But for the motivating factor in both, I see no basis for comparison. Drogba is a better header quite alright, he scores freekicks too and is good in assists but so far this season, he has been outstanding and better than Henry and from his statement: This season, i'm better than Henry. For Country and club, league and UEFA, Haba, kudos. Just like this season Odemwingie has fared better than Obagol (even Yak, if we are talking about the EPL alone).

Henry reserves most of his major shows for the second half of the season so if Drogba can be consistent the season, he can beat Henry to the highest goal scorer trophy, but that I honestly doubt.

So far, you can't murder him for that statement at all, it's up to Henry to prove him wrong, I see it as a positive challenge.
Who's playing Arsenal next? It's gonna be a brace from Henry, next is a Hatrick - that guy is a DEMON!

But Christino

Don't you think that, the fact Drogs is saying he is better than Henry, means he is acknowledging that Henry is the standard he has to live up to.

You don't get all happy when the season is not over, its like a B ball player, celebrating 1 slam dunk, while his team are behind

Drogs should wait until the season is over before he starts feeling better than someone else.

Like i said he is not even in the same league as Henry

I keep hearing stuff like He scored against Barca , well Henry scored against Real!! if we have to start using petty arguements.

Its like Henry comparing him self to Van Basten or Maradona or even Platini, who he is about to break his goal scopring record for France. That would be an insult

Drogba should just concentrate on his game and how it will help his team win silverware, and leave the plaudits for fans and sports commentators, who will give him his dues if he deserves it at the end of the season

GOONER 89

How did Drogba fare in the recent Europen footballer of the year award?
Henry was third
where Drogba dey?

was he even mentioned at all?

Drogba scores goals and that serves as the fuel to make comparisions. He must have been taking some of Morinho's BIG MOUTH SYRUP!

This was someone who Crespo eclipsed in past seasons. And who wanted to run away from Chelsea when Shevie was on his way there.

Luck smiled on his black behind and now every other top rated striker is dog-poop.


Even Eto is far better does not open his mouth like Drogba. But like I said, I guess he has been stealing Morinho's big mouth syrup.

To which unfortunately, there is no remedy

judge a player by how many international awards/recognotion he has earned.
Henry is a phenomenon in English football to who even the said drogba looks up to for inspiration

Hmmn!

Morinho's BIG MOUTH SYRUP!

He has been achieving with it may be thats why Drogba wanted to emulate him.

The fact here is that as an African player if you dont blow your trumpet
No media will blow it for you.

Where is Jay Jay Okocha today? What has Maradona done that he hasn't done with football.
The way Maradona is being talked about today, if a new better player emerges from nowhere
he will still not be considered better than maradona. the truth is Maradona will remain the best
mildfield footballer that ever played irrespective of who emerges to surpass his form.

Therefore, make Drogba blow im trumpet well well

actually i never had Drogba making that statement until of recent,
and i don't know what prompted him to make such a lousy statement but he should know that before he was,there was always a Thierry Henry and he has alot of catching up to do before he could get close to him (THIERRY HENRY).

The fact here is that as an African player if you don't blow your trumpet
No media will blow it for you.

Unless you happen to be Eusebio, George Weah. Patrick Vieira, Samuel Eto'o or Mama Diarra. You know, a good footballer.

This isn't about being 'African' it's about being consistently good.

Don't make this into something it isn't.

p.s.
Okocha got plenty of press every time the World Cup came around because it was widely accepted that he was always exemplary for the national team.

@IBEXY

drogba was 8th.

@Lala

Keep weeding u hear

Is 8th position supposed to be an enviable position for someone who feels he has hit it big time?


@Deb

You hardly made sense with your post, i wonder why?

Did George Weah or Abedi Pele have to blow their trumpets to become the Legends they are now? or more recently Sam Etoo or even our J J Okocha?

Did i hear you say Okocha was/is better than Maradona u best try Onyekachi Okonkwo being better than Ronaldinho!!! Nonsense

like nightrider said,
drogba should be excused for his "season" of madness.

Even before Drogba said so, Mourinho had been boasting that he's the best in the world right now, since the finisher agains Barca.

Do you know if he'll get the chance to say that ever again, right now he's on top form and he is truly on top. Enjoy it while it lasts, so they say.Hope he can net 20 premiership goals a season

But after "trying to settle down" for two seasons, he has no excuse this third, and I think that's what he's trying to prove. Much respect to Igwe & RVN!

@Bagoma, good to have you back, pls just hold on, we'll get bye, all is well

dan banza shegen wawa! so which idiot actually said that drugba is betta dan henry? UR VERY VERY STUPID! i hate arsenal and all but i still think that the only playa dat can match himself to henry is Okocha. dat useless goal dat the drugba idiot scored during the aftrican cup of nations against nija was bullshit. the fucking goal was an offside and the idiot was happy to score an offside. Idiot, danboruo uban shi!

Man you be real Fulani

IF Drogba really said so, its true,
Drogba is a hard worker, and right now in form,
He's still a young chap, and is set to achieve much mor,
I'll say no more tho

How young is he? For all i know Drogba is just few months younger than Henry, should we now believe that Providence would ever be as kind to him as to achieve over the next 5yrs what Henry has? At least by then Drogba would be 33 and probably playing in Qatar or Asec Mimosas, lol

There is no doubt about the fact that Drogba has been hot this season but he can never be compared to Thierry Henry, perhaps he made a mistake when he said that, maybe he wanted to mention Shevchenko's name and not Thierry's.

@jaybaby you are right, Drogba is not even better than our own Papillo they are both tied at 8 goals apiece, dont forget his collection of laurels as well, what can be said of Drogba(idiot mumfu)de cale coupe

@Jaybaby dear, hmmn, am sure u know this is unfamiliar terrain 4 u? Lol

DAN BURO UBAN SHI, SHEGEN BANZA!. who lied to the idioit! is it b/cos he scored a goal on nigeria during the african cup of nations? it was even offside. BAN ZAN YARO im no no anything! WAWA CAWE!

*scratches head furiously*

holy shit

by now drogba should be hiding in the closet with all the anger and abuse spewing out of this thread

@kitaun

u sed he wasn mentioned atall, n am telln u he was eight! Did u c writing anytin else?
