they look like two balerina girls preparing for their tap dance routine
July 23rd, 2007 @ 18:20Is this why Henry left his wife?
July 23rd, 2007 @ 18:27yeah they look like they about to kiss,but Ronaldinho teeth are in the way
July 23rd, 2007 @ 18:46Does Ronaldinho know any English? How much Spanish has Henry learnt yet? Just wondering how these 2 giants of football converse with each other. Probably keep grining & showing off their respective football skills to one another!
July 23rd, 2007 @ 20:01Oh the lovely Catalan dance binds all in happy Catalan happiness

Ronaldinho has lived and played in France for many years so I’m assuming that they are speaking French.
I guess Ronnie is the new joy in his life, since his wife left him.
July 23rd, 2007 @ 21:41Fair enough. Not that i’m a gossip hound but didn’t Henry leave his wife instead of the other way round? Some crap about him not wanting to be near anything English.
These two do have a history of respecting each other immmensely though. I guess it was about time they played for the same side.
July 23rd, 2007 @ 21:49Spizzy, you are the best!

July 24th, 2007 @ 00:00Now i know the real reason Henry moved to Barcelona…… he must be really happy there…..
July 24th, 2007 @ 06:51That was teh first thing on me mind Karl
Now u Know Why henry Left his wifey

Henry did make some comments about Ronaldinho which weren’t so respectful. One of them was about Ronaldinho smiling all the time, Henry said something like “Why would walk around and smile on the pitch? I’m angry when i play” or something like that.
He also called the Barcelona team a bunch of cheats and accused them of diving like a women.
July 24th, 2007 @ 16:13Redondo:
I’d like to see the references for those comments if you please. From what i’ve seen & heard these guys have nothing but respect for one another & i find it hard to believe Henry being accepted into Camp Nou having made those comments in the past.
You wouldn’t happen to be quaking in your boots at the prospect of Barca’s attacking line-up next season, would you? I sense the Madrid Psychological Operations Machine at work here
July 24th, 2007 @ 16:21By the way, if you’re attributing any of the comments he might made about Barca players to the CL final post-match comments he made last year, they were taken out of context. What he really said was that the only reason Barca won was because of Henrik Larsson & that Eto’o & Ronaldinho were ineffective in that game for the most part. He was also pissed at Puyol for his physical game compounded by the fact that they were down to 10 men. He got his own back in the WC’06 though at the expense of Spain & Brazil which i cannot help but being amused at.
July 24th, 2007 @ 16:25Ronaldinho used to play in France before he joined Barca. I’ll bet he knows a enough French to get by. Can’t wait to see the two legends pairing up togeather.
July 24th, 2007 @ 17:05I think the Ugly stare of Ronaldinho is making Henry a bit nervous!
July 24th, 2007 @ 18:24with those teeth, ronald could chew an apple through a tennis racket!!

Henry said: “Maybe next time I’ll learn to dive, but I’m not a woman, so I want to stay on my feet.

I cant seem to find the one where talks about being angry on the pitch with the Ronaldinho reference, but its out there. He has said something about them.
The Madrid Psychological Operations Machine at work? .. Please, why you would think i need to make things up to sway a person i have never met is beyond me.
I’m not particularly worried about Barcelona, we meet each other twice a year and if we play good and win our matches then the league is ours. Nothing more to it then that.
Besides, if Barcelona play all 4(Ronaldinho, Eto’o, Messi and Henry) then no team with Counter-attack capabilities should ever have to worry.
If Barcelona play with the 4 of them together in a team, they will become predictable. All team playing against team will reinforce their defense and will be able to invade their midfield. Out of all these 4 players, none of them can go and fight for a ball in the midfield. Barca might use two defensive midfielders and their attacking strategy will be hurt because the forwards will be cut from the defense. It’s pretty much what our problem was for most of last season.
…..Eto’o………Henry…..
R9………………………..Messi.
….Iniesta……..Toure…………
Thats a pretty thin midfield. I doubt Iniesta and Toure can hold a midfield when against a proper team.
July 25th, 2007 @ 01:27Redondo:
Are you serious? Those 4 players are talented enough to finish any team in the 1st half. Yeah……. counter attack can be a problem but Barca shouldnt worry about it if they score goals and with that offensive power I doubt they can be stopped.
in the pic they’re just laughing and probably saying….
July 25th, 2007 @ 07:05“I know the others are watching and talking garbage because with the additions to the team they know we gonna destroy ANY competition”
commeon stop hating R10 and talking about his teeth its not like he chose to be born that way,more like being handicaped.Anyway i sense a lot of pretence here,lets wait and see how well they will cope when things dont go their way.one thing is for sure Henry has a temper and is not very torrerant.R10 on the other hand has a very big ego which in my personal opinion is not very healthy.
July 25th, 2007 @ 14:37Ron has a big ego? Does he, the only thing i can think of is in a FourFourTwo it had an article on the best players in the last 10 years in Ronaldinho’s eyes, He put himeslef no.4 and said about himself..”What can I say about myself, Just watch me!”
Also, Every Good player has a big ego, if theres no ego or confidence theres no great player
July 25th, 2007 @ 15:51Also,
Are they the new R10 Nike colourways, Red. White has been released a month or so ago, but im a fan of the black ones myself, the white dont go well with the design, The red ones are okay though!
July 25th, 2007 @ 15:53Why couldnt Henry have the nice new RbK’s at Arsenal, the ones he wore for us were shit!
July 25th, 2007 @ 15:58haha this pic is amazin
