Thierry Henry dissed Arsenal after signing with Barcelona

After we heard Thierry Henry denied reports that he'll be leaving Arsenal to sign with Barcelona FC, Henry signed with Barcelona FC.

Nyuk nyuk nyuk... Yep, Thierry Henry left Arsenal and the English Premiership to play for Barcelona in the Spanish La Liga. Thierry Henry now joins Brazil football demi-god Ronaldinho as they go for next season's La Liga title.

Thierry Henry, wearing his new No.14 Barcelona FC jersey, already looked at home on the Nou Camp turf with about 30,000 fans giving the former Arsenal striker a hero's welcome.

Hell, the support Henry got from the Barca fans were even bigger than what Ronaldinho got four years ago when he made his Barca debut. Obviously, Henry sure was happy about it.

''It's great to be here playing at Barcelona,'' the former Arsenal captain, Thierry Henry, said in Catalan after he had greeted the ecstatic crowd and performed some ball-juggling tricks.

''I always said that if I ever leave Arsenal, it would be to play for Barcelona. It's no disrespect to anybody, it's my choice,'' Henry told reporters earlier. ''The way Barcelona plays, the fans, just being here and what I'm noticing now, it's outstanding.''

He he... Sure it is. And to think he was saying he would never leave Arsenal just a few weeks ago. He he... What a jackass.

''I'm always surprised when I see all you guys (the press) here and all the people in the stands waiting to see me,'' Thierry Henry said. ''What they say is true, Barcelona is more than just a club.''

Of course, Henry also heard that other thing they say about Barca. The one that says, ''Barcelona FC can pay you more money.''

That's why he's with Barca.
