The Henry Incident and Tottenham Match Videos

The press is having a field day with the supposed Henry and Wenger spat. Thierry very clearly stated his side of the situation and there’s no reason to assume any other version of it. He’s upset that he can’t play, and that frustrates him. As I’m sure it frustrates Wenger, I could see how the ‘media’ at large could blow this way out of proportion. The best part about the Arsenal.com interview with him has got to be the Star Trek reference. Arseblogger summed it up pretty succinctly as well.

If Wenger and Henry really did have a fight, I’m sure it was probably a good one to have. Henry wants to play, but Wenger knows he needs to rest up and get well. That’s that.

And now on to a different treat than I normally offer. Below I present three different videos from the Saturday match. They are from the stands in quite nice seats and offer quite a different take on the goals. I wonder if watching a game like this might be more enjoyable than the regular television broadcasts. Credit is due to the PinnoyGooner, whose videos I also use in my Songs and Chants page.

And finally, if you are an Arsenal supporter living in United States like myself (or even not), then it would behoove you to check out The 2G’s podcast from Friday the 24th. There’s a nice interview with Richard Clarke, chief editor of Arsenal.com. I know it’s a bit late, but just pop open iTunes, search for ‘The 2Gs’, and give it a download. This episode was a sneak preview of what will be a weekly broadcast in the new year. I’m looking forward to it.
