I am not cracking up!
THIERRY HENRY insists he did NOT have a fight with Arsenal team-mate Lauren in the tunnel on Sunday.
亨利表示，在周日比赛中，他并未在球员通道中与队友劳伦发生打斗。
The French striker has laughed at stories claiming he brawled with the Gunners right-back after the 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Highbury.
有关在海布里1-1战平曼联后，他与阿森纳右后卫劳伦发生激烈争吵的传闻，亨利不予理会。
And the goal hero insists he is NOT cracking up!
Henry, 26, was annoyed at Lauren for failing to cross for a possible winner but says he only had words with his pal. He said: “As we left the pitch, we were having words. That continued in the tunnel.
劳伦错过一次极好的得分机会，对此亨利非常恼怒，但据亨利说他只是与队友发生了口角：“走下球场时我们争论了几句，一直走到球员通道也还在争辩。”
“Our conversation was loud, I don’t deny this. These things happen in football. Yet there’s a big difference between having words and fighting.
“我不否认，我们的声音可能大了点。但这在足球场上是常有的。争论与打斗是不同的。”
“There is no way we’d lay a finger on each other. No fighting, not even shoving. Ask any person who was in the tunnel — from Arsenal or United — and they will admit nothing happened.
“没有打架，甚至连互相推搡也没有。可以问问当时在球员通道内的其他人--包括我们阿森纳的和对方曼联的--他们也会证明当时什么也没有发生。”
“Unfortunately, there seems some people on the outside who are trying to cause problems for us here at Arsenal. Maybe it is because we are doing so well.
“可是，总有些人想给阿森纳制造些麻烦。也许是因为我们的成绩太好了。”
“I have also read stories that I am cracking up, which are just plain ridiculous and stupid.”
“我也看到一些报道说我失去理智不够冷静，这样的说法真可笑无聊。”
The hitman, who netted Arsenal’s goal on Sunday, added: “I won’t lie, I would like a rest. You play Chelsea, then you play them again and in between you play United twice. It’s tough but you deal with it.”
周日比赛中为阿森纳打入一球的前锋还提到：“我的确是想休息一下。先与切尔西交手，接着是两场与曼联比赛，这其中更是还有一场与切尔西的交锋。尽管很困难，但我们仍要积极以对。”
Arsenal take on United at Villa Park on Saturday — this time in the FA Cup semi-final.
And Gunners skipper Patrick Vieira says he LAUGHS when he is reminded of their last-four showdown in 1999 — when United won
2-1.
Vieira, 27, said: “I just think it’s funny. We’ve moved on so much since that match. It will be a different game this time.”
