He has also said this :
Having said that he also did say that he loves Arsenal but since he left, rumours of him returning to English football have been circulating ever since he left for Barca, suggesting that he'd join Liverpool given the opportunity. Well these are just rumours of course but the statement above is pretty much fact.

Sounds like a "Come get me" plea from Henry.
But really, i won't disagree with Henry about the environment in Anfield. I dont need to go to Anfield to experience it coz i've been to one of your live screening at Breakers when Man Utd was beaten, that is enough to convince me.
That article is close to a year old and that was the period he was struggling at Barca so maybe now he's changed his mind. He's scoring regularly now, been linking up realy well with his Barca mates, so it will be rather surprising if he still wants to leave Barca now. The thing about Henry is that he's so used to the team revolving around him. You could almost say that he's a one man team. He needs to be the centre of everything, the fulcrum of the team and he was struggling a lil bit in the early Barca days simply because Barca already had some superstars in Etoo, Messi, Ronaldinho, Xavi and to a certain extent Iniesta who's an excellent playmaker as well. At Arsenal, he was untouchable and that to a certain extent hindered our progress. We were almost playing at the very max and seems like couldn't make anymore progress. But when he left, Cesc took over the leadership and we played more simple and more effective football.
IT has been well documented that if Henry is to join another Premier League team, it would be Liverpool, he said that. In fact, before his move to Barcelona, he actually toyed with the idea of joining Liverpool, but because of his allegiance to Arsenal, he can't see himself playing for another premier league team. Of course, these things do change, we can only wait and see what happens. But really, i won't disagree with Henry about the environment in Anfield.

On the note of switching clubs, I think it's a no brainer, those who switch clubs mainly do so because they want to be the with "in" crowd, to avoid being teased on, and mainly also they don't know how to answer back. Honestly, I can't see meself supporting another team, even if we got relegated to the conference league or the Blue Diamond League, it's about supporting the club, not supporting who's on top. I have friends who supported Blackburn and then Newcastle, because Alan Shearer moved back to Newcastle. To me, it's one thing liking the player, it's another switching allegiance because of the player. For us, we don't switch to Leeds because Fowler went to Leeds and then Man City, or suddenly became an Atletico Madrid fan because Garcia went there, we would want these ex players to do well, but would never switch clubs.
It's the same with managers, players and all other things. It all boils down to one cliche "the club is always bigger than the player" and "the player come and go, the club stays" or if you've watch the movie "Goal", there's this quote that I like, "The name in front of the shirt (the crest) is more important (or bigger) than the one behind".
All in all, I would not be ashamed to say that I like West Ham, but would not say that I support West Ham, and no, West Ham is not my second team, I like them because of the football they play (from the Redknapp days), their famed academy and the fact that they had 8 England players who was in the England World Cup winning team. And many many more. Switching club? I am more likely to switch gender before contemplating it.
