VIEIRA - WE CAN DO THE DOUBLE

Last updated : 24 March 2003 By Editor
Speaking after the 2-1 win against Everton, Vieira said:

"We were bitterly disappointed to get knocked out of the
Champions League in midweek.

"Some people have been writing us off, but we just have to
believe in ourselves. I believe we are good enough to win
the Premier League and The FA Cup.

"I'm still feeling some pain and I'm not 100% with my knee,
but we're in a situation where everybody has to give their
best if we are going to win the league."

Arsene was happy too:

"The team have shown how strong they are and how determined
they were to recover from the disappointment of going out of
the Champions League.

"I can only praise my players as they did everything that I
asked of them. We found the resources to win it even though
we had heavy legs. That's why it's very encouraging for the
future.

"Patrick refused to drop points and showed that with his
attitude. He led the team very well and many players showed
how much they wanted to win the game, no matter how."
