Henry then was a far, far better player than Messi is now!

you just can't even compare that team to the current one. Henry was phonomenal, he even puts van persie to shame. Just look at the midfielders and the goals they were scoring in that video aswell it makes you realise what we are missing now, pires and ljunberg scoring 20+ goals each a season, viera and gilberto chipping in and bergkamp too, then we had the likes of wiltord, edu and kanu as back up. gervinho and walcott scored 12 between them last season, pires scored double that on his own. Also looking at viera and gilberto they are were both better than song and gilberto was only back up for viera, crazy when you think about them not being replaced properly. Guess thats why we can barely string together 2 wins in a row these days :s

Gilberto was never back up for Vieira, he played alongside him.

Ljungberg - Gervinho
Gilberto - Song
Vieira - Arteta
Pires - Podolski
Henry - Van Persie
Bergkamp – Wilshere

Keown - Mertesacker

And the appalling refereeing that brought it to an end...

13th of May 2012 Arsenal beat West Brom 3-2 to finish 3rd ahead of Newcastle. Gooney is still yet to leave the forum...

I dislike our Invincibles for one reason. Yes. Hear me.

We should have won the League in 2004/2005. Despite Chelsea, one cannot ignore that we were coming off the greatest season any team has ever had in PL history and we had a stellar squad. We just crumbled after that loss against United and that is where we lost it. We didn't have THAT instinct, willpower, and desire to pick ourselves and keep moving.

The thing with Henry is... Well, he has never scored in any of our Cup Finals, has he? Also, if he wasn't busy standing with his hands on his hip in the CL Final, we'd have won that thing--even with ten men.

It's not degrading him, by any means because he's the greatest player in PL history for me, but Messi would be stretching it.

"Some people take the game way too far and..." blah f**king blah! I would have taken a 6 month ban to kick the shit out of him on the pitch if I was a player!

... If I was left in a room with him I would do some pretty sick shit to him that would change the way he lives the rest of his life!

Blatantly paid! You'd have to be brain-dead to think otherwise!

The video in the first post is no longer available, any other source?

Couldn't watch it past the so called penalty, the worst display of refereeing I've ever saw, the ref must have been either a Manure fan or a w***er who was paid off in that match.
