Batman not required as Robin comes to the rescue…

The run of spectacularly bad headlines continues.
Robin van Persie is one of the rawest, yet most exciting young talents I’ve ever seen in this country. Back on the 10th July I told you that his performance at Barnet had me “drooling”, and I think that kind of ability is now beginning to shine through.
His last minute equaliser in yesterday’s 2-2 draw against Southampton was one of pure, expolsive brilliance.
His step-overs and mazy dribbles are reminiscent of Cristiano Ronaldo.
His perceptive passing and upright posture trigger comparisons with Bergkamp.
He shoots with the ferocity of Hasselbaink, whilst his arrogance and passion inspire association with Henry.
By the end of this season, he will be the heir apparent to DB10’s throne.
A 2-2 draw with Southampton is no disaster, especially when you consider the nature of the game. We didn’t play particularly well, and were in fact losing with just a few minutes left.
Plus, Man U lost to Pompey.
Harry’s a Gooner, don’t you know.
Happy Halloween.
