    Probably complaining because he doesnt perform any other role for the team, but he always manages to score, the classic England striker.

      Yeah, I see to recall that was Alan Shearer's role back when he played international football .

        Apart from that Russian team the league is shaping up to be quite fun.

        Lots of good teams are having a terrible time of it and Wigan are the story of the season.

        And thank God Newcastle bought Emre.

          If you look what he's won and his goal scoring record, he's still had one hell of a career.
          2 League Cups, an FA cup and a UEFA cup? And he wasn't even really a first choice in that 2001 season where 3 of those trophys came in.

          I think he's had a very disappointing career considering his talent. But then he was at Liverpool not a top side.

            99.99% of professional footballers would be happy to end their careers with those honours.

            I agree though, it was a shame his era was when we were winning UEFA cups rather than European Cups and Champions Leagues. Cruel fate! If he was only a bit older or a bit younger......

                  Yeah, back then I'd imagine him having a career to the tune Henry or Raul have been having. One of the big names of international football.

                    Looks like its Liverpool and Real Betis going through from that group. Chelsea can see if they're good enough to win the UEFA Cup soon enough...;O)

                    Colon,
                    In terms of trophies won, Henrys club career isn't that great. No Euro honours. Not that much better than Fowlers IMHO.

                      • Looks like Liverpool is gearing up for more surprises in the CL. Too bad for my country though.

                        Henry did have a quite a number of international appearances, scoring many goals. He's world-renowned which isn't the case with Fowler.

                            I was wondering about that. Are Anderlecht typical of the standard of Belgian football? If they are then that's not good at all.

                            • Mike, Colon.

                              The key phrase in my post that you both seem intent on ignoring is "club career"

                              • 2 Premierships and 3 FA cups is still way better than Fowler's record. Especially the Premierships...

                                Anyway, both scored a lot of goals. Henry is a global star, and one of the best players in the world where Fowler was just a very good striker.
