Never interrupt Graeme Souness. Thierry Henry has found this out the hard way.

During the broadcast of Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Tottenham yesterday, Souness was analysing the game when Henry injected halfway through Souness’s sentence. Ex-Liverpool midfielder Souness then barked at his Sky pundit: “I’m talking!” before continuing what he was saying.

Arsenal’s record goalscorer Henry then retreated from what he was saying. Henry became Sky’s highest paid pundit when he joined the broadcasters for a reported annual salary of £1.2m.

The Gunners drew 1-1 with Tottenham, after substitute Kieran Gibbs cancelled out Harry Kane’s goal.

Henry, when he was allowed to speak, said on Sky Sports that Spurs were the better team at the Emirates.

“I think that Tottenham played better than Arsenal, but ultimately when you know Manchester City have drawn a game and you can get two points ahead of them, you have to take that opportunity and today they didn't.”
