Arsenal: Henry he’s here he’s there he going every

What is the most over used story of the present day? The latest attempt by the government to make us to frightened to leave our beds, (or in my particular case simply too lazy),

how about Da-Vinci’s paintings contain a secret code, which when understood will lead you to my car keys, which I can never find come the morning light.

No neither of these frankly paranoid delusions, its Henry is moving from Arsenal, every day a new one, Barca, Bayern, Inter, Scunthorpe and district badger fanciers association.

The latest one involves Inter Milan’s Moratti denying that his team are interested, so let me just state once and for all, that I am not interested in bringing Henry to mow my back lawn, either, there I have said it, I am out of the closet and no longer part of the minority.

Will Henry move?

Truthfully I do not know, and neither does anyone else, except of course Mr Henry and that frankly fine upstanding section of humanity known as his agent.

Henry is without a doubt a fine player, one of the best I have ever seen, and being of a decidedly northern leaning, I hate Arsenal, so it sticks in the teeth to say it.

But even in these days of hyped stories Henry’s has to be one of the most repetitive I can remember.

For me they are missing the main point, Arsenal could very well win the Champions league (personally I doubt it, but you never know) but at the time of writing it looks unlikely that they are going to even qualify for next years competition.

A time to panic?

Probably not, they have some very good young players, and look at times to still be in procession of the class of recent years, but if you are an Arsenal fan, I would like to bet that the big talking point will not be Henry, it will be that team above you: Spurs.

So please no more talk of Henry moving, get behind the real push, for you the chance of elite European competition, for the rest of us the escape from another single by Chas and bloody Dave.
