Henry: That's not how it's done, Alex. You see when I went to Barca and won the UCL, I used to do it like this. Before I joined Arsenal, we had shit strikers. After I left, we had shit strikers. But now you, you don't want to be shit, do you?
Alex: No boss. Just one question. Is that also how you score in cup finals?
Adams: YEARRRRR PASHUN! TACKLE 'IM TACKLE 'IM!
*Grabs Chambers by the scruff of his neck*
"Let me show you how it's done."
On a serious note, you do realize that both Henry and Adams were offered coaching roles here, and they turned us down?

Lampard has gone to manage Derby. Gerrard is managing Rangers. Giggs is managing the Welsh national team.
Chelsea, Liverpool, and ManU legends respectively.
Henry would easily get such coaching roles in England, Spain, and France. Even in Germany. But no, he wants to continue being a pundit and he's already targeting the Arsenal job.
His monumental ego shouldn't be anywhere near Arsenal. The man thinks he's Pep already.
Eh?
Henry is an assistant manager for the Belgium NT, which allows him to learn his trade working with 3 world class players and still be a pundit for now. Lampard shouldn't have the job he has, hope he fails and Gerrard has gone to a dross league with a shit team to try and get into management.
Henry is winning by far.
It's about the attitude.
Wenger offered Henry a place in the coaching staff. But he didn't want to leave his pundit role. I don't think Pep and Zidane quite did that.
Henry is with the Belgium NT as he's allowed to work under his own terms.
The argument also isn't about Lampard's credentials or where Gerrard is headed. Both have dared to get into management and both have risked their reputation. Lampard didn't sit around expecting the top job at Chelsea. Gerrard didn't.
It shows how enthusiastic and genuine their desire to manage is. They decided to coach teams that weren't all glamorous or glitzy. If they fail, well fair enough - they'd have tried.
Either you start by coaching the B sides if you're in Spain (as Pep did) or you go and start small (as Ancelotti did).
Working with world-class players has no impact in developing a manager's ability. Wenger started with Nancy, Klopp started with the U-10s. SAF started with a side that didn't even have a goalkeeper.
Whoever is winning is irrelevant. Their attitude, however, is reflected.
