Is that what cunts do?

how can people moan? we are through, and through with a moment of pure and utter magic that should leave every true gooner smiling and not giving a fuck about anything else
Just shows the value of being so sure with your first touch and composed with the finish. There's nothing uncertain about what he's planning to do. Defenders know it, goalkeepers know it. But the precision is what sets him apart.
Even without Henry's precision, Walcott and Gervinho could score a lot of goals if they had Henry's confidence and composure. Control the ball, pick your spot, aim to hit it. None of this keep running to the byline and squaring shit. You have to back yourself. I hope that's what players like Walcott, Ramsey and Wilshere take from playing with Henry.
On a side note, I love how Becks always comes to watch us. One of his lads is a Gooner.
The squad should learn a lot being in the presence of greats like Beckham and Henry.
damm you get excited easily
You fucking what?
Woke up at 5am to check scores, 0:0 and Coq off injured.
Woke up again at to see that the Leg known as Thierry Henry had not only scored but had won us the game, cant wait to see this. . .
Two things havent changed I dont thinl
1) Henry still knows how to score and
2) Joker still posts like a tit (havent watched the game so he may be right about the performane but jeez geez I dont think I have ever seen you positive anything positive or at least something thst you havent taken a dig at something or somebody!)
The King is back all hail the king!
Genuine strikers score goals. It beggars belief why we pursue with wankers like Chamakh when we've been crying out for another quality striker since the great man left in the first place!
Henry
:bow:
That is all.
Other than: full back positions are cursed, Arshavin played well and worked hard and Ramsey has a lot of the ball but doesn't really do much with it. When the fuck is Wilshere back?!!!
It was a good game to watch but not very exciting . Easy to understand that due to the fact was Leeds is a championship team and Arsenal had some inexperienced but very promising players such as Chamberlain , Yennaris , Miquel ..etc.. and plus how can you expect a great game when squillaci is on the pitch ? Isn't it being a bit naive ? But the introduction of Thierry Henry , his goal , his celebration , the reaction of the fans were the biggest moment of the game . It shows Henry hasn't lost his boots and his passion yet.It brought back all the good memories during his Arsenal time . It was really emotional . One of the games true Arsenal fans will remember for ever .
Bloody brilliant.
Exactly right, I think. This also applied to Bendtner. Our strikers are getting into scoring positions and snatching at it, or bottling it and passing. It is one of those success breeds success things, the reason why manu have performed so well. If we can get on a run of wins which includes several members of the team scoring, then we have a chance to get into the so-called winning mentality - the belief that having got the ball you can put it in the net so often that you are not worried about failure. This is why something like the CC or FA Cup can be significant. I'm with Wenger in thinking that the PL and CL are the main objectives - preferably winning them - but like a lot on GW, I think that getting a trophy under our belt would lift the team by giving them the confidence boost they need to translate that into scoring when they get the chances.
Henry was 24 before he started finding the net regularly.
With 12 minutes remaining, Henry scores his 12th goal against Leeds in 12 appearances wearing the number 12 shirt in 2012
Still dont understand why we started with our erm starting midfield? Why didnt Rosicky and Benayoun come in and give Ramsey and Arteta a rest? Ramsey looks like he should be in Dubai with his feet yup tbh
Rosicky was sick wasn't he?
Not sure about benny.
Didn't see anything wrong with the midfield last night tbh. Though Arshy worked hard, as did AOC. Chamahk was non-existent.
Leeds set out to take a draw back to Elland Rd, and other than that spud on the wing, caused no problems at all. they sat deep and made it difficult, so I don't see why people are complaining about the performance. It wasn't brilliant, but it wasn't bad either.
Evem though I bleed optimism when it comes to all things Arsenal. . .I would like us to take the FAC seriously, we still need to consider ourselves a work in progress when it comes to the PL and CL so we shoild not be looking at the FAC the same way we did against Stoke a few moons ago. . .I'm not a hater but I would really love to see us win something!
Well they do say winning breeds success I mean it took what 3 year odd years for Fergie to win something and at one point there were romours they Manure were getting ready to sack him one FA cup win later the rest is history.
On a side note, what the fuck was Nasri doing there? I did wonder if it was he who Thierry was aiming all the shirt punching at?
It was great to see the Legend that is Henry back, the goal was just magical.
As mentioned by others he truely loves playing for Arsenal and the reaction he got from the fans has been awsome.
Lets hope that his passion, commitment and skills rub off on some of the others who seem to just turn up for a payday.
Agreed. This is pretty much the same Leeds team that knocked manu out last year - we managed a draw and a win in the replay. They are good at digging in.
The main lack (again this comes up like a mantra) is not putting our chances away. Once we can get on a streak of pur players (other than RvP) getting more confidence and not snatching at things, we will start to see real progress. The basic team is OK, I think. Sure, you can tweek this and that but if we put even a slightly below average number of our chances away, we'd be up there and challenging. The 2% we are missing is that goal shooting confidence.
Best moment of the season for me.
If, as an Arsenal fan you can't enjoy that, you seriously need to reassess your life.
And by reassess I mean end.
Can't be arsed to read through the whole thread but has anybody done "the closest the Dirty Leeds defence got to Henry all night was when they asked for his shirt at the end of the match" gag?
