    Re: Van Persie confirms he WILL NOT extend his contract.
    I would blame the club for having a relatively low wage cap given competitors - Torres was earning 170k a week last season for doing f all most of the time whereas RVP made them a one man team and is single handedly responsible for their cl position.

    Re: Van Persie confirms he WILL NOT extend his contract.
    People are acting like Van Persie had 10 great seasons and is the reason why Arsenal are not relegated!

    Lets be honest now, he had 1 good season. Henry left in 2007 and rvp only stepped up to the plate 4/5 years and countless injuries later. Even Adebayor out shadowed him in 07/08.

    We will move on easily without him i rather have a team than all the focus being on this one player (eg fabregas, rvp) things shouldn't be centred around one player its unhealthy. We don't need a ****ing marquee player we're a ****ing team and we are Arsenal football club.

    Why the feck do we owe Van Persie trophies, he ****ing owes us after so many injury plagued seasons as we still showed faith in him. He scored all these goals and still we won nothing. If he hadn't missed that sitter against AC Milan maybe things could have been different.

    Did we owe Manuel Almunia trophies as well? i mean he had one good season just like van persie.

    BTW Liverpool fans please stfu stop ****ing lording it over arsenal fans its not the 1980's anymore.

    Still doesn't make sense lol - why not United or Liverpool if red was the decider?

    You also know you're struggling when you haven't won anything in over 7 years and struggle to hold onto your best players constantly.
    Champion's League football every year without fail, a brand new super-stadium that we're well on our way towards paying off, stability that has led to AFC having one manager for 16 years whilst LFC have a new one every single year and a squad that is vastly superior to LFC's.

    You'd love to be in Arsenal's position, wouldn't you?

    Well no other club has ever build a more expensive stadium than the Emirates. Not particularly atmospheric granted, but still a truly world class venue by any measure.

    I laughed.

    And no, not really if it means I have to be as smug as most of the Arsenal fans on this site are.

    Back on topic...

    Apparently RvP will be holding contract talks with Arsenal this weekend/start of next week.

    Not as black and white as it first seemed. Either he's doing a Wayne Rooney, or he's been promised changes behind the scenes.

    Yeah, you've been successful in that.

    We'd still have Rafa if it wasn't for **** owners but as it happens we've had 3 since him actually.

    Our best players ****ing off because of a lack of ambition in the football club?

    Yes, I'd love that.

    You'd love to win a trophy wouldn't you?

    You mean like Alonso, Mascherano and Torres didn't? Only now Liverpool's best players are Downing, Adam and Spearing

    Think building the Emirates is pretty damn ambitious...

    Best of luck in the Europa League, its lucky that you won the Capital One Cup because you guys couldn't qualify through the League!
