Henry hails determined Arsenal
Published in FilGoal on 07 - 05 - 2006

Arsenal skipper Thierry Henry said his side deserved to finish the Premiership in fourth place despite a last-gasp edge past city rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
Henry slotted home three times in Arsenal's 4-2 victory over Wigan on Sunday as Tottenham lost 2-1 to West Ham, granting the Gunners a berth in the Champions League qualifying round next season.
"No-one now can say we didn't deserve it. We are fourth and we are going to play the final of the Champions League," the Frenchman told Sky Sports Network.
"At the end of 38 games the table does not lie. Chelsea are worthy champions and Manchester United and Liverpool tried hard to battle all the way."
Henry, who finished as the Premiership's top scorer with 27 goals, kissed the turf after his third strike but said this wasn't a hint of a possible exit from the club.
"It was a kiss goodbye to the stadium. Everyone knows we won't play here any more. We are not in the Champions League yet. We have to play the qualifying round," he said.
Henry scored vital goals to lead Arsenal to the UEFA Champions League finals against Barcelona on May 17th and reports suggest that the game in Paris may be his last match with the Londoners.
The 28-year-old international striker is targeted by Spanish champions Barcelona and Serie A giants Inter Milan and Juventus.
He said in April he would make final decision over his future before the World Cup kicks-off on June ninth in Germany.
