Statements - Aaron Ramsey (Cardiff Coach)

"I've been following Jack's coaching career, developing over the years with the U18s until he got there and got the opportunity. It's going to be crazy, but I'm really looking forward to seeing him again."

"I think soccer has improved a lot since our time at Arsenal. What Arsène [Wenger] instilled in us is the freedom to express ourselves. We had that confidence from him to go out and do that, which is something I will carry forward throughout my coaching career - to give the players the confidence to go out and express themselves. That's why we fell in love with soccer. We started playing soccer to go out and enjoy it. For me, that will be something I will take with me into the future."

"Neither team has anything competitive at stake before this weekend, but they will be looking for a positive finish to the Championship campaign. I don't know all the details, but what I do know is that they have a quality squad with really good players. The stats also bear that out. It will be a good test for us, but I'm really looking forward to it."

Statements - Jack Wilshere (Norwich Coach)

"This wasn't the plan, Johannes leaving, but we have to adapt. If we can do it quickly, it will be good for everyone. If Ben and the club can do it quickly, the club will be happy. Whoever coach comes in, they will want to assess the squad and see who moves on from there."

"The squad has been completely supportive of me. I don't think we are far from what the fans want to see. We have had a very good week. The players have been outstanding. I was thrilled with them after the Middlesbrough game because you never know how you're going to do until three o'clock on a Saturday afternoon. We got what we wanted. The staff, the players, everyone has supported me."

"The context of the match determines the approach. We want to win for the fans and leave a good taste in their mouths, to get them excited about next season and believe in it. When you're a coach on the sidelines, you want to see the passion, the hunger and the desire to win duels and run backwards. Tactically, you can put a team together, but if you don't have that and you don't know how to suffer or defend your area (then it's no good). Hopefully tomorrow we can achieve that balance.
