Touch of class from AW when people say foreigners don't respect FA Cup and football stinks.
"But it was during our chat that I was given the impression that he brought on Alexis Sanchez late on in the tie because he knew what it would mean to us and all the fans that were watching.
"I know the decision to bring him on surprised a few, but I thought it was a real touch of class.
"I was sitting up in the stands at the time and our manager Paul Doswell came out of the dug-out, looked at me and pointed at Sanchez coming on. The look on his face said it all."

Yes nice touch, pity we didn't have a swopsy with them at the start of the game. Still theo went in the dressing room after and signed a few shirts.

I'm sure either the Sutton Manager or chairman came out after the game and said Arsenal were giving them £50,000.

Yep, that was the £50,000 Wenger won betting on their reserve keeper eating a meat pie in dugout 😃.

I don't think anyone has ever suggested Arsene wasn't a nice person SY mate.
He does and says some very honourable things, much like offering Sheffield UTD a replay when we were less than sportsman like on the field in the fa cup a few years back.
If the premier league was won by being nice Pelgrini would still be at city and Leicester wouldn't be in a religation battle but it's sporting achievements on the field that win titles not sporting achievements off it mate.
Their are popularity competitions and their sporting competions and although the pinicle is to win both we shouldn't confuse the two.

No confusion - just making a valid comment. Everyone was quick to jump on the guy for bringing Sanchez on and for things he has done or not done.
Thought it right to show balance as it seems to be Wenger Open Season at present.
