Football star Thierry Henry quits professional soccer

French soccer star Thierry Henry has announced his retirement from professional football after 20 years of playing for top clubs like Barcelona, Arsenal & France. He announced this on his Facebook page and said he will be returning to London to join Sky Sports as a football expert and ambassador.
“After 20 years in the game I have decided to retire from professional football. It has been an incredible journey and I would like to thank all the fans, team mates and individuals involved with AS Monaco, Juventus, Arsenal FC, FC Barcelona, the New York Red Bulls and of course the French national team that have made my time in the game so special. It is now time for a different career path and I am pleased to say that I will be returning to London and joining Sky Sports. I will hopefully share some of the insights, observations and experiences I have learnt over the years with you guys. I have had some amazing memories (mostly good!) and a wonderful experience. I hope you have enjoyed watching as much as I have enjoyed taking part.”

Henry remains France’s all-time top scorer with 51 goals from 123 appearances. During his time at Arsenal, he became one of the most feared strikers in the world, leading the team to two Premier League titles and three FA Cups. The multi-award winning Henry joined Barcelona and over four seasons there, he won two La Liga titles, a Copa Del Rey, the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA World Club Cup.

Dear Linda, ur giveaway is for LIB readers as u said, not LIB commenters only, I've been a reader of ur blog for years now, and yes I comment most of the time but with anonymous, and when the giveaways started i also commented with my email, sadly I wasn't picked, and now you came with the blackberry passport giveaway, I've been refreshing this page, so as to comment when it comes up today, u posted it at the 11:59 and at 12noon I saw it and just as I was about to paste my short note on what I had already written down since last night about why I love blackberry, my phone died, ran to put on the gen and power my phone and just in 10 mins there were already over 500 comments but that's not the issue, the issue here is that you've changed into giving only those that comment with their name, what about those of us who read and also comment with anonymous? Don't we stand a chance? Did u notice how comments on every story has reduced since on friday that the giveaway ended? If u didn't I did. May God bless you richly also for the giveaways.

This is why I like blackberry phones check out BB10, I like it because;
True multitasking
Easier navigation between running programs
Easier management of running programmes
Expandable memory
Tim-shifting camera
Constant ability to monitor incoming massages
SERIOUSlY cool keyboard
That keyboard goes somewhat "predictive"
.
First of, the keys are much wider than those on iOS, particularly in portrait mode. much easier to type on, even without the new features. Second, the prediction scheme is apparently more adaptive, and pays more attention to the way you write as an individual. Third, the ability to "flick" words into the output is frankly brilliant, and I can confirm it's a game-changer. It's an honest productivity-booster. micheal4rig@gmail.com

With BB, u can download whatever u wish be it music, video, etc from the next with ease. It also has a large inbuilt memory that u may not need a memory card. BB is simply the best.

Wwwaaaoooo...

Love or Trust, Trust is much more important than Love. If someone loves me, it is more of that person’s business than mine.  But if the same person trusts me, it places a duty on me to live up to that trust. In other words, Trust challenges one to reciprocate; Love might not always do that.....what's that ISSUE that gives you sleepless night in your relationship? Its time you talk to someone.

Rumor has it that he is being primed to take over from Wenger. Read that ex Gunner Gilberto has being offered a coaching role at the club. Changing tides for Wenger!
