Arsenal v Aston Villa - Saturday 24 March - 15:00 GMT

[Syn]

Never felt so confident that Arsenal will win a home game all season.

And you know what that means..

Home win. 3-0; Robin Van fucking Persie (18), Gerv fucking inho (35), Robin Van fucking Persie (55)

[KSE Comedy Club]

I predicted 3-0 home win too!

ALEX McLEISH spotted the raw talent of a little-known Dutch kid during a UEFA Cup tie 10 YEARS ago.

But it was Big Eck's bad luck that Rangers had just splashed out £15million on Ronald de Boer, Claudio Caniggia and Tore Andre Flo when Feyenoord's Robin van Persie was available for £2.75m.

Feyenoord's Pierre van Hooijdonk scored twice in the 3-2 win but it was 18-year-old Van Persie who caught McLeish's eye.

And the Aston Villa boss admitted they will have their work cut out trying to stop the Dutchman at the Emirates today.

McLeish said: "Van Persie has raised his game to another level and has to be recognised as one of the best in the world.

"I came up against him when Rangers played Feyenoord and we knew then he was going to be a star.

"His finishing recently has been amazing and he can score all different types of goals."

But ex-Scotland World Cup defender Big Eck knows how he would stop him and confessed: "I might have used the old body-block against him."

They bought Flo and De Boer in 2000 and Cannigia a year later so how does that stop them buying RVP in 2003?

Nevertheless McLeish does a Wenger

[Syn]

He doesn't say anything about being close to signing Van Persie or not being able to sign Van Persie. He doesn't say anything about Caniggia and Flo. All he says is that his team played against Van Persie and he knew he was going to be great. That's all. The headline in The Sun 'I nearly signed Van Persie' is designed to mislead morons.

Very interesting that McLeish almost signed RVP!

[Marc Overmars]

Convinced we're winning this.

Which means we'll fuck up.

[Rors]

Returning to the scene of dejection and disappointment so soon.... I think it will still be etched raw on our psyches.

In other words, you're winning this one

[Power n Glory]

As long as Wenger keeps Ramsey out of the squad. He messes up the balance of the squad. Play Rosicky in the centre and the Ox on the left.
