He most certainly is! I like Shevchenko, he's one of the best around in terms of what you expect from a striker, but Henry does things you don't expect from a striker, so I'd say he has a better all round game. Looks like the general consensus is that Henry is better than horse face at any rate, if not the best in the world, stupid Fergie...

As for the one of Ruud's 2 goals against Arsenal that didn't come from the spot, all I remember is someone giving him the ball, him running about 10 yards, then beating our keeper, don't recall any marking and loads of space, wouldn't have said there was anything impressive about it, poor defending more than anything.

I dunno how much better Rooney will get either, he's already got a good football brain and good decision making, apart from his temperament I don't see how he's going to improve that much.

Also, it's interesting to note that Henry has scored virtually twice as many league goals as anyone bar Andy Johnson this season. Henry's got 25 so far and apart from Johnson everyone else has 13 at best, nowhere near Henry, but it's curious how low most of the goal tallies are, you'd almost think defences are getting better, not as dodgy as some make out...
