What they've said
Arsene Wenger
"Against stupidity the best way is information, knowledge of things and examples of behaviour, of attitudes," said Wenger.
"That is much more efficient than punishment, but you have to do both because some behaviours cannot be tolerated.
"It is not only racism, black and white, it is against all kinds of insults we still have in the stadiums. We must fight more against it.
"You look at some faces when you walk around the pitch, what they shout at you is scary. That is, for me, racism."

We could have played 3 hours further. That wouldnt have change anything. We created nothing and this game showed that we depending on Cazorla's magic.

Podolski never seem to cause any problems. The guy is so mediocre at times

Feck off with the excuse of the international break. All teams had to deal with it.
That is why we won't challenge. You can have a game off but have to win them like City and United do.
