Arsenal

Dear Arsenal supporter,

A lot of credit must go to the commitment and the organisation of
Wolves on Saturday.

However, I felt that we were always in control, and in the second half
especially we were on top.

We needed of course, to play with a higher tempo in the second half to
get on top of the game, and once we got the second goal, it always
looked like we could score quite a few. But before that, I feel the two
centre backs of Wolverhampton had an outstanding game.

Their whole team was fighting for every ball. If we wanted an intense
physical preparation for Tuesday this was one, because they gave us a
hard time.

Thierry Henry didn't score on Saturday but I'm not worried about that
at all because he created lots of chances for the team, at one stage
four chances in 10 minutes. He's the kind of player you want on the pitch
even if he doesn't score for 20 games because in every game he provides
three or four opportunities for the team.

This is illustrated by the fact that he provided the penalty, which
Patrick Vieira scored, and he also provided the second goal for Freddie
Ljungberg. After that, he gave a ball to Quincy for a goal scoring
chance, then he gave a good chance to Robert Pires.

Emmanuel Eboue also had a good game. He has a lot to learn tactically
but I feel he's a player who looks very comfortable on the ball, and he
looks a very promising player.

I feel he can play right midfield as well, because he is one who moves
the ball quickly in action. When the ball comes to him it's
acceleration always, and that a good thing for the game. He's not a player who
stops and then looks and passes.

It's good to get through to the next round of the FA Cup but we haven't
given up the Premiership yet. We will try to create momentum and do as
well as we possibly can.

Thanks for your continued support.

Arsenal out of title race

Manchester United have knocked champions Arsenal out of the title race with Tuesday's emphatic 4-2 victory at Highbury, according to both teams' managers. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger told French television: "We lost the title tonight, that's for sure."

Asked if Arsenal were out of the running, Ferguson told Sky Sports News: "I think so. Both managers said before the game that whoever lost had no chance of the title and I believe that today."

Two second-half goals from Portugal winger Cristiano Ronaldo and another from substitute John O'Shea turned a possible defeat into a rout for the visitors and lifted United into second place, eight points behind title favourites Chelsea.

"We've come from behind twice, it shows the measure of the team in terms of character and determination," added Ferguson. "There are no wimps in my team and they showed that tonight.

"It was a fantastic performance."

As for United's chances of denying Chelsea their first championship in 50 years, Ferguson said: "We could win every game right to the end of the season and not win the title.

"But I think the most important thing is that we showed we're on great form ourselves and, on that form, we must have a chance if they slip up."

Wenger agreed with Ferguson's analysis.

Asked if Arsenal were out of the title race, he said: "It looks like it, yes. We'll not give up but we are now too far (behind)."

The Frenchman pointed the finger at his team's defending but stopped short of singling out Spanish goalkeeper Manuel Almunia after his rash judgement in trying to tackle Ryan Giggs led to United's third goal.

KILLER GOAL

"We had to work hard for our goals but they did not have to work hard for their goals," Wenger said. "The third goal was a killer mentally, we never recovered from that.

"We are disappointed tonight but we have to recover."

Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira, who opened the scoring after eight minutes, made it clear United had deserved their win.

"Today we lost to a better team, all credit to them," said the French midfielder.

"But we are going to fight until the last game of the season and second place is still quite important for the (automatic) Champions League slot. We are going to keep going.

"We are a strong team mentally. Of course, we are quite disappointed with the way we played and the result of the game, but we have to respond. We have to bounce back."

Paying tribute to United's performance, Vieira said: "They didn't panic even when we were leading 2-1, they were passing the ball quite well and they showed a lot of experience.

"They were patient and they worked really hard for each other."
