Pires wonders if ex-Arsenal pal Henry will be welcome back in England, Ireland

Arsenal hero Robert Pires fears former teammate Thierry Henry will never be welcomed back to England or Ireland after his blatant hand-ball for France.

Now with Villarreal, Pires warned Henry his action will haunt him.

Pires rapped: "There is no taking back the bad thing he's done. Thierry isn't a cheat but I cannot bring myself to celebrate the fact that we are in the World Cup because of how we got there.

"How can you be pleased with qualifying like this? They are saying that Titi needn't bother going back to Ireland or England and whether the Irish ever accept his apologies I'm not sure.

"But I do believe that this thing he did will follow him for ever, wherever he goes."
