Why not [continue for another five or ten years]? Ferguson is eight years older than him and he is still around.

He will be very welcome, and he will get a great reception, why not? He deserves it because of the fact he was one of our great players, a very special player, a colossus, a giant of a man in every sense of the word.

Never underestimate a club like Real Madrid because they have got such power and depth.

He has written his own part in Arsenal's history.

They don't come more glamorous than that. Our boys are looking good, we'll be up for it. This is another big stepping stone for the club.

That'll be up to him entirely, certainly no pressure from the board.

They are one of the great teams of Europe.

None of these games are easy. All the other teams are hard and want to win. Nothing is easy in this draw, but it is our ambition to prove we are one of the best clubs in Europe - and we have yet to get past the quarter-finals, so we have something to prove.

We all want to win the World Cup and I get very dismayed that there are elements that try to militate against that. I think it is important the whole nation should start to get behind the England team so we can do our best and bring some pride to the nation.
