Arsène Wenger insists the FA Cup is a major priority for him this season. Aston Villa are Arsenal’s fourth-round opponents at Emirates Stadium on Sunday and the Arsenal boss says his desire to lift the trophy remains as fierce as ever.
“If you look at my record, you will see the FA Cup is important for me,” he said. “If you look at the record of all the other teams, I think our record is better than all of them over the past 15 years. Even last year we went for four trophies. How many teams go for four trophies this season? Nobody. I think we always try to go for everything and for a long, long time last year we went for trophies late in the season. Still we will try to do the same and try to win the FA Cup [this year].”

wenger is in denial, he said in december it would be foolish to lose the title because of the failure to bring in a left back. well 9 points dropped in 3 matches since he had a chance to prove he was no fool, shouts loud enough for me.
enough of this foolishness, saying we dont need a left back, stop being stubborn and show the fans some respect otherwise you will get none in return. we have paid our season ticket money on time, now its time to deliver some trophies on time, otherwise just like the club questioned me in june over my recent lack of funds we will have every right to question you on your recent achievements.
he is saying today we have 4 players who can play left back, one is so injury proned he is fast becoming the new diaby, another is built like a fridge freezer and was not exactly fit when he was playing he is also out till march, another has only just returned to training from a broken leg and happens to be our first choice right back and the final one our captain has missed far more matches than he has played in the last 2 and a half season and also happens to be our best centre back. meanwhile we after missing out on enrique in the summer, he has now missed out taiwo and looks set to snub cissokho………….nice work you fool
wenger has to react fastly to injuries sustained by players.Maybe we should work on our medical crew nd improve their loyalty to d club.Again Wenger should pls do evrytin in his possible best to win d FA cup dis season cos I think its still d only visible cup we can win this season.
