Liverpool fan here what a player Henry was absolutely world class
YNWA
No shit Sherlock 😂😂
@@jarrydtuivasa-inglis7405 response just isn't necessary is it
Why does it matter your a Liverpool fan haha
@@edwarddavies3150 why does it matter ur a clown u idiot
Henry has been the best player in premier league history, but, outside of Liverpool players, my favorite was always Dennis Bergkamp. Could use so many adjectives to compliment him, but I’ll just say he was pure class.
Defo mate.. was gutted when ice man moved to arsenal
That chip-up goal from the edge of the box goal against manchester united in the year 2000 was just absolutely madness
@It doesn’t matter What your name is i agree but henry was next level. le tis had unreal shooting ability.
@It doesn’t matter What your name is yup, agree. he had chances tho but loved where he was at.
It wasn't just the handball it was the celebration that sticks in my head.
Every person that comes on this podcast is top drawer quality.
This has become an essential listen everytime I get the notification.
Thanks Robbie
Love the podcast but weakest guest imo
@@patrickrafferty1936 don’t violate the king of kings
Best player to ever grace the premier league! This guy made me fall in love with football!
Same 😁
I’m 30 years of age. For me, the best player I’ve watched in Premier League. Honourable mentions to
Michael Owen
David Silva
Luis Suarez
Ronaldo
Nikolas Bentner
When an Irish person says “I’ll fucking kill you” they don’t mean it literally, they just mean they’ll stay angry at you for a long time. I’m Irish and I got over the handball incident pretty quickly, as did nearly everyone else I know. Henry was an absolutely fantastic player, a great pro who made a split second decision that anyone would have done in his position. He’ll always get respect from serious football people in Ireland.
I'm sorry mate, but you've got selective memory - I remember effigies of Thierry Henry being hung from lampposts outside pubs and Arsenal shirts being burnt and spat on.
@@jmascisss in Finglas.
Not in N.Ireland lol
@@matthewjamison u know it 👉🏻
@@matthewjamison what was your excuse for not qualifying lol
Not an arsenal fan but love Henry, best player the Premier league has ever seen and by some margin
Cristiano Ronaldo for that 42 goal season was better than Henry’s best ever season 🤷🏻♂️
@@JOB-kz2sb nah not for me
Not even close , Henry game was much better rounded
Surely Ronaldo
@@JOB-kz2sb If were talking strictly premier league, Henry's 02/03 season was incredible with 24 goals and a whopping 20 assists..
A Man Utd fan..... Thierry a true legend. What a player.
Thierry Henry was so great he has his own catch phrase which everyone will have forgotten but y'all will know it...."Va Va Voom!!"
Absolute class of a player and man. Could listen to him all day. My favorite non-Liverpool player ever
Agree 101%
No player in the prem had Henrys panache in his pomp. I'm a United fan and my word...what a player. That chest control, spin n turn and volley over Barthez on Goal...OMG
Thierry is absolutely spot-on about how players who make the pass don't get enough credit. I was never a very prolific scorer but as a 10 you could count on me to make the correct pass, but I rarely got credit for the many tap-ins I set up for my strikers and the runs to pull defenders away.
I'm an Irish fan, and I wouldn't think of threatening the man or anything over a game of football, but that handball incident was devastating. I think the ball touched his arm 2 or 3 times preventing it from going for a goal kick. The linesman or ref should have seen it as well. But for a small country like Ireland, who had an uphill battle against France, after as big a performance as could be asked from our lads, to be done in by blatant cheating was a kick in the teeth. And he can say it was instinct, and maybe it was, but Ireland went out and France went through.
Henry is one of the greatest strikers for club and Country. I have a lot of respect for the guy, but that moment was a smack in the face to a plucky nation. It was unjust.
Paddy from Kerry saying : "I'd bate the head of Thierry Henry", is not a death threat.
watching Theiry Henry, Arsenal era, in my town in East Africa and the way he moved the ball and putting the ball in the corner while he is leaning on the other side, brings mixed memories about my city, my friends and my local team that I played. One of my team mate even used to immitate Thiery Henry.
Irish and a utd fan but I must say excellent podcast 👏🏻 👏🏻 fair play rob
When Maradonna scored the "Mano de Dios" goal against England, how the Brits squealed. I loved it.
Henry's hand ball against Ireland is stuff that goes on in matches. Mind you Henry goes on like he's some kind of Saint.
Frankly as an Irishman I couldn't give a damn about the goal. We've all forgotten about it.
Love Thierry. Am a LFC fan.
Arsenal with Bergkamp Henry Viera under Wenger was amazing team. deserved European Cup Title.
Henry epitomized class and guile, what a player he was for both club and country, wish he could have played for my Liverpool!
We speak alot about Henry on our noughties podcast. What a man, what a player & what memories!
What a great pod cast show you guys put on ✌️👊
I am a 43 year old, I watch youtube, but I don't and never used facebook, Twitter or Instagram. I dont need to know what people are doing, people dont need to know what I am doing. I dont need to know what people think of me and I people dont need to know what I think. Best thing I have done is not to use and ever used social media. You cant miss something if you have never had it before. I understand it can be useful, but personally used the wrong way its not safe and causes too many problems. Btw. Big liverpool fan and a Henry fan. One of the best strikers to grace the premier league
Spot on 👏
Hard when you're in the spotlight cos it's part of the job
@@Chigz10 no it's not media duties are part of the job, being on social media is purely your own choice
same, social media is either a) people being nosy and voyeuristic b) people attention seeking c) people virtue signalling...I quit it all when I realised two things...I couldnt care less what people are doing and I dont want people knowing my business.
This is social media.
This podcast is getting better and better, especially now as Chris and Robbie are not talking over each other anymore like when they first started. Would love to see Keegan, Crouchy, Xabi Alonso and Luis Suarez on in future episodes, please!
this is the MOST interesting of all the interviews so far. and ALL of them are fantastic.
Arsenal fan who's watched every video thus far but to have the new king (old being Kenny) on was very unexpected.
Loved this one so much 😍
Best guest on this podcast for me by far......think he will be a great manager with the footballing insights he has just shared 👍🏽
Henry is definitely the best PL player ive seen
Legend! If only Liverpool could have signed him! Beautiful person too!
Well said and agree
I used to like and admire Thierry, now i love him. Great episode guys.
I tell you what, Robbie really gets the creme de la creme on his podcasts 👍
This is a proper chat. Such a good watch. Two legends of the game
Robbie Fowler was one of the best strikers I ever saw and my first time seeing Robbie was in the Toulon tournament at U18 level for Eng. Robbie could strike a ball so cleanly with very little back lift so for me he was top class. Alan Shesrer was a proper striker too btw. Shearer missed 2 full yrs with those terrible injuries and they were when he was at his very best so imagine u could stick another 40-50 or even 60 goals on top of his record but for those bad injuries.
Ian Wright was a complete goal scorer for me too btw but Thierry was easily the best for what he brought to Arsenal. I honestly believe if Shesrer went to Old Traffprd when Fergie wanted him he would’ve smashed every record and Utd would’ve won the Champions Lge at least 3 more times with him in the number 9 shirt.
I genuinely believe that guys. Imagine if Thierry was in that Utd side too btw. He woulda scored so many more goals too. It all pie in the sky stuff bcos they played for Arsenal and Newcastle respectively but the great Fergie sides were so much more consistent overall so both of them would’ve killed it in the league and in Europe too
He was the best ever Premier League player for me. It's just a game if it's 11 vs 11 and there's no consequence or fans involved. When it's competitive it's so much more than just a game. The anger and fury is always understandable but letting it out on people is not. Call the cheats, cheats and you can hope for karma but you lose when you attack them personally.
Henry can't compare a Messi handball against Espanyol to denying a country a World Cup spot unfortunately for him it will always be something he's remembered for as well as being a premier league great
We played them off the park over the 2 games and et ,,as Richard Dunne said I just wanted to punch him in the face and am a die hard Arsenal fan he lost a lot of respect that night, can't take away what he done over his career Legend of the game one of the goats greatest of all time
@@boyce8868 What does goat mean?
@@robovac3557 greatest of all time
@@leverholme9894 Thks. Pity it wasn't explained when Tommy Boyce said it.
@Rat Ratman No bitterness it happened over 11 years ago but players are remembered for their iconic moments good and bad it doesn't take away from the football genius he was it was just an iconic moment in his career on a big stage
Henry was so much more than just a striker, he had everything
Henry: My favourite player in the premier League era that didn't play for Liverpool. If anyone asks my favourite foreign player Henry.
A player I genuinely just enjoyed watching 👌
Agree totally here!
Thierry Henry Legend 🏆⚽️❤
Henry is just a geezer btw made me fall in love with football best ever prem player
excellent interview, I respect Thierry very much for the awareness he’s bringing to these topics. Legend of the game.
Robbie I’d love to hear you talk about that penalty incident with Seaman, get him on!
5:10 The Copyright argument is such a good one. All these platforms are quick to remove copy right but won't do anything about racism
🏆👏🏽
Racism is taken off social media in most cases quickly. But how do you define racism, not insult has racial connotations
@@lukebrodin631 No it isnt. Racism is not difficult to understand. There is no grey areas. Just lack of common sense.
@@firstnamelastname9616 A black player been called a “beast” is now categorised as racist to the woke club, even tho many white players are called the same. Saying players from Africa lack technical skill is now racist, even tho people will say the same about England which is true
@@lukebrodin631 Again, common sense. Thats not racist. Derrick Lewis - The black beast, Brock lesnar the beast, Akinfenwa the beast, Mark Labbett thebeast. The lack of tecnhical skills is just factually not true, its about equal for English players and African players. It always has been Vieira, Evra, Drogba, Yaya Toure, Salah, Mane, Mahrez Mane, Okocha,etc all technical. The problem occurs when you try and create a narrative thats not factually true to fit an agenda.
Robbie I love you I’m a massive red but your mate speaks in a way and asks the exact questions I want to ask. Quality podcast fellas
Wow what a podcast, I was glued, probably one of the most interesting foootball podcasts Ive ever seen, brilliant, love the way you lads let your guests go for it!
what a player!, what an entertainer!, thank you for this.
God bless you Thierry Henry
Need to get big Dave Semen on the show, great keeper and great man
What a guy best player to grace the premier league
I was in Paris that night.....still haunted by it!!!
Class act through and through. Makes me even prouder to be an Arsenal fan.
Great player. Class is
not celebrating a cheating goal and admitting it was a miserable mistake to play hands and acting innocent
where's the Paul Scholes podcast gone???????????
was there one?
@@lukebrown8580 yeah
They made the Paul Scholes & Joey Barton episodes private for some reason
Great work as always lads
Not even half way through This is some chat guys! TH what a man YNWA
I remember when he first played on the left & he couldn't hit a barn door, Moved him up front & boom he hits the target! One of the Goats for sure.
Greatest PL player of all time and Thierry Henry.
The difference with the infamous hand ball involving this great player is he actually handeld the ball twice in the same passage of play which takes instinct 100% out of the discussion.
The second touch pressed it downwards
The amount of self righteousness on social media is outstanding 👏
At the time I was so mad at him for it because I’m Irish but if I was French I’d be jumping with joy and Irish player would of done the same thing 🇮🇪
Great save from Henchoz.
😡😄 I was pissed can’t lie then Owen at the end bloody hell
@@tris87don16 Ye mate, I had Henchoz down as a cert for save of the season. It felt like we only got two kicks of the ball in that game. Fortunately for us, they were Michael Owen's two goals. Unlucky lad.
Bending the knee has not done anything, the people at the top would be happy for the players to carry on doing it without acting on it. the next step is to walk off the pitch in the next qualifyers. Maybe even league games. Change is needed.
totally agree.. people are distracted and obsessed with superficialities cos actual change is hard and has cost that not everyone is willing to pay ..
I can't have been the only one to have noticed that Thierry speaks better English than Robbie.
It's their 2nd language. Fowler's 1st language is scouse & Thierry's French. What's Kanes excuse lol
Looool
What did he say that is bad English exactly?
As an Irishman I've gotten past the handball and so has everyone else I know, the only reason I'd ever bring it up would be for the meme. But you shouldn't ever get death threats over a football match, you're a great man Theirry and you're forgiven ;)
Respect
I support Everton and had absolutely no problem with that Fowler celebration against us. I think if you're giving it out to the players then they should be able to give it back within reason when they score. I also remember watching him play us while he was at Man City and was getting called a smackhead the whole game and he scored then and ran towards the corner flag near where I was smacking his head. You just have to laugh and take it.
Lfc for life but I love Henry he was class
What a podcast btw , amazing
GOAT PL player, nay striker, GOAT mastery of the English language.
I am biased as a gooner. But I would have him over any other striker, Henry was fast, skilful, arrogant in the best way, scored outrageous goals which not many strikers have scored. He is the best PL player in my opinion.
im only half way through and he just talked briefly about assists and if you look back at his combined goals and assists output per season its incredible , i heard him say before his assists are something he was most proud of and he would rather be known as a great assister than " just" a great goalscorer . proper team player .
King Henry 👑
Not a football fan,but man can Henry talk,Thierry whaT a ball kicker.
As an Irish Arsenal fan I accept what Henry has said here about twice touching the ball. What he glosses over is not putting his hand up and admitting to it in the minutes that followed. If it was as he said, untypical of his career why didn’t he fix it?
Best strike to grace the premier league
Great Podcast 🏆🏆
Best player I've ever seen
Wat a player he was
Nobody abuses me on social media because I only add people I know.
If people didn’t use it as an advertisement platform for everyone to see, they wouldn’t have a problem.
Just a thought 💭
or because nobody cares enough, not trying to be rude but you're a nobody compared to a top level footballer. they pretty much have to be on social media for commercial reasons, and you don't have to 'add' someone on social media for them to reach you
@@Chigz10 - I understand that completely. And by ‘add’, I mean restrict Instagram settings to private, unless approved. Footballers had and still have private fb accounts, which can restrict who can see their posts and media.
If they want to use it was a billboard, then there’s going to be distasteful graffiti on it at times.
These platforms are a money game for all involved, and that’s why copyright is so strict on them.
I don’t condone the hate speech, and I grew up watching Thierry as if he were a god, but I’m just offering another angle of the story, even if it’s obtuse.
Henry was a a brilliant player but that hand ball still rankles when it's brought up or spoken about
@Rat Ratman Roy keane also ran out on us at saipan so cant really talk about the incident. Henry cheated fair play to him and got away with it. The most pleasing thing was we were the better team on the night and that was rarely the case under trapatoni in any game
What happened to the Scholes podcast?
Re-title this 'The Thierry Henri Monologue'.
A legend
Kudos to Henry for coming off social media. All bullies in my opinion should rot in hell.
Wonder how many noticed Fowler never said Henry was best striker/player league has seen, funny enough came across his bt sport video 2 years ago Fowler saying Shearer was better.
Nothing wrong with not saying it but seems like he avoided actually saying yes and no, who was better? Apples and oranges but then let's be real his hardly going to say Henry isn't when his interviewing him so yeah something I happened to notice.
Major respect to Glen Kamara wat a professional. at least he can say hes now a legend of 55 and in so many rangers fans he will backed. that nasty person who did that should be banned and his club out of the competition or whats the point of these ppl at fifa and uefa even the sfa, if they cant enforce the rules change them. u cant defend racism!!!!!
Fascinated stuff ....fascinating interview overall... "Ball will move faster than the players" in Barcelona/Pep team is what I will take away from it
That’s actually what was said by the Newcastle coach of Santiago Munez, in GOAL 😄
That was superb.
The most dangerous player I’ve seen in the prem v us was unplayable sometimes 😆
legend
Great Player ⚽️
I'll give this one a miss.Can't stand cheats.Love your channel Robbie.Respect.
No offense Thierry but against Espanyol Messi(ah) also scored the other Maradona goal too. He was revered for that goal.. not the Hand of God goal. YNWA
I remember he was crying like a baby in a game at home to Newcastle in 2001 about a late penalty for Newcastle, then he cheated Ireland out of the World cup, the DOUBLE STANDARDS STAGGERING
Never has such a brilliant, genius player, had so little of merit to say about the game. This guy is intellectually speaking, robbie savage with a nicer accent.
i got a feeling that robbie will never have michael owen on his podcast
He didn't score headers but apart from that he was brilliant.
Owen would be a good guest, maybe mcalister
TH Mentality!!!
Henry could read the back of a ceral box and make it sound interesting
Thierry, you are one of the greatest players I ever saw but I am Irish and still bitter about that hand ball :P moving on though. I think you have it wrong about the kids. You teach the kids, you don't let them spout their nonsense. Listen to them but they are idiots mostly. Weak society creates strong people and strong society creates weak people, and that is where we are.
Thierry did Irish football a huge favour---did we not get €5 million out of it towards the stadium. He did what every footballer would have done but it was the media who kept on about it, not players or real supporters.
Yeah and what has the aviva done for the team recently? We played better in the last 2 stadiums. Henry was always a world class player and done what he had to for his country but still never an excuse to cheat on the biggest stage and then act like an ignorant ass afterwards for ages until finally apologising
@@yessir6947 Aw, right, the apology solves everything.
Henry was one of my favs of all time great player
I don't think that people realise all the pressures on players to perform when a lot of things are going on in their personal life; grief, illness, divorce, addictions (gambling drinking gaming) etc ... please be kind.
There was no rivalry with Van Nistelrooy. That indicates there was any comparison
