Thierry Henry

Haha, nice.

What if Wenger went with the back 4 that got us there. Eboue-Senderos-Kolo-Flamini?
What if Arsene started Reyes, a player who had contributed 20 goals and assists that year ahead of Hleb for example?

Henry wasn’t suited to playing up front on his own. Going down to ten men hindered his play even more and depleted his energy. He needed a sidekick. Jose Antonio Reyes. Yes this is just an excuse to post the video below. CWD comps>>>> :cry:

Was a hard call either way regarding the defence. I mean to not start Sol Campbell and Ashley Cole in a Champions League final when fit and available is a big one. That defence as brilliant as they were in the competition were still very inexperienced.

20 years ago today we signed the King :heart_eyes_cat:

Always liked this guy. By no means a superstar, but you could always count on him to do a job wherever you put him.

Each to their own, but I think he’s more in the Milner category. There’s talent, but what you get is a real hard-working, serviceable player that the fans can really relate to.

I feel like we are getting trolled here.

Yeah that’s what I thought when I saw the birthday post too, the bloke hasn’t played for us in ages.

But he is a legend here? Not that weird in the case, is it?

Yeah and what I was saying is I always liked the guy when he was here. Not sure what you disagree on? lol

The not superstar part, initially.

Yeah like I said each to their own, my point is just that the guy could do a job no matter where you put him.

Sure, it’s not the generic view of ‘superstar’ but I think the high regard he is held in among us gunners is evidence that this guy is a likeable player.

Give the bloke a break ffs

Fair enough. I just think that a player who was basically an one-man army on his peak should be considered a superstar. That Real Madrid goal was something that he consistently did :smile:.
