When I go to the press conference before the game, in my mind the game has already started...

Especially when you play at home, you need a good atmosphere behind you.

So I know all about the ups and downs of football, I know that one day I will be sacked.

The only way to stop Messi is to double mark him. One player to stay on him and the other to help out.

Instead of speaking about Real Madrid, Mr Wenger should speak about Arsenal and explain how he lost 2-0 against a team in the Champions League for the first time [Braga]. The history about the young kids is getting old now. Sagna, Clichy, Walcott, Fabregas, Song, Nasri, Van Persie, Arshavin are not kids. They are all top players.

I asked the players: 'Do you want to enjoy the game? Or do you want to enjoy after the game?' The players told me they wanted to enjoy after the game so I said: 'OK, then we will enjoy after the game'.

Drogba is a fighter. He is the kind of player I would say 'With you I could go to every war.'
