Thierry Henry declared the race to finish in the Premier League top four very much alive after Arsenal dropped points against Sunderland on Sunday. The Gunners were held to a goalless draw at the Stadium of Light as they missed the chance to reclaim third place from Manchester City, who beat Stoke on Saturday. Arsenal are now just five points clear of fifth-placed Manchester United having played a game more than Louis van Gaals side. Jack Wilshere came off the bench for Arsenal in the Premier League for the first time this season Olivier Giroud started for Arsene Wengers side but his failure to find the net extended his league drought to 14 matches, the longest of his Arsenal career.And Henry believes another disappointing attacking display from the Gunners cost them against their relegation-threatened opponents.It is very much alive [the race for the top four], Henry told Sky Sports from the Super Sunday studio.They [Arsenal] didnt do enough offensively to win the match and you cant say they deserved to win the game. Jermain Defoe had a penalty shout turned down after the ball appeared to strike Per Mertesackers arm They will take two good points from it - Jack Wilshere came on and didnt get injured. He can look forward to whats coming next and maybe Euro 2016.And they didnt concede a goal, which is also a good point, but it wasnt enough to win the game, especially against a team that wants to stay in the Premier League.Id like to think Arsenal will be in there and itll be between Man City and Man Utd for the final spot but now there is a real battle to be in the top four.I personally think they are going to be in the top four but if they arent I dont know whats going to happen because people expect them to be in the top four. If theyre not, then something will need to be done for next season and big stuff. It wasnt enough to win the game, especially against a team that wants to stay in the Premier League. Now there is a real battle to be in the top four. Thierry Henry on Super Sunday Arsenals final three games see them welcome already relegated Aston Villa and struggling Norwich City to the Emirates, with a visit to Man City sandwiched between.And Jamie Redknapp believes their home matches should keep them in the top four by the seasons end. I think the two home games are too good for Arsenal, Redknapp added. Norwich at home and Aston Villa on the last day of the season are two great home games.I think the difficult one will be Man City away, but again, we are just talking about Arsenal getting into the top four, and they should be doing a lot more.You could see how flat they were today at times, and its not good enough.

Derek Ryan Jersey . - For a general manager who preaches building through the draft, Reggie McKenzie has struggled to find impact players his first two years in Oakland.CHICAGO -- Record-setting returner Devin Hester said Wednesday he will not be back with the Chicago Bears next season. "From my knowledge, I know that Chicago wants to go a different route with me," Hester told the NFL Network. "All I can say is thanks to the fans for their support. Theyve always been great to me. Always been loyal. I couldnt have played for a better city than those guys. At the end of my career, I do want to retire as a member of the Bears." He added the Bears are "parting ways" with him. The team declined comment. It looks as if Hester will hit the open market as an unrestricted free agent after an eight-year run with the Bears that produced no shortage of highlights. He matched Hall of Famer Deion Sanders NFL record with his 19th return for a touchdown last season, tying his friend and mentor with an 81-yard punt return at Washington in October. It was Hesters 13th punt return for a TD, extending his own record in that category. He has also returned five kickoffs and one missed field goal for touchdowns. A three-time Pro Bowl pick, Hester is best remembered by Bears fans for returning the opening kickoff in the 2007 Super Bowl for a touchdown. He ran it back 92 yards for a score in a game the Bears went on to lose to Indianapolis. Hester endured several lulls on returns during his career, particularly when the Bears tried to make him a receiver. But he showed some of his old form while focusing solely on returns last season. His touchdown return against Washington was his first in nearly two years.dddddddddddd Hester led the NFL with a career-high 1,436 kick return yards on a league-high 52 tries, and he returned five kickoffs for a team-record 249 yards against Minnesota in September. Now, it looks like hes moving on. Hester expressed interest in reuniting with former coach Lovie Smith in Tampa Bay. "I look at Lovie as my number one coach right now because hes the one that took a chance on me coming out of the draft," Hester said. "He has all my respect so if hes a guy that is going to shoot at me and want me to come play with him again, my arms are open." The news from Hester comes on the same day the Bears terminated the contract of punter Adam Podlesh and signed defensive tackle Jeremiah Ratliff to a two-year deal. A four-time Pro Bowl pick, Ratliff started four of the five games he played in after signing with Chicago in November. He spent the first six weeks with Dallas on the physically unable to perform list before being released in mid-October, with the Cowboys saying he failed a physical. Ratliff missed the final six games in 2012 with a groin injury that required surgery. The Bears, who had one of their worst defensive seasons ever, saw enough good things to bring him back. Ratliff had 14 1/2 tackles and 1 1/2 sacks with Chicago. In nine seasons with the Cowboys and Bears, he has 331 1/2 tackles and 28 1/2 sacks. The Bears have signed 10 players who were due to become unrestricted free agents March 11, most of any team in the NFL. ' ' '
