Thanks man

Being twatted 4-0 atm. with Bayern hardly breaking a sweat. Expected.

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Bayern are twatting India, don't think that's the correct thing to do in a testimonial.

 

[XTerminator]

I'd love to see a double digit score, but Bayern are only playing on first gear.

BBC Sport - Commentary - Thierry Henry scores on Arsenal return

Epic by Motson, seemed to lose his breath after sometime

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Ok time to switch to ten sports and relive the epic moment.

 

[Liverpool_fan]

Goodbye Baichung. The only recognizable Indian footballer for some time and probably for more time as well.

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Good that they held back in the 2nd half.Getting beat by double figures in your last game must be no fun.

Great quotes from AW and Henry

Arsenal manager Wenger embraced Henry after his goal and said: “It was a dream. The story you’d tell some young kids about football. Unfortunately, it’s not often like that in our game, but sometimes it happens.”

Henry produced a classic side-foot finish after being found by Alex Song inside the Leeds penalty area and Wenger added: “When he was in this position, I thought, ‘Oh, that’s your angle but it’s a bit too close’, that’s where it surprised me. He didn’t force the shot and still made it look easy.

Arsene Wenger described Thierry Henry’s incredible goalscoring return to Arsenal as a “dream”

"I thought he’d take a very strong inside shot but that he was a bit too far to the left, yet he always had that special finishing.

“That was the Thierry Henry finishing.”

Henry claims he will never forget his latest goal for the Gunners and is targeting even more before he returns to the MLS next month.

He said: “I will always remember tonight. I don’t know why but, when it comes to Arsenal, something happens with me. Sometimes in a bad way, but most of the time in a good way.

“It’s weird – when I came back from holiday in Mexico 15 days ago, I never thought I would play for Arsenal again, let alone score the winner.

“I don’t know what to say. I love the club. I want to help out at the end of the day and, hopefully, I can do more. I hope it won’t be the last one.

“The feeling when I scored was amazing. I’m enjoying the club as a fan. Scoring a goal when you support a team, now I know what the guys at Chelsea, Liverpool and United feel when they score.”

Kompany gets a 4 match ban. Good for the scousers.

 

[Liverpool_fan]

Wouldn't it be 5? 4 + 1 for "frivolous" appeal?

To think of it, a proper tackle leads to dismissal from a key game and the team paying with it by being knocked out and missing 4 bloody games. Joke really.

Not complaining though, he is a key player for them.

On the other hand, Wooney gets away with a disgraceful tackle by reducing his ban to 2 games. FA, consistency indeed.

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Not all appeals are deemed frivolous.If you get banned for punching someone in the face and then appeal against it,they are likely to deem it as frivolous appeal.

Henry is temporary, Chamakh is permanent.

 

[Krow]

Why don't useless players like Chamakh get crocked and the good ones stay?

 

[Liverpool_fan]

Why don't cvnts like Tevez (we can all agree on that) get injured for a season and nice blokes like Lucas remain fit?

Interesting article from F365.

if liverpool sell him,then there are hardly any strikers left...

 

[Liverpool_fan]

EDIT: Stopped reading after the first line. Meh.

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

10 million
That is what he was actually worth last January.
35m for Andy Carroll

 

[Liverpool_fan]

To be fair, Torres wasn't worth any more than 30M. And considering AOC was bought for 12M in the summer, Carroll a more established player was worth at least 15M especially with inflated prices in January.

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

All the net spend talk is straw clutching.The fact is, Liverpool had 50 million to spend whichever way they wanted.
Suffice to say, torching the cash would have been a more productive option, than what Kenny and Camolli did with it.

 

[Liverpool_fan]

Agreed. But there's no point of collecting cash either. Better to spend cash on a player with potential (even though he's presently average) than it being not spent at all. Obviously keeping the cash and buying the likes of Ba, Cabaye, Tiote, etc. would have been lot better but that is hindsight at its finest.

Even more foolish will be to sell him IMO. He definitely has potential. Selling him for a low price would be a joke.

 

[Kl@w-24]

^ I though Carrol cost -15M.
