From the Guardian: Arsène Wenger has told Mark Hughes that he is the only man who believes in

Ouch! I'm still smarting from Saturday's loss at Old Trafford. On the run of play we were at
least a point but we just can't resist pressing the big red self-destruct button, can we?
Abou Diaby's headed own goal would have been at absolute peach – if he had scored it at the
other end of the park.

FC Barcelona's triumph in Rome did shatter some firm belief held by English media and English
