You could not be more wrong.
You forget that Arsenal have won at Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge and Anfield in recent years without Henry in the starting 11. Indeed, we won the Premiership at Old Trafford in 2004 without him!!!!
Also Arsenal have the best youth programme in the Premiership with the most players in the England Youth teams (11), as well as players out on loan to other clubs, including the leading goalscorer in the Scottish Prem playing for Falkirk!!!!
So sorry to disappoint you, but we're gonna be around for a long time after Henry's retirement.

Indeed Henry's retirement will be a big blow in the Arsenal lineup but they have good young players. They have Carlos Vela who was the leading goalscorer in the U-17 for Mexico and the entire tournament he is currently in Salamanca in the Spanish 2nd division league but he is a prospect of Arsenal and will rejoin Arsenal has soon has he's old enough. This young man was born to score he was not only the leader in goals in the U-17 but he is the leader of goal in the Spanish 2nd division right now. So i think if Henry is still around when Vela comes they will be a dynamic duo and if Henry dosen't stick around Vela is still gonna score like he's used to

I totally disagree after watching today's match against Liverpool.I think Arsenal has a number of brilliant players waiting in the wings to take over from Henry.He is a brilliant player but the thing with a team sport is that it doesn't take brilliance to win as a team it takes courage and determination. There are eleven players on the field any one of them can change a match.

Well couldn't you say the same about Liverpool with Gerrard and United with Rooney? I don't see why everybody always singles out Arsenal with Henry - if anything the other teams rely on their 'big player' (especially Liverpool) more than Arsenal do.

Arsenal are not a team which relies on one man as can be seen when Henry got injured. They play as a team and this is the reason you find defenders rescuing the team through scoring marvellous goals.

No.
After Viera, Wenger brought up Fabregas. He has always a shrewd eye for talent and impeccable timing when it comes to replacing retiring players.
So you can be sure exciting days will still be ahead for Arsenal even if Henry hangs up his boots.

I strongly diagree. Unless Ur eye sees the shirt worn by Fabregas and Kolo Toure as bearing "Henry". Asenal is good team witth some fantastic youngsters.

Arsenal are not a one man team. Although he has been an excellent ambassador for footballer over the years he is still susceptible to the odd quiet game.
Today,against Liverpool he was not at his best.

I TOTALLY AGREE! Henry was the heart and soul of talent on this team. He was a great leader. I doubt Arsenal will be the same without him
