Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said he is
determined to enjoy another successful year in
the FA Cup and has set his sights on defending the
trophy the club won last May.
The Gunners came back from two goals down
against Sunday's opponent in last year's final,
with Aaron Ramsey scoring an injury-time winner
to end Arsenal's nine-year wait for silverware.
"We want another cup run and we want to, if
possible, keep the trophy. We have won it five times
in my period in charge, so that means we know the
importance that it has," said the Frenchman.
"It is a great memory, but we have a big job to do
on Sunday and after [more games in] the Premier
League, then we have the Champions League.
"What is for sure is that we have room for
improvement and we have to manage to do that
quickly."
The Arsenal boss insisted he would not have left
the club had they not beaten Hull at Wembley last
year.
"Walk away? No. I have just won my 600th game
out of 1,000 - that means I have won 60% of the
games and after 18 years, you would not be serious
to walk away for losing one game," added the
Frenchman.
"I do my job as well as I can and I respect my
contract. It [the suggestion he would leave] was
because we didn't win a trophy for years and
people want that."
Hull boss Steve Bruce says he will "count up the
numbers" before selecting his team.
"There were a lot of tired bodies after the Everton
game and it was our physical work-rate that was
the difference in that game. We had energy about
us that Everton struggled with,"
"Let's not forget that the FA Cup was magical for
us last season. We couldn't have picked a much
more difficult tie to start with this time -
especially after playing three games in six days -
and I will freshen the side up.
"We'll see what we can do and hopefully we'll go
there and give them a good game."
