Why's this not in the other football thread? Feck all to do with Villa, thank God! Henry can disappear up his own arse or up the exhaust of one of those poncey cars he drives on the telly.
It's concerning that the owner (well one of them, at least) seemed so sold on him.Like a love sick puppy. Might work out best for us in the long run, but still concerning that they offered the job to two blokes who didn't even want it before eventually offering to someone who'd never say no in a million years. If TH and the other lad were their first choice, do the groundwork to make sure that when the offer officially goes in the answer is a formality.
Maybe Bad English can answer, but why is his name pronounced "Tee-air-ee On-ree"? I thought the last letter in French words was usually silent so it should be pronounced "Tee-air On-rrr"?This has been troubling me for much of the afternoon.

Is it just lack of practice?
Y can be a vowel in English too. That's why we pronounce his name in English "fuck off Henry and you too Halsey you pair of cheating twats".
He may work out in the end as his current team were shit before he got there
