Thierry Henry has returned to play for the Gunners on loan from the New York Red Bulls of
MLS.
Real Madrid wants Robin Van Persie. Look at my face: I am not happy right now.
Rather than just writing one opinion piece, I typically try to gather as much information from
around the World Wide Web and condense it with my own commentary added. This week we've got Real
Madrid pursuing Van Persie, Mourinho gunning for Arsene's job, Kieran Gibbs returns from a long
layoff to strengthen the defense, and a hobbled Jack Wilshere all torn up about England's national
team losing its coach just months before the Euro 2012.
The Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has had a fairytale return to the Gunners, scoring within ten
minutes of his debut against Leeds, and also scoring in the last minutes of his final appearance at
the Emirates. Arsene Wenger hinted that he may try and extend the loan period so that he could be
part of [.
The newest Arsenal starlet Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has burst onto the scene since the New Year and
is already being tipped as a certainty to go to the Euro 2012 tournament with England this summer.
But the youngster himself is keeping his feet on the ground and is more than happy to just listen
and learn [.
Just before Christmas Arsene Wenger made it clear that Chu-Young Park was now settled in London and
ready to step-up to the Arsenal first team when Gervinho and Chamakh went off to the African
Nations Cup. He said: "The adaptation period for him is over now so he has to come in and show he
[...]
Arsenal 7-1 Blackburn Rovers
It may sound a tad melodramatic, but I've not enjoyed watching Arsenal as much this season as I
should have done. All the peripheral stuff has been as fun as ever the Saturday morning
anticipation, hopping on the tube, having a pint before the game and chinwagging with the usual
motley crew.
Arsene Wenger seems to be considering rotating the Arsenal team, and it could probably do with a
good shake-up after four games without a win, and the foremost problem is deciding who will replace
Robin Van Persie as the main striker. Marouane Chamakh is returning from a very disappointing
African Nations Cup for the Moroccan [.
There are rumours that Arsene Wenger is considering giving Robin Van Persie a break this weekend
against Blackburn to try and freshen him up for the three upcoming away games against Sunderland,
AC Milan and (probably) Sunderland again. Van Persie has scored 21 goals in 23 games this season,
but his shooting hasn't been quite [.
It is great news that both Mikel Arteta and Thierry Henry are returning from injury this week, but
although it is certain that these two will be starting against Aston Villa in the FA Cup this
weekend, who else will Wenger be putting in the starting line-up. Wenger has made it clear that his
ultimate [.
So then, this is what heartache feels like. This is what it means to have the figurative
broken heart. I have decided I don't like this feeling, at all. And I want it to go away.
Needlessto say, many hard-core Arsenal fans like myself are in agony at this moment in time. The
team that we love so desperately appears to be dead.
Frustration is boiling over at the Emirates- an underperforming squad has started 2012 in a well
documented poor fashion.
Sadly the return of the King Thierry Henry has been tarnished by some mindless fans at Swansea
on Sunday aggravating the Frenchman.
The Gunners have now lost two league games on the bounce and languish well behind their title
rivals and crucially are four points behind Chelsea in forth.
Arsene Wenger has welcomed Thierry Henry back to Arsenal on a short term loan, and whilst talking
about the Gunners record goalscorer he has admitted that the Frenchman moved to Barcelona as he
wanted to win some more trophies before he retired. In a scenario strikingly similar to today's
problem with Robin Van Persie, Henry [.
There are no excuses, yesterday we were outplayed and outfought by a newly promoted side, as
Swansea beat us 3-2 to seriously dent our hopes of making the top four.
The penalty decision was questionable, yes, but as has been the problem recently, we were not up
for this game at all.
Here we are in the January transfer window, and we are all excited over the new stars
that will be coming to the Emirates.
There is talk of this one, and talk of that one. Yet behind all the hype in the press you have
Wenger telling us what I am afraid is going to be a very big disappointment for us all, and that is
they do not want to spend any money with this financial crisis going to only get worse.
Wallowing in the glory of Henry's movie-moment comeback was not meant to last all week, but for
me it has. The YouTube video I breathlessly uploaded at about midnight on Monday has now had about
37,000 hits (and Analytics tell me 90.6% of those who watched it were male, with 9.7% female how do
they know this I wonder – though my brother did confidently predict that he had watched it "about
28,000 times" so maybe there's some truth in that).
Arsene Wenger is very happy to have the Arsenal legend Thierry Henry back in the squad, and is keen
for him to play against Swansea on Sunday but doesn't believe he is ready to play the whole 90
minutes yet although he is not far off. So now the Arsenal manager has to decide to [...]
So, it's that time of the year again when the MLS superstars come back to the Europe. Last
season there was talk of Thierry Henry and David Beckham returning to the Premier League but
nothing came of it. As for this season, what a treat we have been given!
This blog was originally going to compare who would have the bigger impact between Robbie Keane
and Henry during their two months back, but after Monday night's performance from the latter I
don't think there's really much of an argument.
Will Thierry Henry start up front with RVP at Swansea on Sunday? Probably not I reckon, AW has
stayed coy over his plans but if he didn't start him in the 1-0 win over Leeds in the FA Cup then
he's hardly likely to in a Premier League game with three vital points at stake is he? But Henry
did make a dramatic goal-scoring cameo in that game.
Arsene Wenger took a chance when he brought Thierry Henry back to Arsenal after five years away,
but he was rewarded within ten minutes of putting Henry on the pitch against Leeds in last nights
FA Cup tie. But even Wenger thought that the Gunners legend wouldn't be able to score from that
position. He [.
If ever there was a match made in Heaven in the footballing world, it would have to be between
Arsenal and Thierry Henry, who have found each other again after a five-year absence, with the
magic the same as it ever was.
It was an otherwise drab encounter, with little to get excited about as a makeshift Arsenal team
struggled to break down a determined and dogged Leeds side coming with only one intention a
lucrative replay.
Arsenal 1-0 Leeds
I have nothing long-winded to say about this. There are times when raw emotion wins out.
On that note, enjoy.
The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has made it clear that Thierry Henry has not just been signed as
a back up, but he will be putting him straight into the team to play Leeds, although he doesn't
think he is ready to play a full 90 minutes yet. "I'm pleased to sign Henry because it [...]
The returning Arsenal legend Thierry Henry is well aware that he doesn't have the same speed that
helped him become a world beater ten years ago, but he is certain he can contibute in other ways,
even if he doesn't play. He said: "Right from the start, as I said, it looks more like I [...]
It's that time of year again when I allow myself to go all misty-eyed about the FA Cup while the
less sentimental (and perhaps younger) among us tut-tut and denounce the old jug as a busted
flush.
The Champions League is bigger, bolder, more watched, more important and above all more
lucrative than the FA Cup, this we all know.
Arsene Wenger brought in Ju-Young Park from Monaco this summer as competition for the mis-firing
Marouane Chamakh, and was convinced he would be a great addition to the Arsenal squad. Wenger said
on his arrival: "We are delighted to have signed Ju. He will add true quality to our attacking
forces and will be a [.
The imminent resigning of Arsenal Legend Thierry Daniel Henry has left speculators, pundits and
critics undecided about the impact this might have on the Arsenal squad. It is easy to overlook the
Wenger & Henry combination which has proved to be successful on and off for approximately twenty
years.
Truth be told I'd prefer the 2002 vintage, but I'd be lying if I said I was completely cold
about the possible return of Sir Thierry of Henry. It's difficult not to be taken in by the romance
of our all-time top scorer coming back for a few months, even if he is now one score and fourteen
years old.
The Arsenal winger Theo Walcott has made it clear that he won't be giving Thierry Henry his old
shirt Number 14 back, no matter how long he stays at the club! He said: "I've got Thierry's shirt
number now but he's not getting it back — even if he comes back for a while. I've [...]
Thierry Henry has agreed to rejoin Arsenal on a two-month loan deal from New York Red Bulls, Arsene
Wenger has confirmed.
The former Gunners captain, who left the club for Barcelona in 2007, has been training at London
Colney during the Major League Soccer off-season and has impressed Wenger who is looking for
short-term cover while Gervinho and Marouane Chamakh are away on Africa Cup of Nations Duty.
The Arsenal legend Nigel Winterburn thinks that Arsene Wenger has taken a gamble by signing Thierry
Henry, but thinks it will be excellent if he can impress the fans and reproduce his past
goalscoring heroics, but he is als leaving himself open to criticism if it all goes wrong!
Winterburn said: "I hope everything works [.
As we saw from the second half of the Wolves game, this Arsenal team is more than capable of
creating chances and dominating the opposition all over the pitch, but as we saw from the first
half at 1-0 against an 'easy' team, they go to sleep.
We've recently seen United win 5-0 twice in a row always hungry for more goals, always wanting
to thrash the opposition, something Arsenal have only really managed once this season away to
Wigan.

There are loads of snippets of Arsenal transfer news about this morning, but most of them seem to
be total speculation without any quotes whatsoever, but it is my duty to pass them on to interested
Arsenal fans. The first one has Arsenal and just about every other top Premier League club
interested in signing [.
Thierry Henry is now back in London and was in the stands watching Arsenal's draw against Wolves on
Tuesday, and it seems that he is seriously considering rejoining Arsenal for the next two months to
cover for Marouane Chamakh and Gervinho. The Telegraph this morning reports that fruitful talks
have been held between Henry and [.
Terry Henry was a sensation at Arsenal. He remains a Gunners legend. But to sign him on loan for a
couple of months would be a mistake. Yes, he scored goals for fun and spearheaded us to glory many
times, not least of all during the season we went unbeaten in the Premier League. At no point am I
denying he was one of the best players we have ever had.

All the latest Arsenal transfer news on the grapevie this morning is concerning the possible loan
move for Thierry Henry after Arsene Wenger admitted that a short-term (6 week) signing would be
"ideal", but there is still much discussion before the New York Red Bulls would consider giving
permission for that to happen.
The Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has reaffirmed his love for the club when the Gunners honoured the
Frenchman with a statue at the Emirates, and is currently keeping fit in the MLS close season by
training with Arsenal. Arsene Wenger has already stated that he will be short of strikers when both
Gervinho and Marouane [.
The celebration of Arsenal's 125th anniversary recently has led to the erection of three Arsenal
legends namely Thierry Henry, Tony Adams and Herbert Chapman. Many questioned Henry's credentials
to have a statue outside the Emirates. This is because Henry left the club in 2007 due to declining
form and the desire to wanting to win [.
