Wenger looking forward


The Londoners lost 2-1 to Birmingham in Sunday's showpiece as a calamitous late mix-up between Wojciech Szczesny and Laurent Koscielny handed the silverware to Alex McLeish's team.

Arsenal had kicked off the match in a desperate frame of mind to end a trophy drought that stretches back to 2005 and defeat at Wembley was therefore a massive setback.

But the Premier League title is still very much within reach, while Wednesday sees and an FA Cup fifth-round replay against Leyton Orient before next week's UEFA Champions League second leg against Barcelona in Spain.

And, with a Treble still a possibility, Wenger does not want his players to be critically crestfallen, as the Frenchman said: "It is a massive disappointment for the team, but we have massive challenges in front of us.
