Thierry Henry: Controversial Twitter thread exposing ‘most overrated striker in history’ goes viral

Thierry Henry had an extraordinary career, making it to the top of football on numerous occasions.


He won two Premier Leagues, two LaLiga titles in one of the greatest Barcelona teams ever, and a Ligue 1 crown to name but a few.

The Frenchman also boasts winners’ medals from the 1998 World Cup and the European Championships in 2000.


The former striker, who is probably best known for his days at Arsenal, also won a number of individual accolades including PFA Players’ Player of the Year in 2003 and 2004.


Henry is also the Gunners’ record goalscorer with a staggering 228 strikes for the club.


However, all these achievements are not enough in the eyes of one football fan on Twitter, who tweeted a stunning thread exposing Henry as a ‘bottler’.











Below you can see the Thierry Henry thread that has gone viral.

Arsenal news: Unai Emery’s astonishing record after 50 games at the Emirates shows just how good he’s been

Unai Emery took charge of his 50th Arsenal game on Thursday night as his side made it through to the semi-finals of the Europa League.


Their 1-0 win at Napoli was enough to see them progress to the final four of the competition.


It has been a long season for the Gunners with at least seven games still to play, eight if they reach the Europa League final.





Unai Emery has won 32 games for Arsenal

Unai Emery has won 32 games for Arsenal



Emery is starting to show his credentials as Arsenal manager and showing why they wanted him to replace Arsene Wenger last summer.


His side have won six of their last seven games and conceded just one goal in that time.


Emery has won 32 of his first 50 games in charge – the most by any Arsenal manager.





It is nine ahead of Wenger, who won 23 of his first 50 games.


George Allison is second on the list, with 28 wins, and he is their second longest serving manager who took charge for 13 years until 1947.


George Graham is third with 27 wins from his opening 50 matches.















Emery may feel those wins could be higher, though, as two of his defeats have come against Bate Borisov and Rennes.


The Gunners are also fourth in the Premier League with five games to go.


If Unai Emery can secure a top four finish and win the Europa League then it will no doubt be deemed a successful season.

Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold was right NOT to have been sent off against Newcastle United, according to former Premier League referee Mark Halsey

Former Premier League referee Mark Halsey insists Andre Marriner was right not to send Trent Alexander-Arnold off against Newcastle.


Furious players surrounded the referee at half-time when the Liverpool defender was not sent off for his deliberate handball.





Trent Alexander-Arnold provided two assists against Newcastle

Trent Alexander-Arnold provided two assists against Newcastle



Salomon Rondon’s effort was cleared off the line by Alexander-Arnold with his elbow in the 28th minute and Christian Atsu scored from the follow up.


Fans were also furious as they thought he should have been sent off but he was not even shown a yellow card. The right-back got two assists for the Reds as they beat Newcastle 3-2 at St James’ Park.

“I thought Andre was absolutely spot on.” Halsey told talkSPORT. “He had initially denied a goalscoring opportunity but it rebounded off him to a Newcastle player who put the rebound into the back of the net.


“Had he denied a goalscoring opportunity? You have to say no because the ball ended up in the back of the net from a rebound.


“Technically he should have cautioned Trent Alexander-Arnold for deliberate handling of the ball but it wasn’t a sending off because he didn’t technically deny a goalscoring opportunity.


“Had Andre blown his whistle or the ball not come back out to the attacker and Andre had given the penalty for denying a goalscoring opportunity, then he would have sent the player off.

“That’s law. Law 12 fouls and misconduct that is the law. If Andre had given the goal as he did and then sent the Liverpool player off and they would have appealed then they would have won their appeal because he would have been wrong in law.


“The way it all panned out, Andre was correct in law 12.”















Halsey was also asked if the outcome of the incident would have been any different if VAR would have been in use, as it will in the Premier League next season.


He added: “VAR would not have intervened with that incident in Newcastle’s first goal because everything was correct in law so they would not have got involved in that situation.”

He said: “When I raised that at a meeting in March, the representative from the club said it was allowed in the rules at that time.


“So is this! What is different? You set the mould and we copied your lead, now you’re bi******. He [Gibson] had the hypocrisy to do that.


“Even his own fans called it out on their forums and said ‘how dare we do this with our own history’. We discussed this issue again in April and there wasn’t a single vote against, including from their own club!


“They didn’t even vote for their own motion. It is absolutely hypocritical. I didn’t write the rules.


“They had the gall to say to us this is not right. Absolutely unbelievable. Those things to me are just insane.”

Florent Malouda: Chelsea legend ‘didn’t know’ about his release from FC Zurich until club announced it on Twitter

Florent Malouda claims he found out about his release from FC Zurich when the club announced it on Twitter.


The 38-year-old retired as a player last year and was last at Luxembourg’s FC Differdange 03.


He then joined Zurich in February as a coach.





Florent Malouda was released from his FC Zurich contract

Florent Malouda was released from his FC Zurich contract



The club announced on Thursday morning, though, that they had released the Chelsea legend by ‘mutual agreement’.


A statement read: “FC Zurich and Florent Malouda have decided by mutual agreement to end the recently started cooperation.


“It turns out that the various projects in which Florent Malouda remains involved are not compatible with the tasks planned by the FCZ.


“We wish Florent Malouda good luck and success on his future career path.”





It appears someone forgot to tell Malouda of the news, though.


He replied: “Really I didn’t know that…??”















The former winger spent six seasons at Stamford Bridge where he won the Premier League, Champions League and three FA Cups.


Prior to joining the Blues, Malouda enjoyed success with Lyon where he won four back-to-back Ligue 1 titles.

He told Sky Sports: “I don’t know how, when Leicester went for Brendan Rodgers, that someone at Chelsea didn’t ring him and say ‘just wait, just wait six months’ because I can’t see Sarri being there because the fans just aren’t having it.

Raul Jimenez: Wolves complete permanent signing of on-loan forward for club-record fee

Raul Jimenez has completed a permanent move to Wolves for a club-record fee, the Premier League side have confirmed.


Jimenez, the Mexico forward, has spent the season on loan at Molineux having joined on a year-long deal from Benfica last summer.





He has scored 15 goals in 37 games for Nuno’s side – also chipping in with three assists – as Wolves battle to finish seventh in the Premier League and also hope to book their place in the FA Cup final.


They take on Watford this weekend in the second semi-final, with the victor facing either Manchester City or Brighton in the Wembley showpiece.


Wolves had the option to sign Jimenez on a permanent basis written into their loan deal for the 27-year-old, and they are believed to have paid £32million to secure his signature.

Jimenez has put pen to paper on a four-year deal with the Midlands club.


He becomes Wanderers’ most expensive signing ever surpassing previous record holder Adama Traore, who joined the club last summer for £18million.


The forward said: “It’s a great honour for me to now be a permanent member of the team. I’m very happy for this permanent deal as I feel that being at Wolves suits me.


“I’ve enjoyed my time here, I enjoy playing in the pitch and, along with all my teammates, we try our best in all the matches to win.


“Since I’ve arrived here it’s all been so good. We’ve had some good moments, some bad moments; but the best ones have been so good and I’m very happy for that.”















Kevin Thelwell, the club’s sporting director, added: “The impact Raul has made during his short time at the club has been fantastic and we’re delighted that he’ll be part of the club’s long-term future.


“From the second he walked through the door, he settled straight into the group, and that reflects in his performance, with Raul providing assists and overall selfless performances, as well as obviously goals.


“His goals in the Premier League and FA Cup have been vital to this season’s success and we’re looking forward to seeing him contribute even more during what will be an exciting end to the season in both competitions.
