The Worst Interview... Ever!
It's making the rounds on the net. Thierry Henry deflects two raving morons from the NYC Fox affiliate. Seriously, Cheri Oteri and Will Ferrel couldn't have done worse.
We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Oh. My. Lord. That is bad. "You've just won the World Cup." Uh - well 12 bloody years ago, if that "just" to you.
Thanks for the post, Gooner.
I also love that they keep on running the "Hand of Gaul" in the background. I'm sure there wasn't a monitor for him to watch or he would have walked.
Speaking of which, I believe this is the first opportunity since Paris for TH and Robbie Keane to have met on the pitch. Keano to stick one on, then?
Alright what in the Wide World of Sports is going on! Where's the match. I've switched on FSC and they're playing the "500 Greatest Goals" bollocks. Is it on their new superpay-per-view channel?
Okay, don't panic, Blue Devil. It's on at 8:30. I thought 8 pm - did they switch it back?
Here we go with the coverage, then. Bring on TH-14!
Thierry is all smiles as the teams line-up. He's apparently forgotten that earlier interview with the two numpties then.
Keano up front alone tonight with Jenas, Modric and Fatty Huddlestone in support.
Here we go, then. Spurs up at em from the start.
Jenas hits a low, raking drive that Coundoiul collects.
Quick break from Spurs ends with Modric finding Keane in the box. Deflected out for the corner.
It seems as if we've got some local yokel commentary staff on the broadcast tonight, similar to the NESN bozos on the Celtic match from Fenway last night.
Some boos for Henry's first touch, no doubt from the Irish contingent in the crowd.
Oh - TH is nearly in there for his opening goal for the Red Balls.
Henry should've scored there. Hit the keeper when a little chip would have hit the net.
TH is in again and nearly finds a teammate with a little chipped cross. Cudicini did well to collect.
Why isn't Angel playing tonight? That's the striking partnership I'd like to see. They should be able to light it up in this scrub league.
Oh - lovely turn from Henry there and he rifles one just wide. Great roar went up there with the turn.
Oh - the Red Bulls again spurn a great chance there. First Stamler and then Sondje missed easy chances.
The Red Bulls aren't looking half bad here. Spurs are being outplayed after their initial bright start.
Jenas goes down under some pressure there. Nice flick over the head and then brought down. Free kick....
Bale rifles one into the wall and out for a corner.
Hey Bob,
I don't know if I can watch this... I cringed after 10 seconds!!
I have just got home from class and Tom and I have the footer on.
The crowd sounds good
Evening, mate. How are you?
Are the Red Bulls doing well this season?
Yeah - second in the Eastern conference. Angel is the leading scorer in MLS with nine goals.
Cudicini is in the net again
Is Gomes hurt?
Not sure. Maybe they just wanted to give Cudi a few matches.
Why didn't Kranjcar hit that one when it came out?
The match has not been that bad. It's only the commentary that cringe-worthy IMHO. Maybe you can mute it.
Goal!
TH with his opener !!!!
I still hate his celebrations!
GOAL! And of course it's that man TH-14! Lovely moment. Stamler knocks a dangerous ball in and TH just re-directs it into the corner. Easy.
1-0!
No, the interview!!!
I'm surprised that the Gooner isn't around for this one but maybe he's watching it upstairs.
Spurs should have done better there
BTW, the bloody graphic for every replay is REALLY bugging me!
Oh yeah - the interview is horrible. The two idiots didn't even know that the MLS season had already started! They kept asking him when he was going to start playing?!
Again, after ten seconds I had to look away!
Points system for this little tourney
3 for win
1 for draw
1 for each goal
When are you going to be going to the Reunion?
Yeah - that graphic is a bit irritating.
I'm heading out to the Reunion Saturday, August 7. Staying one night in the hotel and then back the next day.
I may be home for a pit stop.... let me know
Ta - that sounds really good.
IT'S NOT THE SPURS!!!!
Better than THE HOTSPURS!
Not much better
The reunion weekend is the Community Shield weekend.... is it the opening of the lower divisions?
Spurs are scoreless in a game and half so far
Far from Appy Arry
Modric and TH switch shirts!
Both not playing in the second?
Check out this clip of American commentary. It's hilarious.

What is it? It wasn't real
TH isn't on for the second half
Liverpool play Rabotnicki in the Europa League 3rd Q round
They have to play on July 29th and August 5
A LONG SEASON!!
Not much happening so far in this half.
I am going to be in and out for a bit
I'm still around - I was on the phone for a bit. Sorry. Bit boring at the moment.
Well - I suppose that TH did the job he was paid for. He's not fully fit.
GOAL! Keano gets his revenge. And the few Spurs fans in the crowd are happy. Easy chance in the end. Flick on from the corner and Keano at the backpost for an easy volley
1-1!
I missed the goal!
GOAL! Oh dear - the Red Balls have pressed the self-destruct button and Bale rushes in to grab the second. I don't know why Keane is claiming it - he wasn't close.
2-1 Spurs.
Spurs take the lead11
A mistake in the back but Bale finishes well.... I wish he was on United!
Is Keane trying to claim it... no
There seems to be a load of sand on this pitch. Every time someone strikes a ball a lot of sand comes up. Why?
Do you really need another left back?
Did the commentator just refer to "Christian Bale?" Isn't he the Batman?
Oh - nice move from the Red Balls ends with a decent curling effort from Richards.
Oh - now Chinn is denied by the cross bar. Red Balls have suddenly come to life.
I think the color guy is trying to say "The Spurs" as often as possible just to piss you off, mate.
I am still here
I am watching some Crossbar Challenges with Tom on youtube.
Pretty entertaining
He has succeeded!!
Oh - Bale had a chance to feed Keane but his ball through was rubbish.
What's the best Crossbar Challenge?
So when do "The United" play next?
I'm watching the Leeds Crossbar Challenge. 08/09 edition. Not bad.
Wolves hit four or five!!
CHelsea stunk!
Watching the Arse now
Game over
More games in this tourney to come
United play on FSC on Sunday at 6ish
TTFN
UWS
Andy Hughes hit on in the 08/09 one.
Cheers, mate!
