No, because he's playing shit. Don't you watch the games?

If we shit our pants about Swansea what hope do we have against Milan?

[Cripps_orig]

No hope.

THIERRY HENRY'S dream Premier League return turned into a bitter nightmare last night.
The Gunners legend was involved in a confrontation with his own fans after a humiliating defeat at Swansea.

Henry, 34, had persuaded shellshocked team-mates to acknowledge the thousands of travelling fans who had just witnessed their SIXTH away defeat of the season.

*But a small group of supporters slammed the players — prompting an angry response from striker Henry, who only rejoined the club on loan from America last week.

The Frenchman appeared to have a heated exchange with one fan, making gestures before storming off the pitch.

A Gunners source said: "Thierry had encouraged his team-mates to go and acknowledge the fans and show their appreciation for the people who made the long journey to Swansea.

"Unfortunately one or two of them had a few things to say and expressed their disappointment.

"One in particular was shouting 'Where is the heart and the character and the fight?'

"Thierry shouted back 'Get behind the team and support the players and don't be negative.'"

Hardly a nightmare but it's quite funny that TH had a bust up with Ach.

Henry should STFU

I can understand where Henry is coming from but he's fighting a losing battle. The players are trying to show fight and character but it's beyond them. This is bad management. I don't think there is a single player out there not trying his best. When you're in a slump you're in a slump. Wenger just can't turn it around or organise the team so we're getting more out of certain players. This isn't a matter of choice. The players and manager are out of ideas.

Obviously he has no right to comment on matters concerning Arsenal.

Missed first half because decided to fall asleep......got up for the second and wish I hadn't.......

I have to agree that Arshavin and Theo are not really doing it either.....even Theo's goal didn't impress me because as soon as he was put through.....I thought he was going to miss it! he scored but so he should, he gets at least one a game like that and scores it one out of 10...the rest of the game he was crap.

Arshavin should be sold, there is no two ways about it. Oxo should start not because I see a series of wins coming because of it, because I see more passion.

I have said that I see a different mentality about the team, more balance than before.....that we are even better than last year.....I stick by that in a broad sense but last night and Fulham, holy shit.....we were looking at the Arsenal that was taking the field this time last year and you know what happened then......there is something about the turn of the year that brings on bouts of diarrhea!

I really thought that we were going to stake our claim for one of the top spots over the last few games and believe we had a chance but we choked, points dropped and not much to look forward to......Utd up next.....need to et a grip or as everyone is saying those mediocre goals (4th) could prove to be a bit difficult.

10 points behind Spuds who would have thought it?

BTW I thought Miquel played decent, what's that 5th LB of the season......can't say we ain't unlucky!

Come on Arsenal

Positive of this team: They do seem to try hard. For a change, I cannot doubt the commitment of this team.

Negatives of this team: Unfortunately there is no talent whatsoever beside RVP, TV5 and Szczesny! Our midfield 3 is hopelessly bad. It says a lot when Song looks like Zidane. AW needs to go after this season. Anyone who still stands up for this man is just doing it to be a WUM. He is a liability and I dont want to hear the BS excuse that we stayed competitive to be 4th for the last few seasons.. we couldve won done much better under a world class manager. AW is a stubborn and unfortunately very strong person at Arsenal.. I just dont know how we are going to get rid of him! May be he will resign out of shame of what he had done (98-06) to what he is doing now... unfortunately it seems that 6 million quid a year takes that shame away!
