This is all in response to Wenger saying that we are boring.

"We know how to lose.

"We have accepted it as part of life and we have always accepted it as part of the game. When Arsenal won the league at Old Trafford, our directors put champagne on for them, we sent champagne into the dressing-room, and our supporters applauded them off. That was the reaction of a club that knows how to lose.

"How do Arsenal play?" said an exasperated Ferguson. "I pick my team because of the players I had to play. And that is the difference. If I had wanted to play differently [on Wednesday] I would have put Smith or Van Nistelrooy or Giggs or Rooney in."
