Even if they didn't *word censored* him off at the game, Rugby Gooner et all are doing it now.

That bloke doesn't like any foreigner on the team it seems. Funny he wasnt posting that shite about Henry on monday night, fucking moron.

Frank would you turn down playing for Arsenal, because you felt there were better players around? Its nonsense how can people criticise Henry for accepting the offer to return?

I can see the temptation, but surely he can see the problems. By following Wenger's plan all he's doing is compounding the problem. Just my opinion.

I am 100% against Henry's return BUT he deserves no abuse for the shit that is going on. None of this is his fault. One thing I will note - and I say this as someone who goes to the odd away games - is that our fans are willing to point the blame everywhere except the one fucking place it's due. That useless turnip c*** Wenger.

He picks them, he pays them.

Funny how he talks about what a bad idea the Jan window is, yet had no issues with it when it came to signing his lover Diaby, and getting Arshavin to save his season when Villa were odds-on to get 4th eh?

Never mind. Not even Messi, Xavi and Goetze could save this shower of crap.

Wenger's Comeuppance is round the corner and I'll be getting ringside seats for it...His arrogance and ego will come full circle.

I repeat: Henry is a past it marketing stunt, his signing is a joke, BUT the shit we are going through is, imo, not at all any of his fault. He was happily taking his pensions in the MLS until that dickwad Wenger calls him up??

Hows that?
Wenger would have had to buy a striker. :roll:
Really....? I think he'd have made do with Park or called Bendter back from his loan!

Thought Henry showed some good touches today. At least his pass accuracy rate must have been up at the 90% mark.

Theo though.... Better in the second half. But had to be. Awful in the first.... Sometimes the guy just looks out of place on a football pitch.

I agree for once

Bear in mind Henry hasnt done much wrong yet and some minority already want to lash out at him, I really think these fans would have no problem cunting of Bergkamp or Adams if they came back in a management capacity, so I hope they dont.

And yes Wenger is too blame.

Wenger was getting shit from loads of people around me. Just because the odd "One Arsene Wenger" is heard at away games, doesn't mean that a silent majority don't want him out. Believe me, if we don't finish top 4, the majority will be wanting him out.

As for Henry. His intentions are honourable, but at the end of the day he should have walked away from this one. He is simply aiding Wenger's penny-pinching. Just remembers that footballers look after Number 1. He was shipped out of Arsenal because he was dominating the dressing room, then pocketed a big bonus as part of his new contract and fucked off to Barca months later. Despite what you say this is an ego trip.

He'd HAVE to?

Really? He's never bought when we really "had to" before. Do you think if Henry hadnt have come in he would have really bought a striker? You have to start getting realistic frank.

Signing Henry on loan has nothing to do with not buying a striker ,rthe loaning out of players we should have sold IS.

We have loaned out the useless Denilson and the profligate waster Bendtner so no cash is available there especially after signing Gervino.

We need defenders more than Strikers though But dont see to many of them coming either.

The club will continue to sell and sell and trouser the profits until there is no-one else to sell.

Gazidis Kroenke Wenger remind me of the GM , Owner,and stats man of the Oakland A's in baseball and the club is being run like it too !

If we finish outside the top four there will be changes I am quite convinced of it, the one thing that talks to the board is money...so no Champions League money, the lack of club level seats being sold (who would want to shell out money for a Europa League team, a team that was promised would be able to compete at the highest level upon moving to a new ground), lack of seats in general being sold and a supporter back lash will surely mean Wengers time is up

Don't you believe it daybreak ,they will simply sell all the valuable players including Van Persie and then build up again with even cheaper models .

The "marketing genius's" that advise Arsenal are of the opinion that as long as you sell the corporate Box's ,the club will always be able to sell enough match day tickets to the floating fan ,and they might well be right .

Corporate entertainers dont look at the price tag or the success of the team,and Arsenal are still a tourist attraction.

Season ticket Holders are not seen as the lifeblood and backbone of the Club,more a low income ingratiating inconvenience to be tolerated .

Low income I here you say ??? Yes exactly that .Season ticket holders are the least likely to buy from the Armoury or from the expensive F+B outlets !

They also know we are the least likely to riot, destroy and pillage ,which is makes us pliable in their eyes.

We haven't walked after 5 years of shit,why then will we walk now ?

Not my thinking theirs !

What is scaring people the most is that nothing looks like improving year on year so tensions are boiling over at anyone and everything.
From what I could gather TH12 reacted to abuse directed at Theo.
Shouldn't have got involved IMO and shouldn't be telling fans who've invested bucketloads of time and cash to travel and watch this shite what to think or do.

Bad move on his part but I suppose he was pissed off too.

^^^This +1

People saying that henry shouldnt be abused etc are choosing to totally ignore the fact that he wasnt the target of abuse and chose to have a go at a fan for abusing poor little feo walnut :lol:

Secondly why shouldnt fans feel the right to have a go at players ? They spend big fcuking money supporting this team, many of whom are total cnuts, and deserve to get more in return than is currently the case :evil: When players demand 85k per week (and I am only using feo as an example cos there are others) and are absolute shit in most of the games and show no sign of improving then they are entitled to receive a barrage of abuse imo 8)

Lastly I will also say that wenger does deserve the largest share of the abuse but he doesnt go over near the fans after the game but instead scurries down the tunnel to plan his latest excuses for the post match interviews :roll: :oops:

1. Can't believe Henry didn't know what he was letting himself in for when he came back..... And he must also know how frustrating it can be watching Walcott play!

2. Thought he was brought back mainly to give RVP a rest in cup games. Surprised that he came on as early as the 63rd minute yesterday..... Pretty obvious that he would be on from the start if RVP got injured. Scary thought given his obvious lack of fitness.

3. The only striker we are missing at the moment through injury/ACN is Chamakh...... So I think this is the essential spot to fill during the January transfer window - and not by Henry! Don't think we will though......

As usual Frank, I agree with your sentiment in that Henry shouldn't have come back.

I don't think that it's all an ego trip, as to me he proved his worth by staying a year longer than he should after Paris 2006.

Not for one minute do I believe Wenger would have bought a striker, so it is a helpful short term gap.

So would Robbie Keane have been, but he would't make millions for the board....
