Regarding Henry...
Thierry Henry is banged up and needs a rest to heal his neck. Tough timing. Arsenal sorely needs Thierry in form and in stride to help them find a groove, but it's not to be. The Gunners playpen will need to soldier on without their captain. Meanwhile, Monsieur H thinks that the January transfer window would be a great time to find a bargain, perhaps a Chelsea cast-off Shaun Wright-Phillips. Can't say that SWP would be a bad pick-up, but I've always seen Arsenal's strike force needs as a RVN type player, a scrappy, goal-hound to bang around in the box and create havoc and play off Henry's play from outside.

...Well, it looks like Henry can continue resting, because as I'm writing this, word comes in that the Gunners have crushed Tottenham at Emirates 3-0! Adebayor from open play and 2 Silva penalties converted. Awesome! Too bad, FSN chooses this game not to televise.

Back at the Horse Race...
Sir Alex Ferguson (aka, the man who can catch pizza with his face) is not about to be duped into a battle of wits with Jose Mourinho. SAF announced the signing of former Celtic great Henrik Larsson on a short-term loan deal from his Swedish team. This should help MU significantly. Even at 35, Larsson is a speedy threat. In last year's title game for the Champions League, Larsson's 2nd half entrance into the game was the difference.
