Arsene Wenger's - predictably - praised the team spirit during his post-match comments at St.James' Park. He's refusing to say that the title race is all but over, stessing the fact that we have to keep taking points.
He said:
"There's a long way to go, but certainly now the Highbury performances will be vital for us, and it will start on Friday night against Leeds. The run is a secondary target because our target is to finish as high as we can. The only thing I can say is it helps, the run we're on has helped us to keep going, and we'll see.
"We go from game to game and as I say, Highbury will be certainly decisive. It's far from being done because there are six games to go and we have tricky games, but the spirit is there, the desire is there, and the way the boys have recovered is a lesson."
"There was a big disappointment from Tuesday night, and the way the boys have responded in the two performances since deserves a lot of credit."
温总仍然拒绝评论我们几乎拿到冠军这一论断。他认为剩下的6场比赛中，在海布利的主场比赛是决定性的。我们还有很长的路要走，但是我们的强大的精神力量在，取胜的欲望在，我们已经经历过的教训也在。他承认星期二晚上以来，全队确实非常失望，但是小伙子们在刚结束的两场比赛中作出的回应是绝对值得赞扬和肯定的。
