You know what I'm talking about dont ya?

Well, if ya dont...I'm talking about Thierry Henry, and his reaction after the game against Newcastle today.

The guy is great fooballer, even as a Man Utd Supporter myself I can't help but be amazed by his dazzling displays. His blistering pace and eye for goal are always a good reason to watch Arsenal play.

Taking allthings into account, Arsenal were hard by tonight. MR. Poll made a few errors of judgement today, and it really lost the match for the Arsenal. But the guy is only only Human, we moan every year about bad refs but nowadays its a normal part of the game! It doesnt help with the FA/FIFA/UEFA or whoever changing the rules every year.

But anyway, back to the point...Henry acted stupidly after the game, and action should be taken against him. I know he was upset, but this isnt the first time he has reacted like this. In the Champions league this year he felt the need to do the same sort of thing. The F.A should take the fact Henry had good reasons to be upset into account but he should be punished. Who knows what Henry would have done if it wasnt for Shearer restraining him. Actually, Shearer should be acknoledged for his model behavior today. Particulary when Parlour was sent off, the guy showed how football should be played. Unlike Henry, who waved an Imaginery Card at the ref when he was fouled.

Well, anyway..this was pritty unbiased for me. So now i'll go mad! yeah! What a result! You stupid gunners! Flippin Henry, thinkin he's all big and bad! hope they lock you up and throw away the key! flippin nutter.

Newcastle top of the league? Funny season eh?

Fowler of 4 years ago was second to none. Fowler of the last 2 years is, at best, very ordinary. Leeds have gambled on the hope that new surroundings might see him return to his best. Personally I doubt we will ever see the Robbie Fowler of 1996/7.

I think your assesment of Jeffers is harsh. He made some promising appearance for Arsenal before getting injured. He also formed a very good partnership with Defoe for the England U21's. It is true that injuries have blighted his career so far but he is still only a kid and provided he gets a decent injury free run he will show everyone what he is capable of.

I think that the £10m played was quite a rip-off, and if he's gunna wear no.9 then why doesn't he get played regularly enough???

Why pay £10m for a 'back-up striker', who has no European experience and has won no real silverware???


Jeffers is an England U21 International and is regarded as one of the best young strikers in the country. Furthermore he has proved at Everton (in a bad side) that he is capable of scoring goals in the Premiership. In today's market he is probably worth close to £10m. Put it this way - I bet when Arsenal sell him on he will be sold for several million more. The big question mark over Jeffers is that he is injury prone. I think he has just been unlucky so far and that there is no real longterm fitness problem.

Why pay £10m for a 'back-up striker', who has no European experience and has won no real silverware??? Especially when his new side are expecting to challenge for the league, domestic cups, and European glory! He's too in-experienced for that, I feel! And it also seems that Everton have started this season much better than in previous years, without him!! Did they rely on him too much??

I don't think Sander Westerveld would have anything nice to say about him!! But what were Liverpool doing selling a top-class, Dutch international like Westerveld??

All he needed was time to recover from his 'bad spell', and Gerard Houllier didn't give him any. Instead he brought 2 keepers to replace him and left him to 'rot in the reserves'!!

Sorry to have 'strayed away' from the topic title slightly there.

Kanu and Lauren will be off to the African Nations soon for a couple of months. Just as well Jeffers is on the comeback trail.
