MESSING ROOM Arsenal accused of lack of respect after leaving non-league Sutton United’s away changing room in a tip – and they even left milk on the radiator!
ARSENAL left their humble Sutton changing room in a tip after their FA Cup triumph last night.
The Gunners – who are used to the plush surroundings of their state-of-the-art Emirates facilities – had to use the non-league club’s cramped away area to get ready.
But after winning 2-0 through goals from Lucas Perez and Theo Walcott, the Gunners seemed to forget to clean up after themselves.
Half-empty drinks and toilet roll littered the floor while a bottle of milk was randomly left on top of a radiator.
And Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson took to Twitter to say she would have made the Arsenal players get back off the coach and clean up.
But the Paralympic Gold medalist's view was greeted with a backlash from Gunners supporters.
There were rumours before the game the Gunners would refuse to use the basic area to get changed in.
However, Arsene Wenger's men did use the facilities provided - but did not allow BBC cameras into their dressing room like their opponents did.
But Wenger seemed to enjoy the novelty of playing in surroundings unfamiliar to most of his multi-millionaire players.
The Arsenal boss said: "The changing rooms for me were fantastic – the closer you are, the more united you are when you go out there."

Walcott netted his 100th goal for the Gunners in last nights victory and showed his class by going into the Sutton changing rooms after the match to sign shirts for the players.
The Gunners will also give the National League side a donation of £50,000 to help the club build classrooms and make improvements to facilities.
