Sorry. Hes a great player and he is staying at Arsenal.

A great player, at a great club, with a great new stadium.

Come on ARSENAL!

Emirates Stadium is looking pretty good. Still not as big as Old Trafford though

do you think they can get the builders to head down to Wembley

they done a better job the ones doing that

although it's good for you Henry will stay just look at England they are built around Rooney and now he is out we can't win anything, not that we had much chance with him anyway

same thing with Henry without him Arsenal can win the odd match but not a tourney or league.. if he went to Barca even without him they can still win the league and dominate Europe.. if i was him i know where i'd rather go

We have plenty of good players still in the side. Most of them young and upcoming. Its not a one player team

Cheat Drogba To Leave Because Of 'Cheat' Taunts

Didier Drogba wants to quit Chelsea and leave the Premiership behind because he is sick of being labelled a cheat.

The Ivory Coast striker, who is going to the World Cup this summer, has been involved in a number of incidents in the last couple of seasons which has led to him being labelled a diver.

Now the 28-year-old, a ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£24mill ion signing from Marseille two seasons ago, has had enough. "It's not a joke. I want to move on and avoid all the pressure and scandals here," he told The Sun

Surely the simplest solution is don't cheat?

tell that to Eboue he nearly won the European Cup through cheating and that seems to have been washed under the carpet

IMHO UEFA should take away the prize money from Arsenal, all ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£36 m and then ban Eboue for a year

imagine the shock waves that would send through football then we might get to see this diving and rolling about pretending to be injured would stop

Yep, one less place for an English player.

As someone said earlier, just like Gerard at Liverpool, what's he going to win with Arsenal? United proved they would have won the title had Chelsea not bought it again so success is more likely there, but Henry is hardly likely to get a fulfilled end to his career with the @rse.

TheDaddy · 19-05-2006, 23:30

The grass is not always greener, I admire people like him and Alan Shearer for doing it their way, there is precious little loyalty and morality left in football as it is.

Erm Gerrard won the Champions League, FA Cup and Super Cup with Liverpool, and has a decent chance of winning the league with us next season. If he'd gone to Chelsea he'd have bought the league, great, but it's going to be so much sweeter for him to do it at his home town club.

Chrysalis · 19-05-2006, 23:41

sig as me and nffc keep explaining man u have also brought their position. Difference between chelsea and man u is chelsea have spent their money in a short period of time whilst man u spent theirs over many years.

Would man u have sit 2nd without expensive players like rooney, ronaldo, saha and ferdinand.

I love the way you keep saying that United would have won the league if Chelsea hadn't, its like me saying we would have won the FA cup if Liverpool hadn't.
