00/01 - 3 away goals, 15 home goals
04/05 - 4 away goals, 22 home goals
From memory, he only scored once at Old Trafford. I can only remember him scoring once at WHL, but I might be forgetting a penalty goal.

Thatâs absolutely mental to me, I never realised back in the day, was it ever mentioned much? Because I donât remember it. Nowadays if someone doesnât score away from home much its mentioned every away game lol.

Coming across this picture often nowadays. Itâs turning into a meme I guess. Anyway, I love the vibe of it.

True. Have to agree, very strange. I find it hard to believe⌠like, I know the data is true, but I just canât attach that to Henry. Quite staggering.
I think the last 20 posts of this topic should be erased and @SpankyJoyJoy should be banned. And erased. The world shouldnât know about this.

Henry is still the #1 PL player of all time for me. He dominated for many seasons with multiple golden boots. Had creativity, ruthless finishing, unreal athleticism and a set piece specialist amongst many others. Only thing lacking was heading and that was more down to Arseneâs playing style than a deficiency in Thierryâs game.
Ronaldo peaked in Spain, Suarez wasnât here long enough, Shearer never won the leagueâŚAguero is the only one statistically who can compete but his overall game is nothing compared to the King. Nowhere near as individually brilliant. Salah is getting up there but he needs to do it for longer. Cantona, RvP and other forwards just donât quite reach Henryâs consistent, talismanic and statistical brilliance.
Kane has got crazy numbers but agree that this is an era where itâs easier to score as @Electrifying said above. Heâs also won nothing.
Thierry is the GOAT of the PL era.

Again, maybe a possible answer is that back then it was also much harder to score away.
Take no English team managing to win in the San siro or bernabeu records that did for a while, but now they happens more commonly
Most players SpankyJoyJoy posted played in the same era ;).

I know. 
Also that stat about Mbappe having scored the same amount of CL knock out goals as Henry already and heâs only 22. Football is so fucking watered down nowadays between the haves and the have nots. Back when Henry played there was more than like 3 good teams lol.

During Henryâs prime also we had less knockouts in which we got tossed in the 2nd group phrase a couple of times, so things like Henryâs hattrick at Roma donât count towards his tally.

Yeah for sure. In the 90s and 00s at some point or another you could point to about 10-12 teams as being good teams.
England: Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Leeds, Newcastle
Italy: Milan, Juventus, Inter, Lazio, Roma, Fiorentina, Parma, Sampdoria
Spain: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Deportivo, Atletico, Betis, Sevilla, Villarreal
Germany: Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, Wolfsburg, Stuttgart
You also had a sprinkling of good teams around Europe too. Monaco, Lyon, Dynamo Kiev, Ajax, Red Star, Porto, Sporting.
It was just a much deeper and more competitive Europe. European leagues were far less likely to have one dominant winner (Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga changed hands multiple times) and the era of the super club didnât become much more prominent until the latter stages of the 00s before becoming the overriding factor in Europe by the 10s.

Yes, in the 6-1 defeat. At Spurs, Pires was the one. Scored in about 5 straight seasons there. Even Paddy scored more often there than Henry (in 00/01, 03/04, 04/05). I think Henry only scored there once in 04/05.
Henry has scored at Old Trafford, Anfield, WHL, Stamford Bridge, Elland Road, the Bernabeu, Stadio Olimpico and the San Siro. Shocks me when critics say he wasnât a big game player.

Have to mention Martin OâNeillâs Celtic who pushed mourinhos Porto to the brink in the UEFA cup final.
Auxerre were a good side then, Copenhagen, Rosenborg, Weeder Bremen. All the Moscows
Dumb kids genuinely think itâs all nostalgia when we say football was miles better back then.

First set of replies are people asking why Giggs isnât the first one seeing as he has won the most PL titles. Hopefully theyâre taking the p.

Nah people like him got to much money for that to happen, will probably end up settling out of court and getting some kind of minor community service or fine.
I have a theory that in the future, the PL will become the premier football competition like the NBA and NFL are, and things like the CL will become like the FIBA intercontinental cup, while the other leagues diminish in importance as the money begins to run out.
I think thatâs what the Spanish and Italian teams fear which is why they went for the ESL.
Itâs a bit mad, but we arenât far off this trajectory imo.
