He certainly gave us a lift, and the opposition something different to worry about.

    If Henry had been a bit nicer to him. If he'd had an IQ greater than his boot size. If our supporters had suppressed a few groans...
    If only someone had told him he couldn't mum with him.

    Yes, he should've just mucked in with Cesc and the lads. He'd have had the time of his life in London then.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    He never should have scored that goal against Chelsea. I kept expecting him to do that every week.

    Agree with Sir C that Henry didn't support him enough. It was like he was jealous. The glaring stares if his pass was millimetres out or he missed a lay off...
    I really felt for Jose Antonio and still watch him a little in La Liga..
    I think we also forget how homesick he was.. and unused to anywhere outside his front door.
    Poor bugger.
