Cheers Captain
van Persie sold to Man United
Sounds a bit odd but reading his commentary gives me the shivers.
Loved watching Bergkamp more than any other player.
that first comment had me in stiches for hours when i first saw it 
It's brilliant.
Henry and Bergkamp were a long way ahead of Robin in my opinion. Robin's a great player; the best in the League by a pretty big distance and one of the best in the world, but those two were other worldly.
....and we had both of them, playing together, at their best.

I admit to "finding" Bergkamp a little late in his career, but what I saw absolutely blew my mind. Never really cared for watching football that much (which is weird considering I played it :), so when I took an interest finally and saw him come of the bench in a game Arsenal were playing it was a little bit confusing. Why in the hell was this man on the bench in the first place? So many questions running through my head because he clearly belonged out there instead. If he scored a goal I don't remember. It didn't matter though. He was just pure elegance and will always remain one of the best ever along with Zidane in my eyes. Just can't feel the same way about Messi and Ronaldo as I do about those two. They don't make the game look as beautiful.
Zidane was on my radar since '98 because he was Zidane. The penalty versus Buffon in the '06 WCF was absolutely perfect. Who does that? Gutted when France ended up losing, but the head-butt made him even more of legend in my eyes.
There were a few distinct phases to Bergkamp's Arsenal career. Certainly think the RVP of this season would have given Dennis a good run for his place in the team post 2000.

And his celebration too.
one of my favorite goals ever!
Just saw that DB10 vid posted on the previous page. What an amazing video.
Bergkamp was a genius and one of the best players I have ever seen but had too many off seasons at Arsenal to be considered our greatest ever player, thats why for me I would put Henry ahead of him although you could argue the former has more talent.

Well put.

Thinking about it more, it's actually pretty pointless to compare Bergkamp and van Persie. Despite the constant comparisons, the Robin we see today is a completely different player, playing a completely different role.
I think Robin's a better Number 9; better in the box than Bergkamp ever was (for us), but without Bergkamp's genius and technical perfection as a playmaker.
Isn't that what Inter tried to do with Bergkamp? Play him at point in a 4-3-3/4-5-1 and he was a big fat failure?
Bergkamp at his peak could do what Robin has done this season.
Robin at his peak would never be able to do what Bergkamp did.

I agree with you on the second statement but not the first. Bergkamp never had the goal scoring instincts. He scored loads for Ajax but he didn't do too well as the lone striker at Inter Milan and wasn't exactly known for his goal scoring at Arsenal. His assist record was more impressive than his goal scoring record. Doesn't he have the highest amount of assists in Arsenals history?
If it is indeed a City delegate the club should give him a hefty fine.
Robin van Persie @Persie_Official
"@SasperEllla: @Persie_Official @Famlan Who's the old dude in the middle?" Lol he is a great man shall I try to organise a date for you?
hmm!
Why are people calling some unknown a "City degate"? He seems to have been at the Emirates, but so what? And that third pic doesn't even look like the same person.
Is this being reporter by actual journalists anywhere or is it just some random Arsenal blog?
Just realised that RvP tweeted that pic himself.
And people think it's a City official?
