Thierry Henry in 'another record' shocker
The
Arsenal captain and all round Mr Nice Guy Thierry Henry who
seems to be breaking records for fun has gone and bagged
himself another one. This time the award
is in the form of being the first player to bang in 100
goals at Highbury, King Henry also becomes the very first
Premiership player to score a ton of goals at one stadium
into the bargain, which is nice.
Everyone from players to managers and even Bruce Forsythe
(ok we made that bit up) have been eulogising about the
talismanic Barcelona bound Frenchman. Arsenal coach Arsène
Wenger was one of the first to
heap praise on the Va va voom one, exclusively gleaned
the wily Frenchman commented: "The records witness his
outstanding quality. I played a few games and never scored
100 goals, not even on different grounds. But this is his
garden here and he feels completely at ease. You know when
he walks on the pitch here that he will score a goal".
King Henry - The Constant Gardener
After his historic 100th goal at Highbury, the ground
was described by Saint Wenger as King Henry's 'back garden'.
As most fans who support The Arsenal and have green fingers
Captain Titi said: "I would love to have a garden
like this! It's tremendous. Scoring 100 goals, you realise
that I love to play here with great players in the past
and now. Everyone loves to play here. You speak to opponents
and they just love it. The fans love it, we love it. It's
not just me, everyone will miss the ground. It's pretty
special."
Rip roaring Robin
If Thierry Henry thought he was going to have it all his
own way this weekend against northern monkeys Blackburn Rovers
he didn't figure for Robin
van 'Lord' Persie
to come and score
a goal of Marco van Basten proportions. In the 3-0 caning
of an effective Rovers side two of The Arsenal's emerging
lights got on the score sheet, Cesc Fabregas scored a peach
of a goal and must of skipped the page in the manual where
it says 'An Arsenal player has to bugger about and be over
elaborate, pass the ball through the eye of a needle and
at no time must you attempt a shot from more than 25 yards
when you walk the ball into the net.'
Anyhoo an eventful game which was evenly balanced, especially
with The Arsenal again playing with cult hero Pascal Cygan
at left back, which effectively means 11 playing 10 saw
a game which was end to end. Goals from Fabregas, King
Henry (of course) and an absolute screamer from on form Robin
van 'Lord' Persie a bit of dramatics
from Robbie
'Lilly' Savage going down quicker than an
Essex girl on a first date after Spanish gypsy José Antonio
Reyes flicked a gloved hand (the scoundrel) at the Welsh
blond bombshell, put all that together and you have the
full match report, or nearly but that's your lot.

round-up in 60 seconds or less...
Left back linkage: The Arsenal are 'allegedly'
after Ajax left-back Maxwell, who's currently injured at
the moment. The Brazilian is also wanted by The Old Lady,
no not his mother, but Italian club Juventus... Now
that's a Real story: Apparently Real Madrid's
football busting Roberto Carlos wants to return to Brazil,
cue more stories that you can swing a cat at, that pop
tart dating and Burberry wearing Ashley Cole will be on
his way there... Young guns go for
it: It's been announced
that The Arsenal team to meet the Royals, no not the family
but Reading FC will be a mix of the reserves and youth,
now there's a surprise, hardly news is it? The usual suspects
will be present Lupoli, Larsson, Bendtner, Cregg, meaning
the average age will be about 12 years old.. that's it
for now, au reviour mon amis, keep it locked.
