Thanks to Rory (ua-cam.com/channels/jz0jCqq6rclL06bSLuvQ6A.html) and Robbie (ua-cam.com/channels/ZDi95PJ6VmWtQAScA9Rh-w.html). Both absolute pleasures to work with.
@@krazzypunk98 yeah the Arsenal fans online give Arsenal fans who are actually reasonable a bad rep. I have a mate who’s an Arsenal fan who isn’t as radical
@@michaelcain721 aftv don’t represent all of us, but any sensible person can acknowledge that Henry is levels above drogba. Glad to say I’ve had the privilege to watch them both
He said this in another one (I think one of the manc teams), he's going to defend his club, & I think because he's more than just a fan, like Rory, because he's got the business, he's a figurehead, wearing the jersey, he (at least feels probably), that he has to defend his team on cam. I do wish he was a bit more objective & fight the points he could & conceded the ones he needed to, like the dd vs Henry q: Rory saying Henry wasn't good in big games was silly when you see a pl h/l package of his banners against lvpl & man u, scoring against spurs, at rm & juve, but you have to say dd was not a great goalscorer, but turned up when his team weren't doing it & dragged them over the line, that's why he said he lived the wording of the q. & You could also argue what's the point without emotion, we'd just be watching robots, that passion dies need to come out a little, just not take control over the situation
As a Chelsea fan, Henry is the greatest ever Premier League player. But Drogba was the man for the finals. Henry did score in a lot of big games. His record against the "big teams" was good. Plenty of goals against Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool, etc and many of them were beauties. But if it's strictly final, then Drogba. There's only one final Drogba DIDN'T score, against Man Utd when he hit the post and got sent off. He scored in every other final. 2 against Arsenal to turn the game around, two finals against Liverpool, Man Utd, Tottenham, Everton, Bayern, Portsmouth. Those are just the ones I remember. Chelsea won all but one of those (against Tottenham). You can't deny he was THE man for the finals no matter who you support.
@@hedykort9379 fair enough drogba scored in a lot of finals and was one of the best stiker of all time but he was not better then henry in anyother aspect and also scoring in finals drogba prolly has scored in more finals then messi does that mean anything?
@@zakquinlan1384 If you're talking about overall carrer then i'd say Christano has been better but if we're talking about best players only judging in the prem then the list is Henry,Alan Shearer,Salah,Gerrad/Lampard and Ronaldo
I think he felt being a figurehead with his work, wearing the shirt, he needed to stand up for his club, he said it in another one of these, one of the manc ones. So I don't think he truly believes everything he said here but maybe felt he had to fit the camera
@@kirilfilchev291 my guy really did say Gabriel is close to Rüdiger's level😂😂😂. Not winning the league close to two decades can do that to a club fanbase😂😂😂
All respect to Drogba but you can't even mention him in the same sentence as the great Henry! Forget this big game player narrative 🤦🏻♂️ you can get lucky against a big side and be shit and have no contributions other times
@@bobs2kk401 does that really matter that much if we're talking about individual players? jorginho won the champions league doesnt make him better than patrick vieira
Drogba was outrageous in big games always always stepped up you’d pick him over 99% of strikers to have in your team in a final for example. But Henry over the season was one of the best if not thee best player the prem has ever seen.
Yeap..overall after considering everything you would have to go with Henry although it's close bt in big games Drogba's in a whole other level on his own
True, the question was specifically who’s more of a big game player tho, so it has to be Drogba. Saying its Henry is just being ignorant, even though Henry was the better player
@@jimmyobrien2862 He doesn’t smash him, overall he was a better player but Drogba was world class as well. Drogba scored a goal every 169 minutes in the prem, compared to Henry’s 122 mins per goal. That isn’t a stark difference.
Drogba: 10 goals in 10 finals Henry: 0 goals in 10 finals Henry is the greatest Premier League striker of all time IMO, but I’m sorry, there is no debate about who the better big game player was
How can you be the best PL striker when you don’t show up in the big games. Aguero scored more goals than Henry and scored more against the "big six" than Dorgba as well as in finals and big games. Aguero is the best.
Key word here is “was”. Arsenal was the bigger club and now it is not. Recent success makes Chelsea the bigger club. Arsenal has never won a European Cup nor back to back Premier League titles. And yes the invincible lost 6 games that year across all competitions, not to mention drawing 12 games in the Premier League.
@@thewarlock539 bro..when you ask someone who is the biggest club in London which is referring to football... it's 80% referring to the success...then only comes the fan base and everything bt even so...there's no way that even in fanbase Arsenal are bigger than Chelsea now since the younger generations definitely support Chelsea more than Arsenal unless yr whole generation supports Arsenal...the question is who is and nt who were okay?
@@mpumelelobeyers957 The "biggest club" debate is so stupid because so many people define it in different ways. To say one club is just bigger means nothing, if you measure how big a club is financially its newcastle but if its about history it's liverpool or united. It only means what you want it to mean.
@@mpumelelobeyers957 That is how it's been for a long time now but gradually, slowly but surely, Chelsea are closing the gap on Arsenal. Obviously Chelsea are comfortably the 4th biggest club in England, I don't think anyone would argue with that.
@@jamesrobinson1918 It wouldn't be Newcastle either. That would be the owners worth not money sat the club accounts. Rightly or wrongly depending on your view FFP also limits how much can be thrown at said club. Your still correct though it's a stupid pointless question as they're so many definitions to what the 'big' in biggest means.
As a Chelsea fan, I’m so happy that Rory represents Chelsea in these sort of videos. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and is a class act. Speaks off facts and not off emotions. Disappointing to see how Robbie was in this segment, thought he was completely biased.
@@vaibhav.ojha2004 what why? Rory stated he thinks Chelsea are a bigger club now because they have been more consistent winning trophies over the last 20 years. As well as 2 champions league, Man City have been winning more certainly but haven’t got anywhere near Manchester United and haven’t even won a champions league yet. Chelsea and Arsenal are close certainly Man City are miles away
@@vaibhav.ojha2004 the Manchester rivalry and the London rivalry is not the same. The gap between the Manchester clubs is sooo much bigger than the gap between Chelsea and arsenal
I'm an Arsenal fan but Chelsea is hands down the bigger club in the last 15 years. It'd be a shame to defend Arsenal against that one. Loyalty is one thing but acceptance is equally important.
Why is everyone trying to twist the question, we all know Henry is levels above Drogba but when it comes to big games, it’s Drogba without a doubt, 10 goals in 10 finals and Henry had 0 goals in 9 finals
The only final he did not score was against United in CL 2008, but other than that, yeah if I could have any player I want in a one game match, my first pick would be Drogba.
@@civildiscourse7626 well it does🤣🤣especially being a striker, as a striker if you don’t score or at least get an assist in a game then you haven’t preformed in your position and Henry never did that in big games
@@billydewar1228 nope, Henry was part of the newer breed of strikers- as a former winger he could pass and terrorise defences with pace dribbling and creativity. He wasn’t a lineker or inxaghi…but I get your point.
As someone who watches a lot of Chelsea and Arsenal... The fact Robbie thinks Partey is being picked in a two man midfield with Jorginho, Kovacic and Kante around is fucking hilarious. Way off it. His opinion on Gabriel was funny but his opinion on Kovacic told EVERY Chelsea fan in that second that he doesn't watch enough of other teams. If you think Kovacic is replaceable at Chelsea, you simply don't watch enough.
Im glad that there are people out there who understand what Kova brings to the table, and i 100% agree with you, he doesn't watch chelsea nearly enough all to say such a thing... cheers
I genuinely think that Rory is straight up the most level headed fan on these shows, I enjoy listening to his thought process and the way that he's willing to work with the person "over the aisle" to discuss points.
@@mimshack7278 100% true. Henry has 0 goals in 9 finals. The only reason this is even a debate is because Arsenal fans are delusional or because they think admitting Drogba was better in big games is admitting Drogba was the better player, which it clearly isn't.
to be honest Robbie embarrasses me as an Arsenal fan by getting on these debates, yes you can argue that Arsenal is in fact the biggest club in London, but instead of going with points that make sense Robbie keeps repeating "oh Arsenal is biggest club because it's the biggest club", every time I get expression that Robbie doesn't believe in what he says, which was clear when he was debating about Invincibles being greater achievement than treble, he put the beer on agree, defended invincibles poorly and at the end he agreed that treble was better, mental
Jose 95 points team is better than the "12 draws" Invincibles. Peps 100 points team is better. Fergie 07-08 +Treble Team. In fact We knocked the "Invincibles" out of the Champions league that season.
Both are garbage, neither of them do anything. Kovscic is one of the of the most over rated players in the league. Doesn’t score, or assist, what does he do
Bruv. Kovaicic is one the best dribblers of the ball in the Chelsea team. You people are stupid, if you're not a Chelsea fan, don't comment on the Chelsea players. None of the Arsenal 11 would make it to the current Chelsea team.
People try to diminish Drogba’s career at Chelsea by painting him as an average player (in terms of productivity) but his numbers for us were very good in the Prem. I don’t think Lampard would’ve scored as many goals as he did if it wasn’t for Drogba doing what he does. He played 195 Prem games (in terms of minutes played) for us and contributed to 168 goals. Do the math, those are very good numbers. On top of that, he was a big game player.
Facts rival fan’s are just deluded and only look at numbers but then when we use stats against them they make out stats ain’t everything but that’s there only argument against drogba is that his stats weren’t as good as henry’s and shearer’s. Muppets
Henry played 236 premier league games (in terms of minutes played) and contributed to 258 goals, which is way better than what Drogba got (Henry 1.06 goals/assists per game - Drogba 0.86 goals/assists per game).
@@forzasheva7515 difference is, Drogba was not a ball carrier like Henry, Drogba was more of a target man opposite to Henry, Drogba dragged all 4 defenders, while Henry took on them all, both attributed the same type of productivity on different ways, however, Drogba helped Chelsea win bigger titles than Henry did to arsenal, I agree Henry was the better player, but Drogba can sit in the same table.
@@forzasheva7515 no one is saying that Henry is worse than drogba but that Drogba still doesnt get the respect he deserves. Henry obviously 1 of the greatest players in the prem ever if not the best
@@forzasheva7515 I never said that Drogba's stats were just as good as Henry's, I'm making the point that Drogba was much more prolific than people make out. 0.86 goals/assists per game are good numbers.
As a Tottenham fan , chelsea is bigger than arsenal now . Back in early 2000’s Arsenal was a powerhouse let’s not forget but Rory made a point it never lasts forever
Chelsea actually were a very decent side when they were bought they had won trophies for 6-7 years in a row and were consistently in the top 6 and were creeping into top 4. People act like they were relegation fodder when in reality they had some incredible players pre money. Honestly whenever I see these debates it seems the arsenal fans are always in denial because they can’t handle what they’ve become....
Few years ago, Kroenke and Usmanov combined net worth were about $25bn while Abramovich net worth could have been $12bn. Obviously the argument that Chelsea bought the titles is no longer valid but Abramovich bought the club for hobby while the Arsenal's owners were for business. Of course if Usmanov had a large stake of the club could have been different but we are yet to see that when he successfully purchases the Everton.
@St. Elmo thats just not true. i could name a dozen unbelievable players they had but if we are talking right before they were bought they had zola desailly terry lampard to name just a few they had a stacked team
As an American, right now I view Chelsea as the better club because of how much winning they've done lately, and they're definitely attracting a lot of American fans right now because of Pulisic.
The question is not better, it's bigger. Arsenal are an historical and global franchise with a long history of success. They are Duran Duran and Chelsea are Take That.
@@mediacenterman8583 We didn't really start getting EPL or champions league games here, consistently, on TV until the early 2000s. And since then, all we've seen is Chelsea being at or near the top. So historically while many American soccer fans are aware of Arsenal's historic greatness, the only thing we've actually experienced watching them is Henry and early 2000 success. But Chelsea seems to have always been good, while the EPL has been available to us. Just giving that perspective.
@@mediacenterman8583 Chelsea is biggest club in London because Chelsea win 8 European trophy 🏆 and arsenal never win any European trophy so which history are you talking? and why? Chelsea have more fans than arsenal worldwide
Rory Jennings is always class in these as a non Chelsea fan myself. But I knew this would be a shitshow, Robbie Lyle's a good laugh but sometimes I'm convinced he runs AFTV as an intentional meme.
Yup but they managed to secure top 4 then which ultimately secured the purchase from Abramovich for UCL games. Anyone would have went and bought Chelsea but he came in first.
@@grealish2234 I know but the takeover from him was in 2003. Chelsea did qualify for UCL in 2002/03 with 7 points above Liverpool. This is main factor for him to purchase us instead of Tottenham. Plus knowing he was eyeing Tottenham as well, location could a factor. London is London after all.
the only big game in which henry didn't score was the ucl final against Barca. Otherwise just ask united livepool Madrid inter juve how it felt facing henry.
@@jithinprakash449 Any unbiased person knows that Drogba was a better BIG GAME PLAYER 10 goals in 10 finals is Ronaldo Real Madrid level. Not to mention Robbie says Partey> kovacic and Gabriel> rudiger and christiansen. The man is pure bias
Robbie states that Arsenal have more fans, globally, than Chelsea. However, every major social media site has Chelsea absolutely demolishing Arsenal in followers. Obviously this is skewed towards younger generations. This proves Rory’s assertion correct - Arsenal WERE the biggest club but now, with quantified numbers, Chelsea have exceeded them.
I'm from Latin America and at this side of the world Chelsea is way bigger than Arsenal in the popular opinion, I know Arsenal's history but from the people outside England There's nothing bigger than Champions League you need that trophy if you want to be considered a big club outside your country.
@@noah2906 And why exactly is that? Because his football style of play attracted those big clubs. If he wasn't deemed as a good player, do you think he would even have played for Real Madrid!?!? Think with your head before you make stupid comments like that. It's like saying it makes zero sense that big clubs win trophies... what do you expect? Of course they're gonna win trophies, especially when they have a vast variety of GOOD players, such as Real Madrid. Hence why only the best selected few of players are usually capable of making it into big clubs. The better you are at football determines the bigger and better the clubs that want you. Simple FACT.
@@choiceda5920 football is a business. This is something failing clubs ignore because they're broke. Easy to blame the man next door when he's got got a nicer car than you.
As a lifelong gooner, have to say that Chelsea overtook Arsenal when they beat City plus Drogba always delivered in big finals, i cant remember Henry ever having a good final for Arsenal
“Thierry Henry won many titles for Arsenal. Many, many titles.” 5. Two leagues and 3 FA Cups. He actually won more trophies in one calendar year at Barcelona (6) than he did in his entire career at Arsenal.
You are right. He did win many individual awards as well hence why he is considered premier league’s greatest ever player. No one can argue against the greatness of Henry.
That probably says more about the low-level of competition in Spain at the time and the fact he was playing for one of the greatest club sides ever assembled.
@@c-6230 Robbie said that Partey would get into Chelsea's team. He's not better defensively than Kante, he's not a good box to box like Kovacic and he's not as good as Jorginho at passing. He doesn't get into their team because in some way or another they have everything covered
Kante is better than Partey at literally everything. Jorginho is better than Partey at passing, dribbling, running a game. Partey probs edges him defensively. Nothing else. Kovacic is better than Partey at passing, dribbling, running a game. Partey probs edges him defensively.
@@gavlyons1750 He doesn't even edge Jorginho defensively. Jorgy has improved his defensive game so much, he is easily one of the best defensive midfielders in the world if not the best.
Henry scored 0 goals in 9 finals 11 goals in 11 for drogba and if arsenal have a better fan base why do Chelsea have 31 million followers on insta and arsenal have 20
Agreed re Drogba being special in finals - but quite far off overall talent of Henry. Instagram a very flimsy, skewed and unconvincing metric - the whole world is not on it; it priviliges a certain (younger) demographic, and a 'like'or 'follow' doesn't mean someone actually supports that team - plenty of people follow the top 10-20 clubs simultaneously just by virtue of being global football fans, which is often geared towards "superstars". Many don't even have a particular team; many are fans only of individual players - Ronaldo has 384 million followers alone, and Messi almost 300 million!
Chelsea obv has more followers because of the recent success so attracting more younger people so more followers. Clubs like Newcastle, Arsenal, Spurs and Villa don't have as many followers because they were successful before most of them were born
@@sashaw1744 still doesn’t prove why there isn’t a single star at Chelsea I been following Chelsea since I was 12 and they’re still the biggest club deluded arsenal fans will say whatever to defend their club look at shirt sales of last year and Chelsea sold 1.3 million in shirts while arsenal only sold 800k shows the difference clubs fans arsenal have had a 42% drop difference in the sales from 21 to 20 seasons
@Ulisses Mendoza I'm struggling to untangle a coherent point here, lack of syntax aside. Are you trying to say that 500,000 more people (a pretty small number in the scheme of things) bought Chelsea shirts last year, therefore the club's overall fan base is bigger? You seem to be confusing year-on-year popularity (swayed, for instance, by a Champion's League triumph) with lifelong one-club support. One is a volatile commercial metric with high churn rates (those same fans may have bought Bayern shirts the year before, and Liverpool and Real ones before that); the other is a heartfelt connection which, in its purest form, has no churn at all.
Henry was an amazing player and better than Drogba but Henry had 0 goals in 9 finals and Drogba scored 9 goals in 10 finals. He absolutely was the guy for the big day. Never let you down.
How many of those goals did he make himself?. Its a Flippin team game, when your team is so boring and defensive, set up to get you those goals, of course it's easier to bag goals. It's a whole lot different having to play in a team that plays expansive football, and your a big part of that style and reliance.
"The minute the Russian flew his helicopter over London and said I vant that one" had me in tears😂 Big up Rory, always doing Chelsea proud in these videos. As a Chelsea fan I believe I speak for most of us, that Rory should always be our spokesperson in these LADbible Debates.
My opinion as an arsenal supporter from a Chelsea family, Chelsea in terms of recent history absolutely the biggest club in London, overall history they would only be just behind, can say yeah arsenal have won 13 league titles and 14 fa cups, It’s those champions league titles that bring them right up to the level, it’s close for sure Chelsea buying their success, I think we can all agree the first two maybe they brought, but when they won the double in 09-10 they’d already got the foundation from the earlier success and in recent history their net spend hasn’t been huge, not been small but no more than other clubs Drogba 100% a better bigger game player non dispute but I’d still pay to watch Henry over drogba every day For arsenal players getting in the Chelsea team, for me it’s a non question really, they don’t play the same style or formation, saka is probably the only one who would get close in any formation, smith Rowe maybe in a few years same with ramsdale but apart from that there isn’t anything that would improve chelsea, mount playing out wide isn’t a good idea, said that from the beginning to the family, in behind the strikers very good player And of course we all hate Tottenham
Its harder to win the Premier League than the Champions League. Arsenal have a long history of success as Londons biggest club. Getting a super-rich sugar daddy to buy you success by spending huge amounts of money that no other club could match, is not the same as Arsenals successes at all. Consistent hard-earned success over 90 years is noteworthy. Getting your dad to buy your trophies at a corner shop is not.
@@vinsmokesanji6280 Sometimes stars have to be aligned for your team to win CL. When your team is doing great domestically but you have to face a greater opposition in Europe, you cant win CL. But when teams in Europe are not doing well and your team is not worse than them, you can win the CL. Generally you cant win as many CLs as your league titles. Man Utd under Ferguson won like about 13 EPL but only 2 CLs.

@@vinsmokesanji6280 Its easier to win the League Cup than the FA Cup, but Arsenal have only won the League Cup a couple of times but the FA Cup more than any other club. So What?

Its possible to draw most of your games in the Champions League and get to the final.
@@Mysnrnnr no chance mate the guy is a monster he is just a wall at the back. Watch him play a full 90 then come back and say that with chest so I know your on crack 😂
Stupid shit like "more fans = bigger", like what the fuck? First of all Chelsea is more popular today, second of all, United has much more fans than Liverpool, but they couldn't deny it that Liverpool is definitely bigger in terms of prestigious trophy.
Thank you. Someone whose spotted how deluded he truly is. His got all these little Arsenal fans by grasp because of his channel. They'll never mention how the invincibles lost to Chelsea in the Champions League that season too.
Robbie is also only half right about Chelsea nearly going out of business just before Roman bought us. The final match of the 02/03 season between Chelsea and Liverpool (the 4th place decider) was the closest Chelsea ever came to going under, if Chelsea had lost and not got UCL football then we would have gone bust, but we won 2-1 thus finishing 4th and saving the club before Roman decided to buy us.
@Cecil Sackey exactly, arsenal live off past glories, they have been a nothing club 'trophy wise' since the invincibles. And yeah you're right, we were playing UCL football before Abrahamic too, and nearly won the league in the 99. Regardless no team wins the UCL or thr PL now without spending big (bar Leicester, but that was 6 seasons ago).
@@waleed8530 Nottingham Forest have only won a single league title in their history so no, it does not make them bigger at all. Sure, they have won two UCL titles but they are nowhere near any of the big clubs in terms of success..
As a Chelsea fan, having Rory represent us in these kind of videos is one of the best things because he makes fair points and is far from deluded. He can find a middle point with the other person and has extensive knowledge on the club
This 'big-game player' label is a load of bollocks. It completely disregards a player's efforts in all the previous games leading up to a final and focuses on their performance in just one game. Are semi-finals not 'big games'?
The final is always the biggest game and Drogba scored in almost every one if not every one I’m not sure when we was almost down & out Bayern for example scored the header that took it to 1-1 in what the 80th minute & the winning penalty, I hear what you’re saying but the point of a big game player is how well they do in the biggest game
Chelsea are a bigger club in California, don't know about the rest of the US. There is no club close to United fans or are as loud. For the few pubs we have, Chelsea support is mint.
No doubt that Henry was way better footballer than Drogba but for some reason Drogba used to come alive in big occasions. I saw a record which states, Drogba:11 finals 11 goals. Henry:9 finals 0 goals- can someone verify this?
@@abzaq yes just hitting the bar isn’t delivering, and getting a red card when chelsea are on top of the game is actually called throwing, not delivering
As a chelsea fan Henry is clear, longevity wise, peak wise, ability wise, but drogba is the big game player and if not one the greatest big game players, that’s why Chelsea fans love him, in a game especially a final where we needed that one moment, drogba stepped up, in Munich there’s no other player that would’ve scored that header but drogba
Bro longevity wise how is Henry better? After Henry went to Barca he wasn't the same anymore and post 2010 his name wasn't even heard anymore compared to Drogba...bt I agree Henry overall as a player is better
Also it's a bit hypocritical of Robbie to accuse Chelsea of buying success , the big premier league teams are heavily influenced by foreign players and sponsorships , Arsenal themselves are owned by a billionaire owner from the USA , and they didn't exactly move from Highbury to the 'Emirates' stadium for charity .
@@yorambo2857 I’m saying he was more of a big game player , henry was more skilled on the ball and had more ability but in a big game you’d want someone like drogba who you know is gonna bag the most important goal
Man Utd have been shit since Fergie left are they a small club now? Liverpool were shit alll throughout the premier leauge era untill klopp arrived are they a small club?
Chelsea came second in the league under arsenal"s invincible season . all they had to do was buy a few players and close the gap. they were consistently in a top 6 race for a while before roman. its not like Newcastle or city who were finishing mid to bottom table when they got money. I wish teams Like Tottenham, arsenal etc invested better. Arsenal have also outspent Chelsea in the last 5 yrs
Roman bought the club the summer before Arsenal invincible season. They bough 14 players that summer, and another 9 the summer after to eventually win the league. "A few players" LOL.
@@SpoonDawg And they got rid of 15 players. my point is roman didnt just pick the club in a bad state football wise. financially we know they were dead but still doing well enough. they were in and around the top 6 before
So youre telling me, the games leading up to the final is bigger? All of the hardwork leading up to the final is wasted if you cant do it in the final.
The final is the biggest game, yes. But this does not mean that the games leading up to the final are not also 'big games'. Once you qualify for the next round of a tournament that next round is your 'biggest game', until you advance further (if you do, of course).
people tend to forget that time moves and if you’re stuck in the past you’ll share the same views as robbie and them. when someone makes a decision on which club to support they tend to lean towards clubs that are doing well. you can’t tell me that there’s people who would willing support the likes of nottingham just cos they won the champions league all those years ago unless you’re from that area. the ratio of people supporting arsenal v chelsea is obviously leaning towards the chels. you can even use social media stats to test this theory. swole campbell just needs to stop living in dreamland and realize that clubs like chelsea and man city are overtaking them
Chelsea before Abramovich had a team stacked with World Cup winners and the likes of Zola, Di Matteo, Hassellbaink etc. They were qualifying for CL football and were winning in Europe. To say they won nothing before Abramovich speaks out of pure bias rather than research. Roman wouldn't have bought the club if the foundations as a successful club weren't already there.
they wouldn’t have won a champions league, or a league. and chelsea signed many of our targets once abramovich had taken over because chelsea could spend more
Rory might be a nutcase sometimes on the kick off for instance but I’m glad he’s a representative of Chelsea. He’s calm and reasonable even against someone as emotionally geared as Robbie. Big up Rory.
Yes Drogba was a Unbelievable Big game player and Edges Henry on that title but people forget the big goals Henry has scored for Arsenal, France and Barcelona
If the question who was the better player, then its henry everyday of the week. If its 1 off big game finals then its drogba, but thats the only edge drogba has over henry. Henry is arguably the greatest player in the premier leagues history and just for the record, he had a better international career than drogba.
Facts are facts and he was, Henry never scored in any final... Ever! How he missed that chance against Barcelona in the CL Final, from about 6 yards out was beyond me but Henry was not clutch when it really counted. Henry was still a better forward in the EPL imo though, but Drogba was sir clutch
I'm a Real Madrid fan. Born and raised in Madrid, Spain. I'm as neutral as can be and I can tell you with 100% confidence that Chelsea are the biggest club in London and that Arsenal are definitely not a "Sleeping giant." AC Milan are a sleeping giant, Liverpool were a sleeping giant, not Arsenal. All I've seen of Arsenal during my lifetime, 19 years old, are a few FA Cups and Community Shields, mediocre league runs, and no presence in Europe.
I'm an arsenal fan and I fully disagree with Robbie, we love our club but shouldn't be blind, not a single player can play for Chelsea, Chelsea is bigger than us now, and Drogba was better than Henry in big games (finals), Henry was better than Drogba I think overall, but it's not that difficult to recognise that Drogba was better in such moments. But some Chelsea fans are mixing everything and say that Henry is not a big game player, because he show how could be good he was in some big games, in the league and champions League. It was a nice video, but I agree more with Rory even if I'm an arsenal fan.
When he said Partey, I was like "he doesn’t watch chelsea". When he said Saka, I was like "he doesn’t know what Mount brings in a game". When he said Gabriel, I was like, "he doesn’t watch football" Edit: argument around Alonso being in first 11 so he could put Arsenal player is peak Arsenal fan moment
As a Chelsea fan... In big games yes Drogba... Year after year all round consistency it's Henry Not saying drogba wasn't consistent, but Henry was more consistent
Chelsea have won the Prem several times, the Champions league, the Europa league, and whatever else since Arsenal won the League. They've won a few FA Cups but bottled the Europa League final against Chelsea a couple years ago. As for worldwide exposure Arsenal probably were bigger in that sense for a while, but Chelsea have gone on so much and are by far a bigger name worldwide than Arsenal, no argument.
Exaclty before arsenal were the biggest when they had Wenger but since then Chelsea have been around the world since then arsenal fans are just being deluded and not accepting the Loss
Arsenal have double the league titles of chelsea and more fa cups, the two biggest domestic trophies. Idk how you can say that chelsea is bigger than arsenal if we have more major trophies
@@cgbruz1231 Chelsea have been the most successful premier league team in the last decade fella. Arsenal used to be bigger, they're not anymore. Living in the past, Chelsea current European champions, top 4 of the Prem, you're choking this year again. My point is proven lad

As a chelsea fan I love your comment, however second xi Is harsh. Ramsdale over kepa Saka over someone and maybe one or two more MAX (no partey does not get in over our CM’s)
This Rory Jennings guy is awesome. I'm an American and have never heard of him before, but what a brilliant speaker, and he articulates his points fantastically.
as a fellow american, he may be articulate but he is also cunning and often deceptive. he called for sarri's head even before sarri got a proper chance at the club, which is quite disingenuous for a fan. he also didn't think tuchel was a chelsea man. don't be fooled by his lexicon, and if you watch some of his personal videos you will see why.
Just because Arsenal bought Partey from Atletico for 50 mil and he is half decent, doesnt mean he is better than Kovacic who is quicker, can dribble, has a better distribution and more assists, Partey is just stronger and taller, thats about it...
Drogba was a big game player that showed up and scored at ten Wembley finals and the Champions League final and was a big presence in big domestic games, London is BLUE and will remain BLUE for a long time while Arsenal will remain rubbish.
@@kuangcheng4589 stop talking nonsense. You’ve spent more than anyone this season and you aren’t much better than us. It’s not anyone else’s fault your owners don’t invest as much into your club as they do into their American team. I’m sure you would love it if you had an owner like Roman who would invest in your club.
What do you mean historically? History shows chelsea have 2 ucls and arsenal 0. Do you want chelsea to win 10 ucls and 20 prem leagues to admit they're bigger now? You don't stay "bigger" forever. 10 years ago, Yes but now and for next whatever future they'll always be bigger until you reclaim your spot which might be "NEVER".
@@limofootball Arsenal are the 3rd biggest club in English football history and have a much bigger fan base worldwide! We earned our 13 league titles you bought your success! Arsenal are easily the biggest club in London
Drogba could pull together results when it was needed, he used to shred Arsenal. BUT peak Henry at the heights of his power was simply unplayable. Henry is the fastest (top speed) , swiftest (acceleration), intelligent, aware and crafty player of all time. There's no other striker I'd take over peak Henry. Now that being said who do I think compares CR7, peak Ronaldo Gaucho, Kyrian, peak Auba, Lewandowski and Zatlan. I'm talking about strikers who are only impeded by themselves. Also while were on the subject Lewa was ROBBED at the Balon D'or. Last year's Messi was not better than him. Also have to say what we are witnessing w/ Salah is not being covered loudly enough.
Rory articulated his points so well, the line about enjoyment and finance in football was so well said. He looked at questions objectively. Like Robbie a lot but his bias is comical haha
I'm a guy from Viet nam and i could say i love Arsenal for the first time i saw them and i don't know why. I began watching football at 10. There are tons of wonderful clubs at that times. I even knew Barcalona, Man Utd, Chelsea,.. before Arsenal. The moment that i caught off by Arsenal is when i just randomly put football on Tv and see them destroy 6-0 Blackpool (2010) and i know this is the love of my life. Honestly i would rather ditch any Chicks or even Friends than this club no matter there is moment they made me frustuating with their performances. Damn, if i love football with trophy i would not pick Arsenal but i fall in love with love no matter what even when i first watched them they were not the strongest or worse they got no trophys for the long time, i could have picked Man utd, Barca, Real Marid, Chelsea, but i gave no fuck about them. Arsenal got something the other team don't and that is emotion they bring to football. Last saturday, man that is the one of the most passionate Arsenal that i thought i was lost years ago. But unfortunately, a win was robbed by Ref. (We totally dominated the Oil field for the whole 1st haft until the Ref stole the show). Manchester "Oil field" is maybe the champion this season but they are not deserved to beat Arsenal last game. Fuck VAR
Rory's far too agreeable here, Robbie sounds like Ty at times. Partey over Kovacic? Gabriel getting into the Chelsea defence? When Azpilicueta is on the bench LMAO And all this rubbish about Chelsea trophies being "tarnished" because of the money spent when Arsenal have outspent every other club in the Premier League this season but are sitting in 5th. Aubameyang (75M), Lacazette (50M) and Pepe (80M) weren't exactly cheap as well now were they.
I don't get this idea that just because u weren't a bigger club before financial investment, the fact that u win trophies, means less just cuz u don't have that historical prestige compared to a club like Man Utd. Like what????

I do wish he was a bit more objective & fight the points he could & conceded the ones he needed to, like the dd vs Henry q: Rory saying Henry wasn't good in big games was silly when you see a pl h/l package of his banners against lvpl & man u, scoring against spurs, at rm & juve, but you have to say dd was not a great goalscorer, but turned up when his team weren't doing it & dragged them over the line, that's why he said he lived the wording of the q. & You could also argue what's the point without emotion, we'd just be watching robots, that passion dies need to come out a little, just not take control over the situation
As a Chelsea fan, Henry is the greatest ever Premier League player. But Drogba was the man for the finals. Henry did score in a lot of big games. His record against the "big teams" was good. Plenty of goals against Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool, etc and many of them were beauties. But if it's strictly final, then Drogba. There's only one final Drogba DIDN'T score, against Man Utd when he hit the post and got sent off.
He scored in every other final. 2 against Arsenal to turn the game around, two finals against Liverpool, Man Utd, Tottenham, Everton, Bayern, Portsmouth. Those are just the ones I remember. Chelsea won all but one of those (against Tottenham). You can't deny he was THE man for the finals no matter who you support.

Yeap..overall after considering everything you would have to go with Henry although it's close bt in big games Drogba's in a whole other level on his own

People try to diminish Drogba’s career at Chelsea by painting him as an average player (in terms of productivity) but his numbers for us were very good in the Prem.

5. Two leagues and 3 FA Cups. He actually won more trophies in one calendar year at Barcelona (6) than he did in his entire career at Arsenal.
You are right. He did win many individual awards as well hence why he is considered premier league’s greatest ever player. No one can argue against the greatness of Henry.
That probably says more about the low-level of competition in Spain at the time and the fact he was playing for one of the greatest club sides ever assembled.

Henry scored 0 goals in 9 finals 11 goals in 11 for drogba and if arsenal have a better fan base why do Chelsea have 31 million followers on insta and arsenal have 20
Agreed re Drogba being special in finals - but quite far off overall talent of Henry. Instagram a very flimsy, skewed and unconvincing metric - the whole world is not on it; it priviliges a certain (younger) demographic, and a 'like'or 'follow' doesn't mean someone actually supports that team - plenty of people follow the top 10-20 clubs simultaneously just by virtue of being global football fans, which is often geared towards "superstars". Many don't even have a particular team; many are fans only of individual players - Ronaldo has 384 million followers alone, and Messi almost 300 million!
Chelsea obv has more followers because of the recent success so attracting more younger people so more followers. Clubs like Newcastle, Arsenal, Spurs and Villa don't have as many followers because they were successful before most of them were born
@@sashaw1744 still doesn’t prove why there isn’t a single star at Chelsea I been following Chelsea since I was 12 and they’re still the biggest club deluded arsenal fans will say whatever to defend their club look at shirt sales of last year and Chelsea sold 1.3 million in shirts while arsenal only sold 800k shows the difference clubs fans arsenal have had a 42% drop difference in the sales from 21 to 20 seasons
@Ulisses Mendoza I'm struggling to untangle a coherent point here, lack of syntax aside. Are you trying to say that 500,000 more people (a pretty small number in the scheme of things) bought Chelsea shirts last year, therefore the club's overall fan base is bigger? You seem to be confusing year-on-year popularity (swayed, for instance, by a Champion's League triumph) with lifelong one-club support. One is a volatile commercial metric with high churn rates (those same fans may have bought Bayern shirts the year before, and Liverpool and Real ones before that); the other is a heartfelt connection which, in its purest form, has no churn at all.
Henry was an amazing player and better than Drogba but Henry had 0 goals in 9 finals and Drogba scored 9 goals in 10 finals. He absolutely was the guy for the big day. Never let you down.
10 goals in 10 finals
How many of those goals did he make himself?. Its a Flippin team game, when your team is so boring and defensive, set up to get you those goals, of course it's easier to bag goals. It's a whole lot different having to play in a team that plays expansive football, and your a big part of that style and reliance.

yeah now that same russian is saying adios
My opinion as an arsenal supporter from a Chelsea family, Chelsea in terms of recent history absolutely the biggest club in London, overall history they would only be just behind, can say yeah arsenal have won 13 league titles and 14 fa cups, It’s those champions league titles that bring them right up to the level, it’s close for sure
Chelsea buying their success, I think we can all agree the first two maybe they brought, but when they won the double in 09-10 they’d already got the foundation from the earlier success and in recent history their net spend hasn’t been huge, not been small but no more than other clubs
Drogba 100% a better bigger game player non dispute but I’d still pay to watch Henry over drogba every day
For arsenal players getting in the Chelsea team, for me it’s a non question really, they don’t play the same style or formation, saka is probably the only one who would get close in any formation, smith Rowe maybe in a few years same with ramsdale but apart from that there isn’t anything that would improve chelsea, mount playing out wide isn’t a good idea, said that from the beginning to the family, in behind the strikers very good player
And of course we all hate Tottenham
Its harder to win the Premier League than the Champions League. Arsenal have a long history of success as Londons biggest club. Getting a super-rich sugar daddy to buy you success by spending huge amounts of money that no other club could match, is not the same as Arsenals successes at all. Consistent hard-earned success over 90 years is noteworthy. Getting your dad to buy your trophies at a corner shop is not.

Yes Drogba was a Unbelievable Big game player and Edges Henry on that title but people forget the big goals Henry has scored for Arsenal, France and Barcelona
That's not question, question is "is he a better big game player than Drogba"...
The fact is he isn't..
If the question who was the better player, then its henry everyday of the week. If its 1 off big game finals then its drogba, but thats the only edge drogba has over henry. Henry is arguably the greatest player in the premier leagues history and just for the record, he had a better international career than drogba.
None of these gooners can understand basic English apparently. Including Robbie.
You mean like the one he scored after deliberate handball?
Facts are facts and he was, Henry never scored in any final... Ever! How he missed that chance against Barcelona in the CL Final, from about 6 yards out was beyond me but Henry was not clutch when it really counted. Henry was still a better forward in the EPL imo though, but Drogba was sir clutch
As a neutral, gun to head & everything on line, if I'm counting on one man to lead the team to Victory in a Final Drogba all day, everyday.

Also while were on the subject Lewa was ROBBED at the Balon D'or. Last year's Messi was not better than him. Also have to say what we are witnessing w/ Salah is not being covered loudly enough.
Kyrian
Peak Ronaldo is shitting on Henry any day
"Ronaldo gaucho"
@@lilaze60 he mean r9 and ronaldinho
Ronaldo Nazario?
Rory articulated his points so well, the line about enjoyment and finance in football was so well said. He looked at questions objectively. Like Robbie a lot but his bias is comical haha
I'm a guy from Viet nam and i could say i love Arsenal for the first time i saw them and i don't know why. I began watching football at 10. There are tons of wonderful clubs at that times. I even knew Barcalona, Man Utd, Chelsea,.. before Arsenal. The moment that i caught off by Arsenal is when i just randomly put football on Tv and see them destroy 6-0 Blackpool (2010) and i know this is the love of my life. Honestly i would rather ditch any Chicks or even Friends than this club no matter there is moment they made me frustuating with their performances. Damn, if i love football with trophy i would not pick Arsenal but i fall in love with love no matter what even when i first watched them they were not the strongest or worse they got no trophys for the long time, i could have picked Man utd, Barca, Real Marid, Chelsea, but i gave no fuck about them. Arsenal got something the other team don't and that is emotion they bring to football. Last saturday, man that is the one of the most passionate Arsenal that i thought i was lost years ago. But unfortunately, a win was robbed by Ref. (We totally dominated the Oil field for the whole 1st haft until the Ref stole the show). Manchester "Oil field" is maybe the champion this season but they are not deserved to beat Arsenal last game. Fuck VAR
Rory's far too agreeable here, Robbie sounds like Ty at times. Partey over Kovacic? Gabriel getting into the Chelsea defence? When Azpilicueta is on the bench LMAO
And all this rubbish about Chelsea trophies being "tarnished" because of the money spent when Arsenal have outspent every other club in the Premier League this season but are sitting in 5th. Aubameyang (75M), Lacazette (50M) and Pepe (80M) weren't exactly cheap as well now were they.
I don't get this idea that just because u weren't a bigger club before financial investment, the fact that u win trophies, means less just cuz u don't have that historical prestige compared to a club like Man Utd. Like what????
Gabriel probably would get into the team tbh
@@chrisboateng5975 absolutely not
@@123kaired so ur saying christensen azpi or silva ain't getting in the team?
