Yeah, and good for him, sweet, sweet revenge. Good job Henry, give’em a taste of their own.

SF Gooner - June 28th, 2006 at 11:46 am

It was a foul, Henry did ,make a meal of it and so what. The guys hardly ever done anything wrong. In the end the Spanish still had a chance to clear it and they didn’t. Fuck em.

I’m a Chelsea fan and even I can’t see the big deal over this (though being an avid observer of Arsenal’s hypocrisy). Puyol was a nasty cunt to Henry in the Champions League Final, and I would have been a very happy man to see Henry get some revenge on him, it would have been so fitting to see Puyol’s own cheating in the final turned back on him.

It’s a shame he had to clutch his face. It was a clear foul and a reasonable yellow but he didn’t need to do that. Being honest for eight years doesn’t make much difference, the incident at the World Cup is all that people will remember.

He’s still one of the most honest players in the league, but I can’t say he doesn’t cheat at all now.

I’m an Arsenal fan and it’s disgraceful. I lost a bit of respect for Henry seeing that. All governing bodies of football should be able to go back to video and hand out deserved punishment, after the fact. It would prevent this sort of thing in the long run.

I shall certainly do anything within my power to stop Henry receiving any punisment related to this matter..Thierry son dont worry uncle David will fix it for you…what do you mean it is not Arsenal? and i have got FA to do with the FA?

Chris - June 28th, 2006 at 12:58 pm

I agree that Henry was foolish to grab his face after that challenge. That kind of thing doesn’t belong in football, and Titi for one should have known better. Still, it was a clear foul and the free kick was rightfully awarded. Get over it.

Redtop - June 28th, 2006 at 1:24 pm

Its ridiculous for people to start having ago at henry because the fault lays firmly with the refs. Henry has always been an honest player & its cost him many times over (there are a lot of other honest players also that have been cheated by refs). Henry’s attitude towards cheating has probably changed considerable after the champions league final & he realises there is no benefit in being honest any longer. When a player tries to stay on his feet in the penalty area after a clumsy challenge the ref will give nothing whereas a player that falls over a perfectly legitimate challenge will get a penalty so what is the point in being honest??

Mikey - June 28th, 2006 at 1:55 pm

Yaaaaawn!! Get off those high horses, please. Did Puyol bundle him to the ground or not? I dont remember Henry claiming he was a saint at any time in the past, so like any pro does in these extremely cynical times, he tries to milk it for all its worth!
Dont blame Henry, blame the near-complete collapse of honour and integrity in football (and indeed life at large)as we know it today.

Henry most definitely said he did not ‘go down like a woman’.

He’s right, he went down like a hypocritical cheat.

Me - June 28th, 2006 at 2:57 pm

Everyone knows Henry is a hypocrite, and one of the worst sportsmen in the game. Hardly a surprise, is it?

I Hate Divers - June 28th, 2006 at 4:14 pm

what ever happened to the good old shoulder barge? in my opinion thats exactly what that was. Theres been so much diving and cheating in this world cup its getting boring. perfect example was that italian player against the Aussies and pretty much every dutch player.

ian7 - June 28th, 2006 at 4:23 pm

Stop saying henry cheated. HE WAS FOULED but made the most of it. HE DIDNT CHEAT because Puyol did just block his path on purpose. CHEATING is when you are not even touched and try to con the ref, like what Robben has been doing. Henry wanted the ref to know he was fouled-WHICH HE WAS. Sad, but NOT CHEATING!!

twistiebob - June 28th, 2006 at 4:45 pm

If the foul was a foul then a free kick is awarderd. It was, so it was. Yes, he milked it – welcome to the world cup. Explain it to socceroo fans who don’t understand why a cheating diving Italian actress cost them a place in the last eight (along with ANOTHER naff ref)

Terry Henry - June 28th, 2006 at 5:04 pm

Yes itz true, I am a women. I like to dive, I like boys, little ones.

Henry's a cunt - June 28th, 2006 at 5:17 pm

Andrew - June 28th, 2006 at 5:41 pm

Good job henry,u got back at him right now screw urself carles,and do the same thing at the brazil match…

Chris - June 28th, 2006 at 6:56 pm

‘I do not fall to the floor because I am not a woman’

Sorry whats that Thierry?

dog bastard puyol - June 28th, 2006 at 7:33 pm

i love u henry ,whether u dive or not muaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

shevver - June 28th, 2006 at 8:17 pm

He was fouled. He went to the floor. Whatever happened afterwards is immaterial. Puyol is a shit, Henry is a fair player, yet even the “faires” players engage in a bit of unsavoury business now and again (Rooney’s old trafford dive in 04/05 comes to mind)…

DisgustingHenry - June 28th, 2006 at 9:30 pm

Absolutely sickening what a f—— hypocrite this guy is. And for days trying to play the victim of a racial slur which only existed in the minds of the ignorant, sensationalist, neo-fascist British tabloids. Well now we’ve seen your true colors you disgusting excuse for a human being. I’ll continue to laugh though as you continue to sh*t yourself any time the pressure is on, eternal loser.

LOHTW - June 28th, 2006 at 11:12 pm

A clear foul by Puyol… dun think Henry is going to take it down again after the Champ’s League. Wasn’t Henry unfairly booked in the Champ’s League?

er.. - June 29th, 2006 at 2:30 am

erm, any chance of a video that does show the 2 players heads? since that is the part under dispute?

I with the henry fakers BUT looking closely at the heads (hidden under the espn crap at the top) they appear to clash with henrys whipped back??!!

A load of sanctimonious nonsense. This thread is more about sad gits having the opportunity to air their prejudices about Henry (if it wasn’t him it would be some one else you either love or hate, being targetted). What does it matter waht you think of him or anyone else? Just keep it to yourselves for fuck sake.

Barca 2 – 1 Cheating Woolleys

Ashwin - June 29th, 2006 at 6:57 am

I am a big fan of Henry..Puyol and Barca shld know why they won the Cha,pions League..R Spain Hurt..Iam happy..Arsenal were also hurt when decisions did not go thr way.. Henry is respected by all…Those who dont like him are anti arsenal..Sweet revenge by Henry..It was anyway a foul..So what if he acted..

kushal - June 29th, 2006 at 12:23 pm

Well,Henry did fake it.But hey,such things are prevalent almost everywhere.This is all nonsense.What if Ronaldinho had dived.Then nothing would have been said about it.Why?Because he’s the best player in the world.Ok.What about Horseface(RVN),Robben,Ronaldo(both those cunts),Ballack,Shevchenko,Adriano,Rooney and the countless other fakers.What the fuck happens to those incidents.Thierry was robbed of CL success,because of some stupid challenges by that hairy bastard,Puyol.Henry shouldn’t have done that,but hey,who wouldn’t have done that when a hideous cunty fucking bastard like Puyol comes in your way.Puyol can take that as a lesson,the cunt.Henry rightfully took revenge.I agree it totally is against the rules of football,and offcourse i hate it.But it was completely right under the circumstances.Sometimes,it all happens so fast,that you dont realise what you are doing,and thats what happened to Henry.He surely didn’t want to do it,but he has been a victim of such incidents in the CL final.Ever seen that fucking twat Van Bommel dive???He’s probably the worst diver ever.And it surely was a yellow card.So the free kick was rightfully given,and the goal was scored.Nothing wrong in that.Its all bullshit.WHoever posted this shit,surely is a sp*rs fan.

Jessica - June 29th, 2006 at 12:32 pm

I think it was totally wrong.Henry shouldn’t have dived like that.But Spain deserved it.Their fans have no respect for France’s national anthem,and some of them are racist idiots,who need to be punished.Aragones racially abused Henry,and he’s paid for it.But Henry should have done better.It wasn’t really controversial,as the yellow card and the free-kick were obviously to be given.I certainly don’t expect this from Henry,as he is probably the most decent soccer player I’ve ever seen.He’s got all the skill,and he’s a gentleman.Sad to see him doing this,but im sure he’ll come back with a vengeance,and will kill off all those who doubt his integrity.COME ON THIERRY,I WANT TO SEE YOU KICK SOME BRAZILLIAN ASS.

True Fan who hates all this cheating in the game today - June 29th, 2006 at 1:14 pm

i like the way everyone is saying well puyol cheated in the champions league final?? shows what a professional Henry is if he has to drop to his standards. wasn’t even a foul, let alone a yellow card. I like what he said today, if you feel pain you hold your face….. thats never happened to me before. Anyway France won’t beat brazil.

Whitey - June 30th, 2006 at 7:56 am

He’s a diving scummer. Infact they both are!!

CM - July 7th, 2006 at 3:38 pm

Im not sure if their heads collide, but that Puyol’s disgusting long hair certainly whips Henry in his right eye, and thats what he was clutchin. catching that dirty greasy heavy hair in your eye hurts n stings like a bitch.

henry was really mean

anonymous - November 19th, 2009 at 3:55 am

No foul…is this the women’s world cup?
