If he hadnt said UTD fan id have said this is a stick on for being Noble.

Loyalty? why cant you all see it? Henry is being loyal. He is making sure Arsenal get a good price for him, that is why he signed last year. If he had seen his contract out the gunners would have got zip! Clearly, his best years are behind him - he is still class and I loved watching him (and Im a UTD fan) but its the right time for him to leave and he has also ensured the club were finacialy rewarded. The prem's loss.

only play for fun now. thats one of the things, they take on max 2 keepers a year at that age.up until a year ago played for a local team but in the end was letting them down cos although i made some good saves i turned up to every match still drunk/riduclously hungover and was just letting them down. playing outfield again nowadays.

so you werent playing for a local team, school or district and turned up for a coaching day which as far as i was aware, when clubs have training days its usually for kids, 11/12 and under.. you then proceeded to wow a coach there enough for them to invite you down for a trial game where you didnt perform.

hmmm

In my Football Manager 2006 mode I like to see Tevez for Arsenal been a big fan of his, my best Prem player last season.

When Henry left I had that same empty feeling as when Wrighty left and Adams retired. Don't see it as a crisis with Henry going since Adebayor done an excellent job last season and think he'll improve again. We also have Persie back fresh and hopefully Wenger will unleash Walcott out of his pram.

i played for school team and local team. the spurs courses are up to 16 so thank you for your knowledge, id say there were 25 people there ages from maybe 12-16. really cant remember the specifics in terms of quantity. they wanted to have a look at another guy as well but he was from norway and was only in the country for a short period of time. there really isnt much more to the story than meets the eye, nothing came of it and that was that.
