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.

The irony in a former player coming back for 2 months doing more than Chamakh in 12 months isn't lost on me. I'm glad you are all happy but I can see things are very wrong as fans and manager will see this as the way forward.
Yes, just you. We played poorly. Chamakh awful etc etc etc. But Thierry Henry scoring on his second debut after 5 years away..... !!
Of course he isn't the answer. I don't think he'll actually start a game for us while on loan. But if he never played for us again then I would still cherish that moment !
It provides AW with the perfect smoke screen for the ongoing problems that he has created.
Having TH around for a few weeks will deflect attention from the other shortcomings. At least The Sham will have fucked off for a few weeks.
Before you know it the season will be over and we will be listening to how well the young team have done and that a couple of clever summer signings will put us in a good place to compete for the Europa Cup.
In the meantime I allow myself (for a short time) to pretend we have gone back to the glory days of Highbury when we used to win things and watch the master at his best.

Good for you, remember that moment when we finish 6th after Henry has gone and we haven't bought anyone this window. Bravo, next you'll be singing one ARSENE.........
Henry tonight showed what a fool Wenger is.A semi retired footballer showed up Wenger for having Chamakh and Park as back up strikers.We have been lucky RVP hasnt got injured.
Please, just please can there be zero negativity on this forum tonight after what's just happened? Seeing that really has reminded us all of TH's Highbury years, and it's something to get away from how bad things have been this season. Let's just celebrate for a minute?
There was a lot during the game to be negative about....but Thierry is King again. My favourite Arsenal player ever and he showed his class. Definitely my favourite moment of the season. He looked absolutely shattered though at the end. Bring him back as manager with Dennis. Arsenal through and through.
Anyone notice that none of our subs came on during the half time interval to warm up or play keepy uppy ? Maybe TH was giving everyone a good grilling on how to win a football match for The Arsenal ?
