Arteta keen for more Wembley success with Arsenal

Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta is looking forward to tomorrow's Community Shield with Manchester City.

Arteta has happy memories of Wembley after lifting the FA Cup there three months ago, and the Spanish midfielder wants to produce another "moment of happiness" this weekend.

"It does [feel like a long time ago] but it was a really nice feeling and a big relief," he said.

"All the Arsenal fans deserved that day because they have been waiting for such a long time and the support they have been giving to the team and the club has been tremendous.

"I was so happy we could produce a moment of happiness to all of them and on the following day when we were on the bus. We saw that all those fans have been waiting for that time to come.

"I was so pleased to give them a little piece because this has to be the start. Arsenal has to be fighting for bigger trophies and have bigger aims. That has to be a consistent thing."
