Van Persie's desire to play for utd is perverse. When he talked about the little boy inside him I believe he meant it.

So?

He was never a gooner like us. Don't bother bringing up that photo of him in a Arsenal shirt when he was 12 or whatever. He clearly stated he supported Barcelona as well during that time.

Top brass player.

And so much for him getting injured so easily and so regularly.

Are you trying to get a reaction here? We all seen the first time you said how great he was, get over it.

Wanted to highlight the bold part too.

Most of his injuries came from rough tackles, he's avoided those for a while now. He'll probably benefit from the extra protection Man Utd players get.

Yep the likes of Young, Gerrard, Owen in his day are all fairly elite level divers.

And when Owen dived against Argentina in the 2002 WC, the english commentator said, 'well when you leave your foot out like that then what do you expect?'

The game ended 1-0 to England via a David Beckham peno from Owen's dive.

Nah Tony, it's not that. I've no problem with players being professionals and not really caring about rivalries. Hell, that's how we got Sol. But if you believe Wenger the guy had a better offer from the champs and refused it just to play for ferguson. I don't know, I just find that perverse. He's a twat.

Fuck Robin Van Persie!!!

Don't really enjoy watching strikers who can't carry the ball ala Ronaldo(Brazilian), Henry, Weah etc, well except if they are banging them in for my team.

Gutted for Shakhtar but I still think they'll end up topping the group. Chelsea go out if they lose to Juve and Shakhtar win against Nordsjaelland, right? That would be great!

Great goal from Giovinco tonight.

I liked VP when he played for us and i now hate him as he plays for manure. No explanation required. It is the law!

Why's that perverse? People come here to play for Wenger. Fabregas did for a start.

It just shows RVP didn't move just for the money. United's structure is much better than City's even now.

Logical thinking.

Mine is illogical hence why I apologised, but I really like his game.

Would depend on the Shaktar-Juve result in the last match. Shaktar has the tie-break won vs Chelsea if both are tied as a result of away goal in their two matches together. If Juve beats Chelsea, Chelsea would also lose that tiebreak.

Chelsea could however still get though if Shaktar beats Juve in the last game and they beat the Swedish side (10pts vs 9)

Yeah the above is spot on. Thought for a moment all 3 teams were on 7 points.

I just can't take it. Every game. Every fucking game Van Persie gets a crucial goal.

Anyway, Celtic, well done to them.

Yes Patters, but those statistics are in the wrong order.
All the irrelevant crap should come first to build up to the bottom line- the only stat that matters.
