Opinion is split about Thierry Henry's Sky Sports debut

18 January 2015 13:46

Thierry Henry was making his debut as a regular Sky Sports pundit today. If you were unaware of this, you probably haven’t watched Sky Sports in a couple of months, because they haven’t exactly been shy about telling us about it.

His debut was a Super Sunday double of West Ham v Hull and Henry’s old team Arsenal heading to Manchester City. Reaction to this momentous occasion was largely divided into two camps.

The first camp could be broadly described as hella excited – including these people.

The other camp comprised people who were sick to death of Henry before he’d even made it in front of a camera.

And there were roughly seven million versions of this tweet…

We think we even spotted a hint of sarcasm in Jamie Carragher’s tweet…

Henry’s fellow studio pundit for the day was Graeme Souness, who seemed to feel he needed to up his game. Discussing Henry’s former team Arsenal, he came up with this…

With all the Arsenal chat, it was easy to forget there was another match first.

And some of the Hull fans felt Souness and Henry’s praise of Tom Huddlestone was wide of the mark.

Nevertheless, by and large it was a promising start from the former Barcelona star.
