Once again a very big English match was available in France last night...for FREE. I checked this out with our own channels here and this match was only available to see here in the UK if you have a paid subscripition to ESPN. Through a freak or fluke Im able to see many French channels.
Thierry Henry made a dream return to Arsenal. It was pure Roy of the Rovers stuff, where the older hero, recalled from the football graveyard, comes on as a substitute and scores the winning goal in the Cup Match.
We used to read stuff like that in Boys Own, but glorious heroics took place last night again only this time it was for real. Here is a pic of the man himself after scoring the winner... unbelievable joy on the faces of the fans. And him being French...France 4 TV loved it as you can imagine.
If you wrote a script like this nowadays nobody would believe it. Once again the British public are fleeced for our sport on TV.
