Let's get on the pitch with a proper starting XI first

Good draw for a change, what price to win it?

This'll be a feature highlight of the Totnum calendar seeing as there's no DVD this year.

the king retires then. Future generations of Arsenal fans will be bored stiff about the stories of Thierry.

I remember sitting in Highbury thinking, I'm watching the best player in the world right now, and he's wearing an Arsenal shirt. Wonder how long it'll be before we can say that again ...

Misty eyed looking back on his past, what a player he was, what a team we had.

ThE word legend is bandied about way too easily these days. However I do think Thierry is deserving of it. A fantastic player. And being Irish, no I don't hate him for the handball, he did what he had to, to win. Best wishes Thierry.

Henry's first 2 years coincided with my last 2 years as a season ticket holder in the East Stand at Highbury so didn't get to see as much of the best of Henry in person as i'd have liked. I had moved from West Hampstead to Derbyshire in 1998 when I got a new job. I continued to attend all home games and a number of away games until the time and cost of travelling became prohibitive. As my life moved on my visits to watch Arsenal became less and less frequent, however I will never forget my favourite TH moment when he scored that goal at the North Bank end against Spurs and then ran the length of the pitch to celebrate on his knees in front of the away end. That was the only game I went to that season, I was sat in the West Upper with my friend and I'm glad I did. I'll never ever forget that moment.

That come back goal vs Leeds was one of my favourite moments in football. Lovely story.

What is the general opinion on how easy CL tickets away at Monaco will be to get?

I know there stadium is only like 18-19k and the average turn out this season has been around 9k but not sure on CL nights?

Here's a scary thought Alfa....I lived on Goldhurst Terrace from 1994 to 2001...we might have been neighbours!

It'll be a sell out...all the locals/expats will get tickets especially given it's Wenger and we have Giroud/Kosser and Debuchy in our side. I actually went to the infamous Tinkerman Monaco V Chelsea game down there about ten years ago (supporting Monaco)....a mate of mine was living there at the time and I was visiting him. There is fk all interesting to do there 364 days a year (Grand Prix is the other day) so when a major team comes to town for a European game every man and his dog becomes a football fan for the night. Tickets back then were sold first come first served to people with Monaco residence cards. Decent chance of buying tickets there I would think.

Reading all the stuff yesterday and today on the news sites, it's that goal Henry himself says was his most special.
