adminseason, drawing criticism from some quarters. Henry, who now plays for the New York Red Bulls, says the only thing worth celebrating this season was the fact Arsenal denied fierce local rivals Tottenham Hotspur a Champions League place.
“Putting Tottenham out of the top four, and I really do hope that’s what they were celebrating about, that’s the only thing you can celebrate,” he told Sky Sports.
“If you’re an Arsenal man through and through, that’s like winning something. I said it when we did to them in 2006. It wasn’t the fact that we qualified for the Champions League, it was because we kicked them out of it and we went in.”
Henry won two Premier League titles and three FA Cups during his eight-year spell with the club, and he said Arsenal should still be aiming for the top prizes.
“Yes, they finished in the top four, but there is only one champion — Man United,” the 35-year-old said.
“I’m a competitor so that’s the only thing I will remember from the season — Man United won the league. You’re going to have to do better than what United did this year.” — AFP.
