Goalkeeper Manuel Almunia has revealed that manager Arsène Wenger was furious with the team before the match against Porto, and that probably sparked the team into a determined effort to thrash the Portugese side.

Almunia said: "I think Arsène Wenger was furious before the Porto game and we said to ourselves that we had to play the Porto game as Arsenal know they can. We had to show we were a very great team.

"Maybe some players were tired [on Saturday] but Hull did very well. They are a strong team and we were surprised by them and I think Hull deserved the three points because our attitude wasn't very good during the game.

"But now we have togetherness, we are strong now, this is an important victory and it will give us more confidence. I hope at Sunderland we can show the strengths we have inside once again."

Yeah! Please Mr. Wenger try to talk to the players before and between the games. Sometime they relax and thus other teams take advantage of the situation.

Guns wake up it's time not to loose any more game in PL if you still dream of becoming champions. Thanks AW for that. Wishing you success

well, arsenal is a great team that is why i like the team, but i think what we need now is just two players in two diffrent roles, an attacker (9) and a defender (5 or 6) that can save us from area balls, becos other team always score us with area balls

thank you
