    Oh dude i remember i know this is gonna be retarded to say but everytime i played with a homie in fifa without fail hed pick van persie before anything wlse. And this motherfucker would score volleys like it was his signature on a bank note. And sure enough van persie would do that in real life. I apways remember him scoring these crazy first shot volleys. I still remember that diving header he made on spain the man was absolutely clutch.

    He is relaxed in that Utd team because those guys would chew off their legs to win a match. During his last 2 seasons at Arsenal, I've watched enough matches to tell he was really frustrated at his teammates and Wenger. They capitulated too often when they get pushed and hustled by their opponents. Arsenal post Vieira, Bergkamp and Henry was just like the current Utd. Technically gifted players. but lacking that bit of mental fortitude and determination.

    As an Arsenal fan, I am still hurt that he left. We stood by his side during all of his injuries. He gave us 1 complete season and then left the season after. Obviously we never knew what was going on behind the scenes, now I can look at the situation and understand. However, it still reminds me how sad I was when he left and join a club rival. No denying the fact that he was one of the best strikers the EPL has ever seen.

I felt betrayed, angry and bruised after RvP left us to United and we had to give him the guard of honor the next season and all, but truth be told, Arsenal had no hunger to win any trophy. Paying of the stadium loan and satisfying the bare minimum (4th in EPL) was all they aspired.

    He also played a lot more games for the Netherlands than those names, in an era of increasingly pointless international football with stats padding against weak sides (he's not the only one, Lukaku and Rooney were even worse in that area). He scored like 1 goal at World Cup 2006, 1 at Euro 2008, 1 at World Cup 2010 when he was the lead striker in a Dutch team that reached the final and 0 at Euro 2012. Cruyff, van Basten, Bergkamp and Kluivert may have scored less but did so when it mattered.

SECONDLY, he said "the little boy inside me was screaming for Man United" when comparing United to presumably his only other choice in the summer of 2012 - Which was Juventus (Hence he spoke to Van Der Sar, who had played at both Juve and Man United). I had an EXCLUSIVE interview with RVP in 2020 (On my channel) and all of this was part of the research. KEEP UP THE AMAZING VIDS!

    Why wouldn't Arsenal offer a new contract to their best player? Do you seriously believe that he was offered contract extensions all those years he spent at hospital and suddenly once he's injury free Arsenal decided not to give him a new contract? Why would ANY club not offer their best player a new contract, if for nothing else then to sell him for more later? You do know that just because someone says something, it doesn't mean it's true?

He was just too big of a pussy to actually admit it, so he invented this bullshit story how Arsenal didn't offer him a new contract. Again, it makes absolutely no sense from a business stand point to let your best player leave for free. And Arsenal is a business after all. RVP basically wanted his cake and eat it too while not wanting entire Arsenal fanbase to hate his guts. Wenger stuck with him through his entire injury ridden career and as soon he had an injury free season he stabbed him in the back and left. The least he could have done is actually be honest about it. But you dont get that from snakes like he is.

    He can say whatever he wanted about the club's lack of ambition and whatnot, but he conveniently forgot that he was part of all the troubles we've had by being injured for more often than not. It was the club that stood behind him and backed him up when so many times people have been calling us stupid for hanging onto a player made of glass. And his thanks? One good season and he's off, joining our rivals. Even then, you know, a simple thanks and acknowledging the club and fans had been good to him would've sufficed, but no. He had to run his mouth the way he did, burning away every conceivable bridges as he went. Man U fans will have different opinions, but for Gooners, he'll always be our Anakin Skywalker.

Its a choice of his for him personally that I agree and understand. Arsenal wasnt going to put together a title winning team. The team at the time was just so subpar. I also like to think because of his departure that the management got their act together and started putting together some semblance of a team. We havent won the PL since then, but at least now the team feels much more on the same page. His career also deserved more recognition than it had at that point, at a club level I mean. He was class and absolutely lethal. Had he signed with a more ambitious club earlier Im sure he would have lots more silver to fill his cabinets

The stats tells a slightly different story, but the general opinion isn't that "RVP stuck through 6 seasons of no trophies" but more like "Arsenal stuck with him through 6 years of him never actually being fit to play". The annoyance Arsenal fans felt was that after sticking with him for all that time, they deserved more then one season. Ultimately its a bit false, because he DID have more then one good season. I think its kind of amusingly ironic that RVP ended up only getting one good season out of United in the end.
