Arsenal have won that advantage, nobody gave it to them. By playing fantastic football and by winning matches and by winning trophies, they won that respect that the opponent has for them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Arsenal are a great team. But we lifted the trophy eight times in 11 years.
Look at the way teams play against Arsenal. They don't believe they can win. They don't believe.
As a club, we have an educational purpose: to give back to those people who love Arsenal so that they learn moral values from our game and how we behave.
The match has become quite unpredictable, but it still looks as though Arsenal will win the cup.
I think these awards are always nice for a player but they also reflect well on the club. It shows that Arsenal's performance have been noted all around the world and it helps by having so many good players around me.
What do folk always say about Arsenal? They can pass you to death.
Arsene Wenger's idea is not only to play good football. It's to play good football to win. In my day, we knew that with our style we could hurt teams and win trophies too. But we did it our way, with the positional game, passing, movement.
It's fantastic for Arsenal, and for English football as well. You've got an English club with a lot of young English talent committing themselves to a club.
With United, we'd all grown up together, we all wanted to win the biggest trophy in football. We did it togther.
When people think Arsenal had a bad season and we've had a good one, yet they still finish above us, it hurts.
