I am not cracking up!
By CHARLIE WYETT
THIERRY HENRY insists he did NOT have a fight with Arsenal team-mate Lauren in the tunnel on Sunday.
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.
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.
“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.
“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.
“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.
“I have also read stories that I am cracking up, which are just plain ridiculous and stupid.
