Love how the English Media and FIFA absolutely praise him as a legend to the English game and continue to worship him as one of the all time greatest strikers ever yet fail to bother mentioning the little fact he has scored 0 goals in 11 finals.

One blemish on a near-perfect record? Come on.

Henry is a legend in the Premier League and as a football you've got the appreciate the quality of him. You can't deny he was a big game player, he did help them win their trophies before their drought post-Henry era. He's right up there with the Shearer's, Cole's, Drogba's et al. His pace & finishing were outstanding, he deserves this recognition.

Well this is interesting, AVB on Chelsea..

I arrived at a difficult time in the private life of the chairman, who was rarely present. This clearly had an effect.

Alan Shearer is widely regarded as one of the greatest English strikers and rightly so, and he played in what, One FA Cup final for Newcastle? Henry won Arsenal leagues nearly on his own, and consistently produced great displays in the big european games, look at his goals in the Bernabau and San Siro.

On Shearer, Hope to see the year Newcastle challenged for the title on Premier League Years over Christmas. Loved that team, The Entertainers.

Eventually worked out for the best, I guess, even though it is clear that Andre was not treated fairly at Chelsea.

Yeah, but it's interesting what he says about Roman and does explain a few things.

On his comments on Tottenham, well you can see that he was treated unfairly there for sure. Wanting Moutinho, Willian, Oscar, Damiao etc and ending up with Soldado, Dembele & co.

Why any manager would work under Daniel Levy is beyond me. He is possibly the biggest cunt in football so lets hope he stays where he is for the forseeable future.

I like Harry Redknapp and him getting sacked after finishing 4th and us qualifying ahead of them for the Champions League. Would have loved to see Levys face when we beat Bayern!

Yeah, he seems a pain. Everyone loves to talk about RA's revolving door policy with managers but Daniel Levy's is so much worse. Scumbag chairman for a scumbag club, the two go hand-in-hand. I guess Pochettino is lucky he doesn't understand half the shite Levy says :lol:

You should see Pochettino's post match interviews. He needs that translator back. Can't understand a word he says.

My friend and I had a theory his 'translator' was the real coach and the secret behind Soton's success last season & Poch is just the guy they present to the media.. :ph34r:

I'm not taking anything away from his Premier League status nor his international and domestic achievements as they are truly memorizing accolades. What is staggering about him, a flaw that in my opinion weighs heavy on his overall status as a world class striker was the mere fact that he has appeared in more than 10 Cup Finals and has scored zero. Every Legend must be there for the big occasion and the highest of magnitudes and competition.

I have not once taken anything away from his overall attacking ability and consistency as a footballer, just pointing out the major and blatant obvious that Thierry Henry is the last person on the pitch to score during a cup final.
