I feel we were unlucky today, game came at the wrong time for the youngsters and this may affect their confidence, but i hope not! I see the idea that Wenger had in resting Henry, because of having played alot of games, being the known danger man, so he would have been heavily man marked and he will be in tip-top condition to play against Portsmouth! We will bring back the invicible Arsenal within the next two or three seasons! Wenger has it all up his sleeve.

Henry being left out of the starting line up was suicide. The best striker in the world, the talisman of the gooners being left on the bench can only be described as criminal. Does Wenger believe that leaving Henry on the bench will want him to sign a new contract? We have problems. Also where was Reyes? £17 million worth of striker not even good enough to warm the bench? Anyone else think the same?
