Bye Thierry, Bye...

Hi again,

I'm so sad to see Thiery Henry leave Arsenal.

If you're a true lover of the English premiership, there is absolutely no way you won't feel bad about the departure of Thierry Henry to Barcelona. His transfer is a big blow to the premiership.

Although I'm not an Arsenal fan, there is no doubting the fact that this Frenchman has excited us all. He is arguably the best ever player to grace the premiership.

Sure Man Utd fans will say Eric Cantona is the greatest, Chelsea fans will scream Gianfranco Zola and Newcastle fans will shout Alan Shearer. What I know is that even these great men will agree that he is "up there" as one of the best ever.

Henry says he's leaving because of the uncertainty surrounding Arsenal as a football club. It has been like that since David Dein left the club. Who knows maybe Arsene Wenger will leave as well?

It's not really a nice time to be an Arsenal fan.

One thing we can not take away from Henry is that he gave his all for Arsenal during his stay with them and I'm sure memories will linger on for life. He was a great servant for Arsenal. I'm sure he will be a smashing hit at Barcelona.

Only those at White Hart Lane will be smiling now.

PS: I wanted to put up a video of Thierry Henry above but my blogger account is really proving a bit difficult today. I'll put one up as soon as I sort it out.
