Wenger: The FA Cup is still special for me

Manager Arsène Wenger has once again reiterated how special the FA Cup is to him.

Many feel that the FA Cup has lost its romance with the bigger clubs focusing on the domestic league and European success.

This time, Wenger was responding to comments from Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp which seemed to devalue the competition.

Wenger said: "Harry Redknapp is responsible for Tottenham and I leave him with his statements.

"I personally think that the question of whether the competition has been devalued has been asked for years and still everybody fights to be at Wembley.

"It can be that some clubs have different priorities like Tottenham at the moment. They might have different worries but overall the FA Cup is still a glamorous competition."
