I'm an Arsenal fan and I can tell you without doubt, the reason Thierry Henry left for Barcelona was to capture the Champions League Trophy. He had FA Cups, The World Cup, The Premier League Trophy, The League Cup.. but he was missing one Trophy that he yearned for. He left to fulfil his dream and win the Champions League before he was to old and I support his decision. He deserved it. What a Hero.
I have always said and believed that too. When they lost in the finals against Barca he probably knew that was an opportunity that he wouldn't get with Arsenal ever again. It was the Champions League that made him leave. It was winning a trophy (premiership) that made Van Persie leave Arsenal for ManU.
He wasted it for all of us. He could've scored four goals on his own in the final but was a shadow of his usual self. Then instead of dealing with the outcome he left to the team that he wasted it against! He did so much good for us, but there's no excuse for this one. He did the selfish thing. It's okay, it's his career, but don't try to make it look like it is all good.
@@alaooooy7 Well yes he certainly wasted a lot of opportunities. They had a lot of space in the counter attacks and I think that Bergkamp should have played. However Henry didn't play badly on purpose, of course. All players are selfish. He wanted to win the CL and that's why he moved to Barca. It may be selfish but I do understand his choice.
On the other hand, "only" Vieira, Pires, Campbell, Reyes, Cole, Lauren and Bergkamp left either in 2005 or in 2006. Even the most ardent Arsenal fan could hardly blame him for leaving.
Which, as I said before, wasn't unbeaten anymore. In fact, 6 of the starting 11 left Arsenal before Henry did. And Rosicky, Hleb etc. while were good players, they were a level below what Barca offered Thierry. Deco, Eto'o, Ronaldinho. World-class players, and a chance to lift the CL.
Henry's decision to leave was the same as Van Persie, Arsenal wasn't competing for major trophies and Wenger wasn't really singing any players that could take them to the next level. Understandable really. If your a player of Henry/RVP level then you need to be in team that is regularly competing for major trophies.
Still Henry helped the club achieve a lot during his 7 years with Arsenal. He played 7 full seasons with Arsenal compared to that Van persie had one good season where he was able to stay fit and play the whole season and right after left the club, thats why he gets so much hate.
Yeah they lost to Barca. I am convinced he didn't want to end his career without a Champions' league trophy and picked Barca because they had the best chance and I bet he really wanted to play with Messi. I understand and respect that.
If you think about it: Henry had to weather teammates like: - Jeremy Aliadiére - Pascal Cygan - Igors Stepanovs - Francis Jeffers - Oleh Luzhny But yeah, in the end I think too that it was Bendtner :D
Are people seriously still going on about the Ireland game? Holy crap. Look, noone on this planet is squeaky clean perfect. Everyone makes mistakes, everyone does things they're ashamed of afterwards and if that the only thing you can pin against this guy then I've got to say: get over it.
its funny how one single instance created such unreasonable hatred till this day, its not like they are capable winning the WC. I wonder what England fans think about Maradona?
england keep banging on about maradona's 'hand of god' 32 years later. a small nation that was unfairly deprived of entering the biggest tournament in football. ireland have every right to feel aggrieved
Thierry Henry left due to the uncertainty about whether David Dein and Arsene Wenger the two men who brought him into the club and he respected the most were going to be there next season. In fact due to David Dein deciding to leave and the turmoil and shock the club was in at that time I think Wenger thought it right that it wasn't time yet and to stay and guide them through the process. Henry also did leave of course because of the attraction on top level trophy winning football and at that time it just didn't look like Arsenal was the right place for a player of that class. Still think these interviewers were being very disrespectful, even to sit on the same sofa as the man would be a personal honour of mine. He left because he had too much respect for the people that brought him into the club and he wanted the last few years he spent in footballs major leagues to be with a title winning team!
@@Saintinthecity-wh9nl it can't all fall to him top players miss chances all the time. If we had Lehman for the full 90mins i'm certain it would have been a different result, but he was sent off quite early! Imagine playing Barcelona in the final with 10 men for more than half the game ... I can't even!
Surprised I haven't seen. Wenger out comment even as a United fan it would be nice to see him manage Arsenal Giggs at united terry as Chelsea etc could be great 5 years I hope it happens
I wasn't even THAT upset when he left I was more upset when we lost the UCL final in 06. I knew why he was leaving though he simply wanted that UCL trophy he got as close as he ever would with Arsenal. It's no surprise we haven't been back to the final since 06 so was he wrong for leaving..? Nah not in my opinion!
weren't they switching stadiums at the time? i imagine that had the major effect. the signings would dwindle in quality as the years to come would require financial restructuring or whatever. but then again, i may know squat all soooo......
So Henry left because he wasn't sure wenger would resign? then why not wait another year to see if he ended up resigning or not, and THEN leave the club you loved? Weird logic. Anyhow, it was for the best that he left. He was not getting better and had lost a bit of speed and such already, and in Barca he got to finally win the CL which he deserved. Good transfer for both sides
I know why he left He was married to my aunts cousin They have a daughter called Tia He was caught playing with a different shirt on (If you understand cough cough) Then he left and eventually Played with another shirt on That side of the family don’t talk about him anymore 😂

His addition to Barcelona helped in the development of Messi.
I have always said and believed that too. When they lost in the finals against Barca he probably knew that was an opportunity that he wouldn't get with Arsenal ever again. It was the Champions League that made him leave. It was winning a trophy (premiership) that made Van Persie leave Arsenal for ManU.

Arsenal deserved it the year before his final season with us
"That's a good answer, but which of the signings..." Lmao.
Zlatandinho thats a dope name
Zlatan dingo However irreplaceable Henry was you just don't sign Chamakh as a replacement!
Zlatandinho PSG ronny was the best
Henry in
At that Barca looked very promising with Roni, Eto, Deco, Messi thiery needed to add champions league on his record. Good decision he made, super guy
On the other hand, "only" Vieira, Pires, Campbell, Reyes, Cole, Lauren and Bergkamp left either in 2005 or in 2006. Even the most ardent Arsenal fan could hardly blame him for leaving.
messi was kid at that time our unbeaten team was better
Which, as I said before, wasn't unbeaten anymore. In fact, 6 of the starting 11 left Arsenal before Henry did. And Rosicky, Hleb etc. while were good players, they were a level below what Barca offered Thierry. Deco, Eto'o, Ronaldinho. World-class players, and a chance to lift the CL.
messi wasn't a kid at that time, when henry came to barca, messi has already been a baloon d'or nominee
Bawak E iniesta and Xavi, puyol
He left because Lord Bendtner was taking his role as Arsenal's talisman
lord Bendtner made Henry a star. Without him English football would be nothing at first step.
haha
😂😂😂😂lord bendtner
Definitely was Bendtner XD
He’s a bender indeed
He cleared his throat when he heard the name. lol
Was it Bendtner? LOOL xD
When he said "was it bendtner" you know that's a real fan of the game😂
LORD BENDTNER came and king Henry was afraid he would always be on the bench, so he left!
ahaha
lmao
How lucky these guys are to sit on the same couch as Thierry Henry
Henry's decision to leave was the same as Van Persie, Arsenal wasn't competing for major trophies and Wenger wasn't really singing any players that could take them to the next level. Understandable really. If your a player of Henry/RVP level then you need to be in team that is regularly competing for major trophies.
eee ? he left after they lost a champions league final. and your saying they wasnt competing for the big trophys??
Still Henry helped the club achieve a lot during his 7 years with Arsenal. He played 7 full seasons with Arsenal compared to that Van persie had one good season where he was able to stay fit and play the whole season and right after left the club, thats why he gets so much hate.
+Thierry Henry the legend that was a year before he left
Yeah they lost to Barca. I am convinced he didn't want to end his career without a Champions' league trophy and picked Barca because they had the best chance and I bet he really wanted to play with Messi. I understand and respect that.
+Adbi these are all wenger/board fault, having a great player but arent willing to reinforce the team to fight for the title.
I Am Lord Bendtner
Nicklas Bendtner where have you been?
We have missed you .
You created this accou t just for this. Lmao....
You are an ostrich
Jesus christ, its nicklas bendtner
Can you imagine him as a cool as f*** french detective in a movie? this guy is the epitome of cool. this guy is cooler than james bond!
And sexier!!....va va vooooom!!!!
The guy who questioned at the end was like "was it because of Bendtner you left?" Haha that was funny.
Mee Lack*
Lee Mack. He’s an English comedian.
I've never found Lee Mack that funny but "was it Bendtner?" had me rolling
Have you not watched WILTY??? He is like the quickest and wittiest man alive
Really? His humour is perfect for me. Quick and Quirky.
Watch “Not going out”
Henry so beautiful
"I cried when my mum died"
Graham Norton audience: *audible laughter*
As a arsenal fan and a huge fan of lee Mack that was epic 😂
he gives all the actors softball questions all the time but he’s comparatively rough with henry
"I love you, I love you, I love you, bye" 😂🤣
1:30 my gosh. i've watched this video too many times to still be laughing the way i am
Henry is genuinely funny.
It is a overly used word these days but LEGEND 👍👍👍👍
Thierry Henry is just so cool 😎
I cried when he left too :(
was it bendtner?? xD
Lee Mack is so funny! Looks like he pissed Henry off a bit lol
Great Professional. Henry was the best player in world football in his prime. He didn’t get the credit he deserved when he was playing.
henry please come back!
The best for me.
His French accent isn't that bad.., I'm proud. ^^
Don't make fun of Lord Bendtner he is a legend
Thanks for posting.
We want him, we need him, please Henry come back!
Henry does not talk about it much but his divorce had A LOT to do with his decision to go to Spain. He is classy to not speak about that publicly.
Lord Henry!
When Henry was saying arsene graham thought he was saying arsenal. 😂😂
Legend
The Goat
Henry took his questions so personal, lol!
Lee never fails
Love Thierry the king
Tbh Bendtner was not as bad as many people make him to be. He used to score many important goals at a good rate.
Yes, for Birmingham
which rate. just kidding he was good.
I love him!
This is why footballers don't do talkshows
Henry 💕💜💕💜💕
If you think about it:
Henry had to weather teammates like:
- Jeremy Aliadiére
- Pascal Cygan
- Igors Stepanovs
- Francis Jeffers
- Oleh Luzhny
But yeah, in the end I think too that it was Bendtner :D
He is french...speaks awesome english...he is the King
Oh I love it I love it I love it bye😚
THAT FACE WHEN BENDTNER MENTIONED HAHAHA
Are people seriously still going on about the Ireland game? Holy crap. Look, noone on this planet is squeaky clean perfect. Everyone makes mistakes, everyone does things they're ashamed of afterwards and if that the only thing you can pin against this guy then I've got to say: get over it.
i am just saying, that if you are irish you would still despise henry. if u r ghanian u would still despise suarez
zahinster not the same thing, henry did by mistake and then just played on, suarez went to stop a goal with his hand on purpose
He is cheating
its funny how one single instance created such unreasonable hatred till this day, its not like they are capable winning the WC. I wonder what England fans think about Maradona?
england keep banging on about maradona's 'hand of god' 32 years later. a small nation that was unfairly deprived of entering the biggest tournament in football. ireland have every right to feel aggrieved
this was actually funny.
Bendtner was actually quality when he started
LOVE U KING HENRY..!!
It was the best decision he ever made being in the 2009 Barcelona team with pep Guardiola
it's quite fun cause you can tell HEnry is genuinely pissed off
Was it Bendtner? 😂🤣😂🤣 brilliant
How has 0:15 not been turned into a meme
It's Happened Now , You Can Come Manage ✌️
How dare they question the king his allegiance to his club, blasphemy
KING HENRY 😎 COOL AS ICE 😉
he is only player even if he did go to spurs i wouldn't mind true legends TH14
The Lord bendtner smited him so he left

nah, it was Bendtner.
Banter
Bendtner Stop commenting with fake username :)
think if we had won the UCL in 06
😭😭
They would have if Henry had scored those two chances they he had but he was slightly unlucky!
@@Saintinthecity-wh9nl it can't all fall to him top players miss chances all the time. If we had Lehman for the full 90mins i'm certain it would have been a different result, but he was sent off quite early!

I still want Henry to answer the question 😂
Surprised I haven't seen. Wenger out comment even as a United fan it would be nice to see him manage Arsenal Giggs at united terry as Chelsea etc could be great 5 years I hope it happens
There's only one King...
King Henry!
Where can i watch full show of this?
I wasn't even THAT upset when he left I was more upset when we lost the UCL final in 06. I knew why he was leaving though he simply wanted that UCL trophy he got as close as he ever would with Arsenal. It's no surprise we haven't been back to the final since 06 so was he wrong for leaving..? Nah not in my opinion!
THE DON!!!
He really wanted to say yeah Bendtner... But. 🤣🤣🤣
Arsenal till you die.
Is there any video with the full interview?
so it seems that i left because i didnt know if wenger was gonna sign a new contract. good job wenger !
If he would train arsenal he would make them deadly... Knowing he did really pick up on Guardiolas style of playing
weren't they switching stadiums at the time? i imagine that had the major effect. the signings would dwindle in quality as the years to come would require financial restructuring or whatever. but then again, i may know squat all soooo......
Is this talkshow in england or USA
In the football world players wouldn’t answer them questions lol but big up man like Norton
He went from playing with Berkhamp Pires to Bendtner and Denilson
Who wouldn’t leave
arsenal for life
Woes it bendtner 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Does anyone know which team Mack supports? Or Keira?
So Henry left because he wasn't sure wenger would resign? then why not wait another year to see if he ended up resigning or not, and THEN leave the club you loved? Weird logic.
Anyhow, it was for the best that he left. He was not getting better and had lost a bit of speed and such already, and in Barca he got to finally win the CL which he deserved. Good transfer for both sides
Bendtners name should not even be mentioned in the same room as King Thierry
Lee Mack 😂😂😂
That was very funny.....
They spoke about Lord Bendtner Loll😂😂😂
LOL "was it bendtner" .. mans forgot to say Lord before bendtner
Clubs record scorer. Feels the club is under performing. Leaves. Makes sense. 🤔
french are ideal talk show material. anglosphere has the shows but france has the best conversationists.
Imagne henry following Arsene :O
I think henry left because wenger didnt invest in top players
Wenger doesn't decide the budget that's what most retarded fans don't understand
Was it Bendtner??
Dat guy😁😁😁
I know why he left
He was married to my aunts cousin
They have a daughter called Tia
He was caught playing
with a different shirt on
(If you understand cough cough)
Then he left
and eventually Played with another shirt on
That side of the family don’t talk about him anymore
😂
Most Arsenal fans know this, I believe, atleast the proper ones. I thought she was named Tea tho. Good to know. Cheers!
How dare they drag Lord Bendtner into this. Absolutely preposterous.
All hail lord Bendtner 😂😂
Could be anyone, could be anyone.... But was it, was it Bendtner?
Henry wanted to win the CL trophy so bad. Finally he got what he searched for.
"Just ignore him, pretend it's not happening"
thats what they said to henry to keep him in the club
Was it bendtner😂😂😂😂lmao😂😂
It was bendtner
