What a legend this guy this. Former captain Thierry Henry has admitted that since leaving us to join Barcelona, he feels a pain each time there is a Champions League draw.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, the Frenchman says that he cannot begin to imagine what it's going to be like stepping onto the Emirates pitch as the enemy.

Henry said: "I'm not saying I won't try to fight or whatever because that's the way the game is. But I don't want to play against Arsenal.

"It will be weird for me to step on the pitch, even if it's at the Emirates and not Highbury, with another shirt on."

When pressed as to what he would do if he scored a goal, Henry refused to comment, saying that he could not imagine doing something like that to the fans who adored him for eight years.

Henry added: "Forget about it. No. I do not want to play against Arsenal, simple as that.

"The bond that I have with the Arsenal fans I will never get anywhere else. Because I don't think I will ever play for another team for that long.

"Eight years – I don't think I will be with another team for eight years, I am getting old now."

I hope we give him the reception he deserves, with a standing ovation the least he deserves, but once the match is back underway, our first priority should be to win the match, and support the men in red and white.
