I applaud Arsenal and Arsene Wenger for.


We aren't Inter or Chelsea. I hope the match tomorrow is flowing and what the game should be about. The two clubs respect each other and I expect it to show on the pitch.

Exerpts from Sport.es interview with Pep (I'd link it but it's in spanish so here's my translation):

quote:

With the shock inclusion of Robin Van Persie, where everything pointed to him being unavailable , do you doubt the inclusion of Walcott and Song?

To which the Sanpedor born coach responded "There are always private aircraft to fly Song and Walcott in on. Last tie Mr. Wenger said that Nasri was a low probablility and he was included. For me, I hope Walcott and Song are able to come and play; it is entertainment for people if the best players are out on the pitch and if Van Persie can play as a top player, it's much better.


quote:

What about a perceived mental weakness?
"I always hear about this 'mental weakness' from Arsenal, but this is not true. They are always on top, always winning; perhaps they sell some players but they always find a way to compete. There are many teams that are on top once ore twice and then they are finished, but Arsenal are always there.


He then went on to talk about Jack Wilshere:

quote:

Wilshere is a top player who has been a huge surprise; I did not know him at the beginning of the season but he's a top player. He's a top player not just for Arsenal but also for the English national team; there are many players like him in our second team and it is very good news for football when a team has players like him.
