Dirty Leeds in the only trophy we can win.

Arshavin seemed to break a sweat for once and was constantly wanting the ball, the effort was there and showed shades of the player he can be bar his finishing. Very low on confidence and is clearly evident for the rest of the players to see hence every little thing he done was greeted by TH12 with encouragement and geeing him up, still can't stop smiling today after the euphoria of last night!

As a gooner who has been recently converted to becoming 100% committed in terms of following the Arsenal more and reading more about them, I felt so relieved when Henry got that goal in - you couldn't write it, eh? Watching the match was so frustrating with Arshavin working hard but not quite connecting those goals and good work from the young Chamberlain. I was feeling all this dominating the possession and nothing to show for it, something has to happen. Watching them in the pub adn seeing the reaction of fellow gooners to Henry's legendary return. Seeing that goal was magic and brought much needed relief to the tenseness of not getting anythign for so long. I hope he can help get a few more in before he returns this season.

An amazing finale to what otherwise was another unconvincing performance.

Arteta captaining the side an acknowledgement of his recent influential performances.

Thought the first half was dire, the Leeds away support impressive and loud as ever puuting the grove to shame.

Second half was an improvement. Stadium erupted when Thierry came off the bench.

Was initially impressed with Henry bullying his marker when receiving the ball from the throw-in that led to the goal.

Trademark Henry goal, being in posession on the left, opening his body beautifully and delicately placing the ball into the far corner.

Celebrations from Thierry himself and the crowd were great, I was lucky to be near the front of block 7 where the goal and celebrations all happened.

My man of the match was Ramsey, tireless running and usual excellent creative play. Special mention to Alex OC who again impressed on the right. Fast, strong, with tricks and an eye for goal. Tired before being subbed but a very exciting prospect.

Thought Yennaris was very good after coming on at right back and was good to see Miguel keen to get forward from left back.

Arshavin seemed to have the bit between the teeth but the harder he tried the more his end product failed. Still a big improvement from recent displays.

Chamack received the ball in good positions twice but elected to lay the ball off on both occasions, confidence went months ago.

Then enter Henry for a night that will go down in history. As a mate said to me "Endure weeks, months and even years of rubbish for the last minute wins, great comebacks and never to be missed moments".

Will always remember last night.

Thats a bit harsh i think. So going by your argument, scholes going back to UTD is the same thing & that makes Ferguson a reclue as well?

First of all, I have no idea what a reclue is?
Secondly, I don't give a fuck what's going on at Utd, I care about Arsenal
Thirdly, Wenger has fucked up (yet again) hugely by only having Mary Ann and Park, two of the worst strikers ever at Arsenal, as back up to Robin....so much so that he had to do his biggest PR exercise yet and bring back Titi.
What happens when. Henry goes back at the end of his loan period? We are well and truly fucked, but hey, no problem, we are supposed to be interested in Kalou, yet another African, yet another cast off from a rival. Arsene Wenger - truly an incompetent banker.
