There is a long way to go but Chelsea are in a fantastic position. They can only lose it now because they have already won it, |
There is always a danger when you rest regular players during a season. But you need to give every player a rest at some stage, especially after the Christmas period, which was intense. |
There is no urgency. He finishes in 2007 and does not have to talk in October 2005. |
There is only one way to fight it, and that is to punish people who obviously dive. ... The punishment would be suspension. But it is very difficult to prove. |
There was a lot of possession in the game but when you don't take your chances you don't get the result you want. When you look at the chances we had and the chances they had, it was a disappointing result for us. |
There was a third goal in that game and it is a regret that we didn't get it. |
There was no acrimony, it was just he was not well and you have to accept that. There is no bad feeling at all. You can only, at that level, perform if you are in a good state and he wasn't. |
There was no stress on us and I think we need that stress. But overall I am pleased with the performance. |
There's only one Patrick Vieira. |
There's something happening in this team and it's growing in confidence. It's young and showed resilience, attitude and not just quality, but character. |
These young boys are not starting on the red carpet. To start like that and to show that kind of character is needed at Arsenal, because you are always under pressure. |
They (City) closed us down and gave absolutely everything. We found an opening in the last 10 minutes but overall it was a difficult victory... we needed great concentration. |
They had the better chances. I think we have a chance and let's prepare well. If you are capable of grabbing your chance, you can win the final. |
They tried all long balls and we were quite comfortable with that. They don't know that we are used to that and get that all the time in England. |
Thierry could now go wherever he wanted and play. But that is not an argument I'll give him to convince him to sign, as it might provoke him a little bit! |
