As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

He's probably right but I wont hold my breath waiting for him to come out and say the same thing about Kroenke
I heard him too and couldnt believe what I was hearing. Pity he isnt so direct when talking about Wenger. But where Arsene is concerned Henry is so full of shit I swear he'll float away.

1. He almost won the league just 2 seasons ago with a squad that cost far less to assemble than Citeh/Chelski/ManYoo/Arsenal
2. He has 2nd highest win percentage of any PL Liverpool manager
3. He has the 5th/6th largest wage bill and is finishing...5th/6th
I'll also ignore that his team came to the Emirates and outplayed us just a few weeks ago...
Liverpool have seen how mediocre the club is doing, they've seen an opportunity for a better available manager to take over and they've got rid. What makes it even more gutting as an Arsenal fan is that like Arsenal, Liverpool is run by greedy Yanks - but they seem to actually have some ambition?!
I've not done the maths, but I think Benteke, Ings, Clyne, Lovren, Gomez, Can, Firmano, Lallana, Origi etc cost a few quid.
Plus, comparing his record to other Liverpool PL managers is like saying Wes Brown is the best Sunderland defender.
The Victim's show no sign of improving under his visionary leadership. I loved Carragher's comment that "they're turning into Tottenham". I suspect that was the final nail.

His Dortmund team were a joy to watch, best football I have seen outside of our 2002 - 2004 period.
Beat Bayern many many times over the tenure of his duration there.
Still don't see it to be honest
I suppose it's how you define "fuck all".
He won back-to-back Bundesliga titles and got to the CL final. All on a relatively tight budget whilst playing an appealing brand of high energy, attacking football (I think he also won the German FA Cup a couple of times too)
To me, that's anything but fuck all. Credit where it's due, mate. Surely?
TBH I never saw what people saw in Rogers. He inherited most of that Swansea side his reputation was built on, just as he inherited a lot of that Mouser side that nearly won the league but slipped (fnar! fnar! ) up at the death.
Not sure why people are singing the praises of the Mouser Board either - they basically hamstrung Rogers by selling Suarez and Sterling out from under him. Which was nice. And then they sack him because he failed to deliver? Talk about loading the gun!
Hoping they don't get Klopp because he can only make them better, not necessarily good enough to win the PL, but certainly better than they are.
