On Thierry Henry, handball and Ireland + Eduardo, Gibbs good news

Arseblog 19 November @ 02:51 AM EST

Morning, morning.

FUCK YOU INTERLULL. I HOPE YOU GET KNOCKED DOWN BY A BUS. THEN RAPED BY A BEAR. IN THE FACE.

Leaving aside the fact we've had no Arsenal for two weeks the hysteria over last night's handball by Thierry Henry has been ludicrous. The ire of Ireland fans I can fully understand but the vitriol levelled at Henry from some quarters has been way over the top.

Arsenal fans must NOT respond to the Wenger chant

The Goon Blog - an Arsenal blog. 03 September @ 06:49 AM EST

Alright you lot,

for the very first time the Wenger chant was discussed on the radio this morning. Yes, it is 13 years too late but something has to be done about this chant. United are the main culprits but as seen here, Sp*rs fans are fond of it too.
