Image
It's silly to work hard the whole week and then spoil it by not preparing properly before the game.
Arsene Wenger
Image
When you represent a club it's about values and qualities, not about passports.
Arsene Wenger
Image
I believe one of the best things about managing people is that we can influence lives in a positive way. That's basically what a manager is about. When I can do that, I am very happy.
Arsene Wenger
Image
If I were going to war I would want to be alongside an Englishman not a Frenchman. The Frenchman would think too much.
Arsene Wenger
Image
When you're dealing with someone who only has a pair of underpants on, if you take his underpants off, he has nothing left - he's naked. You're better off trying to find him a pair of trousers to complement him rather than change him.
Arsene Wenger
Image
As a coach you can influence the diet of your players. You can point out what is wrong.
Arsene Wenger
Image
It's like a child who is used to having ice cream whenever he wants. When it doesn't come when he asks he tends to get confused and nervous.

I'm French. I have not become an Englishman. I have the impression of living on an island called Arsenal. If you fancy a sightseeing tour of London, don't ask me. You would get lost.
Arsene Wenger
Image
People who work make the world live better and to reward these people well is normal. Yet they are not the people who are the wealthiest.
Arsene Wenger
Image
Ferguson's out of order. He has lost all sense of reality. He is going out looking for a confrontation, then asking the person he is confronting to apologise. He's pushed the cork in a bit far this time.
Arsene Wenger
Image
We played a whole season unbeaten but you did not see me every week jumping on the tables. Once it's over it's over and you do in the next one as well as you can. Plenty of managers who have won the Champions League will not be considered great managers.
Arsene Wenger
Image
In England, football is important for everybody.
Arsene Wenger
Image
I believe in work, in connections between the players, I think what makes football great is that it is a team sport. You can win in different ways, by being more of a team, or by having better individual players. It is the team ethic that interests me, always.

Image
What makes daily life interesting is that we try to transform it to something that is close to art.
Arsene Wenger
Image
We don't sign superstars, we make them.
Arsene Wenger
Image
In my job, you expect to suffer. That's why when I go to hell one day, it will be less painful for me than you, because I'm used to suffering.
Arsene Wenger
Image
I am, of course, delighted but there was never any doubt about Sol staying.
