Sutton coach Doswell: 'James Bond' Arsenal security shows how strange football is

Sutton United manager Paul Doswell was reminded of the huge gulf between top level football and non-league football as his side played hosts to Arsenal in the FA Cup fifth-round on Monday.

Doswell found the media attention attracted by the game 'bizarre', and he also took a jibe at the security details of the opposition.

"Arsenal walked in with bodyguards," Doswell said.

"My lads were driving round their bodyguards to get out. They took over the tunnel.

"It was bizarre to be honest seeing James Bond security around us. It seemed safe around here to me.

"Very strange the way football has gone."
