“We need our supporters and we need to create a big atmosphere tomorrow and we are very excited and with big enthusiasm for the match tomorrow. We are looking forward to playing, to being with our supporters, to doing the first leg’s 90 minutes with a big performance and with a good result.” Former Valencia […]

“Our focus is on the present and Sunday because if we think negative with the next matches we can’t think positive with the matches before against Napoli and Watford that we won. Each match is a new history, a new test and confirm if we can or not but being positive, working and recovering the confidence […]

It’s a pretty good weekend to be a Gooner. It would be even if it was only us showing a degree of good form and belief in recent weeks with the restoration of Mesut Ozil or Aaron Ramsey, or even both as against Rennes. We are playing well at the pointed end of the season. […]
