For Arsenal Fans

So was the past 18 months of injury-free play an aberration? Or is this much ado about nothing?

Going nowhere, or trying to pump up the selling price?

Sky did an interview with Robin. It's a good watch.

Check this out.

Does this act as a soothing balm for the angry burn I feel at FIFA not making RvP a finalist for World Player of the Year (Messi, Xavi, and Ronaldo are up for that--they're okay, too, I guess)? A little, sure. If he doesn't make the XI, though, I'll be pissed. Nearly a goal a game in the calendar year for a top team in what is probably the world's most competitive league? Should be a lead pipe lock, right?

From The Guardian: According to the Dutch Footballing Association, Robin's going to be out for significantly longer than first feared. Hopefully Chamakh can fill in admirably. Also, apparently Mikael Silvestre has signed on with Werder Bremen.

...but Robin van Persie just scored a brace with two, well, really really good goals as Holland beat Mexico 2-1. Good to see that the Mexican commentators give the "gol" scream for the opposition, too.
