Thierry Henry is a nice guy - honestly!

We're in the Champions League again and you're not - Henry ridicules Tottenham's goal celebrations

Thierry Henry has launched an astonishing petulant swipe at neighbours Tottenham for celebrating their late equaliser in the recent north London derby.


White Hart Lane exploded in joyous celebration when Jermaine Jenas rattled in a late equaliser to claim a precious points from a 2-2 draw with the Gunners which keeps Martin Jol's team on track for a place in next season's UEFA Cup

Fans were also on cloud nine that their team had not lost on their own territory to their most bitter rivals and lapped up the drama of the occasion.

But bitter Henry wrote in yesterday's match programme for the home game against Fulham: "What makes me laugh is the way Tottenham always celebrate whenever they get a draw against us.

"I would like to remind them that once again they have not made the Champions League. So I was amazed to see their reaction at the full-time whistle.

"I had to look twice at the score on the TV because I thought they had won it the way they were celebrating. When I celebrated my equaliser against them at home last season I did so because the goal had a meaning.

"It turned out to be an important goal in the race for fourth place. I wasn't going to celebrate just because we drew against Tottenham.

"It was the same when we won the league there in 2004. They equalised to make it 2-2 that day and when I saw (Mauricio) Taricco celebrate so much that he injured himself, I said to him 'you do realise we only needed a point and now we are celebrating the title on your ground."

There is little love lost between two clubs who are separated by just a few miles along the High Road and Seven Sisters Road.

Henry's comments are bizarre and contain an element of double standards as he left his seat on the Arsenal bench to perform a jig with Emmanuel Adebayor by a corner flag after victory over Spurs at the Emirates Stadium earlier in the season.

And it is amazing to suggest fans and players should not celebrate a late equaliser against their most bitter rivals.

The France international is currently sidelined with a back injury and cynics have suggested he is jealous because he is no longer regarded as the best striker in North London.

His crown has been handed to Tottenham's Dimitar Berbatov, voted by his peers onto a PFA Premiership team of the year which does not contain any Arsenal players.

Oh, and the comments are straight out of your match programme for the Fulham game

er hello?

You drew at home!

Its nothing to be proud of TS

Quit your jibber jabber.

What a bell end. That jiggle he did in the game at the Emirates was the most embarrassing thing I've seen in a long while. He shouldnt be dissing anyone else's celebrations, at least the Spurs fans and players didnt look like massive gays un like Thierry "Im thr black Jean Paul Gaultier" Henry

Ha ha its so funny, seriously if he didnt say anything, he would be alot more liked, but I guess you can say the same thing about everyone.

Arrogant wanker.

My main issue with Henry is his dress, it speaks volumes about his personality, what is he playing at? A millionaire, yet he never looks less than awful, I saw him once, parading in a suit with the image of Scarface on the back! Isn't he supposed to be married to a model (of no reknown)?

Oh great. It's been a while since we had a thread bashing Henry. How about one for Gerrard as well?

The writer is obviously a spurs fan, if you go to the link above and click on his other articles 95% of his football ones are on spurs:

So pretty much it is a spurs fan having a dig at henry.

He'll be sued though if he makes up the quotes.

& the quotes are what is the worst part.

So if Scholes came out making such quotes about Man City you wouldn't have a go?

Scholes is a c*nt who thinks he's tood good to speak to the fans through the media, so we'd never see any quotes from him in the first place .

2ndly it would be interesting if someone has a link to this match programme and maybe the context of what was written. For example if the article was about arsenal underachieving this season and not being good enough, but as a positive still managing a CL place. Maybe he was even talking about finishing higher up in the table meaning more than beating your local rivals etc for arsenal, whereas for spurs it is the other way around. By taking a few quotes out of selected places can make it seem far worse than it is.

Heres his full column in the programme:

Against Manchester City we did get the crucial third goal, but against Spurs we didn’t and we paid the price at the end. The game against Bolton was similar too. It ended 2-1 but the game was never over until the final whistle because they could have come back. To take the positive side from that though, we never gave up, worked hard and stopped them from coming back. But we have made things difficult for ourselves too often this year. I think from our home games this season, apart from perhaps the Watford game, we have never gone into the dressing room at half-time in a comfortable position. We have always had to come out in the second-half, dig deep and raise our game, and over the whole course of the season that is tiring. Especially as we are not used to it. It used to be our thing that after 10 or 15 minutes, we were 2-0 or 3-0 up and from then on you can enjoy yourself much more, knowing the game was safe.

So at White Hart Lane we got punished for not killing the game off when we had the chance. It was a typical north London derby, once again they started better than us but then it was all us. It should have been game over. We didn’t capitalise on our counter-attacks when we were 2-1 up. Then just as we thought it was over they scored their equaliser. What makes me laugh though is the way Tottenham always celebrate whenever they get a draw against us! I would like to remind them that once again they have not made the Champions League. So I was amazed to see their reaction at the full-time whistle. I had to look twice at the score on the TV because I thought they had won it the way they were celebrating. When I celebrated my equaliser against them at home last season I did so because the goal had a meaning. It turned out to be an important goal in the race for fourth place. I wasn’t going to celebrate just because we drew against Tottenham. It was the same when we won the league there in 2004. They equalised to make it 2-2 that day and when I saw Taricco celebrate so much that he injured himself, I said to him ‘you do realise we only needed a point, and now we are celebrating the title on your ground?
Perhaps it just shows how much the game means to everyone. I was happy to see Adebayor score again, I know it was playing on his mind. It’s a shame it wasn’t the winner, but to be fair Jermaine Jenas scored a great goal, perhaps worthy of getting the draw in itself.

We take on Fulham today, who find themselves in a difficult position. But I don’t care about that, we have to think of ourselves and take the three points. Do you think they worried about our position when we went there earlier in the season? No they didn’t. They beat us 2-1, the first time in about 40 years they had beaten us, and it put us in a bad situation. But that wasn’t their concern. Everyone has their own troubles, nobody makes life easy for us, so why should we for other sides?

The PFA awards were announced last week, and from a personal point of view I would have liked to have seen Paul Scholes win it, but I think everybody knew there was only going to be one winner. It’s a shame for Cesc though, because he has been so influential for us, and any other season he would definitely have been young player of the year. It’s the first time in a long time that I’m not in the PFA Team of the Season. That’s because of the way I have played, and the number of games I’ve played – simple as that. I have been consistent since I joined the Club, but this year I didn’t get the chance to go out there and defend anything. But I’m more sad that I wasn’t able to get out there to defend the colour of the Club and to be helping my team-mates. That’s the way it is, and now I just want to get back on track to be fresh and healthy next season – that’s the most important thing. If you are not free from injury, you can not do anything.

Finally I was shocked when I heard Mr Dein left the Club last week. Let’s face it, it was a shock to everyone, and still is in a way. Without him, the Boss wouldn’t have been here, I wouldn’t have been here, and a lot of the players you have seen would never have been here.
Mr Dein used to come to watch the under-18s games at the training ground, standing in the rain with his little umbrella. I remember when I first joined I said, ‘who is that guy on the side?’ They told me he is the vicechairman and I remember thinking at the time how good it was that he had so much interest in all parts of the Club.
When I extended my contract last summer I wanted him to be next to me when we announced it, with Arsène on the other side. He said ‘no Thierry, it’s about you’ and I said that I wanted him there because if it wasn’t for him I would not have been here. He was there in dressing room after the games, whether we won or lost, he was always there. Whether you like or dislike the guy, for whatever reason, you have to respect him and the love he has for the Club. I’m sure he would have been watching the Spurs game on TV on Saturday cheering us on – I can tell you that for a fact.
As the Boss has said, we need to keep composed and just think about the Club now. But it was a sad moment when he left. On behalf of the team thanks for you fantastic support, and get behind the boys again today.

So Have I lied about the quotes? No. It was perfect Word for word.

Spot on Thierry Delusion runs rife among the scum fans.

What element of Delusion is there in us celebrating an injury-time equaliser. ?!??

If that's the standard, I expect you to stay silent If West ham get an equaliser at Old Trafford on the last day that keeps you up.

I actually think he's being a bit of a C0ck...once again someone from that club moans because they didn't win, so they have a go at the cheering of the other team

Such whingers...

Damn! I hate Falling for the bait.

Take that Thierry - you stuffed @r$e prat.

Thats pretty unlucky advertising for Persil...the one advert they use and the washing machine goes wrong and a nice red top comes out with $h!t stains all over it.

I know Deano - I heard the story of a a guy who spilt beetroot juice all down his sky blue shirt. Couldn't get the stain out, so he sent it to some shelter in E13 as a hand-me-down.

No wonder the people who recieved it Tippexed "JobServe" on the front

That bird on the left is the French bint from the old "size matters" Clio adverts and she is damn fine.

Cor, those French really know how to advertise cars.

Notice how perfectly Thieery's legs are placed to frame the word 'clio'.

Must've taken hours to pull that one off

Also, note the positioning of the Renault insignia(designed to resemble the female labia majora) between his legs, another example of the sexploitation of the poor black man.

Tweedle, only you would look so carefully between Henry's legs.

Lol don't worry, just kidding.

People talking about women makes you look at a mans crotch?
