'I’ll be surprised if Tony Adams’ suit doesn’t have its own Twitter account by the final whistle'

And so eventually, despite the attempts of a man sitting on top of their team bus, Arsenal arrived at Bloomfield Road for their FA Cup Third Round tie with Blackpool on Saturday evening. Also in attendance was former captain Tony Adams, whose choice of suit - an eye-catching pastel blue colour - as he appeared as a pundit on BT Sport's coverage of the game certainly sparked a reaction on social media.

So bold, it helped Adams' top the UK Twitter trends for the entirety of the game.
