Every one of our players respects every one of their players and their team as a whole. But once we cross that white line most of the respect will be out the window and we will be fighting to win the game.
I'm pleased with my personal performance but particularly with the way the team played overall.
Thierry Henry is playing just phenomenally at the moment. And with a team like that we're really going to have to play to counter a score like this in London.
As a person he is incredible, as a player he's better. Roy Keane brings a lot more to a team than just playing on the pitch.
Arsenal is a great team with a great coach. Although they come amid a bad spell, we can't rely on that and we must play our best and get the most out of the match.
If this team plays to its full potential then we can be devastating and, if we do that, hopefully we'll get a good result and beat Arsenal.
Mine was a great goal but the important thing was the team winning,
They are entitled to their views because it costs a lot of money to follow the team everywhere.
There will always be big questions asked of a team as big as us.
We're in form. When we make the most of our potential, we can destroy any team we come up against.
Wayne can play any position but the way he plays for Manchester United, just off the main striker, is unstoppable. He runs at players and that is what causes teams most problems.
We can take a lot from that game, to play against one of the best teams in the world and we've outplayed them for 90 minutes, ... They've scored two goals in the last two minutes of extra time. We had a lot of young lads out there who played as if they had been around for a long time.
We have been in this position before at the last championships when we beat Germany and ended up losing. It is unthinkable that we should go out at this stage, with the team and the players we've got. We can't even think about going into this game wanting a draw, we must go into it wanting to win.
We have got great individuals but this team is not about individuals,
