I don't doubt that those recent comments about him by an unnamed player from the French national squad are accurate. But I tend to like difficult personalities (in England many players from other clubs always say Henry is a very nice guy off the pitch). My feelings about the guy aren't all rosy. He's petulant, arrogant, etc. - a big melonhead. :-) I love that insult. Still, I can't help it - I just love watching the guy and I like a lot of his public comments on various issues -- whether about football or other stuff.

Oh, if only it were that simple. My feelings about Henry are complex. I value his skills and abilities, but that's all tangled up with the Trezeguet thing, and the "melon énorme" and "character of a pig" thing. And the 4-5-1 thing (since in general I have issues with essentially building all of a team's hopes around one player, which Domenech seems to have done.) And then you toss in a French YouTube video (that I'll see if I can find again) from maybe a couple of years ago about the Henry-Trezeguet friendship, and Trezeguet is so gushing and glowing about Henry, and Henry...isn't. But he does say something along the lines of, "David loves to score so much that I just give him the ball." Which is touching, except when you realize that at some point he stopped. I don't know. It's not that I dislike Henry. Maybe it's that I'd like to see him as more of a part of a team effort? “down on Henry…”

Boring football. And Sam Allardyce is not of my favorite human beings on the planet. Sorry to hear you're so down on Henry, Laurie -- ah well. Can't help, I love the old big melonhead.
