`` You only enjoy the problems of others when you are also in trouble .
In the end it says more about them .
`` They don ’ t have much to celebrate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ every opportunity to do it .
They are in a very similar situation to us in the table . ''
But Henry , who scored five times in north London derbies , admits he never thought about his rivals during his career .
And the Frenchman has called Mourinho 's dig at Arsenal `` funny '' ahead of the game at Tottenham .
`` It ’ s going to be a weird one , it ’ s going to be the first one where it ’ s going to be in this type @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
`` It ’ s going to be funny to hear Mourinho talk about it .
`` I saw the other day he already started to have a go at Arsenal , that was pretty funny at the end of the day .
`` But no , listen , I didn ’ t think about it too much .
Because I don ’ t think about Tottenham and I never did in fairness so it won ’ t change . ''

It bought about the angry reaction from Mourinho who said: "If they [Arsenal] were top of the league or fighting for top four in a really good moment they wouldn’t enjoy the problems of others,"he said.
"You only enjoy the problems of others when you are also in trouble. In the end it says more about them.
"They don’t have much to celebrate [so] they have to get every opportunity to do it. They are in a very similar situation to us in the table."
But Henry, who scored five times in north London derbies, admits he never thought about his rivals during his career.

And the Frenchman has called Mourinho's dig at Arsenal "funny" ahead of the game at Tottenham.
"It’s going to be a weird one, it’s going to be the first one where it’s going to be in this type of situation," he told ESPN. "It’s going to be funny to hear Mourinho talk about it.
"I saw the other day he already started to have a go at Arsenal, that was pretty funny at the end of the day.
"But no, listen, I didn’t think about it too much. Because I don’t think about Tottenham and I never did in fairness so it won’t change."

thedailymirror--2020-07-09--Stamp duty holiday 'could push up house prices and just benefit homeowners'

The temporary stamp duty holiday announced by Rishi Sunak could push up house prices , the Institute for Fiscal Studies ( IFS ) said .
More , it 's unlikely to help anyone new buy a home or even see more property bought and sold overall - instead , it will simply see people buy sooner and spend more to compensate for the tax they save .
IFS deputy director Helen Miller said : `` Although it 's buyers who are formally required to hand over stamp duty , the effect of stamp duty can be passed through to sellers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tax break that can lead to the price of houses going up . ''
The move was likely to boost activity in the housing market , although pent-up demand generated during the lockdown may mean that a stimulus was not necessarily needed at this point and could have been more effective at a later date .
`` The Chancellor has put a mask on the face of the housing market .
The real story is what will the face look like when it is lifted , '' he said .
“ Past experience @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stamp duty holidays , enjoying on average almost half of the saving .
“ Agents will be delighted .
The combination of a stamp duty holiday and pressure on non-residents to complete before the 2 % surcharge kicks in next April will give those that were contemplating buying this year a real incentive to act .
`` Those that are wary of a possible 10 % fall in the market , prompted by the deepest global rescission since records began and rising unemployment , are unlikely to change their plans until confidence returns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would hurt first-time buyers , as prices rise and they lose their comparative advantage .
Jamie Ward , head of stamp taxes at PwC , said : “ Buyers often pay the maximum amount they can afford , both the price for the house and the stamp duty in total .
Consequently , buyers not paying a percentage of the property ’ s value to the government as stamp duty may have larger deposits and a better chance of securing a mortgage . ''
He added : “ First time buyers , who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for properties below £300,000 and a partial relief on purchases up to £500,000 , do appear to lose their current competitive advantage . ''
