Kommentarer efter matchen mot de gula ubåtarna

"We are living in a yellow submarine"?

Föga.

Det var sänka skepp så det stod härliga till och när det väl gick så illa det bara kunde gå, så visade en gammal bajrare upp sig från sin bästa sida och så var det riktigt slut.

Wenger var dock en härligt glad männsika efter matchen och nedan så sammanfattar jag det bästa av det mesta. Någon dag försent, men är saker goda, så finns det inget slutdatum.

Wenger menade att man spelade för att vinna mot Villarreal och att man skapade problem med snabbheten och attackerna. "I believe that I was more impressed by the quality of our game and overall the speed of our game. Overall I believe against Villarreal who have a very good techincal level, we gave them problems where they didn't like it. That means going in behind them with the ball and being very explosive in our counter-attacking. We did that very well."

Wenger har ett gott gry i truppen och det finns en tro. men tron har uppstått från den stadiga frammarsch man har gjort i ligan och detta sprider sig till de turneringarna man är med i och vill vinna. Vidare så kommenterar han Adebayors mål, som var skönt för togolesen, som springit offside en miljard gånger innan, men om Theo; ja om Theo "Theo's finishing - he is now calm in front of goal. The way he finished last week at Wigan and this week in a Champions League game shows that he will score goals."

Så får vi reda på att Bacary Sagna var sjuk (Hårsäcksinflammation?) och att Wengers egen lilla gosse Eboué gjorde en bra insats.

Vi går rakt på semifinalen. manchester United; the red Devils, Fergusons lapdancing team eller vad man nu kallar dem. Wenger ser fram emot det; Det brukar bli spännande matcher. Båda spelar offensivt och vi har slagläge. Men egentïgen, säger Wenger "Tonight I would first like to enjoy qualification. The history always has a little part to play. We are in a cup competition now over 180 minutes and what is important is the form of the day. You have two teams with the same programme. Both are in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, both have a game in hand to play the week after. I believe that the form of the day and how much we can manage to be physically well on the day will have a big impact."

Påminner om en gammal Queen-låt - Don't stop me now. Så Gooneresque.
Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive
And the world, I'll turn it inside out yeah
I'm floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now
Don't stop me
'cause I'm having a good time
Having a good time

Åter till Wenger, som tycker att det kan vara både bra och dåligt att avsluta på Emirates. ""It depends on the first result. We always go in the first game to try to score so let's play the first game. I believe that if you have to finish the game off it is a little advantage to have the game at home. Statistically it is significant in a big way - it is maybe 55 against 45 and in England - and in England it is even less significant because we know each other so well."

Vi avslutar med lite Crescendo-varning. Det är now or never. Först började laget med "early-season defeats. Wenger menade att det inte spelar så stor roll, bara man tror på sitt lag. "It is mentally very difficult when they do not win the games because its a bit more fragile than guys who have a big history behind them and have already gone through difficult periods. I was more worried about the mental side about what happened at the start of the season but they have dealt with that very well. This group is mentally strong."

Manchester United matchen blir ett stort test, men först är det andra matcher på gång menar Wenger. "Before Man United, the most important is the Chelsea game. We have to focus on the short-term targets, and that is now Chelsea for us. I would not like to speculate on any weakness of Man United. We expect them to be strong on the day they play against us, and that should encourage us to be at our best and that is how we will try to play the game.We have games before we play Man United, so let's try to continue our run, and start with Chelsea. We are still super-outsiders."
