Debroslink: Hello, are you okay? TH a big game choker? In which world? Va va voom that was able to find the net 28 times against the top six teams in England, averaging 0.76 goals per game from 2001-2006, na en you dey call big game choker? Chairman, TH14 was a big game player in the EPL, and he also had his moments in Europe - a brace in the San Siro, a hat trick at Roma and that solo run goal against Real Madrid. Last I checked, Zizou never contributed to any of the hundreds of goals TH14 scored at Arsenal, so what are you really yapping? |

If Mourinho hadn't benched Robben during the 06/07 season, the dude might have stayed with Chelsea. But his injury problems, then, were a source of frustration for Mourinho; hence his old nickname "glass ankles". 1 Like |

PDPGuy: Ferreira had 1.5 decent seasons and was absolutely useless for the next 5.5 years. Ivanovic goes into RB with Azpi pressing for the future (needs European success to compete with Iva). Fabregas has only had one good season as a regular. Kante might do a Dmitri Payet next season and might start misbehaving. He can't be a legend after 1 season. Hazard has also leapfrogged Robbed easily now due to longevity. ----------------Cech------------- ---Iva--Terry--Carvalho--Cole--- -------------Makalele-------- -----Essien---Lampard---Ballack---- ---------Drogba---------Hazard-------- 4 Likes |

Griffon: 2 one on one chances against freaking Valdes in 2006 UCL final, he blew them. Henry couldn't lift Arsenal when it mattered most. I easily remember Raul scoring goals in 2000 and 2002 UCL final victories. Henry was one of the biggest flops @ 2002 world cup where Zidane did not feature. The team crashed out in a group stage as the defending champion. You mentioned goals against Inter, Roma and Madrid. These are when Serie A was crumbling and Madrid were just galaticos who couldn't compete with Valencia @ that time. If it's the EPL, we all understand that Henry was the king of Highbury, take him out and let him play @ Wembley in FA cup, he choked all through against Liverpool where Owen stole the show. He ran to my team where bigger boys are, so he had to hide under the trousers of Messi, Xavi and Iniesta to win continental trophies. In our 2009/10 treble season, he had the lowest goals output of my team's front 3. He couldn't score more than 21 years old Messi despite all his experience in front of goals over the years. Show me the tournament he played for France and excelled without his master Zidane leading him. Don't mention confederations cup because Cameroon were in a mourning mood. 3 Likes |

.........................Cech............................... ...Ivanovic...Carvalho...Terry.......Cole............. ........................Makelele............................. ...............Essien................Lampard............... ....Robben...........................Hazard................ ........................Drogba.................................. I stick with the 4-3-3 because that was the most used formation in the era in question. A diamond might have gotten Ballack or Fab into the system. Robben goes in because even though it was a short stay and littered with injuries he was a difference maker when he stepped on the pitch and for Chelsea he was one of those who helped the club break its EPL duck. That defence is beyond question the best u guys ever had, only younglings would place Azpi(who is very good still) over Ivanovic( who dominated for a long time). If Azpi plays a few more years at RB, wins a few more titles( preferably UCL) then it can be revisited. Didier is Didier......PUT SOME RESPEK ON THE NAME DAMMIT! 6 Likes |

Debroslink: Which top player haven't missed a one on one chance or even a sitter? Give me a name. Debroslink: I've seen your little god, Messi, fail to lift Barca when it mattered most, does that make him less of a great/important player? In what was a historic season, Arsenal went the 2003/04 season unbeaten, with TH14 leading the charge with 30 goals in 37 games (0.81 goals per game). If that isn't lifting when it mattered, then I wonder what it means. It was TH14's superb volley that sent WC holders, Brazil out of the WC in 2006, firing Les Blues into the semis in the process. Chairman I still don't understand what your definition of 'lifting when it mattered' really means. Debroslink: TH14 was one of the four players in Les Blues team who had gone 45-47 games the season before the World Cup, he was obviously fatigued. That aside, It would be illogical to solely blame TH for France's dismal outing in 2002. Far from looking like the powerful adonis of yore, Desailly suddenly resembled an old man wading through syrup as he was continually embarrassed and found lacking in pace. It was the same story with Frank Leboeuf and Djorkaeff in the heart of defense. Wiltord, Viera, Trezeguet et al weren't just here or there. But No, it is Henry's fault they crashed out. Kontinue. Debroslink: Serie A in decline in 2002? Are you fvcking kidding me? Do you realise the UCL final in 2002/03 was between Milan and Juventus? And that was the same year TH had Roma eviscerated?! Do you realise after that game between Arsenal and Roma, two Italian outfits went on to win the UCL three times in the subsequent years? Which decline are you talking about chairman? It seems you are in possession of little knowledge of your league sef. Real won your league same season they fell for TH14's virtuous goal in the Round of 16 of the UCL. Debroslink: Who needs a Wembley when you could do the damage in Santiago Bernebau and San Siro, two of the world biggest footballing cathedrals. Debroslink: This is absurd. A 31 year old in 3 seasons was able to register 49 goals from the left wing, and you deem him a failure? Battering Real Madrid and Bayern to prove that class is permanent, and you still deem him a failure? Chairman abeg go siddon. Debroslink: Abeg which major tournament have Messi won with Argentina? TH14 have a World Cup and Euro medals in his locker atleast. Tell me about a great like Messi. 7 Likes 4 Shares |

Griffon: Bros, so many errors you posted. 1st, Arsenal's win against Roma and Inter did not happen in 2002. It happened after calciopoli in 2006 when Serie A was on the decline. 2nd, Arsenal's win over Madrid happened in 2006, and @ that time, anyone could beat Madrid. It was a period where getting to the semifinal of UCL was considered a holy grail. And yes, Madrid didn't win any league title that season. 3rd, Henry scoring 49 goals in 121 games in 3 seasons is considered a failure. Eto'o did 36 goals in one season. Neymar did 39 goals per season from left wing. We had Xavi, Iniesta and Messi supplying passes here and there. There is no margin for excuse. Henry scored against Brazil, and so what? Who supplied the assist? Who was man of the match? Zidane is the name. The day I gave up on Henry was in 2004 UCL Q/F match against Chelsea. Prior to the match, Henry had led Arsenal to defeat Chelsea on 3 different occasions the same season. Chelsea were the inferior team, but when the ovation was loudest, Chelsea led by Lampard ousted Arsenal @ Highbury. Henry was lost. Same Arsenal that went "invincible" that season ooh. If you wanna hype Henry, always mention his Highbury home. Outside that, he's just a normal striker. |

nateevs: Unlike Dayo, I am not using TH14'S WC medal to place him above Lionel Messi, that is one daft logic I won't adhere to. I asked Debroslink a simple question, very simple question. If TH14 must be considered a failure for not to have stirred Les Blues to victory in a major mundial, then Messi who has achieved nada with Argentina has to be considered a failure too. When national team success is made the primary determinant of who a top player is, then the 'greats' of the game have to be dragged into the fray too. It is that simple. |

Debroslink: I deal with facts hombre. 27/11/2002 - Stadio Olimpico - Rome Roma (Cassano 4) 1 v 3 Arsenal (Henry 6, 70, 75) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2oLAgPL4h8 November 25, 2003 - San Siro Inter Milan 1 v 5 Arsenal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMkNj3iv5tE So whatchya saying? Debroslink: Anyone could beat Madrid? Why didn't they relegate then? How do you come up with all these funny lines? You want me to believe that a team that finished as runners-up in the league that season, only to win it the next season, were weak? Your jokes are really funny. Debroslink: Eto was your team's focal point, it would be criminal for him not to score 30 goals in a season. Henry at Neymar's age was already considered a legend of the game, so? Don't miss out the key words hombre; "30-something year old, 49 goals, 3 seasons, from left wing. Epic! Debroslink: Aren't you forgetting something? 'Lifting the team when it mattered'. Another striker could have made a mess of that Zizou's beautifully crafted pass, but TH14 didnt. Bow to the king! Debroslink: Stop shooting yourself on the foot with the emboldened. He had already led Arsenal to defeat us on three separate occasions, why then criticize him for not turning up on one occasion? A single game doesn't make a player, neither does a particular fixture. If Messi was to be rated based on his scoring record against Chelsea, i am pretty sure he will be in the good company of Emily Heskey. Highbury home? Dude do you research, TH has scored nearly everywhere, against everyone. Stop posting what you are not sure of. Manyoo, Chelsea, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Roma, Bayern etc have all suffered in the hands of the igwe. Bow to the king! 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Griffon: 1st, the Madrid team that Henry scored against had not won a league title for 3 years. 31 years old Saviola scored a decider against them too. Kini big deal? A Madrid team that couldn't qualify for semi final of UCL in 8 straight years is weak. Neymar is already considered a Brazil legend and has surpass everything Henry ever did @ Barcelona. Henry scoring 49 goals in 3 years is considered a low return. Ronaldo at 32 is already on 40 goals a season. Van Nistelrooy at 31 won Golden boot in Spain. Person dey call 49 goals in 3 years igwe. I dunno what's so special about his goal against Brazil. He was left unmarked when he volleyed it. Not as good as Trezeguet's killer volley in Euro 2000 final. For a dude that couldn't inspire his team against a Chelsea team without Abramovich's billions, and Fernando freaking Morientes did so easily should never be placed side by side with the legendary Raul. Henry may be EPL King, but he's still some levels below Raul. 3 Likes |
