    'Team for Sutton not affected by Bayern defeat'published at 09:45 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2017

    Sutton v Arsenal (Monday, 19:55 GMT)

    Moving on (slightly) from the Bayern defeat, Wenger said he has already decided the team for Monday's FA Cup tie with Sutton.

    "The FA Cup is one of our targets and it's our next game and it becomes very important, but it always was in my head," he said.

    "In my head, I've had the team who will play Sutton for a week or 10 days so the Bayern defeat will not influence that selection."

    'I've not had enough' - Wengerpublished at 09:41 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2017

    Sutton v Arsenal (Monday, 19:55 GMT)

    Asked if he felt offended by the recent speculation, Wenger replied: "No, I'm used to it - I've been here for 20 years. I think it's important in life to do what you think is right and the rest is judgement. I'm in the public life and I have to deal with it.

    "At the moment, we have other priorities than my future. Arsenal Football Club is what is important, not just me.

    "I don't feel like I've had enough - I will manage next season, whether it's here or somewhere else.

    "On the night, I hate defeat and it's hard to take but I have the strength and experience to come back from that."

    'There was no row in the dressing room'published at 09:38 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2017

    Sutton v Arsenal (Monday, 19:55 GMT)

    Reflecting on the Bayern defeat, Wenger said: "The main emotion is that everybody is disappointed and we need to focus on the next game.

    "We need to take care with the consequences a disappointing result can have on everyone's spirit and we need to bounce back.

    "I know the media likes these kind of press conferences and what is important for us is to focus on the next game while everyone else can analyse what went wrong.

    "We can't influence last game, can only influence it the next time we play Bayern at home.

    "The defeat did not extend into a row in the dressing room. Everyone was deeply disappointed but there was no issue in the dressing room."

    Sutton v Arsenal (Monday, 19:55 GMT)

    Arsene Wenger admits he did reveal he would make a decision on his future in March or April. Asked which month he says: "I don't know. If I said March of April it is because I didn't know." 

    Asked if he has had enough, he adds: "No, no matter what happens I will manage next season, whether it's here or somewhere else."

    Paralysed jockey Tylicki plans return to saddlepublished at 08:59 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2017

    Paralysed jockey Freddy Tylicki has told the BBC he will return to the saddle next week when he has a riding lesson.

    Tylicki was left paralysed from the waist down after a four-horse pile-up at Kempton in October last year.

    The 30-year-old is now in a specialist spinal unit in London.

    "It's not going to be a racehorse - it'll be something slower - but life goes on and you've got to make the most of it," he told BBC Look East of his riding plans.

    The new World Super 6 continues in Perth but there are no gimmicks on the PGA Tour, and there were packed galleries to see the likes of Phil Mickelson, Jason Day, Sergio Garcia and Dustin Johnson in action at the Genesis Open at Riviera Country Club.

    Sam Saunders, grandson of the late, great Arnold Palmer held the lead at seven under on day one, which was suspended due to darkness after earlier fog delays. Johnson, bidding to replace Day as world number one, is five under while Mickelson, who chipped in for an eagle, is four under.
