Wenger: I never kicked Henry out of Arsenal

After seeing Thierry Henry hit the winner against Leeds United, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists he didn't push the Frenchman out of the club in 2007.

Henry produced a dream return with a late FA Cup winner last night.

Wenger smiled: "You can accuse me of many things, but not that I kicked Thierry Henry out, because he wanted to go. I explained that many times. I was always happy to get him back. Thierry is a guy who is very focused, intelligent and very planned. In his head, it was always Barcelona, then the States. That is what he did."
