Nottingham Forest vs. Arsenal: What the managers are saying

Nuno Espirito Santo, Nottingham Forest

(via Nottingham Forest)

“We’ve been away for too much time. We’ve missed the atmosphere at The City Ground and I really believe this can help us.

“It can help us in the moment at the team needs it.

“Our fans and The City Ground have been helpful; they’ve played the game alongside us.

“This season there have been many moments when they have been the 12th player on the pitch, they were the energy of the players, the clearances off the line.

“We’ve been there together.”

Mikel Arteta, Arsenal

(via Arsenal)

"Unbelievable, what they’re doing and what he’s (Espirito Santo) done. Not only there, but what he did at Wolves as well, it was incredible, to be fair. So huge pride for him, the coaching staff and the players and the club as well for what they have generated after coming into the Premier League, it’s a remarkable story, so well done to them."
