[Herbie von Smalls]

could this herald a third league defeat in a row for arsenal tomorrow? here's hoping.

Might not be that bad a thing, they seem to be a better "team" this season when he doesnt play, well bar the Bolton game anyway but they always lose their with him to. He's still got a decent goals tally but he looks to me that he regrets not going to Barca.

 

ANALYSE THE BODY LANGUAGE!!!

ANALYSE THE BODY LANGUAGE!!!

I love how mediocre players never get that. No one ever goes "Graham Kavangh doesn't look happy in this advance role to me. Look at his body language."

True.

 

"Kavanagh looks likes he's regretting his move from Wigan to Sunderland to me"

[Bootle Buck]

Maybe the fact that he lost several players who made him look great over the years and they have been replaced by youngsters.

 

Viera, Bergkamp and Pires are all players who combined very well with Henry it's hard top replace that synergy.

 

He hasn't looked the same supremely confident player this season.

That's because he's pining to step out and hear the Kop roar his name.

[Benzo-13]

Supposed to have had a "bust-up" with Wenger as usual..

 

Sneaky Jan bid perhaps???

[Koogan]

No, I'd prefer a Cheeky Jan bid myself, to be honest

I know what you mean about the class players that have left Arsenal but Henry (like Gerrard) has just started the season very slowly. He will be the best footballer as usual come May

The gods aren't smiling on Spurs here. 2-0 down, the first offside, the second a harsh penalty

Harsh peno is an understatement!!!!!

Poll in controversial decision shocker

i don't get spurs. loads of decent players but they're rubbish.

First goal was clearly just onside. Both penalties were harsh though (the 2nd simply because van Persie handled the ball first). Spurs were well beaten though.

anyone else reckon henry's antics at the match today were more than a trifle embarrassing? i've never seen anyone allowed to act the way he did today.

 

hanging around the tunnel just before the team went out, making a point of talking to each of his team-mates in full view of the cameras. then after the first goal he came out of the stands and into the technical area to hug adebayor. is anyone that's not in the matchday squad permitted to do that?

 

perhaps he wanted to make a point about there being no problem with wenger and his commitment to the club, but for someone not actually taking part in the match he seemed to have a lot of freedom to come and go as and where he pleased.

 

at best i thought he was unprofessional, at worst i thought he was downright arrogant. whatever the explanation was, i think he was pretty shameless in his egotism.

 

 

 

judging from wenger's post-match interview on motd, i suspect the manager is not altogether enamoured of henry and his behaviour in the last day or two.

I didn't watch the game. But I watched some Arsenal games this season and to me Henry is just s****! May be not as bad as Gudjohnsen, but still s****. He missed so many chances that Cesc and co creates. Well, it would have been OK, but after anybody other misses a chance he shows how frustrated he is and he even yells at them. Who is he? Overrated t*** IMO!

So glad that Barca didn't buy him. He had good shot/finish and pace, but it seems that his finish is s**** now and he is slow.

To be honest it didn't bother me seeing him prancing about. What I did find interesting like you said was Wenger's post match interview. He said something like "We'll both have to have a sit down and sort it out" I mean either he's injured and can't or shouldn't play or was he referring to something else. Now I know not all injuries are black and white (i.e. Henry could and wants to play but in the long run Wenger want's him to recover 100%) but it just seemed like he was referring to something other than an injury.

This is not a body language post btw but I did find it interesting

Henry's too good for Barcelona

embarrassing performance

[DonRafa]

Henry's recent behaviour and obvious discontent with Wenger is as clear a 'come and get me LFC' plea as you could want to see!

Henry overrated? And Guðjohnsen has been pretty decent for Barca this season so get that sand out of your vagina dudette.

i thought it was a PR'd, studied insult to wenger to be honest. backed up at the emirates recently when arsenal ran out to the PA announcing 'and here's thierry henry's arsenal'. most odd.
