What They're Saying
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger (via the Express): "That's what people say when you don't win, but let's not forget you can be boring and lose as well. I believe big clubs have a responsibility to win, but to win with style. I believe that our sport has moved forward a lot on the technical side, on the physical side, on the tactical side. But as well we must not forget the values that our sport carries through the generations."
Aston Villa center-back Ron Vlaar (via the FA): "It's been a really long time. I've been well aware of it because a lot of people have told me. They are looking forward to it and so are we. It's something the fans have had to deal with, but hopefully we can make them a great memory on Saturday."
