Persie-verance Pays Off
4 comments September 21st, 2004
I for one have never doubted Robin van Persie.
One need only flick back to my original posts during pre-season. I came away from the friendly with Barnet raving about a player with vision, flair, and a thunderous shot.
Last night, back at Underhill, the Dutch-U21 Skipper made his debut for our now-managerless Reserve team, and netted a superb brace.
With Arsene Wenger present to watch the returning Sol Campbell, van Persie will have given him plenty think about ahead of Sunday’s game with ailing Manchester City.
In other news, our hideously ugly yet surprisingly talented goalkeeper Mark Howard has signed professional terms with the club.
And yes, I spent an entire article yesterday building up Liverpool. And yes, they lost. So really I should spend today hyping up Kevin Keegan’s side in a strange attempt to work some reverse psychology ahead of the weekend.
I won’t though.
I will instead direct you to this article, just because I like it.
Adieu.
