Didn't think Theo was any worse than Ramsey, Arshavin, Benayoun, even RVP did fuck all apart from the goal tonight.

The whole team were utter shite. If the fans should have abused anyone, it should have been AW. At least Theo has the decency to come across and applaud the travelling gooners which is more than you can say about other players.

Agreed mate,and if he "loved" Arsenal as much as he makes out he would not have fucked off to Barcelona!!!
Basically,he is just trousering 70k a week on a jolly in the U.K. with free use of a gym,and training facilities!!! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I reckon he still looks better than some of the super quality athletes in our squad. Lets be honest, it was him or nothing, who are we actually going to sign?

Sorry, I love the man to bits but TBH it's like watching a circus side -show.

As great as Monday night was from a nostalgic point of view, it's the bigger picture that says "We've got to rely on a past hero to help us out" instead of " Think we need to sign a striker"

Think today was the day RVP took a good long look & thought fuck hanging around here for the rest of my playing career.

The wheels have come off, thanks Arsene but....

don't listen to them mate.

its a shame how fickle and cynical modern football fans are these days. I guess the consolation is now we can weed out the *word censored* from the actual support.

I said the Henry signing was disastrous......not because of the man himself, I love Titi, but it means Wenger won't even look at signing a forward when we really need one.
At the end of the day, the things that are costing us are basics like formation, tactics and training. :roll:

Agreed, we all know its a paper up crack job, if he's not fit to play 90 mins then you know its purely to sell shirts and sell tickets.

I have lost count of the times that I saw Henry play for us home and away,PL,CL,FA cup,Carling Cup,and(despite Henry Norris implying that I am just a "fickle" JCL),I loved TH14.
However,I am realistic enough to see this loan deal for what it is:-
1, A money making enterprise for the Club via shirt sales,increased ticket sales to tourists,and other merchandising opportunities.
2, A payday for Henry,(which is almost a testimonial by another name).
3, A smoke and mirrors way of papering over the cracks in the deficiencies in our squad,and the lack of available funds in our transfer budget!!!

We all accept that we won't make signings in January (barely in the summer as well), but I'd rather have a past his best Henry than that lazy, useless Russian. At least Henry cares if we win or lose ..
