"I will miss out a few words but I just told him he was not good enough, that I was too good for him and he was not going to score. Put in a nice way, I got in his head because he missed the penalty and it worked. He is a quality player, he showed that in the first half with his finish [for Udinese's goal]. I don't think a lot of players in the world could have finished that the way he did. It makes me even happier to save such a crucial penalty at such a crucial moment against such a big player.
"Someone said there is no good saves from penalties, they are just poor penalties. So I don't take too much credit, I just went the right way. It wasn't a great save but I'm still very happy with it."
Despite being a goal down at half-time, with the tie level on aggregate, Szczesny said that the anxiety that seems to have followed Arsenal around this season does not extend to the players. "At half-time, there might have been a lot of people in England questioning the team because we were losing at such a difficult venue to a very good Udinese side," he said. "The only people who believed in the team was the team.
"All the players in the dressing room were very motivated and had the belief that we would come back into the game. We showed very good mental strength and very good quality in the second half. The only people who question the team or manager are the media and the fans. Inside the team, we don't feel that at all, so we know how good our manager is and we believe in what he is doing. We answered a lot of questions."

Arsene Wenger insists reports that Arsenal have offered £6million for Bolton Wanderers defender Gary Cahill are incorrect.
Bolton have confirmed that an offer from the Gunners has been turned down and Owen Coylehttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif claimed the bid could not even be described as 'derisory'.
Reports have suggested that Arsenalhttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif put a bid between £6m-£7m on the table as Wenger looks to improve his defensive options before the transfer window closes.
However, the Gunners boss has dismissed offering the figures that have been quoted and is unsure whether Bolton are prepared to sell Cahill.
"First of all I would like to say the number is wrong," said Wenger.
When asked if it was less than £6m, he joked: "You know me quite well!
"It's completely wrong and nothing to do with how much we rate the player.
"I believe negotiations are between two parties and you only have to sell the player if you are alright with the price.
"In this case the information is below what has been spoken about."
Gartside row
Bolton chairman Phil Gartside re-tweeted a message sent by a Bolton fan angered by the offer, but Wenger was furious at the Trotters' reaction.
He said: "It is not true. You can believe Gartside or you can believe me. It's not right. It's not the truth.
"If Gartside can say I am lying I am ready to confront him. The truth is that we never speak about our negotiations.
"If a club doesn't want to sell a player it can keep him. When we sign a player we come out here and tell you and keep the price a secret.
"They do not need to sell the player, they can keep him. If you ask do I want to buy your house and you are not happy with the price you say no, that's it.
"Why should you feel insulted? I don't understand. If the player is not for sale they can keep him. I don't understand the problem.
"If we want to buy the player we buy the player. I do not have to explain for how much."

West Ham have confirmed they are in talks with Tottenham over a move for midfielder Scott Parker.
Parker has been linked with a transfer ever since the Hammers suffered relegation last season but despite being open to such a move, he has started the season under Sam Allardycehttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif in the Championship.
Premier League new boys Queens Park Rangershttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif saw a £4million bid turned down for Parker earlier this month, while the likes of Stoke and Aston Villahttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif have also been credited with an interest in the former Chelseahttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif man.
Spurs boss Harry Redknapphttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif is a long-time admirer of the England international and despite previously playing down any move for Parker he has now made an approach for the 30-year-old.
Redknapp is keen to bolster his squad before the transfer window slams shut next Wednesday and he will now be hoping to lure Parker to White Hart Lane.
Wow, so negotiations are going well then. We do seem to have a unique style when it comes to transfers.Quote:

Will be a huge shame if we miss out on such an easy win with Parker. Bellamy too. Can't understand the failure to act in both these instances.
I thought 'Arry was put off by it being a '30 million signing when you take it all into consideration', I guess Parker is desperate enough to get away from the Walrus he'd take a big pay-cut now.
two things.
the first is in reply to that chesney interview. he is becoming a world class wum and keeper. syn would be proud.
the second what a joke it is that a chairman of a premier league club retweets calling another manager a bellend, that is outreageous
I don't think twitch is too worried who the player is, provided he gets the chance to do some wheeler-dealing with the club's cash. I suppose there's some sort of a back-hander built in too plus some mechanism by which to plunge the spuds into financial cataclysm in a couple of years. The standard Harry Redknapp routine, as seen at all his other clubs. Next England manager. LOL.Quote:
