Fabio Capello isn't the only former England manager looking for a new gig. Sven-Goran Eriksson, out of work since he was sacked by Leicester in October, decided to join the many others offering their services for the Leeds job recently vacated by Simon Grayson. But Leeds chairman and cantankerous owl Ken Bates, was less than receptive to his offer.

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 [.

Eng-lish Pre·mi·um/ing'liSH ˈprēmēəm/Noun: An amount to be paid on top of any given football transfer fee to recognise the paltry significance of said footballer hailing from these sceptred isles and will hopefully therefore play with 'bags of passion', etc.

A week is a long time in football. Seven days ago we were preparing for a league game against Manchester United, a game from which we hoped to get points, primarily, and restore some confidence after a couple of miserable results previously. Clearly that worked out well.

We've spent the last week poring over that game, the incidents, the manager's decision making and everything else.

With Nico Yennaris making his debut against Leeds in the FA cup this month and making another appearance as a substitute against Manchester United we have seen another youngster making [.

It's funny how the English media mock the quality of Major League Soccer, but guess where Premier League teams turned to this month to help their sides? Yep, MLS.

First we had the Galaxy's Landon Donovan going back to Everton on loan and then the NYRB's Thierry Henry returned to Arsenal, where he promptly scored the winner in their FA Cup tie against Leeds.

The young Arsenal defender Ignasi Miquel played against Leeds in the last round of the FA Cup (the last game that Arsenal actually won) and he is looking forward to another run-out against Aston Villa this weekend, but he has warned his team-mates not to take the game lightly if they want to go all [.

If Paul Jewell were to be sacked today, I really don't think I'd feel any sorrow.
Don't get me wrong: I'm not starting any protests to demand he be removed from my club. (As I've long been saying - changing managers on a regular basis is not going to get us anywhere.) But I am rapidly losing patience with him.

Morning all,

and let's start with some good news, for a change. Word is Thomas Vermaelen could be in line to play against United later on. He trained with the first team yesterday and assuming all went well it means he'll start the game at left back. It'll certainly add some solidity to a back four which could really do with it at the moment, but we ought not to forget that our defensive issues aren't simply the domain of that group of players.

Before I launch into not writing the preview of a game that is barely 8 hours away at the time this is published, I'd like to say What the whaaaaat?

The purple is to make sure the extent of shock is clear. The girl is incidental. Really.

It was ok when Henry lumbered on against Leeds (don't get all self-righteous-Arsenal fan on me now, you know he looked slower.

Three years ago I moved to Yorkshire from East Anglia for work purposes: a move I share with one very special former Ipswich Town player. Can you figure out who?!
Leeds and Ipswich share a lot in their histories: Huge success in the past has brought respect to both teams but the difficult financial times that followed have seen them slip down the league tables in recent decades.

Thierry Henry went from hero to villain in just a matter of days when, following his amazing match winner against Leeds in the FA Cup, he remonstrated with an Arsenal fan to come onto the pitch after the game to have a word with the Frenchman.

Arsenal lost the match 3-2 with Swansea playing some excellent passing football, much in the same style as Arsenal, but won the game following a loose pass from Henry.

We're a bit in the doldrums here at Arsenal Arsenal. At the moment we're still numb from the defeat on Sunday and finding it hard to be upbeat and forward thinking. Our twin posts today are in celebration of the return of Thierry Henry. Hopefully our bloggers will come out from behind the sofa and remember the positives of this season so far, but don't let that stop you commenting on where we go from here.

Robbie Slater has taken Craig Foster to task over Fozzie's article/analysis of Melbourne Victory's Coaching appointment.
Fozzie's article is intelligent, well thought out and something we need in this country - even if you don't agree with it's sentiment.
It adds to our football intelligence, it makes us think.

The saddest part of this weekend wasn't so much another defeat, another goalless performance, another bamboozling post-match interview with Steve Cotterill, another game of mindless hoofball. I can even begin to acclimatise to the lack of effort the team seem to put in (which is depressing), but similar to the Leeds game it's the fact that Southampton didn't really have to try [.

My preview for the Leeds game was such a stunning success that I have been asked to write again on the subject. You will recall then we were playing the Yorkshire Grit (which is, as you will now know, made up of coarse sand grains and small stones).

Against such [.

Right then,

Swansea away today and a chance to keep pace/claw back some points on those above us in the table. The importance of the game can't be understated. The FA Cup game against Leeds provided us a fantastic moment and a talking point/feel-good factor that lasted all week, but at the same time seemed a bit surreal.

Robbie Keane is the latest MLSer to eschew a winter siesta for a short term loan overseas. In case you were wondering, Wikipedia tells us...

Wolves, Coventry City, Inter, Leeds (loan), Leeds (buy), Tottenham, Liverpool, Tottenham, Celtic, West Ham, LA Galaxy, Aston Villa.

That's not a career that's an intimacy problem.

The Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger told the fans that they could expect to see more of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the New Year, and he fulfilled that promise by giving him an hour against Leeds this week. But although Wenger is very happy with Chamberlain's progress, he thinks that he still needs to work on his [.

BBC pundit Mark Lawrenson reckons Thierry Henry won't find the net in another competitive game for Arsenal before he jets back to America. The ex-Liverpool defender is refusing to join the Henry love-in and says he would be happy to wager that Henry's days of scoring in the Premier League are over. In his BBC [.

The "Henry comeback" Leeds defeat in the FA Cup at Arsenal is obviously the main point of this weeks show.
But not to undermine our Championship players full credit and plaudits are also broadcast to them. Especially to our young kids in defense! Manager and player interviews and fan at the game reports about the Arsenal game and listener email comments too!

What an incredibly frustrating week not to be able to blog. Henry's return in the cup against Leeds, a dour affair until he emerged from the bench, was settled by three sublime touches a delicious through ball from Song, an immaculate piece of control, and a trademark cool finish to take the man to 227 goals for Arsenal and send thousands of Gooners into a mad bouncing frenzy.

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown is smacked in the head with a ball kicked from a Leeds player, who I suspect was aiming for Robbie Savage before Leeds 1-0 defeat to Arsenal in the FA Cup.

Why, top of the morning to you, and you, and you with the crooked nose as well. May a squadron of Twix bars find their way into your mouth by day's end, and may time go by as smoothly as Thierry's first touch. The day has gone by that smoothly in fact; exploding capacitors and leaking transformers having taken up so much of my time that this review is sinfully late (A word of caution- never put the positive pin of the capacitor into the negative pin of the battery, unless you want the electronic equivalent of the Vietnam War in your face)

The FA Cup game against Leeds can broadly be divided into two storylines playing out in parallel- a feel-good fairytale with returning Kings, and a tragicomedy about knights whose swords have been replaced by rubber ducks.

Morning all.

The dust has settled somewhat after Thierry's permasmile-inducing return against Leeds the other night, and such was the joy at the goal it's only now that I'm taking in the fact it's knocked Leeds out of the cup too. I do enjoy knocking Leeds out of the cup.

Now, however, we have to turn our attention back to the Premier League.

The youngster Ignasi Miquel was drafted into the makeshift Arsenal defence for the FA Cup tie against Leeds and was very pleased that they managed to keep a clean sheet despite having so many defensive injuries. Even after Coquelin was forced off with a hamstring problem and replaced by the even younger Nico Yennaris, the [.

10.01.2012 - Si no hay como el "vivo" qué más pedir que el "vivo in situ" (?). Así lo entienden los periodistas y comentaristas que se apostan en derredor del campo de juego para hacer las previas, con los riesgos que ello implica.
Ahora fue el turno de Martin Keown (ex jugador desde 2005 y devenido en comentarista) que, haciendo la (desigual) previa del Arsenal – Leeds (FA Cup) para ESPN, recibió un pelotazo en la cabeza.

One to cut out and keep for all those misty-eyed Gooners out there, Thierry Henry's trademark 'Thierry Henry' goal on his second Arsenal debut against Leeds last night...

"When he got in position, I thought 'oh, that's your angle'.

Such a poor match between Arsenal and Leeds in the 3rd round of the FA Cup last night... that is of course until Thierry Henry came on as a sub late in the game before scoring a great goal with just his 4th or 5th touch of the ball. A nice through-ball found Henry who had an excellent first touch then instant finish, placing the ball past the Leeds keeper in the far corner of the net.

One-nil to the Arsenal. Against Leeds. Thierry Henry (who came on for the last half an hour) scoring the only goal of the game, carving himself some room in the left channel and wafting a gossamer shot into the bottom right corner to send the Gunners into the next round.

It's not a trick of the eye, it's not a fancy photoshop job. That is indeed Thierry Henry in an Arsenal shirt, an Arsenal shirt of 2012, wheeling away to celebrate a goal.

And not just any goal, but an Henry goal. Song played in a brilliant through ball that split the two covering defenders, Henry took one touch to control the ball, and himself, and then he curled right into the corner of the net away from the keeper's despairing dive.

Ke-owned They really were rolling back the years at Arsenal last night. Thierry Henry was back on the scoresheet and Martin Keown returned to make an imperious defensive header. Sort of. The former Gunners defender got smacked in the face as he appeared on ESPN's pitchside pre-match build-up ahead of Arsenal's FA Cup tie with [.

Thierry Henry proved he can still cut it at Championship level, at least with a goalscoring Arsenal comeback. The returning legend bagged the only goal in a 1-0 win over Leeds in last night's FA Cup third round clash. Henry entered the action as a second half substitute for Marouane Chamakh (as if [.

From the outside looking in, everything seems to be fine in Gunner land. King Henry comes back to save the day with a late winner against Leeds in a 1-0 victory and Arsenal hosts Aston Villa in the next round of the FA Cup.

However, after reading between the lines, I wasn't too thrilled with Arsene Wenger's pre-game "motivational speech" to the fans, players, owners, and sponsors.
