Good Bye RVP!

[Power n Glory]

i'm not sure i said it was double standards did i?

most people were under the impression that he 'loved' the club. being supporters, we are naturally upset that we are losing our best player and our captain, hence the reaction. everything isn't linked to a media report or a statement from the club - in most cases it is based on anger and frustration. that's how being a supporter works, nothing too complicated. people read his statement on its own and that was enough. if a player wants to stand up and talk in that way, then expect a backlash.

Anger and frustration is understandable. But RVP hasn't said anything unexpected, we all assumed he wanted something more for his career way back last summer but knew he'd leave. But now, a few stories linking him with a move to another club, it's all about the money and his head has been turned. Rubbish. People are emotional right now. But months earlier, everyone knew we'd never offer him a massive contract and every single top level club has that advantage over us. Whoever he'd be linked with, they'd be able to offer more than we could. We all knew this. But this is heat of the moment talk and it's like common sense has gone out of the window.

fans have turned on rvp after reading his statement. they didn't like the tone of it.

this isn't about being sensible or implementing logic, it's called being a football fan. reacting to news that our best player is leaving - what did you expect? emotion is one of the biggest parts of being a fan.

Please stop with that talk about 'being a fan' because you have no problem applying sensible logic to other areas we discuss such as the benefit of selling RVP now over keeping him out of spite.

i'm explaining why people have reacted as they have. i haven't.

if it derails your point that's not my problem - it's just an explanation.

I can understand the reaction is based on emotion which is why what everyone says about the player we've watched and supported for 8 years isn't all that accurate. He's never come across as a guy motivated by money, we've seen it over the years and we've all said said over the past year that if he leaves, it won't be because of the money.

It doesn't derail the point I'm making at all because I understand why people are upset and there is no need for an explanation. In the heat of things, people just want to vent and shout abuse. But when the dust settles, we can probably return back to this point and people will start to see some sense and realise we're in serious trouble as a club if we don't sort out certain polices.

In my expert opinion, I'd have to say van persie has a good touch for a big rapist.

Yes I agree, RVP is a ****

I don't know how you guys didn't see this coming, we signed two strikers which IMO was a clear sign he was on his way out. I said in fact that I felt Podolski was his replacement and it looks very likely.

RVP wants to pick up a few medals at his age, he doesn't believe he has a chance here, I agree with him. How can you not after 7 years of failure and the same pattern.

We need a change, we desperately need a change because we're just treading water at the moment, it's shameful how small time we've become in 7 years.......we honestly believe we can keep top players but coming 4th every season and investing peanuts, this club is in total denial!

I say good luck to RVP, hope he picks up a few medals before the end of his career, he'll certainly be working under a manager that lives in the real world as oppose to this pipedream Wenger lives in.

Maybe if that disgraceful **** wasn't made of glass we would have won something already. He's as much to blame as anybody for not being part of a trophy winning season. He can go fuck himself - hope he breaks all his fucking limbs and never plays again.

And I thought Stoke fans were bad!
