Arsene Wenger has backed Pascal Cygan to come good at Arsenal. He said, with a straight face, “I think he has adapted well. At the moment Pascal is facing unexpected competition from Kolo Toure, but I rely on him. He is clever, anticipates well and is an excellent player.”
Wenger on Matthew Upson on Jan 13th 2003: “Matthew has all you dream of if you play at centre-back. He has all the attributes any centre-half in the world could possibly wish for. He has pace, power and his technique in the air is extremely good. I believe Matthew is back to his best and I want to give him a go.”
Gerard Houllier reckons Arsenal were more clinical than Liverpool. “They were more clinical than us” he said. Told you.
