Don't be simple-minded! All i'm saying is Distin's addition has nothing to do with my wanting Rodallega to get a brace you make it sound like Distin is Franco Baresi and Paolo Maldini rolled into one i'm sure you've forgotten his gaffe against the Scousers so soon he ain't all that

@Krayola2
Looking at both Eto'o and Ibra so far you dont need Haitian voodoo or headless chickens to tell you that y'all got the shorter end of the stick (polite way of telling u Morrati and co performed a stick-up on y'all) and Uefa played a really nasty one by pairing both teams together in the UCL lol and them say oyinbo nor dey play wayo
Milan where really slaughtered tonight Ronnie still needs to lose some OZ's and mehn these Spanish clubs need to learn to be a bit more patient and less wasteful Sneijder was sizzling

Robben + Ribery mehn i'll admit wahala go dey if those midgets can stay feet

PS:If anyone either Barca fan or otherwise tells me Dani Alves is better than Douglas Maicon i would send him or her to a funeral home with a bullet in his or her dome lol

@Borat
Distin ko Dat tin ni! Was he not there when the Gunners pumped four past them? Rodallega grabs a brace i say

Wowie so we lost.Its funny i dont know who to start blaming but i guess the obvious culprits are that armed bandit that's disguised as a ref and Diaby
Fairplay to the Scummies they struck when the iron was hot something it seems we've forgotten how to do that in recent years.I think we could use a team shrink to psych these boys up when would they learn to stand up and be counted in big games?heck its now a crime to even be happy when we score first because you can almost bet your left nut sack that we would lose that advantage.
Expecting any favorable decision from a ref at OT is akin to trying to pound yam with a syringe even my octogenarian grand pa in Sapele knows that every 50-50 decision at OT usually goes in favor of the Scummies so expecting anything otherwise by the ref would be naive. .Its been on for years afterall we saw Fletcher's two footed lunge at Arshavin

It seems Arsene isn't signing anymore and this is very worrying
Lets hope our injury absentees get back after the int'l break and there are no fresh ones hopefully this would be a wake up call and not a death knell we would find out against Citeh

The Roc is in the building!
Its nice to see the team charging like an ASAMA bullet train (i hope i aint speaking too soon) Hunt,Faye,Nando,Assasin y'all are due for a pay raise Drogba and Cech did well too Larsson u had either shape up or ship out there's no time to check time,Rodallega if u know whats good for you better grab me a brace against that leaky Everton defence

chic2pimp:
thats the point I have been making all day. Ronaldo is numero uno while Henry is number 2 right behind him shikena

You would make that point all century and haters would not understand.Its easier to pound yam with a syringe than make them haters understand

Cats playing down Henry's importance in the Barca treble team should take out Henry's 26 goals and 12 assists and tell me where the treble would have come from

jay bee:
GREAT IMO is a summary term used to quantify players with different and all sort of records once they hang up their respective boots.
World class players are key to their respective team's success. They are players than can make impact/stamp own signature on the team's performance weak in weak out.

So are you saying Eto'o has not made and broken records?
2 UCL's
3 La Liga titles
Scoring twice in different UCL Finals
3 times African Player of the Year
Highest Goalscorer in Nations cup History
Olympic Gold winner
2nd Runner up WPOY (2005)

dayokanu:
[b]Can a coach decide to bench an important player in an important game? [/b]How many important games have Zidane, CR7, Ronaldo Lima, Messi been benched regardless of whom the coach is Even Ladan Bosso cant do that.

Yes for tactical and technical reasons e.g fitness,indiscipline e.t.c afterall Ginola and Cantona did not make France's squad

dayokanu:
Imagine comparing Henry a striker to midfielders why didnt you also include that he scored more than Barthez, Deschamps, and Dessailly?

Did you not see Fontaine on that list?? Why not show me the French striker that outscored him in any major tournament instead of playing Baba Ijebu with ma questions

dayokanu:
Etoo won 2 CL as an important player in both. Tell us what Henry won as an important player in his team.

World Cup,Euros,Ligue 1,EPL,La Liga,UCL

dayokanu:
Henry was at his peak and couldnt score against Tony Sylva of Senegal. He became so frustrated he got carded against Uruguay. SImply because Zidane wasnt available.
Zidane had to play against Denmark in crutches because Henry, Vieira, and Pires were so useless

Big players sometimes fail to shine in big tournaments e,g Raul,Van Horseface e.t.c. . .Shyte happens

dayokanu:
Is that the first time? Henry chokes at key moments. In Euro 2000 finals he was busy making back passes to Toldo before Trezegol nailed it.

Did you watch that Final at all?? Henry was arguably the best player in white that day

Krayola2:
I've conceded international football to Ronaldo.

I'm comparing their club careers. .  and no one has made any argument that shows otherwise. Ronaldo did not have a better club career than Henry. you can take that to the bank!!

Forget Henry's goals sef. .  the assists he has put up over his career (just the numbers) are enough to put him in contention for world's best playmaker. . . He is that good   

That's a cold hard fact my brother.He is the complete striker obviously Ronaldo de Lima is in a class of his own but Henry is right behind him then you can start with the Raul's and Sheva's of this world those are consistent players that delivered season after season not a C.Ronaldo that has one great season and then struggles the next

The same sun that reported that Man Utd was going to buy Neuer for 5million.

Sun is the British version of "better lover and hints"

bawomolo:
did the satire fly past you?

Its attempt at being humorous was kinda lame

jay bee:
Henry is world class but not a great. same way eto/van d poacher/drogba are

seems sauron has personal beef with henry

Please why is Eto'o not a great?? What does he need to do to be great?

dayokanu:
Sauron Check this link France vs Croatia

http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/edition=1013/results/matches/match=8786/report.html

Where are the GAYYners to fabricate another lie to defend Therry? A40 has done it and HNIC has done it who is next

It says he played and what else? even if it was wrongly assumed that he didn't where on that match report does it say Henry was the worst player on the pitch? Y'all need to stop hating,Henry is a highly fulfilled,accomplished player he won everything that was there to be won.He is France's all-time highest goal-scorer a country with players like Platini,Tigana,Fontaine,Zidane e.t.c no amount of bad belle can change that

dayokanu:
Tell me a player who didnt start in the quarters semi and didnt play at all in the finals is an important player?

In the French team Barthez, Thuram, Desailly, Deschamps, Zidane and Blanc were more important.

Has Henry ever been the player of the tournament in either a World cup, CL, Euro cup?

Why didnt Henry lift the French when Zidane was injured in 2002? what of when Zidane retired in 2004? What of in Euro 2008? where was Thierry?

Henry is a good player but not a great

That was down to the decision of the coach bottom line is the matches he played he made enough impact to score the most goals for France even in the midst of more experienced players

Theo Zagorakis has been named Player of the Tournament before that must make him a great too abi?

What else could Henry have done? They suffered a freak loss to Senegal and he got red carded in the first half against Uruguay even Zidane could not salvage things against Denmark so what are you on about??You seem to forget that football is a team sport

Like it or not Henry is a great

tkb417:
where did you get this from?
Zidane!!!

Ok he did that just once but in:
France 98
Euro 2000
Germany 2006
Euro 2008 (Na only am score for France sef)

My argument was in response to dayokanu's claim that Henry was not an important member of the French team in any of their major triumphs in World Football and thats a white hot lie

dayokanu:
Our position doesnt tell the whole story, Sooting traded players and lost 32 points

Na only you sell players abeg make we hear word bo

dayokanu:
Messi, Etoo, Xavi, Iniesta, Alves, Puyol, Toure need I name more?

Henry provided about 26 goals and 13-15 assists. . He clearly contributed his quota if you like include Valdes,Abidal and Bojan in your list it won't change shit

dayokanu:
Goals scored against South Africa were actually scored by Pierre Issa. If Henry's goals were that important why was he benched against Italy, Croatia and Brazil? I guessed Saudi and SA were more fitting matches for Henry. when the going got tough they booted him out and brought in tested players
in WC 2006 he scored 2 goals against Togo imagine!!!!

All these goals count towards three points and qualification go and cancel Batistuta's goals against the Reggae Boys of Jamaica then and how about Klose's hat-trick against Saudi Arabia? I don't remember him scoring after Germany went past the group stages in Korea Japan.Even if he was not started is it not a shame that his replacements could not outscore him? We can assume Guivarch,Duggary,Trezeguet et al where better than Henry abi?how many could they net against Italy and Croatia?

dayokanu:
LIE!!!! Euro 2004 Zidane outscored Thierry and Zizou scored vital goals in vital games

In Euro 2004, France played England, Switzerland and  Croatia and Greece. Henry could only score against the weakest Switzerland and He was at his peak in 2004

Ok just one tournament out of about five!! Does that not tell you something? Most of Zidane's goals are from set-pieces and and a significant number from fouls on Henry e.g England in Euro 2004 and Portugal in 2006
If he did not score against Switzerland,France would not have made the Q.Finals its that simple

HNIC:
Obviously, you are joking when you wrote the above.
You must be the only one that didnt know that the French had a striker crisis at the 1998 world cup.
Guivarch started in the Final against Brazil
Henry got injured was why he wasn't played in the knock out stages!

Please leave dayokanu he is obviously high on Reggie Miller.As at France 98 sef Henry was more of a winger than a striker and he still netted goals

dayokanu:
The strategy should be "Use Arsenal players at the begining " by December sell them all cos they would begin their free fall then

Hahaha you are worse than Arsenal abeg see position wey you dey for table

Jeez i am about 77pts away from the top ohh well there's still 35 weeks to go!! A lot of ish can still go wrong or right

I can only conclude that if the writer of this article is male then he must be gay

He is No 3 All-time in the UCL scorer's chart.Whether you haters like it or not his name would still be mentioned among the greats when he retires

I can see Reggie Miller sticks are being passed around in heavy rotation in this joint

dayokanu:
Henry was considered a joke by many of his peers at that time

dayokanu:
Frank Lebouef too won the World cup and Euros. The credit of Frances win should go to the Zidanes, Petit, Deschamps, Lizarazu, Thuram, Desailly and co what did he win individualy?
All I can see here are 2nd place, 3rd place . Never a winner
All the players you mentioned here won CL as key players Raul, Maldini and Kahn Buffon has been the best goalkeeper in the world for a minute and He was Italian goalkeeper at the world cup playing every single minute, Tell Us how important Henry was to Frances team of 1998 or 2000 He wasnt in the team of the tournament, didnt start the quarter final, semi final or finals,

It would interest you to know that no French Player has outscored Henry in any major tournament since France 98 if that does not tell you about Henry's importance i don't know what will

You guys are really rolling solo.I really underrated the impact of Alonso in your squad Lucas has been pure gar-barge but all in all all of Villa's goals came against the run of play really its really hard to point out what y'all did wrong even though you lot could have been a bit sharper going forward.One more thing you guys don't seem to have a backup striker for Torres ooh thats a big problem

Make him go church!! he has not even played two seasons yet so what is he crying about?? Let him come to Africa and see people whose monthly salaries cannot buy a pair of CP3 sneakers! Some people got it a lot more f.ucked up than you do Mr Beasley

chiogo:
Goodgood. Except it's too damn hot. lol

A.I is a done deal

Hey ya pele.Have you tried the North Pole

El Nino wetin happen na? I know you got a goal but you could have done better!! why on earth where you falling all over the place like you where drunk on some distilled vodka??

Ashley Young is a bloodclot from Babylonia i hope his injury is season ending. . . I just dey joke but for real why is the idiot-thing so inconsistent?

Cesc and Arshavin una no try at all one of y'all would have to go for Lampard or Gerrard just when i thought my team was moving up

Drogba just dished a sizzling assist
Bandely today na your lucky day!
Zamora out so Chelsea please lock up no conceding of goals

Zamora it is either you equalize or the rest of Fulham just file be

Drogbaaaa!

@lalaboi
Shey na craze dey worry u abi na u dey worry craze? What kind of bad prediction is that?

@tubabie
O se jare Omo Olope

The logic is so simple even a caveman would understand

@Nateevs
I get your point what i'm saying is making wholesale changes tend to backfire more often than not you might get lucky sha who knows

Better stick with Pepe because Petr has been shyte so far even against mediocre opposition such as Hull and Sunderland

@bandely
Hahaha wetin concern you? All i'm asking is for either Cech to keep a clean sheet or only let in goals from Bobby Zamora

@Vieira
I have seen refs give that before or have you forgotten Senderos and Kanu in 07 at the Emirates?

@chiogo
I'm good mami how is the summer treating ya?

@bawo
Well i dont think any forward thinking team should have A.I at starting point guard so what gives?
