Just been reading this on the BBC website and after all the furore of the champions league draw we seem to have bypassed the fact that there is still plenty of work to be done to secure 3rd place in the Premiership.
Henry being injured could really hinder Arsenal and help us stay third a little bit more comfortably.

Injury rules Henry out for season

Henry's season has been hit by injuries
Arsenal captain Thierry Henry has been ruled out for the rest of the season because of groin and stomach injuries.
The 29-year-old tore muscles in Wednesday's 1-1 draw with PSV Eindhoven, which saw the Gunners crash out of the Champions League.

Henry, who signed a new contract last summer, has struggled with a sciatic nerve problem all season.

Manager Arsene Wenger said: "We are confident that he will be ready for the start of next season."

Defeat in the Champions League left Wenger's side with only their Premiership position to fight for, having already exited both domestic cups.

Henry endured a gruelling season in 2005/6, leading his club to the Champions League final in May before heading to the World Cup where France reached the final before losing to Italy.

He played a total of 56 games for club and country, scoring 38 goals.

This season, he has managed 31 games, finding the net 14 times.

This is deffo gonna hinder the a#se for the rest of the season and hopefully it'll ease the pressure on us keeping 3rd in the premiership. I'm not saying they are a one man team but he is deffinately the difference between them and a defeat in some games and without him I can see them racking up a few more losses.

He's had a poor season this year, marred by injury. We should get third we've an easy run-in this year.
