Intro:

Reaction from Arsene Wenger after FA Cup holders Arsenal went through to the fifth round after a 3-2 win over Brighton and Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium.

Script:

Amex Stadium, Brighton, England, UK. 25 January 2015.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Arsene Wenger, Arsenal manager:  (about being installed as favourites to retain the FA Cup)

"With yesterday's results you would be a bit cautious (about being favourites), the cup is the cup and what you want is the focus on the next round and to go through. We have good experience from last season to know that every round is different, and the most difficult games were not especially the most expected ones last season. So let's wait for the (fifth round) draw. Of course we fight and we want to retain our cup, but it's too long to go to say that."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Arsene Wenger, Arsenal manager:  (about glut of upsets focused Arsenal's minds ahead of their Brighton clash)

"We have good momentum, but let's keep the urgency level very high. We know how quickly the momentum can die in football if you drop a little bit your quality."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Arsene Wenger, Arsenal manager:

"I think the results yesterday were a big subconscious warning for us, it wakes you up a bit, and you think 'okay it's a Championship team', but at the lower level now the players are prepared. They come out of the academies, do not make it in the Premier League, but they are not far from it; they can maintain the pace for 90 minutes and in these kinds of ties they never give up. And you look even in League One, when you look at the games, teams play good football and if you're not ready you can lose."
