What I don't get is why they were in a hotel in the first place - it's not as if it's a long trip from their homes to West Ham!

Actually, I've worked it out.

Chef de Groot has been on holiday - obviously he was there, therefore it wasn't tampering it was just his distinct style of cooking...

nice end for highbury, one of the greatest players in the clubs history scores a vital hat trick to fire them into 4th spot, fitting end to one of the last true traditional graet grounds.

really takes the pressure off arsenal going into the champions league final, the result could be crucial to his staying, but even if he does go now, getting arsenal 4th is very important, had he left with arsenal in the UEFA cup and thus a lot less money that really could have been an awful situation, but then again hopefully..he wont leave at all.

Still 'nowhere near top drawer' (or words to that effect) as you yourself admitted - you don't seem to grasp the concept that it doesn't matter how much he fills his boots against crap sides it doesn't remotely disprove what I've said about him. He's the football equivalent of a Hick or Ramprakash - are you going to start banging on about their FC records?

in fairness ramps probably could have done a lot better at international level given a longer run, imo anyway, but thats not really relevant.

Correct me if im mistaken, but Henry's record for france is hardly poor is it?

It's on a par with Henke Larsson. (One goal every 2.5 games).

Whether that's bad or good depends on whether you like Henry or not.

Shearer managed to score about the same every season in his pomp and his international record was 63/30 - Henry's record is - 76/31 - Not much difference between Henry and the best Premiership forward.

(For the record Henry's European games record is 88/48 a goal every 1.83 games - Scaly...you're just wrong)

The difference would be 5 goals if Shearer had played the same number (also Shearer was a bit of late bloomer as far as internationals went). Imagine that adding 5 runs onto a somebody's batting average in Test cricket... bit of a difference then isn't it?

International games have the occasional low quality teams, European games have a lot more low quality teams, so again an indiscriminate statistic which has lots of easy games thrown in doesn't disprove anything as I've said before - the same would go with internationals except his record is already relatively poor given the circumstances and so I don't really need to bother sifting out the 5th/6th pot type sides (the teams that are in the 5th or 6th pot based on rankings etc. when the draw is done - the really rubbish teams) which would probably only make up around a dozen games anyway.

He's five goals short of Shearer who is the best England forward (with a finished career) since Lineker. If you found out how many assists Henry has made i bet it's far higher than Shearer too. And as the more games are player you're more likely to have a worse record as every game you don't score in does more harm to your overall average.

And of course Henry hasn't got that either has he?

The fact that he started out as a winger (or substitute) for France wouldn't at all adversely affect a strike rate would it?

very good season for Man U and overall (except the Champions league disappointment) one-of the better years of the premiership i've seen in my 6 years following football i guess. Chelsea dominance has been good for the game & the rise of Tottenham & Blackburn has good for English football.

Chelsea's will go into next season as favourites to make it 3 in a row but the Buccs, the gunners & the reds have enough talent in them to upset the blues next season.

Also i hope next season top English clubs continue to do well in Europe..

You think a trophyless season is a very good season? fair enough 8-)

You'll probably be on your own when it comes to saying Chelsea dominance as been good for the game too 8-)

Although i'm agreed about Tottenham & Blackburn. And to an extent i'd add Middlesborough for their European exploits and Wigan for their ability to stay up comfortably without needing to spend loads (by Premiership standards) to that list.
