The players are starting to sound more and more like turnip every day. Only the other day Jack was on about "showing great commitment" coming from 2 down to draw with the mighty West Brom and these quotes from RVP are word for word what turnip spews at every chance.

I must confess I didn't read all of the article, I saw the quotes about barca linked from a blog then remembered fabregas giving those a guys a good rimming pre-barca away 
Look, whether you agree with these comments or not, whether you agree with the project or not at least Van Persie is not afraid to stick up for the arsenal which makes him captain material in my book.

I know we're struggling for leaders in this current side but I think RVP is too much of a loose cannon to be Captain. He too often loses his head, and then gives away fouls and picks up unnecessary bookings.
Would much prefer that he put all his energy into remaining fit and concentrating on getting the best out of his own game, rather than having to worry about fighting battles for others. Sorry, not for me.

Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has admitted their quest for silverware has floundered as they are 'not good enough'.
Arsene Wenger's men were in contention for four trophies in February but have crashed out of three competitions in the past few weeks.
Their shock Carling Cup final defeat to Birmingham was followed swiftly by a UEFA Champions League at the hands of Barcelona and an FA Cup quarter-final defeat against Manchester United.
The Gunners remain in contention for the Premier League title but are five points adrift of United with a game in hand and Van Persie accepts they have to learn the lessons of their previous disappointments to end the club's six-year trophy drought.
"We always do our best at Arsenal and always want to win," the Holland international said.
Reality
"On a number of occasions we have been very close but, at the last moment, it's often not good enough. That's the reality.
"It's very frustrating when you lose, especially as a team when we're so close. But we have to look forward and now it's up to us to change all that.
"I firmly believe in the team, Arsenal and myself and I'm positive we will win prizes."
Van Persie has rejected suggestions that he could consider moving away from Emirates Stadium in a bid to secure more honours.
He added: "Absolutely not. I'm happy here, I have a contract with Arsenal and I fully respect that."
Irritating
Van Persie, who saw red at Camp Nou as Arsenal's European dream was ended by Barcelona, hit out at the Spanish side for the way they complained to the referee throughout the match.
And he accused Premier League rivals Chelsea of adopting similar tactics.
He said: "The Barca players were always complaining and moaning and that's something I dislike about them.
"In England, Chelsea players do the same. Barca are a great team but they don't have to exaggerate their continuous moaning, otherwise it becomes very irritating on the pitch."

The depressing thing is that who else is there? Vermaelen is dead and the only other player that is anything like captain material is a 19 year old kid.I Hate Hleb wrote:I know we're struggling for leaders in this current side but I think RVP is too much of a loose cannon to be Captain.

Says it all really
I don't think Van Persie should be the captain, for the same reasons that have been mentioned here already. Never match fit for a whole season and he loses his head too many times.
However, I do think that Van Persie is one of the few players who really care about this club. So I hope he stays here for a long time.

Re: RvP
Why because of some pointless interview?
He couldn't captain a fishing trawler.
