Arsene Wenger
I'm not scared to spend money. If you go out with me one night, you will understand that.Collection: Night
You weren’t world-class when Arsenal signed you.Collection: Class
We don't sign superstars, we make them.Collection: Soccer
I've told him to cut off his ponytail. I think it makes him less aerodynamic.Collection: Soccer
When you represent a club it's about values and qualities, not about passports.Collection: Quality
A company works best when everybody does the job he is paid to do.Collection: Soccer
Messi's like a PlayStation. He can take advantage of every mistake we make. He made the impossible possible. He has something exceptional. He has six or seven years in front of him, touchwood that nothing happens to him, and he can reach unbelievable levels.Collection: Mistake
I believe I do my job the way I have to do it.Collection: Jobs
It's a strange atmosphere always over there, it is darker and less glamorous, and you don't feel as high. It is a different kind of test - can you raise your level in a less exciting environment and perhaps still a very difficult one?Collection: Soccer
Everybody has a different opinion in this league and nobody is a prophet. I personally don't know who will win the league. I managed 1,600 games so, if Nani knows, he must be 1,600 times more intelligent than I am.Collection: Intelligent
I would be much more annoyed if we hadn't won the game. As a manager, you have to see the positives and I think Pires has a vaccine for the rest of his life.Collection: Soccer
I am still hopeful we can go through the season unbeaten - a frightening thought.Collection: Hopeful
Unfortunately apparently I am to blame because I don't produce enough English players.Collection: Player
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.Collection: Champions League
I have been accused of not taking seriously the FA Cup on Saturday ... I have won four times the FA Cup. Who has won it more? Give me one name.Collection: Names
In England, football is important for everybody.Collection: Football
I do not think about the national team too much because footballistically it is not of too much interest.Collection: Team
I don't kick dressing room doors, or the cat - or even journalistsCollection: Cat
Messi is a Playstation.Collection: Messi
We have tried to get closer to them, but we never copied anybody, we always tried to play our footballCollection: Football
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.Collection: Reality
I am not against being pragmatic, because it is pragmatic to make a good pass, not a bad one. If I have the ball, what do I do with it? Could anybody argue that a bad solution like just kicking it away is pragmatic just because, sometimes, it works by accident?Collection: Kicking It
I know how important it is to have a helping hand.Collection: Hands
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.Collection: Nice
Everyone plays the ball over the top and, at the moment, we only concede goals from crosses or balls over the top. I feel we will adapt to that.Collection: Play
I didn't know the English were good at swimming. I have been in this country for 12 years and I haven't seen a swimming pool.Collection: Country
Who is the Best Player in the World? Leo Messi. Who is the Best Player Ever? Leo Messi!Collection: Player
Sometimes now, when I watch continental games on television, I'm a bit bored. I ask, 'where is the intensity?'Collection: Soccer
Fair play is an English word. It is not a French word, and it has been copied all over the world. Unfortunately, it does not function any more here.Collection: Play
If I give you a good wine, you will see how it tastes and after you ask where it comes from.Collection: Wine
You ask me: 'Was he a fair player?' I say: 'No, I'm sorry, for me he was not a fair player.' I just think I respect him highly as a quality player. I did not like some things he did on the football pitch and I have the right to say that. It's not because you are older, suddenly, that you are a saint.Collection: Football
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.Collection: Soccer
If you buy a man who is half dead, everybody may be happy off the field, but on the field you'll have major problemsCollection: Men
The background looks like a lot of red cards.Collection: Cards
If you don't question the officials' role then you've got to ask what they are doingCollection: Roles
For a while, you could decide when you loan the player out whether he plays against you or not, and I always decided that he could play against us. But I must say I didn't get any protection from the media because when the player I loaned out scored against us, it's 'aaahhh, look at him, stupid...'Collection: Stupid
If I left I would feel a deserter - like the guy who walks away from the army once there is a war. I am highly committed to this club. I love what I do here and love the spirit of the team.Collection: Team
I have only been here since 1996 but between 1966 and 1996 England had thirty years without foreign players and didn't win any more competitions in that time.Collection: Soccer
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.Collection: Soccer
Nobody will finish above us in the league. It wouldn't surprise me if we were to go unbeaten for the whole of the season. The challenge now is to dominate English football for a long time.Collection: League
What makes daily life interesting is that we try to transform it to something that is close to art.Collection: Art
If I go into a season and I say, 'For f***'s sake, if we don't win anything, they will all leave,' I have already lost. The problem of the media is always to imagine the worst. The problem of the manager is always to imagine the best.Collection: Winning
Gerard is an open-minded and passionate man. I am the opposite: stubborn and stupid. But sometimes stupid behaviour makes you win.Collection: Stupid
One of the things I discovered in Japan was from watching sumo wrestling. At the end you can never tell who has won the fight, and who has lost, because they do not show their emotion because it could embarrass the loser. It is unbelievable. That is why I try to teach my team politeness. It is only here in England that everybody pokes their tongue out when they win.Collection: Soccer
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.Collection: Children
Thierry Henry could take the ball in the middle of the park and score a goal that no one else in the world could score.Collection: Football
I am supposed to take the bullets and absorb them. Like a bear, a polar bear.Collection: Football
What makes him special? He has a mixture of physical talent and technical ability, as well as remarkable intelligence and above all a great passion for the game.Collection: Football
