5 things that Arsenal need to change if we want to catch Sp*rs

Beaten at our own game: Swansea 3-2 Arsenal

VIDEO: HENRY SCORES! The more things change, the more they stay the same
The more things change, the more they stay the same. 1-0 to the Arsenal, Henry nets the winner against Leeds United. You would be forgiven for thinking it was 2002, and not 2012. Anyway here’s the moment that brought us all to our feet:
