"Chelsea are bitchers and Barca are moaners" Robin van Persie has launched an astonishing attack on Chelsea, branding them whingers and said they should âshut the f*** upâ. The Arsenal striker accused his London rivals of continually âbitchingâ about referees. He also believes that Barcelona players are guilty of baiting referees. Interviewed on Dutch TV, he said: âPeople who are watching the game on television and fans really do not want to see these kind of things. âIf you want to witness a lot of complaints, you should just go the bakery or something. Thereâs always people nagging there as well. âChelsea players are always bitching against the referees. I really cannot understand that. Just shut the f*** up and focus on playing football.â Van Persie, in the Holland squad for Sundayâs friendly in Brazil, also attacked Barcelona. He was controversially sent off in Arsenalâs Champions League game at the Nou Camp in March and added: âThey [Barca players] always go up to referees in an attempt to get an opponent booked. âThey are trying to screw colleagues! That really annoys me. "The Barcelona players nag about everything that happens on the pitch. I was disappointed with that.â Whaddaguy
I'm gonna get RvP shirt just because he said that. What a legend. But he should've pointed at utd as well. But yh he's bang on.
>> “Chelsea players are always bitching against the referees. I really cannot understand that. Just shut the f*** up and focus on playing football.” Obviously as a stoke fan I completely agree with this statement - Perhaps he should have a quiet word in Wilshire's ear and tell him hassling the referee en-masse is against the rules. Just because other teams do it does not make it right.
He didn't mention the waving of imaginary cards. Oh wait, thats his Captain, Gimp Fabregas that is the most prolific Prem player at that piece of fair play. Did he mention any particular team crying like babies about being roughed up by the big boys, before a game so as to influence refs? Thought not. Can't imagine why. Did you know that Arsenal are pretty much considered the biggest whingers in English football?
Also, did he tell that girl to 'shut the **** up' on that romantic night in Holland where he showed what a classy guy he is?
I didn't mention role model. I wouldn't use any footballer as a role model. I just pointed out how foolish RVP has made himself look seeing as his own Captain is one of the worst moaners in the Prem and ahead of all other when it comes to waving imaginary cards. You are right to be embarrased.
