I know there are over 9,000 threads concerning TH14 right now, but I felt this deserves a poll to see exactly what the general consensus is about him. Personally... I'm devastated, heartbroken, and, above all, angry out of my mind. I can't believe he's picked a different team above ours, and the fact that he's trying to justify it by giving all Gooners proverbial blowjobs with this Gunner for life horsesh1t is only making me angrier by the second. He lied to ALL of us when he signed that contract last summer. And the fact that he's got the gall to say that he wasn't lying when he said that he was a Gunner for life by trying to say that once one is a Gunner, he is always a Gunner, is some of the worst bullsh1t I've ever heard. Once you pick a different team over Arsenal that means you are no longer a Gunner. None of us would ever do so. He's been my hero for years, and now to me he is no different that Ashley Cole, because he's done the exact same thing! He's just switched teams because he thinks his new one is better than the Arsenal. To me, this is unforgivable. The worst part of it is that it's made this cvnt correct: Your opinions?
You're not thinking of hurting yourself are you? Please don't do anything crazy... I know things seem hopeless right now, and you think they'll never get any better, but there is hope out there. There are people that love you and care about you and they would truly be devastated if anything happened to you. Would you like a number to call so you can get some help?
Okay, you're being facetious, I understand, but I'm not sure of your angle here. Are you uneffected by Henry's departure?
It's OK, let it out, your amongst friends here. I understand that you're feeling angry... betrayed... like the one thing that you had that made life worth living is gone. But can't you see that something new is waiting just around the corner? There are so many other players out there, good players, young players, players with passion, players that care, players that would love to entertain you if you'd only give them the chance. You've got to open your heart to new possibilities.
Good for him, he thinks the grass in greener on the other side, they better win a lot while he's there, because unlike at Arsenal, Barca fans and the Catalan media are not very patient, and they will turn on him very quickly.
Thanks for the goals but stop trying to convince yourself by airing publicly that you think the club will collapse, you ********ing baby.
A good point, but Pires didn't sign a four-year contract at the club the previous year. And Pires realized he didn't have much of a future at Arsenal, as he was not going to be a regular member of the first team. These are none of the problems faced by Thierry Henry. When Robert Pires left for Villareal, he knew he was not doing much damage, if any, to the team. Henry knows that he is very valuable, and yet he has no problem in leaving.
I was just trying to slide in a Pires mention who was my favorite - but with your elaboration, ummm, yaaaaah.
Very very true. Some of the names we are being linked with, while I know may not even pan out, would definitely be great for the team and could replace what Henry brought. Henry barely played at season-if we bring in a player like Anelka or Huntelaar or one of the others it would be an upgrade over what we had last season.
That's right, we just need to be strong right now. We need to believe... believe that there's hope for a bright future for us... believe that there is hope for a better tomorrow, for all of us. And it doesn't have to come from outside, it can happen within. If we can just believe... believe in our young players, because they are the future. *cues music* I believe that children are our future Teach them well and let them lead the way Show them all the beauty they possess inside Give them a sense of pride to make it easier Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be Everybody's searching for a hero People need someone to look up to I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs A lonely place to be And so I learned to depend on me I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows If I fail, if I succeed At least I lived as I believe No matter what they take from me They can't take away my dignity Because the greatest love of all Is happening to me I found the greatest love of all Inside of me The greatest love of all Is easy to achieve Learning to love yourself It is the greatest love of all I believe that children are our future Teach them well and let them lead the way Show them all the beauty they possess inside Give them a sense of pride to make it easier Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows If I fail, if I succeed At least I lived as I believe No matter what they take from me They can't take away my dignity Because the greatest love of all Is happening to me I found the greatest love of all Inside of me The greatest love of all Is easy to achieve Learning to love yourself It is the greatest love of all And if by chance, that special place That you've been dreaming of Leads you to a lonely place Find your strength in love Alright, Group Hug Everybody... Are we feeling better now?
I'll take Huntelaar, but no thanks on Anelka. To be honest, my anger isn't as a result of me thinking Henry left us a ravaged and totally incomplete team, because I know we can get through it (and would have had to pretty soon anyway, what with Henry's age.) I just didn't appreciate Henry's four-year contract and then subsequent bailage. I can't respect him anymore. I know the team will pull through it. Here's another factor though; an oft-discussed one: Wenger and Fabregas' futures. If we lose the latter, I think it would be pretty bad for the team; if and when we lose the former I think it will be devastating, as has been said my hundreds of people on this board already.
I'm disapointed with the move, but if I can get any glimmer of hope I can see Henry coming to the MLS in a couple of years for his semi-retirement.
Nice song anti, have to sprd but .. Anyway, i'm saddened .. How can i not be, but i'll get over it .. When i see two shining trophies by the end of this season ..
We need to start singing this song: To the left To the left To the left To the left To the left To the left Everything you own in the box to the left In the closet that's my stuff - Yes If I bought it ********** please don't touch And keep talking that mess, that's fine But could you walk and talk at the same time And It's my mine name that is on that Jag So remove your bags let me call you a cab Standing in the front yard telling me How I'm such a fool - Talking about How I'll never ever find a man like you You got me twisted You must not know about me You must not know about me I could have another you in a minute matter fact he'll be here in a minute - baby You must not know about me You must not know about me I can have another you by tomorrow So don't you ever for a second get to thinking you're irreplaceable So go ahead and get gone And call up on that chick and see if she is home Oops, I bet ya thought that I didn't know What did you think I was putting you out for?

Where's the - I'm sad now but I know he'll always be a gunner for life - option? One thing I know for sure is that when Arsenal achieve success without him, he may be initially a bit sad but he will be genuinely happy for the club, truly happy. He may have felt compelled to make this decision but that doesn't make him love Arsenal any less. Just the way life is.
Basically wut i feel is pretty bitter-sweet. i luv arsenal and ive been a fan since i was only 12 but...i've been a barca fan for quite some time also, they have players that only some clubs dream of having. so my final thoughts are... - GOOD LUCK HENRY, HOPE YOU DO WELL. - GOOD LUCK ARSENAL, MAKE SOME GOOD MOVES AND BRING THE CUP BACK TO HIGHBURY. oh by the way, check out my Henry Complication Video On YOUTUBE here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvFlIGB2cyE
To the left To the left Everything Arsenal in the box to the left In the closet that's my stuff - Yes If Arsenal won it please don't touch And keep talking that mess, that's fine But could you walk and talk at the same time And It's the Gunners name that is on that cup So when youre in the Catalans you better not slip up Standing in the Camp Nou telling me How I'm such a fool - Talking about How I'll never ever find a man like you You got me twisted You must not know Theo You must not know RVP I could have another you in a minute matter fact he'll be here in a minute - baby
It's a shame that he is leaving because it means the EPL is losing arguably, the breatest attacking players it's ever seen. As a Man Utd fan I'm delighted because I no longer have to watch him destroy us at any more. Still, I salute the player, the man and his achievements.......
Personally, Im gutted. Anyone pretending to not be bothered about it is kidding themselves. I no it is likely we will now sign somebody to replace him but currently we have RVP, Adebayor & Bendtner goin in to next season. But Henry is different to Ashley Cole. Cole saw the money and the success Chelsea were having. Barca dint win anything major this year, though neither did we. But because of the speculation, Henry decided he couldn't stay. Because of things behind the scenes, he left. At least he had the decency to talk about it and discuss his genuine love for the club. At Christmas, he prob will have scored 10 goals already against the shky Spanish defences and we will all be moaning. I think 16m makes us look like mugs. Yes he's 30 but you can still be 30 and world class! Zidane was a similar age when he went to Madrid and he scored an incredible goal for them to win the CL the next season! Henry could easily do the same. I also believe that >gulp< if Kroneke had come in and Dein had stayed, Henry would still be here. But the board we have are old fashined and fair enough. But if they wanna stay, they've got to spend. Otherwise, in 5 years, they'll have an incredible stadium, great fans (us), average players and chants of sack the board. We'll be like Newcastle! He came, he changed the way we played football, he scored 226 goals and he set the league on fire. But he's gone, it's time to move on, find people we feel can replace him and start the next chapter. BTW, that means winning something major or AW & Cesc will be heading to Spain next summer
