I am very concerned for our friends on the other side of North London, since the departure of RVP to Manchester United. This morning, they will be waking up to some pretty dire headlines. Raylour Parlour (ex-Gooner legend) had this to say:-
"Former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour believes the sale of Robin van Persie, 29, shows Arsenal can no longer compete with the biggest clubs." (Source: talkSPORT)
Even the BBC is getting in on the wum act:-
"Robin van Persie could score the goals that will win Manchester United the Premier League title, according to ex-Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp. And Reds' midfielder Michael Carrick hopes the club can repeat the treble-winning feat of 1999 with Van Persie." (Source: BBC Football site)
Rubbing salt into an already festering wound, the BBC added: "Van Persie scored 44 goals in 57 games for club and country last season, including two against United."
This is not something that PESKIE, gunner.b.allwrong, and Arsenal47 (or whatever that arsehole's name is) are going to want to hear over their cornflakes, this morning.
And then, in a move that really puts the boot in, the BBC turned to ex-Spurs manager, Harold Redknapp, for his thoughts on the move:-
Redknapp predicted success for Van Persie - who joined Arsenal as a 20-year-old in 2004 for £2.75m - at Old Trafford, and sounded an ominous warning to other Premier League sides.
"If he performs like he did last year then him and Rooney will just be an incredible partnership," Redknapp said.
And, finally, to further take the piss, Graham Taylor (once dubbed "Turnip Head" for his love of vegetables), said:-
"Now they've signed him I'm confident they can go on and win the title."
Many Gooners were already in deep denial, with some even suggesting that RVP would do a U-turn and admit to his followers that he had been wrong, and beg to be brought back into the fold; but it was not to be. Arguably the greatest player ever to have pulled on an Arsenal shirt, RVP had decided that he had served more than enough time with the club, and that it was time to move on and try to win some trophies, while he still had a chance.
My concern, now, is for our Gooner kin. Self-harming and severe mental trauma cannot be ruled out. I think it is incumbent on us to do what we can to help them through this tragic period of time in their history. So, if you know a Gooner, just keep a careful eye on him. Is the milk piling up on the doorstep? When you peep through their letterbox, does it look like the mail is being taken off the doormat? That sort of thing.
And as for PESKIE and his mates, let's go easy on him, eh, lads? Show some respect. We are, after all, charitable people.
