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.
Some asshole at work pretty much told me Henry scored before I got home to watch the game (recorded), but even then I was shivering watching Henry score. Absolutely beautiful moment, and the passion he bleeds for the club is truly heartwrenching.
That classy finish was brilliant, too. Vintage low-right curler. The way he beat the offside trap was world class and the result, well, not more needs to be said.

well played henry....fuck off passionless arsenal fans
When he was about to come on it showed a pic of some fans about to take a photo of him with an Arsenal camera - how fcuking more cringeworthy can you get ?? Even my missus said to me at the time that the amount of fans taking photo's was truly embarassing
I heard Nasri was in the crowd last night too. Take note Samir, there's an Arsenal legend for ya. You instead are but a mere footnote on the timeline of AFC you greedy lesbian.
An incredible night. Was lucky enough to be directly in line with him in North Bank lower as he received the ball for the goal. Classic Henry the way he opened his body and gently placed the ball in the far corner.
The way he celebrated showed what it meant to him.
That moment was simply what football is all about.
i felt privileged to be there on such a momentous night.
a few points:
the Emirates can actually make a noise when it feels like it
Henry showed more effort and passion in those 20 minutes than Chamakh has done in his entire Arsenal career
for a few minutes everyone was transported back to the Invincibles era but I can't have been the only one who thought that for the first hour the current team played complete utter rubbish
what a moment. not much to say really, i was at work just jumping around and screaming like mad. it's one of those moments that make football worth it. i was there thinking "you know what, he's old now, he's not gonna do what he used to, hey good ball, oh god is it, OH MY FUCKING GOD OOOOOHHHHHHHHH GOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL"
what a player. fucking hell, how we have missed that guy

Truly special night, I was a bit apprehensive when TH came on that he wouldn't get a kick, so when he scored it was a feeling of euphoria.
On a cynical note, Wenger milking it with his arms around TH was nauseating. Sign a striker you *word censored*, last night proved just how much we need decent cover for RVP.
A truly shit boring performance for 70 minutes, a Gooner nightmare with Chamakh, the fat Russian and Squiddily Diddily plus Ramsey's carelessness, Song's stupidity, another fullback injured .........
...... and then ........ God is a Gooner!
Also, given that we generally play at a snail's pace these days, TH12 could be just what we're looking for. The intelligence to find a yard of space in the box, the first touch, a willingness to shoot and the skill and composure to do it properly.
I know that the situation's more complicated than this, but for now I'm just going to be happy and a little bit positive.
You bastard! Don't remind us!
