hmm for some reason, I think this will make Henry pull up his socks and show some grit this season! |
Re: Drogba: I'm Better Than Thiery Henry by kitaun(m): 3:23pm On Nov 27, 2006 |
exu: a) Every tom, dick and harry knows Henry is better than Drogba, so why should i even waste my time telling you why when the records are there? Is it not the same thing as asking why you should salute your elders early in the morning? b) I did not insult you, but rather gave me people an insight into how blighted your view is, so that they would understand you dont understand simple things, if i insult you, might be you would be too weak to even sit in front of your puta c) Decency of formatting my text and correctness of English abi? I doubt if your posts indicate you are any beta even if i concede am one of the poorest at that on Nairaland, mumu No one is defending Henry's honour, cos he has over the years allowed his playing do the talking for him, not some loud-mouthed player that has hit form after years in the desert and needs to be reminded of the fate that befell players like RVN that the highest goalscorer award is not won until the last few matches, we are all living witnesses to how Henry did that last season leapfrogging RVN having 5 goals more in the process after the matches missed The point is already made; Drogba has been better than Henry this season, but does that take anything away from Henry? he has always been the most phenomenal player in the EPL, so why deny him of his plaundits? By the way which club do you support? cos i don't know you, lol @Tspurs You sure don't deserve a response from me, now that you know we know who you are, maybe it would augur well for you to come and do your thang instead of using a fake Id, Agbaya You talk of people being on Nairaland 24/7 e dey pain u say some people's job dey online-based? which CVs u see wey people paste here abi why u wan make dem be lecturer by force? Lol I dare you to come back and for real your misery continues |

marlet01: @MARLET01 You should have read the first page of the thread to know the source and also from my other posts on this sports forum that im a GUNNER 4 life and besides that Thiery Henry is my man anyday anytime, @Mukina, this is unbelieveable i got this story from Eurosport and pasted it here word for word even seun did some research and came up with a different source on the same comments accredited to Drogba, Please folks this thread was not started for the purpose of insults , if you can't argue for or against constructively why you think the comment is ridiculous or true simply read and move on to the next thread rather than trading insults here, Thanks |
Re: Drogba: I'm Better Than Thiery Henry by exu(m): 4:02pm On Nov 27, 2006 |
everyone is entitled to he's season of madness. for that i refuse to crucify drogba It isn't really a 'season of madness' when you've had multiple good seasons in France. Then been asked to play a different role to the one you have been used to, in a different league and succeed at that also. Fact of the matter is you can rely on Drogba to fight for the team all the time by any means. Drogba has shown that he can perform consistently at the international level against top opposition- can Henry? Drogba can adapt to different roles and still succeed- can Henry? Drogba has been the best striker in two different leagues- would Henry have even made the bench had he moved to Barcelona? In some ways it is commendable that Henry refuses to play anything other than the 'beautiful game'. It shows a degree of integrity. But I know if I was building a team I would pick a Drogba over an Henry every time. |
Re: Drogba: I'm Better Than Thiery Henry by superman(m): 4:26pm On Nov 27, 2006 |
hey hey stand up ! anyway i think something needed to be clarified here as yall can see right. 1 it is without doubt to say drogba is on his top form at the moment ! fact no objection @ExE and co 2 it is also without doubt to say that herny yes herny is not on his top form! once again no objection for god sake ! just joking maybe however to say stupidly i mean stupidly that Drogba is better than herny is to say somaila national football team is better than super egales! pls can someone pls go drink garri and also make sure u had enough water to avoid some kinda struggle in the toliet seat |
Re: Drogba: I'm Better Than Thiery Henry by amoke115: 4:26pm On Nov 27, 2006 |
I see more of insults than constructive talk on this thread, maybe its because drogba once said his dream was to play alongside henry in the french team so that explains he would love to be like henry or half as good |
Re: Drogba: I'm Better Than Thiery Henry by amodu(m): 5:04pm On Nov 27, 2006 |
Drogba make his own opinion but that has not make him a better player than Henry. |
Re: Drogba: I'm Better Than Thiery Henry by Radiant(f): 10:43pm On Nov 27, 2006 |
Drogba comparing himself with Henry? Respect? I mean, who is he? He should be locked up in a gas chamber. Ivory Monkey |
Re: Drogba: I'm Better Than Thiery Henry by Jackal(m): 11:51pm On Nov 27, 2006 |
Hey kids, Don't pollute this thread with cheap insults. Lets reason more like real soccer analysts. So far this season, Drogba is on top of his game and he has a right to boast he is better than Henry. Overall, Drogba is still a toddler and he will learn a lot from Henry if he can keep his foul-mouth shut. Its too early for him to start saying he is better than anyone. The EPL golden boot is not won in November. There's still a long way to go and Drogba should be castrated for even making such a malicious statement. He once said he was better than Samuel Etoo-so lets just assume Drogba is mentally deranged. Kanu, Rooney, Saha are chasing him so he should rather let his football do the talking. As a matter of fact, Drogba was anonymous in yesterday's big game and this is where one expect him to show his class. |
Re: Drogba: I'm Better Than Thiery Henry by Radiant(f): 12:04am On Nov 28, 2006 |
Certainly deranged! |
Re: Drogba: I'm Better Than Thiery Henry by kitaun(m): 1:42am On Nov 28, 2006 |
Exactly the points i had been bringing out, he should have his mouth padlocked, lol |

Records speak for themselves. Season stats courtesy Espnsoccernet. GP 14 | G 8 | A 3 (2006/07 Premiership) Drogba. GP 11 | G 6 | A 2 (2006/07 Premiership) Henry this season. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/players/stats?id=8039&cc=5739 henry's history for the last 5 seasons. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/players/stats?id=18727&cc=5739 Drogba's history for the last 5 seasons. see there is really no basis for comparism. In short they no be mate. even this season there is not rily a lot to seperate them. also note for all the so called form drogba is havin he has not even won the player of the month this term or in his entire time at chelsea records my people speak volumes. So what is the basis for this comparism. BARCLAYS PLAYER OF THE MONTH 2006/07 August 2006 Ryan Giggs (Manchester United) September 2006 Andy Johnson (Everton) October 2006 Paul Scholes (Manchester United) BARCLAYS PLAYER OF THE MONTH 2005/06 August 2005 Darren Bent (Charlton Athletic) September 2005 Danny Murphy (Charlton Athletic) October 2005 Frank Lampard (Chelsea) November 2005 Robin van Persie (Arsenal) December 2005 Wayne Rooney (Manchester United) January 2006 Anton Ferdinand (West Ham United) February 2006 Kevin Nolan (Bolton Wanderers) March 2006 Wayne Rooney (Manchester United) April 2006 Steven Gerrard (Liverpool) Player of the Year 2005/06 Thierry Henry (Arsenal) . he is not even better tha Rooney thgis term let alone Henry. So mr Drogba shut up. |
Re: Drogba: I'm Better Than Thiery Henry by ObaMan(m): 9:43am On Nov 28, 2006 |
HENRY SNUB IS 'SCANDAL' Dont u think there is ojoro? |
Re: Drogba: I'm Better Than Thiery Henry by Jackal(m): 10:04am On Nov 28, 2006 |
@ Obaman, Henry shot himself down in the final of the UEFA champions league. That was the big stage he needed to have showcased his talent but his performances that night was awful. To be frank, Henry was the architect of the loss to Arsenal. Besides, these awards are not based on the individual skills alone, they also look at the contribution towards one's team. How your quality and individual brilliance has been able to influence your team into winning trophies. Henry's contribution to the French team was over-shadowed by Zidane and Lehmann was the main star at the UEFA champions league. Lehmann kept Arsenal in that competition and his sending off was a big blow to Arsenal in the final. Cannavaro on the other hand has been brilliant. He is a defender so i cannot really compare him to Henry. He kept Juventus defence tight throughout last season. He was their best player by miles when they fell to Arsenal @ Highbury. Fabio was also the main man at the World Cup. He was exceptional from matchday1 till the finals without a blip. His contribution to his team kept his team alive with several clean sheets to spare. He also had a World Cup medal and Scudetto title under his belt. If i may remember, Henry did not win anything this year. He lost in the 2 finals he played and that was where he slipped. |
Re: Drogba: I'm Better Than Thiery Henry by loyika(m): 10:33am On Nov 28, 2006 |
Well taking into consideration that the sculetto medal was taken away from him, means that he only has the WC to show for all the hype. (and besides Italy won on pens, so its not as if France really lost out during the match, or is Henry to blame for Zidane's headbutt ) Frankly i don't think he deserves it, TH14 should have picked it up this year, but like you said, the two finals spoke for him. If not it should have been given to Sam Eto. Well guess they wanted to make the other footballers feel good, as usually defenders and goalkeepers are really the last folks to pick up awards. Do i even bother with the Drogba stuff Well all i will say is Sammie Eto is injured, didn't go to the WC, yet is still seen as better than Drogs in africa, so Drogs should just shut up, he ain't even better than Kanu He can't even polish Henry's shoes, and would pay money to be in the same advert as Henry. (this from a player who last season was booed by his own supporters and we are still arguing over his comments) I guess is really good for him that when he opens his mouth people take notice, after all he accepted that he cheated sometimes on live TV so what do we all expect. He is just lucky that Crespo decided to leave and they got him a pensioner as his strike partner, if not we won't be hearing all this rubbish GOONER 89 |

For where? |
Re: Drogba: I'm Better Than Thiery Henry by kitaun(m): 11:24am On Nov 28, 2006 |
@Loyika, once again well said, at a time i thought it was Drogba and Obagol they were comparing so why should Henry ever be mentioned ìn the same breath with Drogba? |
Re: Drogba: I'm Better Than Thiery Henry by Pamperme: 1:02pm On Nov 28, 2006 |
[color=#000099][/color] Chelsea for life Mourinho forever Drogba is the man for this season. You can say whatever u like about him, the guy is making his money and doesn't have an idea that you guys are insulting one another and families over him. |
Re: Drogba: I'm Better Than Thiery Henry by mrpataki(m): 1:32pm On Nov 28, 2006 |
Haha? Drogba better than Henry? Na wah oh, people just like to look for added on relevance. Saying that is like trying to say a man can as well deliver a child better than a woman does. Never!!! Parallel lines can never meet.
