Quotes of note from the Arsenal replay

"The talk after the match was of the extraordinary Elland Road atmosphere." The Independant

"They forced Wenger to send on Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie, who headed in Nicklas Bendtner's excellent cross and the great escape was over. Arsenal's class had told. Surely now Elland Road would fall silent. No chance. Like their fans, Leeds refused to go quietly." Henry Winter, Telegraph

"The atmosphere was electric. Leeds fans became particularly enervated when Arshavin went to ground far too easily, prompting chants of "are you Walcott in disguise?". Then they began twirling white scarves above their heads, generating a marvelous sight to accompany the unebbing noise. Walcott's place on the right was taken by Bendtner, who failed to turn in an inviting ball from Sagna. "That's why you're 52," chorused the Leeds supporters." Henry Winter, Telegraph

The Gaffers:

Wenger

“I was impressed by the way they (Leeds) were organised and their spirit and physical qualities. I think they have a good chance to be in the play-offs - we miss Leeds in the Premier League.”  

Grayson

"We were beaten by the better side," said the Leeds boss. "It was a testament to players and club that the side put out was strong.

"The players can be proud of what they achieved with their work-ethic, the way they passed it at times, and an attitude to never give in.

"That can only stand us in good stead. The players should be proud of themselves and the fans should be proud of themselves."

"They should be the better team with what they have in their squad," said Grayson. 

"They passed it better than they did at the Emirates and at 2-0 we were under the cosh, but we came back with a great goal from Bradley and we had some good opportunities to get back into it."

"The atmosphere was unbelievable and the national media who were there understand what we are all about if they didn't know already.

"You could feel the buzz at 5.30pm and I'm very proud of what the supporters have done for the football club."

"Bradley hits those all the time in training ... and they end up in Wetherby"
