「在我開始致辭前，我先要祝願費格遜早日康復，在這段漫長日子，你一直都伴在我身邊，我知道這並不容易。
像你們一樣，我是阿仙奴球迷，那是多於觀賞足球而已，而是一種生活的方式，享受漂亮的賽事，一切有關我們珍惜的價值，甚至融在我們的每個細胞中，我們會盼望、擔心，甚至曾感到絕望，但當你來到這裏，會意識到夢想代表着甚麼。
我希望感謝所有讓阿仙奴變得特別的人，希望大家也支持這些背後的工作人員和球員。我的球員都擁有特別的質素，不管在場內場外都是。請你們繼續支持球隊，下一季繼續支持，因為他們值得擁有你們的支持。
我希望以一句簡單的句子作結：我會想念你們。感謝你們在我生命中最重要的部份出現，我希望很快會再見到大家，謝謝你們，再見。」
"Before I start, I just want to say I wish by fellow manager Ferguson well, and very quickly.
Thank you very much for having me for such a long time. I know it is not easy!
Above all I am like you, I am an Arsenal fan.
That means this is more than just watching football it is a way of life. It is about caring about the beautiful game, about the values that we cherish and as well that something that goes through every cell of our bodies we care, we worry, we are desperate but when you come here dreams are realised.
I would like to thank everybody at the club which makes the club so special.
I would invite you to really push to support these players and the staff which remains behind me.
For me this group of players have a special quality not just on the pitch but off the pitch.
And please follow this team and really support this team next season because they really deserve it.
I would like to finish with one simple word: I will miss you.
Thank you for being such an important part of my life and I hope to see you soon. Well done. Bye bye."
