Thierry Henry is what Barney Stinson from the American tv-series How I Met Your Mother would call legen - wait for it - dary! Now, the French striker has tied the boots for the last time.

The - now - former Monaco, Juventus, Arsenal, Barcelona and New York Red Bull striker has decided to end his career after his contact with the Americans ran out earlier in December. 

360 goals in 792 club matches later, and with a World Cup- and EURO-trophy in his bag, Henry is now starting a new career.

Instead, Henry will now start a career as Skysport pundit and spread his wisdom to the British football fans. 

We have seen the Arsenal darling on TV before, and to celebrate the striker's new role, Great Dane Football Blog takes a look on what to expect for the future - and what we will miss from the past.

But as much as we will miss the incredible goals, we can look forward to this:

Britney Spears' Oops I did it again seems to be the soundtrack of Nicklas Bendtner's life. Once again, the former talent made it through to the headlines - and once again it was negative.

Saturday night, Bendtner decided to get behind the wheel after a wet night in Copenhagen and drive home. Unfortunately for Bendtner, the Police was there to stop him and add just another controversial event to his already long list.

The offence has been met with disgrace by the football fans of Denmark as drunk driving is some of the most unacceptable in Denmark. Furthermore, the Danish FA (DBU) has decided to give Bendtner a six months break from national duties. A mild punishment as the striker is currently injured and only will miss two matches. After the six months, Bendtner will then have a word with DBU and find out if he has a future on the national team.

Further more, his career in Juventus seems to have reach an end as the Vice-Director Fabio Paratici has ordered Nicklas Bendtner back in Torino to explain himself. According to the club, Bendtner was in Denmark to rehabilitate from his injury, and not supposed to be partying in Copenhagen.

Should Bendtner be sacked in Juventus he will return to Arsenal, where they probably won't welcome him with open arms. Arsene Wenger is known for his strict discipline and has earlier punished a player as Jermain Pennant for drunk driving. On top of that, Bendtner is not even close to be a part of the team and might be sold in the summer window.

This raises a new question; who will have a player with his reputation? First of all, Bendtner is still aiming to be the worlds best striker, and therefore, will only represent a top team. However, with his long list of bad behaviour no top team will hire a player like him. Nicklas Bendtner will have to settle with a mid- or bottom table team. Second, if Bendtner keep living the life he does, he will never fulfill the potential that he as a matter of fact has. It is hard to see him make it in a top four club in the Premier League, Italian Serie A, German Bundesliga or Spanish Primera Divisíon. However, with the right mid-table club he can be a star.

If Bendtner wants to make it as a star in any team, he will have to put this behind him. In 2011, he wrote a letter to the Danish fans stating that he would change. However, in 2013 nothing has. Bendtner looks more and more as a joke rather than a talent.

Celtic was not given many chances in this years Champions League. However, the Scots surprised and are now in the 1/8 finals against Juventus.

Champions League 1/8 finals

Celtic Park

12-02-2013 @ 19.45 UK

How are the two teams form?

The Scots are unbeaten in their last three matches, in the domestic league and the Scottish Cup while a defeat against St. Mirren in the League Cup is still haunting the Bhoys. In the Champions League, Celtic ended last calendar year with a 2-1 win against Spartak Moskva securing them a second position in the group.

Juventus' season has been good so far, positioned 1 on the Serie A and winners of group E in the Champions League. The Italians have won their latest two matches in the domestic league, as well as their last match in the ChL against Shaktar Donetsk.

Last time the two teams met was in the 2001 Champions League group E. Here, Celtic won the first meeting 4-3 while Juventus won 3-2 at home.

What is the probable starting XI?

Celtic will have Fraser Forster and Kelvin Wilson back from injuries, and they are bot expected to go straight into the starting XI. At the same time, Juventus has almost all of their profiles ready for this match. 

What to expect from this match?

As mentioned before, not many expected Celtic to be a part of the 1/8 finals, but the Scots are here to stay. We might see a defensive starting point, but the Bhoys will not let the Italians run the over. On the other hand, Juventus has a very strong attack and their pace will challenge the Celtic defends. Pirlo has already said that Juve is prepared on the Scots and knows how to play against them. Tomorrow night, we will see if the Italians had prepared enough.

What are the odds?

StanJames has the best odds on Juventus with 10/11, while a draw gives back 30/11 at Pinnacle. The same bookmaker presents a 41/10 bet on Celtic.
