What a baller. Can you imaging him actually staying back then. Overmars leaving was fine, he was a permacrock and Pires was better for us anyways but Petit was just elite. Luckily we ended up getting Gilberto in the end after the world cup but Petit-Viera could have been so much better.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert Pepe and supposedly some underhand dealings in that transfer....
Though he got the Saliba deal over the line and that has worked out great.
JazzG I think once the Kroenke's took full control they were willing to put in the money.
It was both the having full control, and the fact that the club was sliding badly at that moment … certainly the investment has been about protecting their asset.
The big KSE incentive for keeping us around CL territory is the exit to some kind of entrenched "super league" and the step up in stock value from that … if we drop to the mid table for five years that falls into question.
Not that anyone needs a reminder but damn son, Henry was on another level.
TambourineMan Saw this today
I'm a simple man, post anything about Thierry, don't even care what it is, and I will automatically like it faster than he moved when he outpaced Hyppia and Carragher back in the day.
That one is beyond my narrow understanding of the world.
Burnwinter This Jersey is so good
Burnwinter wtf is that drawing though?
Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert Looks like Saturo Gojo, but can't be sure.
Wojciech Szczęsny in Foot Truck: - Where did I disappear before the penalty shootout against Wales? Official or unofficial version? I went to analyze the penalties in peace. And "in peace" means with some smoke"
What a fucking legend
Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert I have no idea (either left or right image). Just random meme stock I guess

One person sees "O2" and thinks, "oxygen," the other person sees "O2" and thinks, "Thierry Henry"
RowJimmy Ah yep, thanks, it was over my head

Some former players had a better day. Xhaka scored a screamer as he won the Bundesliga (cue the memes about players leaving Arsenal and winning leagues immediately etc) and even Maitland-Niles of all people scored the winner in the 16th(!) minute of injury time for Lyon.
Feel like Henry's found a niche being the motivational guru for these young players rather than being their manager.
Former youth player and bench warmer Omari Hutchinson seems to have had a decent season at Ipswich (think he's one Championship POTM a couple of times). Shame it didn't work out for him with us (not sure why we weren't able to send him out on loan).
Scored a couple of cracking goals yesterday for Ipswich.
Don Pacifico Ispwich supporters desperate for the club to be able to buy him. He's been brilliant for them, seems like fulfilling his promise
fuckin love this dude. dribbly mcnoscore.
