Why Liverpool fans should support Arsenal, not Sutton United, this evening

February 20 11:03 2017

Since their FA Cup heroics, Sutton have failed to win with one draw and three successive defeats.

Each winning club will receive £360,000 from The FA prize fund.

“But we know that if we play half decent, if we can impose our game, we have a chance”. “Sometimes you get knocked down and you have to pick yourself up and go again and that’s what I have been doing here at Sutton”.

Although, imagine if we witnessed an all-non league quarter-final and then a non-league side in the semi-finals?!

“The people who feel strongly about this have not been treated well by the club, that is for sure”.

Sutton 0-4 Arsenal: Obviously everyone is expecting Arsenal to win and it would probably be the greatest shock in the history of football if we lost.

But Pochettino was keen to end a tough week with a win following defeats to Liverpool and Belgian side Gent in the Europa League so he fielded nearly a full strength side and was rewarded by a Harry Kane hat-trick in a 3-0 victory over Fulham. “I did the same at Eastleigh, all the stuff I brought to Eastleigh I brought here”, he said.

“It’s not the same because it’s a dry pitch and I’ve heard that Sutton have a wet pitch, they water it before the game so it’ll be much quicker”, he said.

“It’s insane. A non-league side in the quarter-finals in modern football, it’s unheard of”, said Raggett. It’s going to have to be one where they’re thinking: “‘Ah, I don’t really want to come to Sutton and play this on a Monday night.’ No one fancies going to a non-league team, really“. We then get drawn against Wimbledon, a local derby.

The FA Cup is littered with giant-killings over the years, and it is worth remembering that Sutton beat Leeds United in the last round, and that is all part of the magic of the competition, as long as it doesn’t happen to your team!

“Jamie’s the nearest we’ve got to a classic non-league player”.

“I’ve always seen the future in a positive way”. But with both Arsene Wenger and the world’s oldest association cup competition fighting for modern day credibility, something has got to give on the minnows’ third generation playing surface. But, manager Paul Doswell rested 7 of his players in their last fixture in order to keep them fresh for tonight’s fixture. They were a League Two side as recently as 2011 when Sutton were competing in the seventh-tier Isthmian League.
