Trowers Hails "Amazing" Arsenal
The owner of Arsenal, Scott Trowers, has released a statement praising the work of Arsene Wenger and everyone else involved in the club.
He has also highlighted their impressive Champions League form, which see's them have a 100% record, conceding just 1 and scoring 18 in just 8 games. In 2 days time, Arsenal will face 2nd placed Manchester City in the Quarter-Finals of the Champions League.
Trowers also admitted disappointment that Arsenal crashed out of the FA Cup 5th round in a 2-0 defeat to Championship side Burnley, followed just 6 days later by a League Cup Final 2-1 defeat to Manchester United,
"Obviously we are all very disappointed that we ended up runners-up again, just 2 years after doing the same. We had worked so hard to get to the final, and unfortunately some of the younger players that day made 2 mistakes, and United punished us. Fairplay to them, but let's be honest... It was only the league cup!!"
"I was, however, very angry at our poor showing at Burnley a week before! I wanted to win the FA Cup, and if you look at the team we put out, you have to say maybe Arsene could of taken them more seriously. However, we have lost just twice in the league this season, and the defeat to Newcastle was from a penalty which, if you watch it, was an utter dive by Shola. It was disgusting, and I hope that both the manager and Santiago had a word with him!"
