Arsene Wenger gets all ‘When ze seagulls follow the trawler’ on our ass


3 ‘Nobody can stop him. Probably the only way to do it is to kill him. When he runs at you, you try to grab his shirt or do whatever you can. But he just goes past you, makes fun out of you and leaves you kicking the air…’
Patrice Evra on Man U team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo

4 ‘I think we deserved the three points.’
