Arsenal boss Wenger wants FA Cup replays to stay

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists FA Cup replays should stay.

Wenger takes his Arsenal side to Nottingham Forest determined to fight for the second chance that an FA Cup replay gives ALL clubs.

"Many people want to cut it, but I am not in favour," he stressed. "If you gave me the choice of whether to go out or to replay I'd still want to replay."

What's more he believes that replays are one of the reasons for that success in the competition.

"They helped us a little bit to win this trophy, and we have a squad who can deal with that," he said.
