Former Tottenham player does not want to see more of Thierry Henry.

Former Tottenham defender Graham Roberts has made a plea to SkySports for the channel not to use Thierry Henry for the coverage of the club’s games.

Sending a message on Twitter 24 hours ahead of Tottenham’s clash with Chelsea, Roberts accused Henry of showing bias and says he would prefer to see a different pundit on screen.

Henry had been part of the channel’s coverage of Arsenal’s draw with Bournemouth on Tuesday night.

Roberts insists he is speaking objectively, but his view is likely to be shared by many Tottenham fans, who would like to see as little Arsenal influence as possible when their team is playing.

Tottenham have a huge game against Chelsea this evening in which they are hoping to end the Blues’ 13 game winning run.

A victory will also lift them above rivals Arsenal after the Gunners dropped points at the Vitality Stadium last night in their 3-3 draw.
