Thierry Henry retires from football

[AFC Leveller]

"I played in some big games for Arsenal, Barcelona, France, Juve, Monaco… nothing will ever top that night for me," Henry said.
"I really thought I was in a dream. I remember staying in the dressing room for two hours just contemplating. To score a goal again for Arsenal was out of this world."

Leeds, FA cup 2012.

I found Shearers comments along the lines of 'he could do most things on a football pitch'.....

I know how it is probably intended but it comes across as the most half arsed praise I've heard of a true great in a long time.

Shearer knows the score.

Shearer's entire punditry career is half-arsed. It actually makes me angry that's he's paid out of my licence fee.

good stuff - we have 3 out of the top 5.
Henry, Van Persie, Wright -------- Welbeck, Sonogo, Giroud - in Letters words "its progress"

Yep, that completely represents my views and isn't twisting things whatsoever.
You win today's episode of THE INTERNET.

really should shut this place down.

[Master Splinter]

Letters clearly gets some sort of kick from it.

It's his equivalent of Fight Club.

What was con artists minutes per goals I Wonder? I suppose he is not included as he would have scored under 100 goals....

I was a little surprised by Drogba's but his is skewed by the fact he took about 2.5 years to settle!

If we shut this place down then I'd lose my imaginary internet power. Without that I am nothing. NOTHING!
