Let's be positive: Remember the Invincibles?

It really does feel as though someone (or at least something) has died. Can I suggest anyone who feels this way (and there seem to be quite a few) reads Henry's ('exclusive') letter of explanantion in today's Sun and Simon Barnes waxing lyrical in The Times on Thierry's contribution to the Invincibles. Together they are helping me to come to terms with our sad loss. Could do likewise if you feel the same as me.

After all, life must go on. From his letter I'm beginning to understand (if not completely condone) TH's point of view and think about the good times he gave us - Liverpool, Inter Milan, Roma, Liverpool again, Blackburn etc etc etc. But for now...Devastated.

[Basil is a Gooner]

Yes I agree with you. Having read the articles he seems to say that this decision is one taken out of uncertainty for his future and a need for security.
Sadly, it has resulted in a mix of emotions from the Gooner community, although no-one can deny the history he has helped create for us.
No man is bigger than any club and I am sure that many other talented players will rise through the ranks at the Grove, but for the meantime, I for one am really sad to see him go without a real chance to say goodbye.

Good point about the lack of opportunity to say goodbye

Howabout we bring barcelona into the emirates cup, make them have to play heney, and we can give him a proper send off a bit like bergkamps testimonial.

Like it and charge them the nine million they should owe us to enter!
