Arsenal are running late for their FA Cup clash after a Blackpool supporter decided sat on their team bus.
The home fan pulled off the publicity stunt at the Gunners' team hotel meaning they could not depart for Bloomfield Road.


The third round clash, which is due to kick-off at 17:30, could now be delayed.
Police were pictured at the scene and the supporter initially refused to move. He was eventually talked down so Arsenal could depart for the televised clash.
It has been reported that the fan was protesting against Blackpool owner Owen Oysten.
