His overall involvement in a game has improved so much in the last couple of years, he really is a complete striker, i so wish he had taken Ledley Kind on in that one on one towards the end.
Van Persie - too early?
Read somewhere he's suspended for 5 yellows. Can anyone confirm?
After Dec 31st you need 10 yellows to get a suspension so no he's not suspended.

I think I was in a state of shock and disbelief at that point, I just burst out laughing. Wouldn't mind seeing a clip or GIF of that if anyone has it.
I absolutely loved his part in Walcott's first goal too.
Just beautiful, does Scott Parker shake his fist in frustration at the end?
Someone needs to swat this twat Henry Winter even though the point he is trying to make is not wrong.
Wasn't it him and only him who said that Van Persie would be the only Arsenal player to get into a composite Arsenal - Spurs XI?
That article is ridiculous.
I thought it was rather fitting. For those who haven't read it- summary below.

Alone, the Shining Beacon of the Arsenal of Dour Youth.
Unstoppable, He Conquers for the Cannons, Who Grovel at His Eternal Mercy. Bearer of the Key to Gooner Salvation. Repent, o Goonerdom!
Never thought the bloke was so old fashioned though.
Brilliant skill from Robin, if one thing he has really benifited from this injury free spell is that his power has improved significantly, he has always had the technique & skill, but being able to dominate people physically has really taken his game to another level. He is much more capable I'm the box now because of it.

Is there really much of a difference between left footed and right footed players.
There's nobody better in the Premier League at dragging the ball and turning to create acres of space for himself.
Why didn't he come off in the 85th minute with a muscle strain against Spurs?

Very hard to predict or dispossess of the ball our Robin. His movement is indeed exceptional. Always wiggles his way into that pocket of space necessary to get off a shot or pass. If he doesn't sign on, serious woe is us.
Anyone saying silva, bale or rooney have been better clearly have lost their sanity, robins been unplayable.
anyone got a gif of RvP making mugs of 4 scummy players in the second half?

Even better - I've got a youtube clip:
funny because it started with a tired first touch from him
