Arteta spoke with the media after the 1-0 defeat as Arsenal start to think about what their priorities are in a season where their only real chance fo winning a trophy now stems from the Europa League.  .......Read more here.....

It’s time to turn our attention back over to the FA Cup as Arsenal prepare for a scintillating fourth round tie against fellow Premier League side Southampton on the south coast. They will be battling it out for the right to move into the fifth round, aka the last 16, where they will meet the winner of tonight’s highly-anticipated Chorley vs Wolves game.

As soon as Arsenal were able to dispatch of Newcastle United in the third round of the FA Cup, fans were already adjusting to the news that the draw for the fourth round – as well as the fifth round – had been made.

The painful run that Arsenal Football Club were on just a few weeks ago now feels like a distant memory after the Gunners made it four wins in a row last night with a nice win over Newcastle United in the FA Cup.

Arsenal’s defence of their FA Cup crown will begin tonight as they prepare to host Newcastle United in a third round clash at the Emirates.

Mikel Arteta is probably feeling pretty good about himself after guiding Arsenal to three straight victories, and as he attempts to try and make it four, the Spaniard has taken the time to speak with the media about this tie.  .......Read more here.....

Another weekend, another set of fixtures – but this time, the focus will be on the FA Cup as opposed to the Premier League with Arsenal attempting to defend their trophy once again. Mikel Arteta’s men have been through their fair share of ups and downs so far this season, and that trend is probably going to continue as we venture through these strange times.

If Manchester City are considered to be the kings of the Carabao Cup, then the same has to be said for Arsenal with regards to the FA Cup. Even with the club supposedly being in their worst state for years under Mikel Arteta, the Spaniard still has two pieces of silverware to his name at the Emirates – the Community Shield and last season’s FA Cup.

The ‘magic’ of the cup is something that has served as a topic of great discussion over the last few years with many believing it isn’t quite as important as it once was. Even if that’s the case, winning the whole thing should still be viewed as an accomplishment that is worth celebrating.  .......Read more here.....

Nobody thought they could do it, but when it mattered the most, Arsenal pulled a rabbit out of the hat and beat Manchester City to progress into the final of the FA Cup. After this monumental win, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta spoke to the media as the club looks ahead to another trip to Wembley.

On trusting the process:
Yes, we are really happy for what happened in the last four or five days, to beat probably the best two teams in Europe is not an easy thing to do.
