When Ajax did this a few years ago, it was new and innovative.
So, why is it that I thought that Pires/Henry was just arrogant when they tries it? Even though it was against Shitty, I still thought it was disrespectful...

If it hadn't been Arsenal you wouldn't have thought anything of it.
I did think it was hilarious though.
It was just stupid.......
I don't think they were trying to be disrespectful, arrogant definitely, but not disrespectful. Henry has taken "cheeky" penalties against bigger opposition before in more important games.
The apparent back story behind it was they do it in training and have been wanting to do it in a game for a while now.........despite the ever wise and ever great Dennis Bergkamp's objections.
Laurel and Hardy both deserve club fines imho but the embarassment is probably punishment enough.
Laughing at it now though, comedy!
Of course not.
Of course the fact that it was Arsenal makes a difference to me, more because I often can see their arrogance. The penalty just underlined it for me...
Hello Dude,
It is really shocking :shocking: to watch that penalty. I think Henry and Pierce are trying some thing innovative. Although there innovation does not cost arsenal any thing but they must take care of these things in future. Arsenal is already struggling in premearship and any further slip will be a disaster.

I actually think they would have. As I've said they've done "cheeky" things in big games before, Henry's quick free kick against Chelsea last season comes to mind, and the last minute penalty to win the game against Newcastle the unbeaten season where Henry chipped the ball down the middle, I'm pretty sure he's done something similar in the Champions League to win a game.
If it's pulled off it's the greatest thing ever, if it isn't then they look like dunces. I'm sure they'll be saving the fancy stuff for games where we have secured a lead from now on.
Mourinho's comments were hilarious. Though I'm a bit sceptical about his claim that Chelsea get so few penalties that they have to bang them in when they get them.
So true...
