Henry, done the right thing, he went back to America, so all that money Wenger wasted on bringing him back didn't help - did it.

Wenger should look in the mirror this morning and say where have l gone wrong, In the transfer market he should have bought fresh players.

They used to be a strong side, but they are now a farce.

It was a loan.. He scored the winner at the weekend and in the FA Cup so I think it did help.

Probably a fee involved somewhere though as well as wages.

Probably but 'all that money wasted' as well as the implication that Henry wasn't going to go back to America is what I was addressing.

I agree and as some one who doesn't support Arsenal I think it was great for the fans to see him again especially those to young to see him first time round, to bad spuds don't have any icons from yesteryear still paying and those decent players they have now won't be seen for dust once Harry goes, bet they won't go back either.

English football is a step closer to reintroducing artificial pitches after the Football League announced plans to seek opinion on their possible return.

The public consultation will run until the end of April and canvas the views of clubs, fans and officials.

The Football League's chief operating officer, Andy Williamson, said there was a "clear appetite" to reconsider the use of artificial surfaces.

BBC Sport broke the news last year that artificial pitches could make a return.

No thanks.

Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has warned the club need to get rid of a host of their big names and sign six established players if they are to return to their former glories.

The French World Cup winner admitted he fears for the future of the Gunners following last night's Champions League debacle.

Petit, who formed a formidable partnership with Patrick Vieira in his three year's in north London from 1997 to 2000, claimed the likes of Andrei Arshavin, Tomas Rosicky and Theo Walcott were simply not good enough.

"I asked myself what has become of the team that I knew. It's worse than I thought, they haven't recovered from the departures of (Cesc) Fabregas (to Barcelona) and (Samir) Nasri (to Manchester City)," Petit told www.sofoot.com.

"It's a gulf which is confirmed weekend after weekend.

"And what is perhaps the most worrying thing is the club won't do anything this summer to reverse the trend.

England's football team have ditched their home kit after wearing it just eight times.

It's the fewest number of times they have ever used new shirts.

Anyone who wants to keep up with the latest design will have to buy the new kit which will be shown off at England's next match, a friendly against the Netherlands on 29 February.

That would mean spending more than £70 for a child's shirt, shorts and socks.

A lot of supporters are angry that they have to spend so much money so often if they want to stay up to date

Manager Andre Villas-Boas has admitted some of his players do not back his Chelsea "project", but insisted owner Roman Abramovich is behind him.

Villas-Boas said it was "normal" for some players not to agree with him, following reports of being openly challenged at a team meeting on Sunday.

"They don't have to back my project, said Villas-Boas. "It's the owner who backs my project."

Speculation has increased on Villas-Boas's future after poor league form

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp believes somebody could take the England job on a part-time basis for Euro 2012, but not in the long term.

Redknapp, 64, is the favourite for the post but insists "it wouldn't be fair" to walk out on Spurs.

Asked if someone could do the job part-time, he told Abu Dhabi Sports: "In the short term maybe it's possible for the European Championship.

"But in the long term it's not possible to manage a club and a national team."

No thanks.

Why not?

It will mean no more games being call off (Even after 37mins)

Also more money for the Club as they can let the park out to fans or other sports and still play on it the next day.
