Thierry Henry said he never thought of Tottenham before the North London derby – and still doesn’t.
The Arsenal legend responded to a comment from Jose Mourinho, who struck against the Gunners after Tottenham’s 3-3 defeat at Brammal Lane.
The Special One saw its team from Sheffield United outperformed, further hampering their European hopes.
But four days earlier, the Gunners defeated the Blades 2-1 in a draw in the FA Cup and the social media highlights titled “It is not easy to beat Sheffield United on Bramall Lane. Here’s a reminder of that how it is done “published. .

It bought over the angry reaction from Mourinho, who said: “If you [Arsenal] were the best in the league or were fighting for the top 4 at a really good moment, they wouldn’t enjoy the problems of others, “he said.
“You only enjoy others’ problems when you are in trouble. In the end, it says more about them.
“You don’t have much to celebrate [so] You have to get every opportunity. You are in a very similar situation as we are in the table. “
But Henry, who scored five goals in North London derbies, admits that he never thought about his rivals during his career.

And the Frenchman described Mourinho’s excavation at Arsenal before the game in Tottenham as “funny”.
“It will be strange, it will be the first one in which it will be in such a situation,” he said to ESPN. “It will be fun to hear Mourinho talk about it.
“I saw recently that he started playing at Arsenal, which was pretty funny at the end of the day.
“But no, listen, I didn’t think too much about it. Because I don’t think of Tottenham and I never did it fairly so it wouldn’t change.”
