Just be honest Martin. You did it for the clicks. Stephen, London.
This is an article whose sole objective is to create controversy and get clicks. Rebel66, Vienna.
This is just your typical click bait controversial article. Thierry Henry would 100 per cent make a top five list of any normal person. Looger5, Liverpool.
Click bait king. JohnnyG, Melbourne.
Clickbait. Henry is in the top five all day long. Mr Herbert, Manchester.
Why are you stooping to this level of clickbait? This article reeks of desperation to appear edgy and controversial. Henry oozed class and terrorised defences with blistering pace, in what was an extremely physical league. Bewildered Civilian, Wirral.
So fatty now has even more clicks.

Oh, don’t flatter yourselves. Clickbait? You really think I care? If I wanted to, I could do one of these an hour, in my sleep. The fact is, I never go near them. My sports editor teased me about it after I filed this. That he loves list articles, and I never write them, and he hates baseball and American sports and I always reference them. And long before the internet was a thing, newspapers ran list columns. There were no personal computers, nobody to click. It was just interesting. It got people talking.
And tomorrow he'll get more. So job well done. If you can call it a job.
