The Arsenal legend wasn't happy on the touchline, and hollered some uncalled for abuse towards the opposition.

Henry has since owned up, saying he regrets his comments.
"It's an expression of the street, unfortunately," he said.
"I regret my comments from the bench. It was a human reaction, I'm still human. I regret it.
"Sometimes I do it in English. Maybe in English it wouldn't have been as noticeable. No, I'm joking. I should not do it."
Despite securing the services of Cesc Fabregas from Chelsea, AS Monaco are still struggling in Ligue 1 and currently occupy a relegation spot.
