Arsene Wenger: "We are not in the final yet, we have a long way to go.
"When you go to Newcastle you as well have to be realistic. That's why I repeat we play with a good team and we do our best.
"Newcastle are competitive. They have a good mixture between physical power, technical level and spirit.
"That is why they will be a dangerous side for everybody.
"It is important that we go into the game and think we want to qualify, also we want to produce a great performance because the Chelsea game has shown that you don't get away with an average performance against Newcastle.
"I said to the players 'we will go for everything we can, as simple as that', and not really specify one more than the other one, that is why I believe we are on a good run and we want to keep that going.
"It is important to keep it moving no matter what competition it is, that is what we want to do.
"We are doing well in the Champions League and we have done well so far in the Carling Cup and we are back on track in the championship, so it is just all movement.
"I believe we have a squad good enough to go forward with trophies, that's why I think 'ok let's go as far as we can'.
"If needed we can still always choose later, but at the moment it is important for everybody to think we go for everything we can."
