Expected response from RVP. Even if he is disillusioned with the GIC, he is never going to admit it in public. Besides no matter how much a father figure Arsene is to some of the players, their refusal to continue to be part of the project (Cesc and Nasri before and possibly now RVP) is indication enough of the lack of trust.

Robin Van Persie wrote:I WAS NOT HAVING A GO AT THE BOSS ON SUNDAY

LET me start by putting the record straight.
I was not having a go at the boss on Sunday. I was just sad to see Alex leave the pitch as he just gave the assist for our only goal.

... I was not questioning his judgment. I know it's not my place to challenge what Arsene Wenger does. He is the boss, he makes the decisions and that's it, end of story. I have worked with the boss long enough to know there's always a good reason behind his decisions, and there was again on Sunday. When Arsene makes a decision, it is based on a lot of information that everyone else might not know about and he will never betray. I admire him so much for that.

As he said after the game, he doesn't have to explain his substitutions to anyone. He was right to remind everyone that he has been in the job 30 years and made 50,000 substitutions, why on earth should he have to justify each and every one of them?

He has all the information, he knows when a player is carrying a small injury, or has been ill, or is tiring. Arsene's remarkable success in the game is proof enough that his decisions are made from knowledge and experience. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had a calf injury. We did not know that but the boss did and brought Andrey Arshavin on.

I have a lot of respect and admiration for Arsene Wenger. He is one of the best football coaches in the world, with a brilliant record of success here at Arsenal. I wouldn't be here or the player I am without him. The manager and I are fine and my relationship with the club is good. I don't want anyone misunderstanding the situation here for a moment.There is no problem, there is no conflict and there is no controversy. The boss knows that, I know that, the players all know that. But it's important the Arsenal fans know that and that people in the game know that.

We are all committed to doing the very best we can to bring success to The Emirates. We are not giving up on a top-four finish, no way. Losing to Manchester United was a setback, but it is not a knockout blow. The way this season is going I think it's pretty safe to say there will be a lot more surprises before the Premier League season is over. There's plenty of games still left, we have recovered from reverses like this before and we will win again. So anybody writing us off is making a mistake.This could still be a good season for us. We have the FA Cup to look forward to and the Champions League. We will all be giving 100 per cent to make sure we bring one of those trophies home, hopefully both of them.
Let's all stick together and fight.

Why the need for a comment Robin if it's nothing?

Prove it Robin sign a new contract................ Yeah we know the answer to that and your real thoughts on this subject

As side of the usual AKB brainwashed comments ("well said Robin, We love you Robin

:blah:.....
Some of the FB comments where quite funny.

"What about the other 60,000 that also boo'd the sub?"

"Robin! I think Arsene's hacked into your account."

My reaction on his Facebook:
"The only way to show your faith in Wenger is to sign a new contract."

He probably will never read it of course.

Seems like there has been a crisis meeting, and the players have been put on PR duty, in defence of the "almighty one"
Won't work though, and we all know what RVP was thinking and probably has been for sometime.

Exactly. That piece was written by one of the club PR cÃºnts.

Van Persie is the last of the real greats that we have. Chamberlain does look amazing already and you can tell Walcott is jealous by the way he blamed him for not being where is wasnt for the few misplaced passes early on.
Anyway yes its shocking the club the manager and the board are shocking.
There does not seem to be anything in place to stop our slide.
Kroneke has killed the club stone dead. Wenger has gone from a God to a clown.

Cards on the table I too want kroenke gone but this path that the club is on that is seeing us become an also ran has been instigated by our former main shareholder who we are not meant to slate purely cos he is dead

kroenk has slipped into his role overseeing this penny pinching, shit team but major profits scenario that was already in place

Red Member · Post by **Red Member** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 1:38 pm

it may well be something that Kroenke has inherited but the fact is he is in that position now and has done nothing to change anything has he?

at least before Kroenke we were competing for trophies, now we are merely competing in them.

what should be of most concern is that Kroenke would be quite happy to see us not in the Champions League or the Europa League as long as he can still generate profits.

the way things are going he will be trying to sell "Survival Sunday" merchandise in a couple of years time.
