The FA Cup run ends at St Mary's, but the biggest prizes are still to play for. 🏆

In this post-match reaction episode of Gunners Chat, we break down the frustrating 2-1 defeat to Southampton. Despite Viktor Gyokeres finding the net in the second half, Arsenal couldn't overcome the Championship side to advance to Wembley.

We look at what went wrong on the south coast, the rotation choices, and why this result—while disappointing—needs to be an immediate wake-up call. The season is far from over. With the Premier League title race boiling down to the final weeks and a massive Champions League campaign underway, Mikel Arteta's squad must dust themselves off and lock in.

INSTANT REACTION. 🏟️ A disappointing afternoon at Wembley, but the season is far from over.

In this post-match podcast, we look at Arsenal’s 0-2 defeat to Manchester City in the EFL Cup Final. It was a poor showing where we failed to hit our usual levels, but while the hurt is real, we cannot let this define our season.

With a 9-point lead in the Premier League, an FA Cup Quarter-Final coming up, and a massive Champions League tie against Sporting CP ahead, the potential for a historic Treble is still on the table. We discuss why Mikel Arteta and the squad must channel this disappointment to ensure we deliver over the remaining months.

In this episode:

• Wembley Reality Check: Analyzing a performance that was simply not good enough for a final.
• No Room for a Collapse: Why we can’t let this result bleed into our league and European form.
• The Treble is Still On: A look at the remaining trophies and why there is still so much to play for.
• Channeling the Hurt: How the leaders in the dressing room—Rice, Odegaard, and Saka—need to react.

The hunt for major silverware continues. We go again.
