At some clubs success is accidental. At Arsenal it is compulsory.

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.

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

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.

I'm not scared to spend money. If you go out with me one night, you will understand that.

I take pride in the fact that people go home having felt that for 90 minutes today, life is beautiful - and that's it, basically. That's why professional football exists.

If somebody stamps on your head in that way, you wouldn't say, 'Thank you very much, can I turn the other cheek'. Only Jesus Christ did that.
