The Return of the King Henry
Arsenal back in form again with 4-0 win over Charlton.
Howver,Arsenal had to wait until the 30th minute when our King Henry scored a penalty goal. Hoyte then scored his first Premiership goal just before half-time break.
In second-half,Gunners dominating the game with a lot of dangerous attack but Arsenal only scored their 3rd goal in 75th minute when Van Persie shot another penalty goal into the Charlton’s net.He added one more to make it 4-0 to Arsenal.
It seems Arsenal are getting boost start for this 2007 as Theirry Henry returned to our squad and therefore giving our kids some direction so shine.
Chelsea on the other hand failed to lessen their point distance with Manchester United as they suffered 3 draws in a row when they drew again with Aston Villa.

A few things:
1. am glad we won…
2. am glad Henry is back…
…but, this also reminds me of our conversation yesterday. Yes, we have a young squad, but if something happen to Henry, then what?
Nonetheless, I still love Arsenal!
About the win,I’m at same side with you.If something happens to Henry,then we have to rely to our kids consistency.This is because,sometimes our kids performs extraordinary like they did to Manchester United but sometimes they play badly,like they did against Sheffield.
But if M.Utd maintain their form,I don’t think Arsenal could win the title.But if M.Utd have serious crisis or even said to have match fixing like Juventus in Italy,then we could have chance.
