Watched Sky MNF on Monday night with T Henry - I was surprised to see how few trophies he won during his Arsenal days - Just assumed, without checking the records, he’d have won more 

Thankfully he wasnt playing for leeds, or he'd have none...

True

I was at the match at ER in 1999 - Mid May - Not sure if Henry was there or not - 85th min winner for Leeds (Jimmy Floyd Hasslebaink)  which helped to put the nail in the coffin that season for Arsenal to retain the PL

Nice of Leeds to help out their friends just along the M62 that year with their quest for the Treble

Congrats to Arsenal. I can't have them winning 2 trophies though, my boss will be unbearable. I need City to lose the Prem so hopefully Bayern win the CL with a brace for Harry, who goes on to win the Ballon d'Or

...or better yet, Arsenal losing to West ham, and title race in the very end, with Bayern or PSG raising CL trophy on 30th. 
Your boss can then f off

I did wonder what the odds are for Harry to score the winner in the final

i really enjoyed Arsenal, subs and Arteta doing the same thing that Simeone and his teams do all the time - it was really quite funny to see how exasperated it made him

And yet you still worship Teddy and Ole over Jimmy - I now wish he'd missed that diving header (Jimmy)

I think being an invincible and a few hat-tricks vs Leeds count as a trophy lol.

But yeah for the best player to grace the Premier League 2 titles wasn't enough to reflect how good his time here was.

Not sure if Henry is even the best PL player from arsenal?

Not sure how you determine the best

But I’d say Henry, Salah and KDB are amongst the 3 best PL players and would get in my team

Only other one that would come close is Bergkamp but sorry Dennis its Thierry for me.

Sorry - Meant to say amongst best overseas PL players

Surely they can't do it again over in Munich?

BigBearKris

Pace and quality are already on different level to this borefest last night.

Only one team in this game and it is not Bayern….

Rocker

Good Kane goal but way too late. 

Vintage65

This game was more tactical and PSG took control with the early goal.

Lestratcaster

Would rather have played Bayern in the final to be honest but a repeat of last season's semi-final it is. Let's hope we can go one better.

Extremely low I should think
