Arsenal title race

I don't even talk about whether I like the football. I want to win the league. 22 years, I want to win the league. That's a big one for me, it goes above everything else.

Thierry Henry

Arsenal's playing style

For a very long time, we've been accused of being boys—Arsenal not being able to keep a lead or getting bullied. So now, that's exactly what the team is doing, and actually mastering that along the way.

Thierry Henry

Tactical analysis

I do think that right now the game is a tiny bit too scripted, too coached. Sometimes I see wingers, and the way I was, I see wingers in 1v1 and they pass the ball back. They don't cross early.

Thierry Henry

I've been calling Arsenal and Mikel Arteta a Jose Mourinho-style team for about two or three years on this programme. Not as a criticism. You've got Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho, two of the most successful managers in the last 20 years. Different ways of going about it.

Jamie Carragher

Arsenal quadruple hopes

If they get the quadruple, this guy is going to go down in history. That's the only asterisk he's going to get.

Thierry Henry

Mikel Arteta's management

I don't think he believed he could outplay his way to the title. He had to find a way to win it. He needed to find a way to beat those guys.

Thierry Henry

The thing that I absolutely love about Arteta here is that too often in football a manager will talk about having an idea and never veering from it. He evolved. I admire that.

Jamie Carragher

Premier League title race

No one's good enough to put a run of five, six, seven, eight games together unless you're basically Arsenal. Everybody else is just dropping points constantly.

Jamie Carragher

Wolves relegation battle

While there's still air in our lungs, we're going to continue to fight and we're going to do that all the way to the end of the 38th game.

Rob Edwards

Brentford European race

When you're talking about us in the same breath as Chelsea, that's obviously pretty good, isn't it, considering there's only eight games left of the season.
