Any man who concentrates his energies totally on one passion is, by definition, someone who hurts the people close to him.

Young players need freedom of expression to develop as creative players... they should be encouraged to try skills without fear of failure.

It is always a danger when you have a big game ahead, but there is only one way to prepare well for our Champions League game - and that is to do well tomorrow. Therefore, I feel there is a lot at stake for us tomorrow. It is a massive game for us.

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
I am, of course, delighted but there was never any doubt about Sol staying.
Arsene Wenger
Image
Spare me the articles about how nice Shawcross is because that was a horrendous tackle. People say we don't fancy the physical side of it, but this is the result. If you see a player getting injured like that, it's not acceptable.

When I first came to Arsenal, I realised the back four were all university graduates in the art of defending. As for Tony Adams, I consider him to be a doctor of defence. He is simply outstanding.

Image
I do not think about the national team too much because footballistically it is not of too much interest.

To achieve great things you have first to believe it.

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.
