Mikel Arteta spoke to the media on Arsenal's FA Cup parade. This is what he had to say:
on the support…
It’s amazing. The weather is not helping today unfortunately but people still made the effort to come and join us, so we’re really happy to be here again.
on a winning habit…
It took some time to get going but now we have created some momentum. Hopefully we have many more to come.
on lifting the FA Cup…
Per is a gentleman. I thought it was his time to go and lift it but he asked me to go upstairs and I’m very grateful. It was a pleasure.
on how good Arsenal can be…
We have bigger ambitions and I think we have the quality and everything needed to go bigger and bigger. Hopefully we can do that in the next few seasons.
on waiting for a long time…
More than that, we’ve won it for the fans. They’ve been supporting us through difficult times and now it’s time to enjoy it. They have to take that momentum and really enjoy it because they deserve it.
on the biggest cup-winning margin in 20 years…
It’s amazing. We made history by winning the FA Cup more than any other team in England, so we are getting there.
