For a fan, emotional attachment to any player is a function of three things. One, their commitment and dedication to the club. Secondly, the way they leave the club and thirdly, their statements about the club. Thierry Henry is a case in point. Not only was he an excellent player for Arsenal, inspiring them to […]

Manchester City are clear favourites for Sunday’s Carabao Cup Final. The most generous odds any bookmaker offers on the Citizens lifting the trophy at Wembley are 4/9; an implied probability of 69%. Those quotes partly reflect the dominance of Pep Guardiola’s side. They have been beaten by just three teams: Shakhtar Donetsk, Liverpool and Wigan […]
It’s always a great feeling to finish the day on the right side of a hammering, so to mirror our drubbing of Blackburn here’s seven reasons to be a happy Gooner. 1. This is a little tongue in cheek but looking back at our dreadful start to this season it’s nice to know we’ve hit […]
That was amazing. The movement, the control, the finish. The exaggerated sulks, the slow-motion running, the memorable celebration. It was like he never left. If you’re going to use the 34-year-old’s goal as evidence that Chamakh/Arshavin/[insert attacker here] isn’t up to it, that it shows what this squad currently lack, I don’t begrudge you. But […]
Thierry Henry is back at Arsenal. The legend — and I don’t use that word lightly, even if I once jokingly referred to Emmanuel Eboue in the same way — has signed a short-term loan deal to help our squad cover their arses while Gervinho and Marouane Chamakh duck off to Africa. It’s unreal, isn’t […]
What a wonderful weekend for Arsenal. A 1-0 victory over Everton, made possible by a wonder-goal from our club captain; losses to league leaders Manchester City and those lads at Tottenham; and the unveiling of three glorious statues outside Emirates Stadium marked the 125th anniversary for the club that we all love. All the good […]
The final round of World Cup qualifiers concluded yesterday evening and it was a mixed night for the Arsenal players on display. William Gallas helped France qualify by scoring the decisive goal in their 1-1 extra-time draw with Ireland, heading home from one yard out in characteristic fashion after ex-Arsenal captain Thierry Henry’s clear handball. […]
I’m absolutely bloody knackered today and – it being a Friday afternoon – I’m going to keep things very, very short. It’s bullet-point time: Thierry Henry thinks Arsenal can win the Premier League this season. I know he says it every year but I still love hearing it come from him, it shows how much […]
Thierry Henry has finally become a European champion and I couldn’t be happier. Well, maybe if he’d won it with Arsenal but what can you do? Henry and his Barcelona buddies tore Manchester United apart in a comprehensive 2-0 win that completed this first treble in Spanish football history. Although he failed to score a […]
Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Liverpool to win the 1989 English Championship. On that night 20 years ago, Michael Thomas rushed forward in injury time to lift home the second goal of the game and etch Arsenal’s name into the history books as winners of perhaps the most dramatic English […]
