Now I've told myself I wasn't going to get caught up in all the hysteria flying around left and right on this forum since last night's win and I would keep a level head about it. But...
Robin Van Persie has now scored 12 goals in his last 10 appearances for Arsenal...
Take a minute to think about that...
When was the last time we saw a return like that, for that long of a period, from anybody in an Arsenal shirt? How often does anybody do that, in any league, anywhere? Let alone in one of the toughest leagues in the world, against the best competition... (I'm sure starman will let us know)
Add on top of all of this, he's coming back from being out more or less all of 2010. Making something like a 15-20 appearances including national games, then coming back and being in better form than just about anybody in the world. He really is phenomenal.
I've said it before, and I still maintain the opinion that he isn't a player that you can make the cornerstone of your squad because of his injury history. But Jesus if the man could just stay healthy for more than 20 games out of a season... what a legend he could be.
