Why are Arsenal fans so self-obsessed they forget Henry actually won a Champions League, while their shitty club did not?

Henry was an Arsenal player, he came through Highbury and had his best years at Arsenal. No one cares what he did in Arsepain. Arsenal is x10 the bigger club.

Passes both the eye test and the advanced stats test.
Performs consistently above league average and his replacement player.
Succesful under different systems and when surrounded by different line-ups.
Forces the rival coach to alter his macro (strategy) and micro (tactics).
Few holes in his game, errors and slumps are not common.
Divisive fanbase on /sp/.

this is the "dived for a penalty at home to draw 1-1 with Portsmouth" trophy, it's not impressive.

People put Salah on the same tier as Henry lmao. Salah has 1% of the flare that Henry had. Boring stat merchant.
