That's it. The very embodiment of Arsenal is leaving Arsenal.
I must eulogize, mourning is a must.
This is the passing of an era, a time of epic swashbuckling adventure when the Heroes of Highbury stood up against the Monstrous Monopoly of the Red Devils and later the Evil Scumbag Filth from Stamford Bridge.
Thierry Henry was and still is the best soccer player ever. Better even than Pele, in my opinion. And I'm not just saying that because I'm an Arsenal fan.
I believe that he has single-handedly transformed the ideal of a striker into that of his own image. I mean, just look at his eight years in England. Words fail me. Words fail him. What he did is beyond description.
And I say this not because I'm lazy to find the words, nor because I'm a sucker for cheap hyperbole (not now, at least), but because there is no use trying to put Thierry Henry into words. As much as I want to put down a long, long description of the many things he did, I can't. I simply can't.
And its so much worse than losing even good old Paddy V.
Someone once said that Patrick Viera was 40% of Arsenal. If that's the case, Henry was the other 60%. Looking at how the Gunners struggled without Viera, I fear the worst for them next season now that Henry has gone.
No bitterness towards Thierry Henry, though. There can be no comparison made to the pussy-pissface Jose "CryBaby" Reyes or Dirty Little Cashley Hole. In fact, I have only gratitude and admiration for him even as he leaves, for all he has done for the club. For all he's done for the Arsenal, all Gunners fans should support him always, even in such a time as this. He is Thierry Henry. Enough said. Thus,
All the Best to the King of Cool, TH14 Va Va Voom in his future endeavours! Long Live Thierry Henry and may his ever-scoring boots always shine!
The problem now lies with Master Wenger. He'd better sign someone, quick (even though nobody can ever replace Henry). The thought of Emmanuel "Cannot Score" Adebayour leading our line is a nightmare.
Oh well. In any case, Division One Tickets are cheaper than Premier League ones.
