Should he stay or should he go?

CANARY WHARF: Now it's probably unlikely that any of my readers would share the endearment I feel towards Tony Scott's exposition on man-on-man love Top Gun, but something occurred to me this evening.

When Maverick is seducing Charlie at her place doing his haunted-because-my-dad-got-shot-down-in-Vietnam thang and the soundtrack plays "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding. A song sung, and subsequently posthumously mastered, by Otis Redding who had his rock star death served a la John Denver. It begs the question, was Tony Scott that cunning?

In other matters every soundbite and column inch in this country seems devoted to the question of whether Arsenal striker Thierry Henry will decamp from north London in search of Spanish challenges with Les Catalans, or if he'll stay with the Wise King Wegner with the prospect of future conquests of his burgeoning army. If he does go, and who could begrudge him, the Premiership will be unquestionably poorer for the absence of his mesmerising stride, his perfect, sometimes nonchalant strikes, and his intriguing press conferences.

I know the Spurs amongst my readers find it hard to acknowledge the Eyebrows achievements but look at it this day: would you rather have Jermaine Defoe?
