Arsenal celebrated their back-to-back FA Cup successes with back-to-back parties, as the Gunners emerged from a London nightclub in the early hours of Sunday morning before heading for a victory parade in Islington.

England star Jack Wilshere, who came off the bench during the win at Wembley, was at the heart of the celebrations, the midfielder seen leaving a club at six in the morning before drinking beers on the team bus a few hours later.

And for the second year in a row, Wilshere mocked rivals Tottenham in a foul-mouthed outburst before the winners' victory parade came to a close on Sunday.

Wilshere was again the ring-leader, leading the assembled supporters in some of their favourite chants including one aimed at north London rivals Spurs.

The 23-year-old, who has come through the youth ranks at Arsenal, started a chant mocking local rivals Tottenham, asking the crowd: 'What do we think of Tottenham?'... before adding: 'And what do we think of s***?'

The microphone was then taken off Wilshere, but he retrieved it, saying: 'We have got one more.'

As the England international then started the chant 'My old man said be a Tottenham fan...', which when sang in full includes more expletives aimed at Spurs, Arsenal broke off from the live broadcast on their in-house media channel. The studio presenter immediately apologised for any offence caused by the player's remarks.

Although not broadcast, the Arsenal supporters responded with chants of 'Super Jack Wilshere'.

It remains to be seen whether Wilshere will face any action from the Football Association for his outburst.

Despite the bad weather, thousands of supporters turned out to see their heroes, and the Gunners players were quick to thank the supporters. Welsh midfielder Aaron Ramsey tweeted 'May be grey out but we're painting North London red'.

The Gunners were joined in central London club Libertine by their opponents, with young Aston Villa star Jack Grealish also pictured coming out of the same club in the early hours.

German world cup winner Mesut Ozil, who was in excellent form during the Wembley win, was also out celebrating, along with Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesney and full back Kieran Gibbs.

But by 11 o'clock on Sunday morning the Gunners stars were out of their party clothes and into their team tracksuits, parading the famous old trophy in front of fans in Islington.

Some of the Arsenal players were sporting sunglasses despite the gloomy day, with a few looking slightly the worse for wear after the all-night festivities.

Just a few hours later the Arsenal players were out in Islington on the club's open-top bus parade to celebrate with their fans

'We wanted to do well and win something, and get the same feeling as last year,' said Ramsey. 'You can see all the fans, it's great for the club and the supporters.

'They've given us fantastic support throughout the year and hopefully we can go on next year to challenge for the Premier League.'

The theme of building on the second cup success to challenge for league honours was a constant theme throughout the parade. German defender Mertesacker, who has captained the side recently following injury to Mikel Arteta, emphasised the point.

He said on Sky Sports News HQ: 'This is an amazing achievement for us as a group, which will hopefully build confidence and hopefully we can build on that next season.'

Arteta was not part of the match-day squad at Wembley because of injury, but joined Mertesacker in leading the squad up to the Royal Box to lift the trophy.

The Spaniard, who is set to extend his contract for next season, also believes Arsenal can go on to greater things.

Arteta said: 'It took some time to get going, but now we have created some momentum and hopefully there is more to come.
