > :15:12.clubhouse? The dressing room is remarkable. It is like a 1970s

:15:13. > :15:15.throwback. I don't want too much money to come to the club because it

:15:16. > :15:21.may change it, I like the atmosphere but the atmosphere, you are the

:15:22. > :15:30.experts but if they were to beat Arsenal, surely this would be the

:15:31. > :15:34.biggest FA Cup... I said that, a Premier League team beaten on

:15:35. > :15:39.Saturday, but this is Arsenal. It is David and Goliath. Thinking about

:15:40. > :15:44.the David and Goliath story, something that David did, it's

:15:45. > :15:49.interesting, he attacked first. While Goliath was still looking

:15:50. > :15:55.around. Before kick-off, then! Tell us about some of the star players.

:15:56. > :16:03.I'm a bit of a Johnny come lately to the side. Roarie Deacon. In the last

:16:04. > :16:08.game, did he score in the last game? I can't remember. Collins scored,

:16:09. > :16:15.didn't he. The spot kick. Against Wimbledon. He has some belting shots

:16:16. > :16:19.from outside of the area and he was unlucky not to score. I think him

:16:20. > :16:24.and Eastmond are two players, they were at Arsenal. Both of them work

:16:25. > :16:30.Eastmond played ten matches for Arsenal.

:16:31. > :16:38.Massive incentive, there is Roarie Deacon, brilliant. He looks calm to

:16:39. > :16:44.me. What chance have someone like that... Real slow mover, I like slow

:16:45. > :16:50.motion. It is amazing situation. We won't ask you to do any analysis. We

:16:51. > :16:58.will get Alan to do that. I am doing some online punditry. He usually

:16:59. > :17:01.breaks deeper midfield, as is and does. Bailey sits deep in the

:17:02. > :17:05.midfield but look at this for a goal. Fantastic turn. Full of

:17:06. > :17:09.confidence at the moment, a lot of clubs looking at him. He might be

:17:10. > :17:13.one that you are going to lose, but listen he is enjoying the run. He

:17:14. > :17:18.said he has fallen in love again with football. That is what the FA

:17:19. > :17:23.Cup has done to him. Left foot, right foot. He said when he was let

:17:24. > :17:28.go by Arsenal was the lover 's point of his life, so the incentive to

:17:29. > :17:31.show the world what he can do. Only non-league football throws up

:17:32. > :17:36.stories like this, Wayne Shaw, also looks after the flood in many ways.

:17:37. > :17:43.It is fair to say he is a big lad, but he used to play alongside Alan

:17:44. > :17:49.Shearer. At Southampton. True? Absolutely, when we were 14 or 15,

:17:50. > :17:52.there he is giving me the wave. I followed my dreams to the Premier

:17:53. > :17:57.League, he followed his to the burger van, I think! LAUGHTER

:17:58. > :18:03.I thought it was your turn out there. Lovely lad, he loved a laugh

:18:04. > :18:08.and a joke. I took penalties against him and a mate of mine last summer

:18:09. > :18:18.and I got six out of ten. Are you going to win this game? Won 2-1 to

:18:19. > :18:22.Sutton. Until the final whistle is blowed, I will just train. Let's go

:18:23. > :18:27.for it. What am I doing in the dressing room? Your twin brother is

:18:28. > :18:31.in there. Great scenes, Simon Downer will be in there, you scratched his

:18:32. > :18:36.face apparently years ago. I can't believe it, a centre-half from

:18:37. > :18:39.non-league is learning about a scratch on his face? That is what

:18:40. > :18:46.Martin Keown did in the Premier League! It is hard to find someone

:18:47. > :18:49.whose face has not been scratched by Alan. What a non-believable

:18:50. > :18:53.opportunity for these guys this evening. You could be speaking about

:18:54. > :18:58.these guys in years and years to come. Kleen this could be the

:18:59. > :19:03.YouTube clip, the go to clip. Look at this incredible victory. It could

:19:04. > :19:08.happen to that. It is a dream for them. They don't want it to end.

:19:09. > :19:11.Probably just wanted to start at the moment. Despite winning the cup

:19:12. > :19:15.twice in the last three years, pressure is mounting on the Arsenal

:19:16. > :19:18.anergy, Arsene Wenger, has 21st season in charge is falling apart

:19:19. > :19:24.after a truly dreadful couple of months. I am here for 20 years. Mike

:19:25. > :19:30.Kerr about this club. COMMENTATOR: Back-to-back defeats for Arsenal in

:19:31. > :19:36.a week. Giroud with a header, there were 3-0 down and turned it round.

:19:37. > :19:39.Arsene Wenger says Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil will not be allowed

:19:40. > :19:44.to leave Arsenal before their contracts expire. There is no

:19:45. > :19:52.concern. Arsene Wenger will miss the next four games after accepting an

:19:53. > :20:03.ethic Cup misconduct charge. It is that mental strength. Fabregas, that

:20:04. > :20:12.completes Arsenal 's misery! I get the impression that is it. 5-1 to

:20:13. > :20:15.Bayern Munich! Arsenal are being totally embarrassed, they are the

:20:16. > :20:20.laughing stock. What is important is that the club makes the right

:20:21. > :20:24.decision. Arson, there has been a bit of soul-searching over the last

:20:25. > :20:27.few days. Does this game against Sutton United in the FA Cup to view

:20:28. > :20:37.the best opportunity to get Bayern Munich out of the completion -- out

:20:38. > :20:41.of the mind? We want to focus on this competition and turned up

:20:42. > :20:45.straightaway from the start. It is very unusual circumstances and the

:20:46. > :20:50.need for focus, because it will certainly be a very committed game.

:20:51. > :20:53.With that in my new have picked a strong side, is that because you are

:20:54. > :20:58.wary of the threat that Sutton can bring? Of course was the eye have

:20:59. > :21:03.played here in England for a long time and I know that every FA Cup is

:21:04. > :21:08.difficult, every tie is difficult. So we are prepared for that. We will

:21:09. > :21:13.not be surprised. You have come through the crowd outside the fight,

:21:14. > :21:16.I'm sure you know this is a huge night for their fans. There will be

:21:17. > :21:22.5000 people here tonight. A lot of talk has been about the plastic

:21:23. > :21:26.pitch, is that a concern? No, top-level sport is to adapt to the

:21:27. > :21:30.problem you face, you know. At least the pitch is flat. We are not used

:21:31. > :21:35.to it but I believe the players have enough quality, in the warm up, to

:21:36. > :21:40.overcome the problems they will face and adapt to it is part of the magic

:21:41. > :21:44.that we are doing an interview in a room like this. This is where the

:21:45. > :21:48.reserve team goalkeeper sleeps through that a week, apparently. I

:21:49. > :21:52.have a lot of respect for that. I come from a club that are smaller

:21:53. > :21:58.even from that, and I have been educated in this kind of clubs, and

:21:59. > :22:01.usually these clubs depend on two or three people who really dedicate

:22:02. > :22:07.their whole life for it. I have a lot of respect for that. Good to

:22:08. > :22:12.hear, enjoy the game tonight. Well said, Arsene Wenger. It is stories

:22:13. > :22:17.like that better part of the magic of the FA Cup. Yes, they are, I said

:22:18. > :22:21.it is my first bit, it is a great occasion for everyone connected with

:22:22. > :22:25.this football club. I hope they can go out and enjoy it and do

:22:26. > :22:29.themselves justice. You were saying, Martin, despite the fact that

:22:30. > :22:34.Arsenal had a 3G pitch, Arsene Wenger doesn't like to practice on

:22:35. > :22:38.it. No, he doesn't think it is good for the body. That is why Welbeck is

:22:39. > :22:42.not here, he would not want to put his knees at risk on this type of

:22:43. > :22:47.occasion. They would have hardly been on it at all, but they will be

:22:48. > :22:50.prepared. The pitches they play on the Premier League are all very

:22:51. > :22:56.solid and hard. Most people are here for an upset. We saw Alan Pardew, a

:22:57. > :23:02.friend of the chairman, so he will no doubt be cheering Sutton on this

:23:03. > :23:06.evening. Just before they go out. Yes, Arsenal will win this. The

:23:07. > :23:11.mutual would love anything that Arsenal but I can't see anything

:23:12. > :23:16.other than Arsenal winning this. -- the neutral. Paul Doswell is

:23:17. > :23:20.enjoying the scene, his players will be other very shortly. Can't Sutton

:23:21. > :23:26.United become the first non-league team to reach the FA Cup

:23:27. > :23:30.quarterfinal since Saturday? Before that it was 1914.

:23:31. > :23:39.COMMENTATOR: Good evening, everyone. Look at Paul Doswell, the Sutton

:23:40. > :23:43.manager, and the beaming smile on his face. Some nervous faces in

:23:44. > :23:47.there. A nightmare few days for Arsenal. Tonight a full house of a

:23:48. > :23:54.little over 5000 who are lucky enough to get a ticket to prepare a

:23:55. > :24:03.welcome to remember. And for Sutton United it is welcome to their

:24:04. > :24:07.wildest, wildest dreams. CHEERING If football still has a place for

:24:08. > :24:11.dreamers amongst the private jets, private chefs, supercars and

:24:12. > :24:17.superstars, then Gander Green Lane in the fifth round of the FA Cup is

:24:18. > :24:22.that place. Sutton United, represented by players who once had

:24:23. > :24:26.dreams themselves of being something special, and proudly supported by

:24:27. > :24:31.fans who probably prefer ground topping the glory hunting, people

:24:32. > :24:37.for whom Costa is a coffee and Kane is a stick. But somehow Sutton

:24:38. > :24:41.United are playing Arsenal, and there is the chairman who has been a

:24:42. > :24:46.fan for over 50 years, Bruce Elliott. What a proud night for him,

:24:47. > :24:49.and congratulations to everybody, all the volunteers who have played

:24:50. > :24:53.their part in getting this game on here. Forget all the talk of 3G,

:24:54. > :25:06.this is virtual reality. So the Sutton team appropriately

:25:07. > :25:08.enough has an Arsenal fan and gold. Across the back, Captain Jamie

:25:09. > :25:12.Collins, scorer of that penalty against Leeds, in a defence

:25:13. > :25:17.including Dean Beckwith who has recovered from a hamstring. Craig

:25:18. > :25:20.Eastmond played ten games Arsenal 's first team including one in the

:25:21. > :25:24.Champions League. Roarie Deacon and other who did not quite make it at

:25:25. > :25:28.Arsenal, four goals in 16 games for their reserves though. They are

:25:29. > :25:32.semiprofessional but definitely not a bunch of butchers, bakers and

:25:33. > :25:36.candlestick makers. They have all played in the Football League, or in

:25:37. > :25:43.the case of striker Maxim Biamou, the French equivalent. And five of

:25:44. > :25:46.this Arsenal team have FA Cup winners medals in their collections.

:25:47. > :25:49.Rob Holding at the back was part of the Bolton team that almost came

:25:50. > :25:55.unstuck against Eastleigh in the cup last season. Mustafi, Monreal and

:25:56. > :26:04.Gabriel with plenty of experience around them. Xhaka will not pull out

:26:05. > :26:07.of anything, that is for sure. Jeff Reine-Adelaide describe something

:26:08. > :26:10.special by Arsene Wenger. Theo Walcott now Arsenal 's longest

:26:11. > :26:12.serving player on 99 goals for the club. He got three in the last round

:26:13. > :26:24.at Southampton. Arsene Wenger has come out fighting

:26:25. > :26:28.since Munich. Not ready to retire. May go on longer than Sir Alex

:26:29. > :26:32.Ferguson, he says, but not necessarily with Arsenal, and no

:26:33. > :26:38.manager has won the FA Cup more times than his six. That is a joint

:26:39. > :26:43.record. Arsenal do, should they require him, have the instruments

:26:44. > :26:49.policy of Alexis Sanchez -- insurance policy of Alexis Sanchez

:26:50. > :26:53.among their substitutes. What a night. Set up perfectly for a cuppa

:26:54. > :26:56.evening. The guys in the studio talking about the mentality of

:26:57. > :27:00.Arsenal, and the opening ten or 15 minutes, it will be interesting to

:27:01. > :27:03.see how Arsenal adapt to the conditions both on and off the

:27:04. > :27:06.pitch. They got here late. The dressing rooms are tiny, so

:27:07. > :27:09.everything set up to them to be unsettled. You would hope that they

:27:10. > :27:14.realised their professional pride is at stake and they put in a

:27:15. > :27:18.performance that makes people watching, at home or here at the

:27:19. > :27:20.stadium, realise why they are top-level professional footballers.

:27:21. > :27:24.For Sutton, it is a case of them playing their game, getting through

:27:25. > :27:27.the first 20 minutes and dealing with the game in blocks will stop if

:27:28. > :27:30.they stick to their game plan, they will always give themselves a

:27:31. > :27:33.chance, and if they can pick competitive in the first, as we saw

:27:34. > :27:38.with Lincoln, you just don't know what will happen at the end of the

:27:39. > :27:46.game. A little embarrassing moment for Theo Walcott who has nothing to

:27:47. > :27:50.give Jamie Collins in return for the Sutton United banner. Arsenal don't

:27:51. > :27:56.miss much, by the way, they dead after Mr Fleck that. There is Gander

:27:57. > :28:01.Green Lane, and the 3G pitch in all its glory -- don't often miss stuff

:28:02. > :28:08.like that. Suter very much used to it, Arsenal not. This is not the

:28:09. > :28:13.same surface that Arsenal have at their training ground -- Sutton very

:28:14. > :28:14.much used this and stop have a dry indoor pitch to stop this is a wet

:28:15. > :28:25.outdoor pitch. In the last three games, they have

:28:26. > :28:30.been behind inside the first six minutes. They surely can't let that

:28:31. > :28:37.happen today and get away with it. It is Arsenal who will kick off from

:28:38. > :28:43.left to right in the first 45 minutes, in the red and white

:28:44. > :28:49.shirts, in the FA Cup fifth round, with Lincoln City awaiting the

:28:50. > :28:54.winners. Sutton United all in yellow, Arsenal in red and white.

:28:55. > :29:06.Here is Gabriel. I would imagine all the Arsenal

:29:07. > :29:08.players would appreciate an early touch. As they become accustomed to

:29:09. > :29:23.their surroundings. Mustafi, the first World Cup winner

:29:24. > :29:27.to play at the stadium since Jackie Charlton, back in 1970 for Leeds

:29:28. > :29:31.United. The won here 6-0 in the cup tie.

:29:32. > :29:51.And Sutton will get their first touch of the ball in a minute. Solid

:29:52. > :29:55.possession for Arsenal at that point but Sutton doing the right thing,

:29:56. > :29:59.trying to keep compact. The defence was quite high, a couple of Arsenal

:30:00. > :30:02.runners trying to get in behind. That was a Mancho's throw, aimed

:30:03. > :30:22.towards Biamou. -- that was a Theo Walcott trying to get a behind

:30:23. > :30:27.Jamie Collins with the clearing header for Sutton United. Flag is up

:30:28. > :30:39.on the near side. It is imperative Arsenal keep making

:30:40. > :30:43.those runs in behind the Sutton backline. Decent clearance. They

:30:44. > :30:48.have got to keep their discipline, Sutton, they have to come out as a

:30:49. > :30:51.group. The two central defender is very experienced, that backline,

:30:52. > :30:55.coming out together making sure that Walcott was outside. But I imagine

:30:56. > :30:58.if they continue to use that tactic there will be a couple of tough

:30:59. > :31:03.calls for the assistant on the near side.

:31:04. > :31:09.Roarie Deacon. Can't keep the ball in play. Had a wonderful game

:31:10. > :31:19.against Leeds here. Monreal with the Arsenal throw in.

:31:20. > :31:53.They like that. Good tackle, Eastmond. He'll have

:31:54. > :31:56.enjoyed that. Bit of force in there, perfectly reasonable challenge.

:31:57. > :32:01.Elneny isn't happy about it but it was a clean tackle. Just a little

:32:02. > :32:38.bit of a follow-through with the challenge. Bailey with the header.

:32:39. > :32:51.Well pressed by May. On loan from Portsmouth, May, a teenager who is

:32:52. > :33:00.on the way up. Amankwaah's clearance, back to Gabriel.

:33:01. > :33:10.Did well, Amankwaah. Shielded the ball nicely. Vital that when Sutton

:33:11. > :33:14.get the ball, they'll have to try and keep it for a couple of passes,

:33:15. > :33:19.whether that's a couple of short ones before going long, or playing

:33:20. > :33:23.into one of the forwards. They will need to relieve the pressure. The

:33:24. > :33:28.quality of Arsenal, if they allow them to dictate possession for long

:33:29. > :33:35.periods it is going to tire out the southern players. What's Worner, the

:33:36. > :33:46.Sutton United goalkeeper with the clearance.

:33:47. > :33:52.Sutton is getting the throw in, in Arsenal territory. Bailey in

:33:53. > :33:58.midfield keeping the ball alive, not panicking. Important, the wind is

:33:59. > :34:02.blowing towards the Arsenal goal and it's important that they don't try

:34:03. > :34:08.and force the ball too much in the air. With this kind of pitch it

:34:09. > :34:20.could run out quickly. The throw in, flicked on by Collins and Help To

:34:21. > :34:26.Buy Walcott -- helped by Walcott. Winning the youth cup with Arsenal,

:34:27. > :34:30.making his debut in the cup, Eastmond. Scored an own goal against

:34:31. > :34:39.Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League. Would have been delighted

:34:40. > :34:46.with that last bit! He's still feeling that. Colliding with his own

:34:47. > :34:51.player, landing awkwardly on one of his team-mates. A bit shaken up.

:34:52. > :34:56.He's been on a bit of a tightrope for a while, Eastmond, because he

:34:57. > :34:59.was sent off in an FA Trophy match against Boreham Wood, a three match

:35:00. > :35:05.ban as a result. Had there not been a replay, he would have been

:35:06. > :35:08.suspended tonight. He sat watching the end of the game and praying that

:35:09. > :35:16.no one would win it. Important player for them as well. Walcott,

:35:17. > :35:21.that's a good turn. Down a cross to make the block. -- Downer. Sutton

:35:22. > :35:40.free kick. Well, it was dangerous. Not a huge amount in that. The

:35:41. > :35:42.referee being a bit generous. They will have to compete physically,

:35:43. > :35:56.Arsenal, that would have been made clear to them by Arsene Wenger. A

:35:57. > :36:00.case in point. Chance for Eastmond to cross. A decent one as well,

:36:01. > :36:09.Gomis was in the middle. Gabriel with him.

:36:10. > :36:23.Bailey getting a good foot in. Was Biamou caught out? -- caught? Not in

:36:24. > :36:39.the opinion of the referee. Down with the clearing header, May

:36:40. > :37:00.trying to help it on. Amankwaah on the left-hand side.

:37:01. > :37:21.Eight Sutton free kick and they have done what they didn't do in the FA

:37:22. > :37:26.Trophy replay against Boreham Wood and previous National League games,

:37:27. > :37:31.keeping a clean sheet after six minutes. Comfortable, allowing

:37:32. > :37:34.Arsenal possession in players that aren't dangerous, forcing them

:37:35. > :37:39.inside, tracking Arsenal runners and looking to keep control of

:37:40. > :37:43.possession when they've had it. Worner forward. Collins was beaten

:37:44. > :37:49.in the air. Beckwith happy to let that go. They will group up inside

:37:50. > :38:00.the Arsenal penalty area in front of the Arsenal fans behind goal. Five,

:38:01. > :38:08.six yellow shirts inside the area. That's Jamie Collins. Lucas can

:38:09. > :38:14.bring it away for Arsenal. The yellow shirts must retreat. Lucas

:38:15. > :38:22.looking square. These and all. Xhaka, good foot in.

:38:23. > :38:40.This is where Arsenal will be very dangerous, when Sutton have an

:38:41. > :38:46.attack, throwing people forward and Arsenal are so quick at creating.

:38:47. > :38:50.Quality from Monreal. Getting bodies back quickly and working hard to get

:38:51. > :39:01.into position. So much with on either flank from Arsenal. -- width

:39:02. > :39:09.on either flank. no great threat from Arsenal yet.

:39:10. > :39:17.This is arguably the toughest game there has ever been for Arsenal fans

:39:18. > :39:21.to get a ticket. Talking to a few Arsenal fans who said they'd been to

:39:22. > :39:33.Champions League finals, FA Cup finals, everything and couldn't get

:39:34. > :39:40.here. Only around 500 of them. The ball went off the field of play. An

:39:41. > :39:44.uninvited guest has won onto the field of play so we will have a

:39:45. > :39:48.pause while it's dealt with. 12 minutes have gone by and Paul

:39:49. > :39:54.Doswell is going to be content with what he's seen. Delighted, his team

:39:55. > :39:59.obviously listened to the game plan, working hard at it and so far.

:40:00. > :40:04.What's impressed the is that they have that composure. They've all

:40:05. > :40:07.played at a higher level and you can see there is quality in the team.

:40:08. > :40:10.Not consistency because of their league position but they've got

:40:11. > :40:14.quality and there's no better occasion for them to show the

:40:15. > :40:18.quality and that at some point in their career they've played at a

:40:19. > :40:22.higher level. Talking to Paul Doswell and some of the coaching

:40:23. > :40:28.staff and the players when they were arriving that they were extremely

:40:29. > :40:33.relaxed. A vital part of their preparation, being calm. They

:40:34. > :40:35.wouldn't need the motivation. The Arsenal players would have needed

:40:36. > :40:39.motivation in a different way, to come here and play their game. Paul

:40:40. > :40:47.was saying before the match that it was about keeping them calm before

:40:48. > :40:52.they go on to the pitch. Ospina for Arsenal who have lost three of their

:40:53. > :41:00.last four matches. Gabriel didn't get the touch. Collins, that was a

:41:01. > :41:07.bit short but he got there ahead of Lucas.

:41:08. > :41:14.Stepped up to take the penalty kick against Leeds United, Jamie Collins,

:41:15. > :41:17.and what a big moment it was and how confidently he put it away. He has

:41:18. > :41:32.subsequently missed from the spot, though.

:41:33. > :41:50.Free kick. Roarie Deacon was felled. He's a busy player. Sharp, quick

:41:51. > :41:55.feet as well and you can see he's up for the game, as he was against

:41:56. > :42:01.Leeds. Playing just behind the main striker. Finally got into league

:42:02. > :42:06.football at Stevenage, Roarie Deacon, having just failed to make

:42:07. > :42:14.the grade at Arsenal and Sunderland. The keeper, Worner, from almost the

:42:15. > :42:21.halfway line. Collins is the target. May is in support. It's going to be

:42:22. > :42:31.a goal kick for Arsenal, Biamou didn't get there.

:42:32. > :42:44.So, Mustafi to Gabriel. This picture is similar to the one on which

:42:45. > :42:47.England played a couple of years ago against Lithuania in a European

:42:48. > :42:54.Championship qualifier. England winning the game 3-0, memorable for

:42:55. > :42:58.one Arsenal player in particular, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. He is on

:42:59. > :43:05.the bench today. He's scored in that game, his fifth England goal and

:43:06. > :43:14.still his most recent. Walcott, the deflection off Collins. Good scrap.

:43:15. > :43:23.Lost it now but Amankwaah was at before the battle. -- up for the

:43:24. > :43:27.battle. One player too many. Amankwaah is playing left-back for

:43:28. > :43:31.Sutton. His team-mate Eastmond spotted the danger and broke the

:43:32. > :43:46.Arsenal break. Got the crowd going, but the crowd don't need that.

:43:47. > :43:59.Nicely back to Reine-Adelaide, that was quality. Iwobi dropping back.

:44:00. > :44:08.Wild. Elneny was right underneath it. Nice build-up, though. Certainly

:44:09. > :44:12.was. First occasional that an Arsenal player has been free down

:44:13. > :44:19.the side, good 1-2. Look at the bodies that Sutton got in the way.

:44:20. > :44:25.Wild strike from Elneny. 105 league places between them, Sutton United

:44:26. > :44:32.are 16 places below Lincoln City. Arsenal are eight above Burnley. So

:44:33. > :44:46.it's a much wider gap even than the Burnley Lincoln upset.

:44:47. > :44:55.Well won back by Downer, Monreal with his hands full. Michael Oliver

:44:56. > :44:58.is shaking his head. Eastmond was looking over his shoulder, he's

:44:59. > :45:04.going to take up with Michael Oliver now. Inconsistency by Saddam.

:45:05. > :45:07.Eastmond was never really in control of the ball, getting lucky with the

:45:08. > :45:17.ball going through the legs of Monreal. Not a penalty. Iwobi

:45:18. > :45:27.forward terrain Adelaide. -- to Reine-Adelaide. Cleared by Beckwith.

:45:28. > :45:37.Good block by Nicky Bailey. Trying to get some real momentum going

:45:38. > :45:42.here, Arsenal. Yet to really do that in the game. Perhaps understandable

:45:43. > :46:07.as they get used to the surface. Can't find Walcott. Amankwaah is

:46:08. > :46:14.there, and that is a good ball well covered by Mustafi for Arsenal.

:46:15. > :46:17.Starting to get a bit of a patent Arsenal's play. That left hand side

:46:18. > :46:27.is an opportunity for them to get in. Should Sutton win this, which

:46:28. > :46:32.obviously is unlikely, but cannot be written off at the stage for sure,

:46:33. > :46:34.then we would be guaranteed a non-league side in the semifinals of

:46:35. > :46:51.the FA Cup. Holding has given it away to Deacon.

:46:52. > :46:53.Looking to take on Monreal. Holding is relieved because he gave it away,

:46:54. > :47:13.and gave it away cheaply. Collins. Bailey does a good job,

:47:14. > :47:17.number 16 for Sutton, just sitting in front of that back four. That is

:47:18. > :47:23.a free kick. Middlesbrough once paid the thick end of 1.5 million for

:47:24. > :47:29.Nicky Bailey, so he knows is way around a football pitch. Excellent,

:47:30. > :47:33.confident football by Sutton. He was under pressure but in that occasion

:47:34. > :47:36.there was enough confidence to think he could turn get away from his

:47:37. > :47:44.marker or draw the free kick and he won a free kick. Another opportunity

:47:45. > :47:51.for the Sutton goalkeeper Worner to get it into the Arsenal penalty

:47:52. > :47:54.area. I really like Adam May, he played with Portsmouth before

:47:55. > :47:59.embarking on this memorable loan spell. Deacon has done well, it will

:48:00. > :48:06.be trying to track him. Deacon's Ross has gone behind. Simon Long did

:48:07. > :48:11.not have his -- had his flag up. Not lacking confidence. Backs himself.

:48:12. > :48:15.Takes opportunities, every game he plays will stop that are starting to

:48:16. > :48:21.develop that side of the pitch, for Sutton. Sutton on a couple of

:48:22. > :48:24.occasions got down the right-hand side. Balls into the box but

:48:25. > :48:37.unfortunately for them nobody in the box beat them. Mustafi for Arsenal.

:48:38. > :48:46.Reine-Adelaide, good footwork but dispossessed by is on.

:48:47. > :49:15.Xhaka. The 1-2 is on, deflection on the cross and well taken. Ross

:49:16. > :49:26.Worner. A familiar face there, Alan Pardew,

:49:27. > :49:33.who is a frequent visitor these days in his little sabbatical to Gander

:49:34. > :49:36.Green Lane. Bruce Elliott alongside, the chairman, whose grandson,

:49:37. > :49:43.Archie, was one of the mascots today.

:49:44. > :49:52.Well, you were talking about chunks of the game, Graham. 15 minute, 20

:49:53. > :49:56.minute chunks, whatever, 21 played, the first chunk achieved.

:49:57. > :50:00.Absolutely, and they look comfortable, Sutton. Always going to

:50:01. > :50:04.struggle with the speed that Arsenal move the ball, the quality of touch

:50:05. > :50:09.and the interchange. But at the moment Arsenal have been limited to

:50:10. > :50:14.sort of playing the majority of football in front of Sutton's whole

:50:15. > :50:17.team really, as you can see in this situation. They are dropping off but

:50:18. > :50:22.they are keeping tight and as long as they keep that they will be hard

:50:23. > :50:27.to break down. Monreal takes him on and give the ball in play. Lucas.

:50:28. > :50:36.That is coming to yellow shirts. May to Deacon. May continuing his run,

:50:37. > :50:42.DNA already forward. Deacon taking on Gabriel. -- Diame already

:50:43. > :50:53.forward. Disappointed with himself. Wonderful individual play by Deacon.

:50:54. > :50:58.He's positive. The quality of the ball in is poor. Needed to wrap his

:50:59. > :51:02.foot around it a bit more. I can't tell you what a wonderful day he had

:51:03. > :51:05.against Leeds United, Roarie Deacon. If you didn't see it, he was the

:51:06. > :51:26.outstanding attacking player on the pitch.

:51:27. > :51:31.A little bit of Arsenal history tonight actually, this is the

:51:32. > :51:37.smallest crowd their first team will ever have played in front of since

:51:38. > :51:44.accurate records began. 5013 tickets sold. Bailey for Sutton. Eastmond.

:51:45. > :51:56.Free kick. WHISTLE Their confidence is growing all the

:51:57. > :52:00.time. Yellow card comes out. Granit Xhaka, who is now stranger to a

:52:01. > :52:06.card, is the first recipient of one here. He missed times the challenge,

:52:07. > :52:10.in terms of gets the wrong side of the ball and it is a cynical

:52:11. > :52:18.pull-back. He would expect to get a booking for that. He has only just

:52:19. > :52:22.come back from a four game domestic ban for his second red card of the

:52:23. > :52:27.season, Granit Xhaka. Sent off both against Swansea and Burnley. It is a

:52:28. > :52:35.relatively early yellow for him. He is a combative individual. Long

:52:36. > :52:42.towards Collins again. Well won in the air, that, by Mustafi. Gomis for

:52:43. > :52:51.Sutton. Amankwaah now. Deacon back into Amankwaah. Gomis. Holding off

:52:52. > :52:55.Lucas. He did well. Roarie Deacon, Amankwaah I Headifen, just couldn't

:52:56. > :52:58.keep the ball in play. But they are not only getting more confidence,

:52:59. > :53:04.they really are looking like they are enjoying themselves out there,

:53:05. > :53:07.Sutton. That thread, taking a funeral risks, but they have to be

:53:08. > :53:10.cautious as well, they have to remember their game plan, not get

:53:11. > :53:15.carried away that they are growing into this game and then lose

:53:16. > :53:22.themselves wide open. -- taking a few more risks.

:53:23. > :53:28.Interesting to see, Steve, that every 50-50 challenge, a Sutton

:53:29. > :53:31.player Winsor stopped there was more commitment. Arsenal players are

:53:32. > :53:36.going in to protect themselves, Sutton players are going in to win

:53:37. > :53:39.the ball. There has been a few teams of repute in the FA Cup this season

:53:40. > :53:40.who have assumed that their quality would finally tell, and often it

:53:41. > :54:27.hasn't. Amankwaah forward, Deacon. Biamou to Dauda, to Bailey. -- to

:54:28. > :54:35.Downer. Beckwith, commerce climbing, Gabriel climbing with him. No foul.

:54:36. > :54:39.-- Gomis climbing custom Reine-Adelaide, back into Granit

:54:40. > :54:49.Xhaka. Theo Walcott is in the middle. Walcott hurdle, it has gone

:54:50. > :54:53.all the way in! Lucas takes the congratulations, Walcott ran across

:54:54. > :55:02.it, probably the goalkeeper but Walcott didn't get a touch, and

:55:03. > :55:08.Lucas puts in front. Misfortune for Worner. Lucas scores, Sutton United

:55:09. > :55:12.0- one Arsenal. That is how quickly Arsenal break. You can see it is the

:55:13. > :55:16.first time Sutton have thrown Burdisso Dan Lobb back quickly

:55:17. > :55:22.enough. That is a cross into a space. Excellent run by Theo Walcott

:55:23. > :55:29.as well and he has the presence of mind to let the ball go. Tries to

:55:30. > :55:42.get a little touch, actually. He misses it. And Paul -- Paul Worner,

:55:43. > :55:46.he can do nothing about that. -- Ross Worner. A little puff of the

:55:47. > :55:51.cheeks, no doubt that the last angle showed Walcott did not touch that,

:55:52. > :55:56.and I would imagine if you are on 99 goals if you do touch it you will

:55:57. > :56:06.let everyone know. It is a goal for Lucas Perez and Arsenal.

:56:07. > :56:27.Here's Reine-Adelaide for Arsenal, suddenly feeling a lot happier.

:56:28. > :56:38.Lucas, danger here, Iwobi. Monreal committee becomes, good block. The

:56:39. > :56:43.ball has not gone out of play. Iwobi laid it back and Reine-Adelaide Mr

:56:44. > :56:49.completely and Roarie Deacon has at for Sutton. Michael Oliver Luck that

:56:50. > :56:55.the spot and deemed it had not gone out. Gomis forward to Biamou, who I

:56:56. > :57:02.think was in an offside position anyway.

:57:03. > :57:09.This might have been a second. That's right, Monreal, poor first

:57:10. > :57:14.touch, the ball most funds away from him, he makes up with it with speed.

:57:15. > :57:19.Don't know what Worner was doing, it was not a pass back, he could have

:57:20. > :57:23.dived on that. Fortunately for Sutton the ball falls to his feet. A

:57:24. > :57:29.better touch from Monreal and it is 2-0. He has only ever scored twice

:57:30. > :57:33.Arsenal but here they come again, finding gaps now, Theo Walcott

:57:34. > :57:41.getting their head of Collins. He has Gabriel outside of him, Walcott.

:57:42. > :57:45.Certainly worth a go. It is one of the features of these sorts of

:57:46. > :57:49.pictures as well, the ball just sits up, you see it just bouncing when he

:57:50. > :57:53.strikes the ball. It is not a case of trying to put power on it, it is

:57:54. > :57:58.just a case of getting a clean strike. He nearly makes that count.

:57:59. > :58:02.But once again, Sutton have suddenly lost their shape and as they were

:58:03. > :58:04.getting more confident, they have lost their discipline and Arsenal

:58:05. > :58:09.already benefiting from this base opening up in areas where they can

:58:10. > :58:16.create problems. He scored in the cup final two years ago, the

:58:17. > :58:21.thrashing really, in the end, of Aston Villa. Now, can Sutton

:58:22. > :58:25.steadied the ship with a little over 15 minutes of the first have to go?

:58:26. > :58:30.Absolutely nothing wrong with the first 25 minutes. They must and that

:58:31. > :58:42.that goal affect them too much. A slice of fortune about it.

:58:43. > :58:51.His record of six FA Cup wins is equalled with Aston Villa's George

:58:52. > :58:59.Munsey, who was Villa's manager 42 years, can you believe, from 1887 to

:59:00. > :59:05.1920. In those terms, Wenger is just starting out. I was going to say,

:59:06. > :59:06.don't tell Arsene Wenger that. He is just about getting into his stride

:59:07. > :59:24.at Arsenal, by that measure. Gomis facing his own goal but

:59:25. > :59:30.finding his goalkeeper who did not quite find the connection he was

:59:31. > :59:38.looking for. Amankwaah's header hit the goal-scorer, Lucas Perez.

:59:39. > :59:44.Holding. A little bit nervous. And he comes away with the ball. When it

:59:45. > :59:48.might have fallen to Biamou, but he showed good composure. Big risk, he

:59:49. > :59:55.got away with it slightly, as the ball sat up. That wasn't a bad ball,

:59:56. > :00:01.that, by Lucas to Reine-Adelaide that he was caught slightly on his

:00:02. > :00:06.heels. Elneny has a problem here. Playing on these pictures, Graham,

:00:07. > :00:11.is it a different experience for the ankles and knees? It is, I used to

:00:12. > :00:15.hate it. They have got better, the pitches, they are much more Spungin

:00:16. > :00:19.outcome of these artificial pitches, but it is not just the toughness,

:00:20. > :00:23.the hardness of the pitch, but it is also when you put your studs in at

:00:24. > :00:27.high speed, your boots catch. So you are putting a lot more load through

:00:28. > :00:30.your joints. I had an horrific ankle injury when I was playing and it

:00:31. > :00:36.made it really difficult to even train on these. And there was a

:00:37. > :00:39.conversation about Welbeck maybe not starting or playing I should say

:00:40. > :00:46.because of his knees. That would not surprise me. Let's here from Dan

:00:47. > :00:50.Walker, who was over by the dugouts. Down here with Ian Baird, the head

:00:51. > :00:53.coach at Sutton United, took us through the first half an hour. You

:00:54. > :00:58.must have been really happy with the first 25 minutes or so. Really

:00:59. > :01:01.happy. We had a game plan and we seem to be sticking to it but

:01:02. > :01:05.unfortunately we missed the tackle in their final third, they break on

:01:06. > :01:09.us and they scored what we would say probably a poor goal for us to

:01:10. > :01:13.concede. But there is a long way to go. From our point of view we have

:01:14. > :01:17.to get the half-time at 1-0. If we do concede again, it will be a

:01:18. > :01:22.massive uphill struggle. But credit where it is due, the lads are going

:01:23. > :01:26.really well and apart from the goal we have done all right! Both you and

:01:27. > :01:30.Paul Doswell standing alongside you, shouting tight in your own heart.

:01:31. > :01:35.You can't afford to give those Arsenal players any room. In our

:01:36. > :01:40.half, her game plan, as soon as we put into it, we need to be all over

:01:41. > :01:49.them like a rash. Pulitzer -- for bits and pieces we weren't.

:01:50. > :02:08.Elneny has recovered, by the way. Giving it a fair lick up and down

:02:09. > :02:18.the touchline. Xhaka forward. Collins, strong. No prisoners there!

:02:19. > :02:24.Yes, that's a proper tackle, that, isn't it? Wouldn't get away with

:02:25. > :02:29.that in the Premier League in this day and age. It's the follow-through

:02:30. > :02:37.with his foot. He caught him all right, feet off the ground. Iwobi

:02:38. > :02:40.has done well to ride that. He was the captain of havoc and

:02:41. > :02:52.Waterlooville, Collins, when they were twice ahead at Anfield in the

:02:53. > :02:58.FA Cup in 2008 -- Havant. Liverpool recovered and won 3-2. Bailey

:02:59. > :03:09.getting a foot in. Eastmond, Holding needs to be

:03:10. > :03:13.careful and he was. Michael Oliver has said there was a foul on Roarie

:03:14. > :03:17.Deacon and it's a free kick for Sutton, they will take that. Good

:03:18. > :03:24.advantage by Michael Oliver. Challenged by Mustafi, Deacon being

:03:25. > :03:29.positive, looking for the opportunity to pass forward. Mustafi

:03:30. > :03:35.catching him there. More remarkable that Oliver didn't give the free

:03:36. > :03:41.kick for the challenged by Collins on the Iwobi. Deacon to take this.

:03:42. > :03:45.Everyone in the Arsenal half apart from the Sutton keeper. Around the

:03:46. > :03:52.back post, Collins couldn't reach it. Didn't quite get his range

:03:53. > :03:58.correct tonight. Difficult with the wind blowing behind him. When it's

:03:59. > :04:02.up in the air, it carries through. The area he's trying to hit is

:04:03. > :04:12.perfect. The trajectory was a bit high. Just takes one of those to

:04:13. > :04:18.come off, though. Yeah. Not afraid to get bodies forward from the set

:04:19. > :04:22.pieces, as you'd expect. If it's still 1-0 with ten minutes to go,

:04:23. > :04:28.then those situations become very nervous indeed for Arsenal. Nothing

:04:29. > :04:29.disastrous about the scoreline at the moment by any stretch, for

:04:30. > :05:16.Sutton. Walcott has gone through the

:05:17. > :05:22.challenge of May. Eastmond did well to close down Lucas. Coming away

:05:23. > :05:44.with it. Good appetite to win it back for Arsenal. He did well.

:05:45. > :05:54.Waving Gabriel forward. Trying to find Walcott. They can, hasn't

:05:55. > :06:00.really got anywhere to go. -- Deacon. That isn't just a heave Ho,

:06:01. > :06:06.that was a pass to Biamou, which is dealt with. Sutton, going back to

:06:07. > :06:13.the game plan, almost inviting Arsenal to try and read those balls

:06:14. > :06:18.between the lines. Intercepting. Deacon getting his head up early and

:06:19. > :06:23.looking forward. Yes, they've settled again, Sutton. 17th in the

:06:24. > :06:31.National League. Only six points above the Weligton zone, actually.

:06:32. > :06:36.-- relegation zone. One of the smallest stands you'll ever see,

:06:37. > :06:42.holding 90! I know that because I went and counted them. Did you have

:06:43. > :06:51.dejected tickets? I counted the empty seats! -- did you have two

:06:52. > :06:54.check the tickets. Xhaka driving forward, chased by Bailey. Towards

:06:55. > :07:11.Lucas but well read. Worner is typical of many of these

:07:12. > :07:16.Sutton United players, starting his career at Woking and got a break

:07:17. > :07:20.into league football, playing for Charlton Athletic. A lot of these

:07:21. > :07:21.players have bounced around, journeyman professionals, as you'd

:07:22. > :07:47.call them. Xhaka, forward to Monreal. Downer

:07:48. > :07:51.getting across. Iwobi, that came off the Sutton man and it will be an

:07:52. > :07:57.Arsenal corner, their first with only six minutes to go. He is

:07:58. > :08:01.breathing a little bit, Downer, on that side. He hasn't got much

:08:02. > :08:05.protection and Arsenal breaking forward so quickly. Excellent

:08:06. > :08:13.movement, quality, moving the ball quickly, good runs. Wasn't a player

:08:14. > :08:22.available with a red shirt. I'm pretty sure if you'd offered Sutton

:08:23. > :08:27.1-0 now, they would take it. Holding trying to get it forward, Collins

:08:28. > :08:34.with the clearance. Biamou with the header. Under pressure from Deacon,

:08:35. > :08:40.was that a foul? Free kick, Sutton and it's a yellow card for rain

:08:41. > :08:52.Adelaide, the second Arsenal player in the book. -- rain Adelaide --

:08:53. > :08:57.Reine-Adelaide. A little clip of the ankles to make sure that Deacon

:08:58. > :09:01.doesn't get away from him. Excellent opportunity, with 40 minutes played,

:09:02. > :09:12.Ford Deacon to put a flatter ball in that space, between the six yard box

:09:13. > :09:16.and the penalty spot. Deacon's radar has been slightly off so far but if

:09:17. > :09:23.he gets this right, this could be the chance they've been waiting for.

:09:24. > :09:32.Clipped towards the back post. Downer into the danger area, good

:09:33. > :09:38.idea but there wasn't a yellow shirt there. Important challenge made by

:09:39. > :09:41.Eastmond. They might still break. Walcott, not many quicker than him,

:09:42. > :09:53.certainly not in the Sutton team. Good block. A whisker wired. --

:09:54. > :09:55.wide. Took a deflection, laughed off Ajmal Ollett off, for Sutton.

:09:56. > :10:03.Arsenal breaking with purpose. Just the slightest deflection,

:10:04. > :10:05.Beckwith, going through the legs, taking it off target, to the relief

:10:06. > :10:17.of Worner. Important moments, these, for

:10:18. > :10:25.Sutton. That's a good header from Downer, commanding staff when they

:10:26. > :10:31.needed it. Gomis did no more than lump it downfield in hope. Good

:10:32. > :10:40.header from that corner from number 27, Downer. But the alarm bells are

:10:41. > :10:43.many for Sutton, the half-time whistle can't come soon enough.

:10:44. > :11:00.Lucas is in the penalty area. May has come out to close down

:11:01. > :11:22.Elneny. On the Runs foot -- wrong foot. The

:11:23. > :11:31.first touch wasn't good enough. Perfect run, just a terrible touch.

:11:32. > :11:44.Given away to Amankwaah by Elneny. Collins was there. An side, Biamou.

:11:45. > :12:04.-- onside. The last three occasions Arsenal

:12:05. > :12:10.have played non-league sides in the FA Cup they have gone on to win the

:12:11. > :12:15.competition. If they win this game they have another non-league side in

:12:16. > :12:24.the quarterfinal. Walcott, Faldo by Amankwaah. -- fouled by. Getting

:12:25. > :12:31.between the ball and the opponent. If they go on and win the FA Cup, as

:12:32. > :12:35.Amankwaah's header finds Beckwith, they would look back and say that

:12:36. > :12:39.they had a stroke of luck. It may not be comfortable but drawing

:12:40. > :12:48.non-league teams in rounds five and six isn't exactly an lucky. --

:12:49. > :12:55.unlucky. The last minute of the first half and given away, what was

:12:56. > :13:06.Ospina doing? May, wide, with three, four yellow shirts in the area. What

:13:07. > :13:13.was Ospina doing? Getting a bit of stick for that clearance. Awful,

:13:14. > :13:20.sloppy play. In that position, May on his weaker left foot. He has to

:13:21. > :13:27.hit the target. Force the keeper into a save. Sometimes its

:13:28. > :13:34.decision-making that turns good players integrate players and May, B

:13:35. > :13:40.didn't make the right call. Force is been to make a save -- Ospina to

:13:41. > :13:47.make a save. He didn't even hit the target. Six times an FA Cup winner,

:13:48. > :13:56.Wenger, winning nine trophies with Arsenal. Two added minutes. Nine

:13:57. > :14:00.trophies won, Harzand bang and Arsenal have been runners-up in 11

:14:01. > :14:07.more under his stewardship of over 20 years.

:14:08. > :14:17.I was on the receiving end of one of those victories. Six times per

:14:18. > :14:26.merely runners-up, FA Cup runners-up -- Premier League. Champions League

:14:27. > :14:29.runners-up. Arsenal have done fantastically well under Arsene

:14:30. > :14:37.Wenger but it could have been a good deal more spectacular.

:14:38. > :14:42.Lucas looking for Walcott. Amankwaah isn't going to get their ahead of

:14:43. > :14:51.Gabriel. Clipped meekly by Xhaka to Elneny --

:14:52. > :15:14.neatly. Beckwith, nice. Clipped towards

:15:15. > :15:23.Biamou, couldn't take it in his stride.

:15:24. > :15:42.Eastmond's crossfield ball was well cut out actually by Gabriel.

:15:43. > :15:52.WHISTLE Well, they're still dreaming. It

:15:53. > :15:57.hasn't gone exactly to plan for Sutton United. A hint of fortune,

:15:58. > :16:02.maybe, about the goal scored by Lucas Perez, but Sutton have held

:16:03. > :16:07.their own here. They are only one goal down here at half-time, and

:16:08. > :16:09.that is not a bad return from the first 45 minutes of this game.

:16:10. > :16:20.Sutton United 0- one Arsenal. STUDIO: The players trooped off at

:16:21. > :16:26.half-time and Sutton making a fist of it, a little opportunity before

:16:27. > :16:32.half-time. You have to remember the salaries of the combined players of

:16:33. > :16:38.Sutton works out at about 400,000, that of Arsenal is 192 million. The

:16:39. > :16:44.manager said their game plan was going out brilliantly. The 26 or 27

:16:45. > :16:47.minutes they were winning most of the 50-50 challenges and giving

:16:48. > :16:51.Arsenal at bay that I think they got a bit more excited than anything.

:16:52. > :16:54.They committed men forward and got punished on the break, a very good

:16:55. > :16:58.finish. But still in this game and they will get another chance in the

:16:59. > :17:02.second half so they have done well. Whilst it is 1-0 they are in it, but

:17:03. > :17:07.Arsenal, as you would expect, had the better chances. We have only had

:17:08. > :17:12.two shots on target, though. It was a little bit timid, a bit sloppy at

:17:13. > :17:16.times in the final third, but Lucas Perez's finish was excellent. We

:17:17. > :17:18.said before the game he has played in the Champions League, his only

:17:19. > :17:22.real start, he scored three goals that day. It comes on to that effort

:17:23. > :17:26.and a wonderful finish him but you would expect that from Arsenal. Just

:17:27. > :17:32.that cutting edge. Maybe not ruthless enough in the final third.

:17:33. > :17:35.Interesting with Lucas, his last eight stores and scored six but has

:17:36. > :17:41.only started last two Premier League games. Once here's is out there

:17:42. > :17:45.one-on-one, coming inside on the left foot, he did what you should

:17:46. > :17:49.do, actually fears that ball across the goal, aim for the far post and

:17:50. > :17:52.anything gets a touch on it, fine. But if you get it just inside the

:17:53. > :17:58.post you have half a chance of going in. He would sit in with pace.

:17:59. > :18:02.Walcott tries to nip it in. The fact that Walcott moved made it difficult

:18:03. > :18:08.for the goalkeeper. But the former knows that, Perez. Very good finish,

:18:09. > :18:12.the keeper hasn't got a chance with Walcott running across the front of

:18:13. > :18:16.him. I don't think they have done it enough, Arsenal. When Sutton commit

:18:17. > :18:20.men forward, the once or twice they have looked dangerous, particularly

:18:21. > :18:23.down the left. They have been indecent sessions, the final ball

:18:24. > :18:28.has been pork but if they keep doing that they will create more chances

:18:29. > :18:33.for sub they had their chance, Adam May, could have made a name for

:18:34. > :18:38.himself. Ospina put it on a play to him, Iheanacho what is in his head,

:18:39. > :18:42.he is just far too casual, and Adam May has to hit the target, just

:18:43. > :18:48.concentrate on hitting the target. Two good touch first. May be felt

:18:49. > :18:52.the wrong player. I have been oppressed in actually in the game.

:18:53. > :18:56.But he will be disappointed when he sees that back. He should hit the

:18:57. > :19:04.target, left foot. Don't know what the goalkeeper was doing. These are

:19:05. > :19:08.the pictures in the dressing room, they look a little bit disgruntled,

:19:09. > :19:12.no need to become a long way to go, they are still in it of course.

:19:13. > :19:17.Still fighting. Only a goal down. I suppose largely in a way because of

:19:18. > :19:20.the fact they have had a real go, and the fact maybe that Arsenal have

:19:21. > :19:22.not been at their silky best on perhaps a surface that doesn't

:19:23. > :19:28.necessarily suit that kind of football. I think they have been

:19:29. > :19:30.sloppy, at times come a two-minute touches on the ball. They have

:19:31. > :19:35.looked more dangerous when they have taken one and two touches, past and

:19:36. > :19:39.moved and got runners behind, hitting Sutton on the break. But too

:19:40. > :19:43.many touches and Sutton won most of the 50-50 challenges. When you see

:19:44. > :19:47.some of the challenges going in, you can see one or two of the Arsenal

:19:48. > :19:51.players just shying away here with the 50-50 balls. They have looked

:19:52. > :19:54.pretty dangerous down the left-hand side that won they have got to the

:19:55. > :20:05.byline, the final ball has been poor. Sutton have had a bit of a go

:20:06. > :20:10.at times. Which would expect was the this one from Eastmond on Elneny,

:20:11. > :20:13.bang. Just a little taster. You are the foreign player who has come over

:20:14. > :20:20.here to take my place and I will let you know. Collins comes out, makes

:20:21. > :20:23.the tackle. He has done excellently, the captain. It is one of those now,

:20:24. > :20:27.they will be in that second half, looking around the dressing room.

:20:28. > :20:30.They have got to just get a little bit more, maybe a moment of

:20:31. > :20:33.inspiration is enough of them. Roarie Deacon as well, look at the

:20:34. > :20:37.left-back as well, the amount of tackles he has put in, really got

:20:38. > :20:40.the crowd going. But they have to keep going, keep believing in

:20:41. > :20:46.themselves and who knows what can happen? I totally agree with that.

:20:47. > :20:49.Some tackles have been hard, but I think the vast majority of them have

:20:50. > :20:54.been fair. You've got to realise what is at stake for these guys.

:20:55. > :21:01.That is an absolute cruncher. Martin reckons that as a foul. I saw Gary

:21:02. > :21:07.would sing at that time, Kerry -- Gary thought it was a car accident.

:21:08. > :21:13.I would have been nowhere near that, you'll is! If it is going to come

:21:14. > :21:18.from anywhere for Sutton, I suspect Roarie Deacon. He has looked

:21:19. > :21:22.dangerous. He has. When he gets time and space to run at that Arsenal

:21:23. > :21:27.defence. My only criticism of him would be sad at times his final ball

:21:28. > :21:30.has been lacking. Very much like Arsenal, actually, when they have

:21:31. > :21:35.got into some dangerous positions down the left-hand side, or down the

:21:36. > :21:43.right-hand side, then their final ball has been poor. This was

:21:44. > :21:48.probably the second or third time. He shouldn't have to worry about who

:21:49. > :21:53.or where the players are in the box, just get it into a dangerous area.

:21:54. > :21:56.Four on this occasion by the bullets them down. He has great spirit, he

:21:57. > :22:02.keeps popping up everywhere, no doubt. Just the quality again, can

:22:03. > :22:06.he whip that round. You kind of calculate where you want to put it.

:22:07. > :22:10.That is just overenthusiastic, but once it settles down he could do

:22:11. > :22:14.something dangerous, second half. Still going. I think he will be

:22:15. > :22:19.replaced with his players, they have given of thing. They stuck to the

:22:20. > :22:22.game plan for a while. As he anticipated, Arsenal would have had

:22:23. > :22:26.a lot of the ball. Not done too much with it, I don't think. But he will

:22:27. > :22:30.be quietly confident that they will at least I think it one more decent

:22:31. > :22:35.chance in that second half, but can make it a tight enough of the back?

:22:36. > :22:40.We will now play a little bit of analysis of Arsenal 's chances, the

:22:41. > :22:45.fact that there are not that many. It speaks volumes for Sutton's

:22:46. > :22:48.efforts. Sutton are not being in narrative. It is a little bit of

:22:49. > :22:53.sloppiness. Arsenal should kill this tie off once they go 1-0 up. These

:22:54. > :23:00.are chances they may rue if it stays like this. He will be in there with

:23:01. > :23:02.the Churchillian speech at half-time, these players are

:23:03. > :23:07.achieving great things and they wanted to continue. If you are a

:23:08. > :23:10.lower league player, you hardly get any chances to get this far.

:23:11. > :23:15.Inspiration in the second half is what they are looking for. Arsenal

:23:16. > :23:17.should in theory with their ability, with their fitness, should take

:23:18. > :23:22.control of the game in the second half. That, as I said, I am a

:23:23. > :23:27.believer that I think Sutton will get one more chance at least, and

:23:28. > :23:31.can they take it? This is where they should be more ruthless. These are

:23:32. > :23:36.chances, could he had them that with the outside of his right foot a bit,

:23:37. > :23:44.a bit of improvisation? I might have taken that on the inside of my right

:23:45. > :23:47.foot. Martin, stop it! Certainly in training, anyway! We will have the

:23:48. > :23:53.second half shortly but first the views of some of the sell-out crowd

:23:54. > :23:57.here at Sutton. Dan Walker is on the pitch. Look at this trio, Tim Vine,

:23:58. > :24:02.who is in the studio pre-match, Alan Pardew and Bruce Elliott, about to

:24:03. > :24:05.get soaked here, Bruce. The Sutton chairman, Bruce, I know Alan is your

:24:06. > :24:08.lucky charm, you brought him down the two of the previous rounds in

:24:09. > :24:13.this competition and the team have gone through, what have you made of

:24:14. > :24:16.the first half? We have done exceptionally well. After half an

:24:17. > :24:20.hour I started to think how long, we are in with a chance here and

:24:21. > :24:24.obviously they scored. But I am delighted with how we have done in

:24:25. > :24:28.the first half, to 1-0, we are pleased with that. Alan, from a

:24:29. > :24:34.Premier League manager's point of view, it is a horrible game, a

:24:35. > :24:37.nightmare for Wenger and his team. The surface makes it difficult of

:24:38. > :24:41.course but it is just the pace of the Premier League team now and

:24:42. > :24:45.again, he just and hinges Sutton. But Sutton have done terrific, some

:24:46. > :24:49.great defending, and had a couple of moments. They have got to hope a set

:24:50. > :24:53.play or a mistake from the goalie gives them a chance, because the

:24:54. > :24:58.place will erupt if they can get a goal. Tim, you said before the game

:24:59. > :25:07.in this 90 minutes they could be the moment replayed on YouTuber for

:25:08. > :25:13.years to come. My prediction before was 2-1 to Sutton, so I will stick

:25:14. > :25:17.to that, it is going to plan. There you go, he confidently predicts a

:25:18. > :25:21.2-1 victory. What to last all need to make sure doesn't happen from the

:25:22. > :25:25.Premier League's team perspective? Not to give set plays away. That

:25:26. > :25:28.will be a key factor to keep their clean sheet that they want the

:25:29. > :25:32.night, but this game, the more it goes, the more confident Sutton

:25:33. > :25:35.become. There are one or two who are a bit nervous that they will grow

:25:36. > :25:44.into the game, so hopefully a little bit more from Sutton in the first

:25:45. > :25:47.half. Are you going for a 2-1? Yes, the first time I have agreed with

:25:48. > :25:54.Tim about anything. Probably the last time as well. If it goes wrong,

:25:55. > :25:58.don't invite Alan Pardew again, he your lucky charm. He is all right,

:25:59. > :26:04.you leave him alone. Enjoy the second half. When we talk about

:26:05. > :26:08.Saturn come everyone talks about 1989 and win over Coventry, and the

:26:09. > :26:13.goal-scorers that they, you know the names, Tony Rains and Matt Hanlan.

:26:14. > :26:17.They are here with us. Tony, not only a hero from years gone by that

:26:18. > :26:21.also a dorm and the night for Arsene Wenger. You on the door as the

:26:22. > :26:26.Arsenal team arrived. They wanted to back the coach right in and we had

:26:27. > :26:32.to clear the corridor to their security. We will show the goals

:26:33. > :26:39.from 1989. Does it feel a little bit like that afternoon to night for

:26:40. > :26:42.Sutton? We said earlier, the feel of it, the atmosphere, the way it is

:26:43. > :26:47.built up. And the way they have played, they have had a good chance.

:26:48. > :26:50.What have you made of the first half, Tony, and what do Sutton need

:26:51. > :26:54.to do to make sure they are still in this with five to ten minutes to go?

:26:55. > :26:58.They have done terrific, we are losing sight of the fact of the gap

:26:59. > :27:01.between the two sides at equality Arsenal have got. They have done

:27:02. > :27:05.terrific. We need to stay in the game as long as possible, you are

:27:06. > :27:10.right, Arsenal will get edgy and start playing the ball around. For

:27:11. > :27:13.me, it is the wide areas, Sutton have gone down and got some decent

:27:14. > :27:20.crosses in. They began with a few more players. But stay in the game

:27:21. > :27:23.at 1-0. It is a nightly dreams, who knows? The fact we are talking about

:27:24. > :27:29.it is proof enough, definitely have a chance. There will be a chance to

:27:30. > :27:31.come their way and if they take it, who knows? Great to speak to you

:27:32. > :27:35.again, guys, enjoy the second half. STUDIO: Great stuff. Lots more great

:27:36. > :28:01.sport come in the next few days. Welcome to the Premier League show.

:28:02. > :28:06.High, characters to I'm a little bit younger than you. The football ball

:28:07. > :28:11.Mike Tyson! You are the one who shouts of meal that I have. Who

:28:12. > :28:16.watches a game of football and thinks I wish I was the one blowing

:28:17. > :28:20.the whistle. We have a new signing. You haven't brought me here for the

:28:21. > :28:27.expert analysis. You told me I was better than him. LAUGHTER

:28:28. > :28:33.And Juan Mata is on the show this week. This is the final tie of the

:28:34. > :28:37.fifth round, and the quarterfinal draw was made last night. It has

:28:38. > :28:40.thrown up some decent fixtures, and I suppose the obvious one that

:28:41. > :28:46.stands out as the one at the top, Chelsea against Manchester United,

:28:47. > :28:50.Jose Mourinho back to Stamford Bridge Accenture. A very good rule,

:28:51. > :28:54.positive draw, something to look forward to. All the big teams still

:28:55. > :28:55.in it effectively and of course the non-league teams, which is quite

:28:56. > :29:05.remarkable. I suppose you could have Chelsea,

:29:06. > :29:09.Manchester City, Arsenal, Anton, though the people who support the

:29:10. > :29:13.other teams would massively disagree, but it is all set up for

:29:14. > :29:17.an exciting end of the season. Particularly when we were sat at the

:29:18. > :29:22.end of January, and the FA Cup ties, we said that teams had left players

:29:23. > :29:25.out and not respected the cup. Now we have non-league teams in the

:29:26. > :29:29.quarterfinals, we have big draws, so I feel the excitement is back.

:29:30. > :29:35.Whatever happens, we have a non-league team in the quarterfinal.

:29:36. > :29:38.Brilliant. Remarkable. For Arsenal, if they do get through, to play

:29:39. > :29:42.against non-league teams in both the fifth round at the sixth round of

:29:43. > :29:46.the cup. It says it all, the condition is alive and kicking and

:29:47. > :29:50.this year has proved it. The second half now, the next goal is

:29:51. > :29:54.absolutely massive. It could get nervy farcical out there. As the

:29:55. > :30:02.game goes on, they have done nothing wrong at all, Sutton, they just do

:30:03. > :30:05.what they do and it could change. Arsenal will want to kill the game

:30:06. > :30:13.off. They want to try. They are 1-0 up in an entertaining first half. If

:30:14. > :30:19.football still has a place among the superstars, Gander Green Lane is the

:30:20. > :30:22.place was top Monreal with his hands full. Michael Oliver is shaking his

:30:23. > :30:29.head, it has gone all the way. Lucas put Arsenal in front. Iwobi, and a

:30:30. > :30:36.whisker wide. What was Ospina doing? May wide.

:30:37. > :30:43.The two teams coming out for the second half. Oxlade-Chamberlain has

:30:44. > :30:50.come on for Elneny. Obvious change for Arsenal. Don any was injured in

:30:51. > :30:55.the first half. Let's go back to Graeme Le Saux and Steve Wilson for

:30:56. > :31:01.confirmation of that. -- Elneny was injured. COMMENTATOR: At the moment,

:31:02. > :31:06.Lincoln City are going to Arsenal, if that is the quarterfinal tie that

:31:07. > :31:15.Arsenal will be looking for revenge for the defeat back in March, March,

:31:16. > :31:20.1915, the last time they played! Oxlade-Chamberlain is coming on and

:31:21. > :31:26.Elneny, off. Sutton United aren't out of this and if they can somehow

:31:27. > :31:30.get through and face Lincoln in the quarterfinal then a non-league team

:31:31. > :31:34.would be in the semifinals for the first time since 1912 when Swindon

:31:35. > :31:43.were beaten in a replay in the semifinal at Barnsley, in 11 days

:31:44. > :31:47.before the Titanic sank. Sutton United will get the second half

:31:48. > :31:52.under way, from left to right, in yellow with Arsenal leading thanks

:31:53. > :31:58.to that Lucas Perez goal, in the red and white. Oxlade-Chamberlain is the

:31:59. > :32:06.change, Xhaka and Reine-Adelaide are on yellow cards. Collins launching

:32:07. > :32:17.one towards Biamou who won the header. Another header from Downer,

:32:18. > :32:25.well won. Downer for the third time. Biamou is offside.

:32:26. > :32:38.Good movement from Biamou there. Nearly got away with it in terms of

:32:39. > :32:41.the timing of his run, Arsenal's line just about holding up. I think

:32:42. > :32:46.you'll see more of that in the second half. Sutton are chasing the

:32:47. > :32:51.game, playing against the wind, so the ball is going to hold up a bit.

:32:52. > :32:56.Against Beech they didn't hold back in terms of getting the ball behind

:32:57. > :33:05.their defence and I expect the same now -- against Leeds. They deserved

:33:06. > :33:11.victory against Leeds. Eastmond forward, Biamou isn't offside.

:33:12. > :33:20.Holding back to Ospina. Holding did well, under pressure from Biamou,

:33:21. > :33:26.who is no slouch. There was a moment when you could see Ospina looking a

:33:27. > :33:37.bit nervous as he was chasing that as it was a high ball back from

:33:38. > :33:43.Holding. Interesting seeing the old footage of the game against Coventry

:33:44. > :33:51.in 1989, how muddy the pitch was. It was a third round tie, January.

:33:52. > :33:58.Would you rather play on the plastic pitch or a muddy pitch? Good

:33:59. > :34:05.question. Behind by Beckwith, Arsenal corner. He's missed their

:34:06. > :34:17.last six games, Dean Beckwith, with a hamstring injury.

:34:18. > :34:20.Iwobi's corner, towards Mustafi, headed out by Collins and then

:34:21. > :34:33.Downer. Xhaka, nicely to Lucas.

:34:34. > :34:34.Reine-Adelaide, who hasn't been a big influence on the game, the

:34:35. > :34:52.youngster. Oxlade-Chamberlain, nicely disguised

:34:53. > :35:00.ball but he didn't fool Collins, who made the clearance. Nice touch. Good

:35:01. > :35:05.linkup play. Oxlade-Chamberlain, coming on for Elneny, playing in the

:35:06. > :35:09.central midfield. Walcott giving Oxlade-Chamberlain the little thumbs

:35:10. > :35:17.up. Movement from Walcott, crossing the goal. The goal that Perez scored

:35:18. > :35:23.in the first half, the movement made him difficult to track. You must

:35:24. > :35:28.make sure you communicate. What do you make of Oxlade-Chamberlain in

:35:29. > :35:34.that more defensive midfield role that he's played a sometimes lately

:35:35. > :35:37.for Arsenal? Didn't go well in Munich, at fault for the fifth goal

:35:38. > :35:43.but I think it's position that Arsene Wenger sees as being the

:35:44. > :35:47.future for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. I think with the pacey has and his

:35:48. > :35:55.ability in wide areas I'd rather see him being used further up the field.

:35:56. > :36:07.Rain delayed, taking it away from Eastmond. -- Reine-Adelaide.

:36:08. > :36:15.Very strong challenge from Collins again. I think we've seen already in

:36:16. > :36:20.the opening four minutes of the second half that Oxlade-Chamberlain

:36:21. > :36:23.gives a bit more crispness and accuracy and imagination to their

:36:24. > :36:29.passing from midfield. Creative player, isn't he? Couple of passes

:36:30. > :36:38.we've seen already, direct, hitting them firmly. I don't doubt his

:36:39. > :36:42.technical ability, I just think when you have a creative player who is so

:36:43. > :36:52.good one against one, you've got to get the most out of them.

:36:53. > :37:02.There he is, Alexis Sanchez. Wide-eyed and ready, from the look

:37:03. > :37:10.of it. I get the impression that he's always ready. That's a death

:37:11. > :37:17.stare, isn't it? A combined back four of 134, I don't think they'd

:37:18. > :37:22.enjoyed Sanchez coming on later although maybe they would enjoy it

:37:23. > :37:22.because later they could say in their dotage that they played

:37:23. > :37:29.against Alexis Sanchez. Rocking chair moments, as Joe Royle

:37:30. > :38:05.calls them. Awkward bobbling one. Strong

:38:06. > :38:10.challenge from Downer. Oxlade-Chamberlain again. Saw the

:38:11. > :38:17.pass but he didn't completed. Great opportunity there. The ball fell

:38:18. > :38:24.nicely to him. You can see Walcott here just on the D and if that pass

:38:25. > :38:29.got through it would be one-on-one against the keeper. If you don't see

:38:30. > :38:33.it, you won't deliver it and Oxlade-Chamberlain certainly does

:38:34. > :38:44.the edge. The question is, did you see it? No, that's why I'm standing

:38:45. > :38:48.up here! Monreal, well won. Great turn, Gomis. Couldn't quite get the

:38:49. > :38:54.shot away. Well covered by Oxlade-Chamberlain but great stuff

:38:55. > :38:59.from Gomis. Good challenge from Bailey. Sutton have kicked into

:39:00. > :39:06.gear. Gomis can't quite reach it, such a shame. Great stuff. Gomis,

:39:07. > :39:13.good footwork. Sprang to life, didn't he, here. He's got more

:39:14. > :39:17.urgency to win the ball back, turning onto his right that, nearly

:39:18. > :39:25.getting away but the Arsenal players crowding him out. He used to play in

:39:26. > :39:38.Spain with Almeria, Gomis, and briefly for Southend United.

:39:39. > :39:54.Collins, probably got a shout to leave that.

:39:55. > :40:15.Arsenal's last game in front of 70,000 at the Allianz Arena.

:40:16. > :40:23.Paul Doswell will be at Wembley next weekend following his beloveds

:40:24. > :40:41.Southampton in the EFL Cup final against Manchester United.

:40:42. > :40:53.Well cut out, well read by Beckwith. Giving away by Eastmond, who hasn't

:40:54. > :40:57.done much wrong. Iwobi stepping away from May, Collins snapping at his

:40:58. > :41:05.heels. Bailey giving it away to Gabriel. Arsenal are beginning to

:41:06. > :41:12.knock ever harder on Sutton's door. Lucas, well worked. Good chance,

:41:13. > :41:17.great chance and 100 is up for Theo Walcott in Arsenal red and white.

:41:18. > :41:23.That's his century for the club and that is surely Arsenal through to

:41:24. > :41:33.the quarterfinals of the FA Cup. Because it is Sutton United, zero,

:41:34. > :41:38.Arsenal, two and that was quality. Very well worked goal by Arsenal.

:41:39. > :41:45.Playing narrow through the lies of the pitch and Monreal, excellent run

:41:46. > :41:50.-- through the line. Excellent delivery, Walcott not racing towards

:41:51. > :41:57.the goal, keeping in a decent area. Simple finish for him in the end.

:41:58. > :42:13.Theo Walcott in his 370th game for the club scoring his 100th goal. The

:42:14. > :42:15.longest serving current player. If you can be hypercritical of Sutton

:42:16. > :42:24.knew could say that their full-back could have stayed with him. Lovely

:42:25. > :42:25.ball, Beckwith did well. Lucas was in otherwise but for that touch to

:42:26. > :42:42.the keeper. Did that go out of play? I thought

:42:43. > :43:19.it had. Gabriel making a manful effort to

:43:20. > :43:25.reach it but never looked likely. They're going to have to really dig

:43:26. > :43:30.in now, Sutton, and throw everything at this, be more direct, try and get

:43:31. > :43:35.bodies forward to try and support the armoured and upfront, who's a

:43:36. > :43:41.bit isolated. -- support Biamou. Hasn't been lucky in his career with

:43:42. > :43:45.injuries, Walcott, so it is quite a milestone. 100 goals, considering he

:43:46. > :43:50.doesn't play down the middle anything as like as he would like to

:43:51. > :43:54.-- anything as often as you'd like to. May is in here! Into the gloves

:43:55. > :44:12.of Ospina. May was very unselfish. If the home fans needed a lift, that

:44:13. > :44:16.might have been it. The offside flag is up against Oxlade-Chamberlain.

:44:17. > :44:24.Great opportunity for Sutton to get one back. You wonder if May could

:44:25. > :44:30.have been more selfish. Good work again by Gomis. On his right foot,

:44:31. > :44:35.maybe closed down too quickly by the Arsenal player, I think it's

:44:36. > :44:38.Mustafi. I wonder if the chance he snatched at in the first half was in

:44:39. > :44:41.his mind, when perhaps others were better placed and he didn't want to

:44:42. > :44:57.make the same mistake again. That's a bad ball, cut out by

:44:58. > :45:00.Walcott. Bailey doing well. Coming to Lucas. The goalkeeper, Worner,

:45:01. > :45:20.doing very well. Arsenal throw in. Good to see that

:45:21. > :45:26.Sutton are throwing a couple of bodies forward, May and Eastmond are

:45:27. > :45:31.trying to join up with the Armero. There he is, Alexis Sanchez --

:45:32. > :45:36.Biamou. He has scored 20 goals this season and the centre of much

:45:37. > :45:52.activation about his future and his mood after the debacle in Munich.

:45:53. > :46:05.Well read by Oxlade-Chamberlain. Here's Deacon, Biamou in the middle.

:46:06. > :46:13.May getting forward. Gomis getting forward. Two, three step overs, and

:46:14. > :46:17.a good cross, just too high for Biamou. Behind by Monreal. Brilliant

:46:18. > :46:22.stuff from Roarie Deacon, that is what he can do. A moment of quality

:46:23. > :46:24.with the ball in the box, and you have to say that is excellent

:46:25. > :46:33.offending by Monreal, good disciplined work. Great stuff from

:46:34. > :46:39.Roarie Deacon who is chatting to the crowd here for more nice as he

:46:40. > :46:42.prepares to take this corner kick, Sutton's first of the game. They

:46:43. > :46:49.often have a late run out of the back post at corners for stop and it

:46:50. > :46:58.goes from Deacon. Up goes Collins! Well, there are the two big chances

:46:59. > :47:05.in the space of a minute. And he has it. What an opportunity this is,

:47:06. > :47:11.Ospina is all over the place of his ball comes into the box. Good

:47:12. > :47:18.strength by Collins, keeps his eye on the ball and just can't directed

:47:19. > :47:24.downwards. Ospina. You could argue that Bailey could have been found in

:47:25. > :47:30.Ospina but I don't think it would have been given, if it had gone in.

:47:31. > :47:31.I mean the foul, not the goal, I think the goal would have been

:47:32. > :47:44.given. There is a man with a medal or two,

:47:45. > :47:49.Arsenal's record ever appearance maker, David O'Leary, who finished

:47:50. > :47:56.his Arsenal career with an FA Cup winner's medal in 1993. Remember

:47:57. > :48:07.Andy Linighan, wasn't it, in the 120th minute against Sheffield

:48:08. > :48:20.Wednesday. May for Sutton. Shut out by Gabriel. Walcott. They have been

:48:21. > :48:33.excellent, the two centre-backs for Sutton, Beckwith and Collins. They

:48:34. > :48:37.have a good stand between them. -- good understanding. Biamou with a

:48:38. > :48:57.flick on, Gomis off after it, Gabriel just juggling a little bit.

:48:58. > :49:11.Bailey, you could see the idea, it was to find down. Cut out by Iwobi.

:49:12. > :49:21.-- it was to find Simon Downer. Reine-Adelaide.

:49:22. > :49:26.Gabriel charging in behind that never going to Richard. Any ball

:49:27. > :49:30.like that as we saw in the first half will always run out. You have

:49:31. > :49:33.to credit Arsenal, though, before the game were talking about how

:49:34. > :49:37.difficult this tie could be, especially mentally. They have

:49:38. > :49:40.handled the game with great professionalism, they have looked

:49:41. > :49:42.sharp, they have moved the ball quickly. They have come up against a

:49:43. > :50:06.tough opponent. Collins to Bailey. Won by

:50:07. > :50:08.Oxlade-Chamberlain. Lucas Perez has taken on and left Beckwith.

:50:09. > :50:14.Oxlade-Chamberlain and Walcott are in the middle. Lucas. Good ball.

:50:15. > :50:16.Amankwaah managed to get himself in front of Theo Walcott, and did

:50:17. > :50:23.really well to do so. Monreal, Oxlade-Chamberlain. And

:50:24. > :50:55.again. Lucas, good fit. -- good hit. A firm

:50:56. > :51:02.hit, not a particularly well directed one. Once again, good work

:51:03. > :51:10.by Arsenal, moving the ball, changing positions. Lucas has a wild

:51:11. > :51:15.strike in the end, the power, no accuracy. This is an excellent

:51:16. > :51:18.clearance by Amankwaah, learn from the earlier error where he did not

:51:19. > :51:25.track Walcott. Was not going to let him have any space, on that

:51:26. > :51:29.occasion. Arsenal don't play again for another 12 days. They were due

:51:30. > :51:34.to play Southampton next weekend, but they are at Wembley in that

:51:35. > :51:41.aforementioned EFL Cup final. So plenty of recovery time for Arsenal,

:51:42. > :51:44.before they go to Anfield in their next Premier League encounter.

:51:45. > :51:53.Here's Deacon! He has smashed the bar, nearly broke the bar! Not only

:51:54. > :51:57.did he hit it from 25 yards, he had it so well in rebound 25 yards!

:51:58. > :52:11.Iwobi charging through the middle. Granit Xhaka.

:52:12. > :52:16.Lucas Perez stepping away from Bailey, turning it square. Well out

:52:17. > :52:24.by Collins, because Walcott might have had a tap in.

:52:25. > :52:31.Here's Biamou. If Sutton do get a goal, you cannot say that they would

:52:32. > :52:36.be flattered by it, because they have had three or four chances, now.

:52:37. > :52:38.What a hit. The strike was one thing but the build-up play was

:52:39. > :52:48.exceptional to get into that position. And he hit that ball so

:52:49. > :52:51.clearly. It is a perfect strike. It comes back off the meat of the

:52:52. > :52:57.crossbar. Ospina is just there watching. Like the spectators behind

:52:58. > :53:02.the goal. He was not going to get anywhere near it. A wonderful

:53:03. > :53:13.strike, Roarie Deacon is very unlucky. The former Arsenal reserve

:53:14. > :53:15.team player. Strikes me as not a bad tally, but not good enough to keep

:53:16. > :54:13.him at the club. Covered by May, but at the expense

:54:14. > :54:21.of an Arsenal throw in. Getting ready is Bradley Hudson-Odoi. And

:54:22. > :54:24.U21 international for Ghana. The winger who is fit again after a calf

:54:25. > :54:38.injury. Had a loan spell at Maidstone. It goes the way of

:54:39. > :54:44.Saturn, the decision. -- the way of Sutton.

:54:45. > :54:52.A no-win situation really for Arsene Wenger. But at least they may not be

:54:53. > :54:56.too much to gain but at least he is avoiding the massive amount there

:54:57. > :54:59.was to lose. I think it says a lot about the mentality of the players

:55:00. > :55:05.from the start of the match, the Arsenal players have looked focused.

:55:06. > :55:10.Sutton have been a tough opponent. They have caused Arsenal are a few

:55:11. > :55:21.problems. Collins again. Nicky Bailey. Oxlade-Chamberlain to

:55:22. > :55:26.Reine-Adelaide, blocked by Bailey. A good run, this, by

:55:27. > :55:29.Oxlade-Chamberlain. Collins. Oxlade-Chamberlain in behind, they

:55:30. > :55:35.are queueing up in the middle but he couldn't find Theo Walcott. Iwobi,

:55:36. > :55:38.Lucas Perez, Theo Walcott all there. Everything about that was great from

:55:39. > :55:46.Oxlade-Chamberlain, until the final ball. It is the speed that gets

:55:47. > :55:50.under way from tiring Sutton team. The ball is actually disappointing.

:55:51. > :55:56.Complete lack of quality with that ball in. It was a simple ball across

:55:57. > :56:06.the box. It would have been another tap in for Walcott. Dean Beckwith

:56:07. > :56:15.coming off, not a massive surprise. Beckwith is off.

:56:16. > :56:24.And Spence comes on. And he will play at right back. Simon Downer

:56:25. > :56:25.will move from their back to centre-half, which she will be very

:56:26. > :56:44.comfortable with. So Dan Spence on. Dan Spence, one of

:56:45. > :56:48.those players interesting history, he spent 18 months at Glen Hoddle's

:56:49. > :56:59.Academy in Spain, for those players who have fallen through the net. He

:57:00. > :57:06.was originally at Reading. He is. Spence with the ball into the box.

:57:07. > :57:09.May arriving. Ospina came. It is a foul on Oxlade-Chamberlain. Almost

:57:10. > :57:16.the perfect introduction for the right back, Spence. What a ball in

:57:17. > :57:23.that was. In amongst the smoke bomb, Ospina had the bomb out to reach

:57:24. > :57:26.this. It was an excellent ball. Going away from Ospina forced to

:57:27. > :57:31.does well as the ball travelling away. They has got his eyes on the

:57:32. > :57:38.goal. This is it. Ospina gets a decent punch on it. Adam May, who

:57:39. > :57:47.had those two sites of Arsenal 's goal, comes off, and Bradley

:57:48. > :58:01.Hudson-Odoi comes on in his place. With 20 minutes to play,

:58:02. > :58:03.Hudson-Odoi. He gets 20 minutes. And he will play wide out on the

:58:04. > :58:41.left-hand side. Good challenge by Bailey. Hudson boy

:58:42. > :58:44.tried to be a little bit too adventurous full stop --

:58:45. > :59:34.Hudson-Odoi. Dan Spence. So Alexis sent shares is going to

:59:35. > :59:42.come on. Maitland-Niles, also. Reine-Adelaide is the first man

:59:43. > :59:44.coming off for Arsenal. Just below us, Simon Downer, who is now

:59:45. > :59:52.centre-back, just doing a few extra stretchers. Yeah, they are beginning

:59:53. > :00:00.to feel it, I would imagine. Alex Iwobi is also going to come. So

:00:01. > :00:03.Ainsley Maitland-Niles comes on, a youngster, 19-year-old from Ilford.

:00:04. > :00:09.Had a good loan spell at Ipswich. This will be his tenth appearance in

:00:10. > :00:18.Arsenal 's first team. That is his introduction. The second Arsenal

:00:19. > :00:22.change will need no introduction. Here comes Alexis Sanchez. Iwobi has

:00:23. > :00:36.made way. WHISTLE Talk about Downer stretching because

:00:37. > :00:41.he knew that Sanchez was coming on. Collins with the flick on.

:00:42. > :00:48.Oxlade-Chamberlain is under it. Maitland-Niles, straight into action

:00:49. > :00:51.for Arsenal. Can play centre midfield or right back actually.

:00:52. > :01:04.Centre midfield today. Gomis, showing that lovely footwork

:01:05. > :01:12.earlier. Decent ball into the box. Good delivery twice from Spence.

:01:13. > :01:23.Michael Oliver is happy for Arsenal to continue.

:01:24. > :01:34.Xhaka, almost dispossessed by Eastmond.

:01:35. > :01:39.Nicely to Oxlade-Chamberlain. Sanchez wanting the return, it came

:01:40. > :01:51.off Downer to Lucas. Give it to Sanchez, the Arsenal fans

:01:52. > :02:14.are calling. Biamou with the little flick, it was

:02:15. > :02:22.a good one. Deacon, running at Monreal.

:02:23. > :02:36.The backheel didn't come off from Monreal. Done well, Spence. Couple

:02:37. > :02:42.of decent balls into the box. I have to say that you think these guys are

:02:43. > :02:47.training twice a week and that's it, their fitness levels, they've done

:02:48. > :02:51.ever so well to keep going. 15 minutes to go, they'll be feeling it

:02:52. > :02:55.now, for sure. Nevertheless they won't want to come off because this

:02:56. > :03:03.is probably a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Sanchez, looking well

:03:04. > :03:11.offside but not given. Downer made the challenge and Amankwaah, the

:03:12. > :03:15.second one. Gomis, nice little move, but the pass was overhit from Gomis

:03:16. > :03:30.which was a shame. Gomis has won it from

:03:31. > :03:37.Oxlade-Chamberlain. Trying to find Biamou. Away by Holding for the

:03:38. > :03:43.throw. Oxlade-Chamberlain holding his hands in the air in apology.

:03:44. > :03:47.Gomis doing well to nick the ball off him, it was a good ball through

:03:48. > :03:55.as well. Holding wasn't sure what the keeper was doing, deciding to

:03:56. > :03:58.take things into his own hands and doing the safe option. I think

:03:59. > :04:03.Oxlade-Chamberlain has played exceptionally well in the

:04:04. > :04:11.second-half but that was big error. Collins didn't quite make the header

:04:12. > :04:17.needed to Gomis. Maitland-Niles, to safety. Downer watching it carefully

:04:18. > :04:40.and dealing with it. Arsenal's record FA Cup win, by the

:04:41. > :04:46.way, 11th-1 against Darwin. I don't think there was ever much chance of

:04:47. > :04:48.them frightening that, especially now -- threatening that. That was

:04:49. > :05:00.1932. Collins, giving it away to Walcott.

:05:01. > :05:08.Walcott skipping away from Eastmond, but not from Collins. Nice flick,

:05:09. > :05:14.Eastmond over the top. Joining the attack. Stretching to try and win it

:05:15. > :05:19.from Gabriel. Maitland-Niles tidying up for Arsenal, who have dealt with

:05:20. > :05:34.that little flutter of nervousness. Sanchez chasing his own pass that

:05:35. > :05:46.had evaded Lucas and its an Arsenal corner. Sutton considering a third

:05:47. > :05:49.change for a while, the substitute Dan Fitchett, a striker, has sat

:05:50. > :05:58.back down. Not coming on when there's a corner to defend. Xhaka's

:05:59. > :06:33.Corner, that's a good header from a Bailey.

:06:34. > :06:40.The Sutton United Assistant Manager can be heard barking destruction is

:06:41. > :06:47.out, Ian Baird, the former Southampton and Leeds man, this

:06:48. > :06:50.system here. Trying to get them up the pitch, Steve, keep them going.

:06:51. > :07:14.-- the assistant year. That's a good ball, Lucas won't

:07:15. > :07:40.reach it. Walcott wanting the return.

:07:41. > :07:53.Dangerous. Worner getting down well to his left.

:07:54. > :08:04.Lovely feet, Alexis Sanchez, going for the chip. Lovely idea. Couldn't

:08:05. > :08:09.convert. This is audacious, this attempt. Excellent take bite Sanchez

:08:10. > :08:14.as the ball is played to him. Trying to stand it up to the far post.

:08:15. > :08:21.Oxlade-Chamberlain's effort. Worner does well because that goes through

:08:22. > :08:27.a couple of bodies. Dan Fitchett, coming on for the last nine minutes,

:08:28. > :08:34.plus added time. He's a striker, Fitchett. Formerly of Wycombe and

:08:35. > :08:38.Aldershot. Last season became the first Sutton United player to score

:08:39. > :08:46.more than 20 goals in a league season, in 15 years. Coming on for

:08:47. > :08:52.Biamou. It was a promotion season for Sutton, this time last year they

:08:53. > :09:00.played in the National League South. That is Wayne Shaw, the goalkeeping

:09:01. > :09:04.coach, and substitute goalkeeper. If Worner is injured, Wayne Shaw will

:09:05. > :09:13.come on. I think Sutton have made their changes and Wayne Shaw has

:09:14. > :09:19.decided that now is the time... To get stuck into a pie, save in the

:09:20. > :09:27.knowledge that whatever happens, he won't be coming on. -- safe in the

:09:28. > :09:34.knowledge. What would Arsene Wenger say? Banned from the pre-match, let

:09:35. > :09:38.alone during the match! I don't know what Wenger would say, eating one of

:09:39. > :09:43.those ever, let alone on the pitch. At least he's keeping his hydration

:09:44. > :09:47.levels up. A great guy, a Southampton youth team player, he

:09:48. > :09:51.was a forward in those days. A great picture of that Southampton youth

:09:52. > :09:58.team with Wayne Shaw standing next to Alan Shearer.

:09:59. > :10:10.That was Jamie Collins pushing Alexis Sanchez over. Michael Oliver,

:10:11. > :10:14.under Premier League rules might well book Jamie Collins for that but

:10:15. > :10:18.under these circumstances he's going to let the southern captain off. A

:10:19. > :10:26.bit silly. He gave him a pass, the referee was very generous. -- Sutton

:10:27. > :11:01.captain off. Nice to see a centre-half wedding to

:11:02. > :11:07.go forward but he lost the ball. -- willing to go forward. Fitchett

:11:08. > :11:12.having his shirt pulled by Maitland-Niles. Across the face of

:11:13. > :11:16.goal. Fitted watched it, couldn't reach it but it is a corner. -- Dan

:11:17. > :11:25.Fitchett watched it. He could have got on the end of it. It was a poor

:11:26. > :11:28.pass, Holding from midfield into defence. If Dan Fitchett had taken

:11:29. > :11:37.the chance, he could have got a goal back. If they were to get one now,

:11:38. > :11:44.five minutes plus added time to go, suddenly Arsenal are back out of

:11:45. > :11:48.their comfort zone. But it's a big if. Deacon with the corner kick,

:11:49. > :11:57.Collins at the back post again and that's where it goes. Collins has

:11:58. > :12:01.done the Leeds gone down, it could be his knee or crab. -- Collins has

:12:02. > :12:15.gone down. Xhaka forward, that was a poor ball,

:12:16. > :12:23.Eastmond in the way for Sutton. Collins is consumed by cramp. Dan

:12:24. > :12:30.Fitchett mistimed his job and handled it inadvertently. You'd

:12:31. > :12:36.never know that Sutton's manager Paul Doswell was a Southampton fan,

:12:37. > :12:40.would you? Two of the greats, Laurie McMenemy, the last manager to win a

:12:41. > :12:49.major trophy for Southampton, in 1976, beating Manchester United, and

:12:50. > :12:55.Bobby Stokes scoring, 1-0. And David Coleman. They will play Manchester

:12:56. > :13:04.United next weekend in the EFL Cup final. And Matt Le Tissier. One of

:13:05. > :13:12.your lot. That's right. Downer is down with a lot of cramp. He went up

:13:13. > :13:19.for the set piece and when he landed, you could see his left calf

:13:20. > :13:27.cramping up. He can come off but they'd be down to ten men. They will

:13:28. > :13:28.work it out. That's painful. The horrible thing about cramp, it

:13:29. > :13:54.normally comes back at about 3am. He's back on the pitch. Not sure

:13:55. > :14:05.that Downer will be making many more forward runs.

:14:06. > :14:19.The ball from Sanchez which Lucas can't get on the end of. Well, it's

:14:20. > :14:23.been a wonderful, fantastic mind-boggling run from Sutton

:14:24. > :14:26.United, all the way from Forest Green Rovers back in October,

:14:27. > :14:30.through Dartford, Cheltenham, Wimbledon in a replay, Leeds United

:14:31. > :14:41.and now Arsenal. But they will be passing the non-league back on --

:14:42. > :14:45.the non-league baton to Lincoln City who will be going to the Emirates in

:14:46. > :14:55.the last eight of the cup, barring, I suppose you have to say, something

:14:56. > :15:05.extraordinary. At this stage, that's an understatement. You can't help

:15:06. > :15:09.hoping that Sutton can get one. The place would absolutely love it.

:15:10. > :15:15.That's nice, Walcott flowing over the pitch into the figure of Jamie

:15:16. > :15:28.Collins, who is played well again at the back.

:15:29. > :15:35.Here they come. Oxlade-Chamberlain, it was won by Lucas, playing it

:15:36. > :15:43.through to Alexis Sanchez. Couldn't quite take it in his stride. Scooped

:15:44. > :15:49.up towards Lucas, and put behind by Amankwaah, as Lucas, I think, was

:15:50. > :15:52.just teeing up a spectacular volley. He had that in his sights, you could

:15:53. > :15:58.see him just getting his body ready to smash that into the net, but

:15:59. > :16:01.Amankwaah doing wet. I think that Sutton backline, they have coped

:16:02. > :16:06.with Arsenal as best they can, they have been tremendous. Hit by

:16:07. > :16:13.Gabriel, it hit Walcott, and then wide from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

:16:14. > :16:23.And I think they are going to have learned, this team, they will have

:16:24. > :16:27.learned so much this evening. Well, they have threatened to score the

:16:28. > :16:32.goal, no one more so than Roarie Deacon with that spectacular shot,

:16:33. > :16:38.which smashed back off the crossbar. He is your Man of the Match. He is.

:16:39. > :16:44.The romance of the cup. He is on the losing team but his workrate, his

:16:45. > :16:47.ability, he has been positive in possession. As you rightly say, that

:16:48. > :16:53.tremendous effort that came flying back off the crossbar. Definitely

:16:54. > :17:09.feel that he is worthy of Man of the Match. Alexis Sanchez.

:17:10. > :17:16.Let's give Arsenal credit come too. They have done everything right,

:17:17. > :17:23.from using the dressing rooms, which some said they wouldn't, to taking

:17:24. > :17:26.the game seriously, to bringing a strong team, getting Alexis Sanchez

:17:27. > :17:30.on the pitch, and most importantly for Arsene Wenger, winning the title

:17:31. > :17:33.stop that's right, the manner in which they have performed shows

:17:34. > :17:39.their professionalism, good mentality, good attitude. They

:17:40. > :17:44.haven't taken anything for granted in this game. There have always

:17:45. > :17:50.looked to create chances. They have had to be patient as well. And

:17:51. > :17:53.Sutton have provided them with plenty of problems during the course

:17:54. > :17:58.of 90 minutes. They had to do with them as well, both in and out of

:17:59. > :18:10.possession. Bailey away to Amankwaah. Amankwaah in to Fitchett.

:18:11. > :18:17.Deacon. Wouldn't sit down for him. Now surrounded by three. It has come

:18:18. > :18:21.off Monreal, it is a corner, and 5013 people, minus the Arsenal fans,

:18:22. > :18:28.maybe even some of the Arsenal fans are thinking, go on. In it comes.

:18:29. > :18:35.Headed out. Ack in by Simon Downer, and that is through to Ospina. He

:18:36. > :18:40.has done well to stay on the pitch, Simon Downer, given the cramped he

:18:41. > :18:51.had. Flag up on the far side against Lucas.

:18:52. > :18:57.Apart from the fact there is not a blade of grass here at Gander Green

:18:58. > :19:03.Lane, they have done grass-roots football proud. But one advantage of

:19:04. > :19:08.having a 3G pitch is it doesn't matter if the whole crowd run on at

:19:09. > :19:12.the end of the game, and I imagine a fair few well, because whatever the

:19:13. > :19:17.result, it is an occasion to celebrate, a cup run to remember.

:19:18. > :19:21.And a team and a manager to savour. On the term, Lucas Perez. Great

:19:22. > :19:40.block by the ever ready Jamie Collins. Alexis Sanchez.

:19:41. > :19:44.Every one of those Sutton players could be proud of the performance

:19:45. > :19:51.tonight. Paul Boswell said before the night he did not want any of his

:19:52. > :19:58.players to have any regrets -- Paul Doswell. They have been magnificent

:19:59. > :20:05.for their team this evening. Still smiling, and that is very good to

:20:06. > :20:09.see. Pride. Yep. Huge pride, and rightly so.

:20:10. > :20:16.He paid for this page, Paul Doswell. I have heard of people taking the

:20:17. > :20:20.ball home, he can take the pitch home. WHISTLE

:20:21. > :20:24.But there it is. Arsene Wenger's Arsenal are through to the last

:20:25. > :20:28.eight. The bat on his past from the non-league and the National League

:20:29. > :20:32.to Lincoln City, who will go to the Emirates in the last eight of the FA

:20:33. > :20:37.Cup. Sutton's adventure, which has taken them through the looking glass

:20:38. > :20:42.out from platform nine and three quarters and through the back of the

:20:43. > :20:44.wardrobe, has come to an end. The dreams are over, but what memories.

:20:45. > :21:04.Sutton United 0- one Great praise must go to Sutton.

:21:05. > :21:06.Terrific performance, valiant effort, 1 million miles from any

:21:07. > :21:12.kind of humiliation whatsoever at this stage of the competition. We

:21:13. > :21:19.can hear from the manager of Sutton with Dan Walker. Brendan Rogers

:21:20. > :21:26.quite a few fans on the pitch, Paul, celebrating not what has been the

:21:27. > :21:29.dream of the -- thanks. It was a dream to watch my team play against

:21:30. > :21:35.Arsenal. The quality they put out as well showed exactly what was at

:21:36. > :21:40.stake, and very proud. That is the overriding emotion. Roarie Deacon

:21:41. > :21:45.hit the bar, Jamie had a chance from six yards out and Adam had a chance

:21:46. > :21:48.from six yards out. We had three very presentable chances, and

:21:49. > :21:52.disappointed we could not get a goal for the supporters here. They saw

:21:53. > :21:55.the side that has given everything we could have given and the

:21:56. > :22:03.overriding emotion is so proud. Let's bring in Roarie Deacon. You

:22:04. > :22:12.came so close, what a shock, what an effort. We had a good bit of play in

:22:13. > :22:16.the midfield. A lovely set. I hit it and unfortunately it hit the bar.

:22:17. > :22:19.What was it like from a player 's perspective, there was a wonderful

:22:20. > :22:24.moment when Alexis Sanchez came on for Arsenal, your manager pointed at

:22:25. > :22:26.Sanchez, looked round at the crowd and laugh, you are begins to a

:22:27. > :22:31.Premier League side who in their last game took on Bayern Munich.

:22:32. > :22:35.Obviously they have world-class players and thankfully a few of them

:22:36. > :22:39.were out and playing against us. That is the spirit for us. To play

:22:40. > :22:45.against a team like Arsenal is fantastic. It was our cup final

:22:46. > :22:49.today. Exactly. These players have done it so proud, they will go down

:22:50. > :22:53.in history and this little lad here, I will publicly say it can he needs

:22:54. > :22:56.to be playing at a better level of football. I don't understand how

:22:57. > :23:01.someone has not come in from League 1 and taken him, because on his day

:23:02. > :23:05.he is more than good enough today and even more. A word about not only

:23:06. > :23:09.Roarie but the rest of your players, and these thousands of fans, who

:23:10. > :23:12.have turned up against Wimbledon, against Leeds, and followed you

:23:13. > :23:21.around the country in this amazing run in the FA Cup. The support we

:23:22. > :23:23.have had throughout has been amazing, had started 800 against

:23:24. > :23:26.Forest Green and ended up three lots of 5000 sell-outs. It is all about

:23:27. > :23:29.the players will stop they have been magnificent. So have the volunteers

:23:30. > :23:32.will stop they have given up their Sundays to sell the tickets.

:23:33. > :23:36.Everyone is a volunteer, remember that. We are not a League 2 club in

:23:37. > :23:41.the National League, we are a traditional non-league club. But I

:23:42. > :23:47.tell you what, Lincoln and Sutton have done our competition very

:23:48. > :23:50.proud. I hope every best wishes to Danny Amendola it. Go and have your

:23:51. > :23:53.data in the sun as we have had today. It is one of the best

:23:54. > :24:01.experiences you ever will have, and good luck to them as welcome why

:24:02. > :24:05.not? Very gracious of you. -- good luck to Danny and Nick. Paul Doswell

:24:06. > :24:14.and Roarie Deacon. Well done to both of them. There are

:24:15. > :24:19.some people on the pitch, you think it all over, and it is for those

:24:20. > :24:22.players. These Sutton players, but they have given us a number of

:24:23. > :24:28.thrills throughout the season, and performed to reflect leave the

:24:29. > :24:32.season. Let's put things into perspective, they are 17th in the

:24:33. > :24:34.National League. When you look where Arsenal are. The manager is

:24:35. > :24:39.absolutely right when he says how proud he is at his players, how

:24:40. > :24:43.proud he is of the area, all the support is coming along to that. It

:24:44. > :24:47.has been one hell of a run that started off in October, so it has

:24:48. > :24:53.been brilliant. Some very good individual performances. You wonder,

:24:54. > :24:57.looking at Deacon, as the game failed him almost, because he should

:24:58. > :25:00.be playing at a higher level. I wasn't sure at the beginning few was

:25:01. > :25:04.left footed or right footed. Great quality with both feet. He was

:25:05. > :25:08.really unlucky with that shot that hit the bar. One or two close

:25:09. > :25:11.efforts, particularly in the second half of it was not quite to be. It

:25:12. > :25:15.would have been lovely fall the supporters to cheer a goal. Even I

:25:16. > :25:19.was hoping he would score just to lift things a little bit. That was

:25:20. > :25:24.his left foot. He whips it across the box. Great quality on it, the

:25:25. > :25:28.defending from Arsenal in the end. This is the header from Collins. He

:25:29. > :25:36.won't believe this. When his is it later. He was excellent as well. He

:25:37. > :25:40.was. Macau he rises, just can't edit on target. Some very positive

:25:41. > :25:45.performances out there. The manager said he was proud of them all and

:25:46. > :25:50.absolutely right. What a strike, the keeper doesn't even see it. Such a

:25:51. > :25:55.shame to stop it would have been right up there with contenders for

:25:56. > :25:59.goal of the season. A great track, and everyone deserves that tonight,

:26:00. > :26:08.we were hoping they would just get one goal, -- a great strike. Some

:26:09. > :26:12.positive performances, Gomis, May. Job done for Arsenal, it is kind of

:26:13. > :26:15.a no-win game even if you do win in a way, but they got the job done and

:26:16. > :26:19.it was Theo Walcott with his hundredth goal for Arsenal that

:26:20. > :26:25.Gildart. Good movement down the left, Monreal getting to the byline

:26:26. > :26:30.that killed it. It was kind of like relentless from them. Attack versus

:26:31. > :26:35.defence almost. It was a matter of time before Arsenal scored that

:26:36. > :26:39.second goal. It is just that they move that ball a little bit too

:26:40. > :26:44.quick for them. That is when Sutton could not cope with them. We can see

:26:45. > :26:49.Arsene Wenger celebrating. Let's hear from him.

:26:50. > :26:54.We spoke to before the game, is that a case of job done, you came to a

:26:55. > :26:58.great ground. I know you enjoyed coming in here and you will enjoy

:26:59. > :27:03.living as well. It is different to get in here, it is so crowded down

:27:04. > :27:06.there. We did the job. It is very different, I must say, on this kind

:27:07. > :27:14.of pitch. It was not an easy game, at all. We have to give them credit.

:27:15. > :27:19.Every mistake we made technically they took advantage of it, and on

:27:20. > :27:25.this pitch, every little technical movement that is not 100%, you lose

:27:26. > :27:28.the ball. They played very well. Where they better than you expected

:27:29. > :27:36.them to be, not in a patronising way? Honestly, yes. Which is a great

:27:37. > :27:41.credit to them, Arsene. Yes, of course, because it is basically

:27:42. > :27:47.division five. When I arrived here maybe 20 years ago in division five

:27:48. > :27:51.they are not as fit as they are today, they did not crop at all. You

:27:52. > :27:55.would expect them to drop much more physically. They've remained

:27:56. > :27:59.absolutely focused, organised, they had a huge desire in their game. I

:28:00. > :28:04.would say if we were not mentally prepared, we would not have gone

:28:05. > :28:07.through today. After all the questions and speculations after the

:28:08. > :28:12.Bayern Munich game, are you able to enjoy a game like this because it

:28:13. > :28:16.reminds you of what football is about. No, I don't enjoy tonight,

:28:17. > :28:22.because we had absolutely just to do the job, and you know, it is tricky.

:28:23. > :28:28.So I thought it was important for the confidence of the players, as

:28:29. > :28:32.well, and as well, let's not forget at Bayern Munich we were 1-1 at

:28:33. > :28:36.half-time and in the second half it all went wrong. So even today at

:28:37. > :28:41.half-time, we were 1-0 up and was not finished. Thank you for talking

:28:42. > :28:45.to us, enjoy another non-league side of the next round, Lincoln.

:28:46. > :28:48.Arsenal go through. Lots of great memories. And. A couple of moments

:28:49. > :28:57.to pick out. The players have said they wanted

:28:58. > :29:00.the best players on the pitch from Arsenal, so I'm sure they would be

:29:01. > :29:04.delighted to see the come on and they did not disappoint with the

:29:05. > :29:09.tackles. Something for them to remember. And that is magical. I

:29:10. > :29:14.told you he liked his pies or his burgers, didn't I? Our substitute

:29:15. > :29:18.had just come on at that point, by the way. That is it from ask a

:29:19. > :29:26.disaster that will go through but it is Sutton who will keep the

:29:27. > :29:30.memories. Good night. COMMENTATOR: If football still has a place,
