Thierry Henry leaves Sky

Henry has left Sky to concentrate on a managerial career. Obviously got the taste with Belgium.

I for one am not sorry. As much as he is an absolute legend to me, I thought he was a poor pundit and found his style of talking, with constant long dramatic pauses, annoying. His punditry never really carried much substance for me. Not in the same league as Neville or even Carra.

I think it’s right that he move away from the TV and back into football full time.

He'll be massively missed for me with his punditry, you/we are spoil, but what you have to think about is how many terrible ones are out, Thierry is in the top 5% of pundits. Glen Hoddle for instance makes me want to commit seppuku.

Good, he's a terrible pundit.

Converge · 16 Jul 2018 at 21:14

Wonder who will replace him?

robfosters · 16 Jul 2018 at 21:34

Hoddle I hope. Just to annoy Doogles

They'll probably get a woman..

I’m glad he’s leaving as well, wasn’t the worst pundit out there but definitely not a patch on Neville and Carra.

They can always go for Micheal Owen to replace him

I thought she was pretty good on the BBC.

Not too bothered, I thought he was average.

Wouldn't mind seeing Bilic - always found he offered an interesting and insightful perspective.

Ace Modder · 17 Jul 2018 at 10:45

get one of the World Cup female fans who the camera men focused on.

C'mon, good enough for them, good enough for Sky Sports.

Bubo · 17 Jul 2018 at 11:24

Anyone as long as it's not John Terry.

Get Aluko in. Was decent at the World Cup and would annoy the bigots.

God no.

Only if we could get Evra in as well to patronise her some more. That was comedy gold.

They might as well just wait a few weeks until Stevie G gets the boot from Rangers, then bring him in. However, that would mean having to endure two scousers.
