Arsenal Thread

Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Henry breaks Arsenal goalscoring record in Prague win!

A real captain's performance.

You could see how much the team was lifted just by his presence. He gives the side an air of unpredictability, the stuff he comes up with you can't legislate for and it sharpens our attacking edge no end.

Long live the King!
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Henry breaks Arsenal goalscoring record in Prague win!

That was some finish by Henry!!!

Arsenal are flying thru the group stages, could it be their year????
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Henry breaks Arsenal goalscoring record in Prague win!

The year I think we have the least chance of doing well in europe and all of a sudden we look at ease in the CL. Mind you opponents are poor. Hope we dont get suprised when we come up against some 'real' opposition.
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Henry breaks Arsenal goalscoring record in Prague win!

Kinda like us last year with Milan.

Yep that's the thing Arsenal have basically got the easiest group in the competition and finishing first won't guarantee them an easy draw especially if a team like er Real Madrid end up finishing second in their group.


Great goal from Henry last night...

No it probably won't be, like all the other years!! We should be topping this group as the opposition are weak. But you can only beat who is put in front of you.

However, as Liverpool proved last season, once you are in the knockout stages anything can happen.

At this moment in time we have 1 foot in the 2nd round after matchday three, we are happy with that. I am certainly not gonna get carried away.

The way the injuries are clocking up for you at least if gives you's some breathing space...

Exactly that! The group stage is purely mathematics, just gotta get through it and then prepare for the real contest. There are easy group games, but I genuinely believe that any team in the last 16 can beat any other in the last 16. Porto and to a lesser extent Liverpool prove it. It's anyone's title once you get through the groups!
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Henry breaks Arsenal goalscoring record in Prague win!

yea for real, u can b wining 1:0 in the first leg and lose the 2nd leg
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Henry breaks Arsenal goalscoring record in Prague win!

A bit late, but what a goal.
:applause:

:salute: Henry :salute:

And I agree, we'll need to purchase in January.

Supposedly Wenger had 50mil to spend in the pre season.
Brought in Hleb for like 8mil and sold Vieira for 13mil. (or close to those figures)
So Wenger would still have 50mil to spend if needed.

50mil, Who do you want Wenger to bring in?
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Henry breaks Arsenal goalscoring record in Prague win!

Lets spunk it all on Beckham :mryellow:
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Henry breaks Arsenal goalscoring record in Prague win!

Is it only me that thinks we are a bit of a one man team.

Before Henry came on (in the CL match) we weren’t looking like we could do anything! Then Reyes got injured, Henry came on and scored two goals for us. What do lot think?

And also it’s a god damn shame how we haven't got that many English players in our first team squad, we've loaned out Bently (who looked like a really good talent), loaned out Hoyte, sold Taylor…..and BOY! It looks like Ashely might leave in the future.
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Henry breaks Arsenal goalscoring record in Prague win!

Pires plays better when Henry is on too, must be that French Connection.:p
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Henry breaks Arsenal goalscoring record in Prague win!

Same as how it was with Gerrard and Owen back at Liverpool, they appeared to have some sort of telepathic connection :p
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Henry breaks Arsenal goalscoring record in Prague win!

Sulph i swear your sig is wrong. Chelsea drew vs. Liverpool in CL. Still an impressive run nonetheless.
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Henry breaks Arsenal goalscoring record in Prague win!

Oh yeah, shit, ive gotten too used to just putting wins down :p, ill change that.

LOL @ PIRES
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Henry breaks Arsenal goalscoring record in Prague win!

Why Pires don't touch the ball on the penalty, if Pires don't touch Henry can't shot ! :lol:
but nice try, only the 3 points are important :)
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Henry breaks Arsenal goalscoring record in Prague win!

He messed up basically, but Henry cant shoot because that would be a pass adn ou have to shoot from the spot.
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Henry breaks Arsenal goalscoring record in Prague win!

Ok, we are known for not shooting enough and trying to walk it into the net, but not shooting from a penalty, thats taking it to a whole new level.
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Henry breaks Arsenal goalscoring record in Prague win!

thats a whole new level of stupidity i've seen

no you don't have to shoot, you just can't pass backwards and can't touch de ball twice, cruyff did it successfully during his time at ajax
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Henry breaks Arsenal goalscoring record in Prague win!

Oh right but does the ball not have to be played forwards (even diganonally.
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Henry breaks Arsenal goalscoring record in Prague win!

Why did Riley give a free kick to City? Stupid C*nt!

There is something else no-one on here has said:

Pires did touch the ball, but I thought it had to roll a whole 360 degrees before it was in play? Therefore the kick should have been re-taken.

Still don't get how City got a free kick out of it though.
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Henry breaks Arsenal goalscoring record in Prague win!

360deg? where the hell did u get that info from
as long as he touched the ball, no matter 10 deg or 1 deg... its still count as a touch
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Henry breaks Arsenal goalscoring record in Prague win!

:lol: What a comedy. What the hell happened to him? Did he panic? :lol:

Story goes is that the ref thinks Pires touched the ball twice.

Trying to be like the genius Johan Cruijff ended up looking stupid.
Here Pires, watch and learn. The master in action

Thats what someone was saying around where I sit, he used to be a ref.
 
Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Henry breaks Arsenal goalscoring record in Prague win!

As long the ball moves it counts.

Wenger's jaw must have hit the ground when Pires did pseudo-penalty. :lol:
