Of the nine red cards this season we probably deserved half of them.

It's silly to work hard the whole week and then spoil it by not preparing properly before the game.

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.

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

I believe I do my job the way I have to do it.

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.

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