Hello, Hello, Hello. Thierry Henry has retired from playing out favorite sport. Long Live The King, as they say. He certainly brought a lot of joy to several SSN Staff over the years. Here are some facts and remembrances...
Amy Lawrence: Thierry Henry: The football fan who fulfilled his dreams
So, Thierry Henry got all. We all get old. Even DaMarcus Beasley gets old. The Editor had the pleasure of taking in The Kid's first professional soccer game for the Chicago Fire back in 1974. And...he's decided to terminated his tenure with the National Team. We love you, Kid! Keep playing in MLS until you're 45, please.
What the hell happened in La Liga this weekend? At least Five Things, you can be sure of that!
Capital One Cup, people! The Final Eight! Derby County vs. Chelsea! Sheffield United vs. Southampton! There is also midweek action in the Bundesliga. Kirsten tells us what to watch here.
Where? Spain. Who? Sid Lowe. What? Spanish football has become fragmented and flat.
Where? France. Who? Julien Laurens. What? Where does Thierry Henry's legacy fit into the pantheon of French football?
Where? Italy. Who? Paolo Bandini. What? Juventus’s bestia nera returns to haunt them as Sampdoria seal a draw.
Where? Italy. Who? James Horncastle. What? Jeremy Menez is finally fulfilling his potential at new club AC Milan.

Podcast! This week...AC Jimbo is joined by Barry Glendenning, Raphael Honigstein and Barney Ronay to round up the weekend's football action.

Plus there's your posts, World's Strongest Man chat and Barney's strange hotel experience in Ukraine.
