The Round Up: the FA Cup

Arsenal become the most successful club in FA Cup history as they retain the title for a record breaking 12th time, further earning manger Arsene Wenger an equally-record breaking sixth triumph, over taking George Ramsay who held the record with Villa between 1887-1920. 
The Gunners dominated throughout the match in a magnificent display of football skill, taking the lead 5 minutes before half time by a Theo Walcott goal. Sanchez followed with an undeniably brilliant 25 yard thunderbolt, arguably a FA cup finest. Mertesacker, left unmarked, head a third goal and Villa were dragged through the mud when Giroud completed the harrowing of Tim Sherwoods's side moments from the final whistle, Villa handing Arsenal the title in a 4-0 defeat. 
Yet, what is next for the club? After finishing 3rd in the Premier League, 12 points behind champions Chelsea, many question whether next season may be on of more silver wear for Arsenal.  Striker Theo Wallcott believes that the Premier League is the Gunners next target, "That's two FA Cup wins now but this is one of the best squads we have had at Arsenal so we should be achieving more. We need to start well in the Premier League next year." 
Next season will be an interesting on, with three big names all fighting for that title, no one can seem to call what will happen. However, after a record breaking win in the FA cup for Arsenal, spirits will be high for the season 2015/16 for the developing club. 
Not forgetting that the Woman's World Cup held in Vancover starts on the 6th June. England remains hopeful of a possible win, yet a warm up knock down 1-0 defeat against the hosting side Canda may prove to the ladies that this will not be an easy ride. Still hopes are high for the strong England side, good Luck to the lionesses!
