We will be in touch
Rumour going around that RVP has asked for a transfer!
Oh how us Gooners would laugh if it were true.
Yes we would all laugh but it's obviously not true
Rumour going round where exactly? Some Arsenal Fan forum?
Robin Van Persie?
Reindeer Von Pasty?
Reet Vehicular Pile-up?
Acronyming for the sake of it?
Rats deserting a sinking ship!!!!! 😆

United are a mid table team, RVP deserves better. He should go back to Arsenal
Oh dear. 🙂
After united's 1-6 humiliation at home to City a few years back I said there were fires burning at Old Trafford that could not be extinguished. The flames are creeping higher now and Moyes has absolutely no chance of putting them out.
Newcastle one up with 20mins to go........
He should come to us for the rest of the season and play some proper football:). Then Michael laudrup can take him with him to barcalona next season.

However, their 'fans' have hospitalised a child and caused damage to a service station.
I follow football, but why the Newcastle fans seem to think hooliganism is still acceptable is unbelievable.
0-1 😆
Not surprised RVP wants out.

Is it [u]all[/u] of the fans have done that? I'd be confident that the vast majority of fans would be upset by the actions of a few individuals. It's completely irrational of you to blame anyone and everyone who follows the team.
And by the way, RVP isn't an acronym.
Dear god! That was woeful! By RVP, and everybody else who never turned up !
He just walked off at Old Trafford, head down shaking his head. It's not looking good.
I think that might have been a reflection on his own performance, as much as anything else. Which was rubbish! We look like a mid table side at the moment. Almost Liverpool-esque 🙁

Clearly not all fans were involved, but there is a higher incidence if hooliganism related to this club over and above others. This was highlighted in a recent survey. I shall dig out a link for you if you wish?
RVP became a TLA as soon as the OP referred to him as such. It's not your place to tell anyone what is, or indeed, is not an acronym, specifically when the words are reduced to their constituent first letters.
Is this going to turn into a hooliganism bicker now? awesome.
I shall dig out a link for you if you wish?
Please do. I look forward to seeing how you arrive at your excessive generalisations.

Not my place? You think a lot of yourself. For your information: an acronym is a type of [i]abbreviation[/i] which is pronounced as a new word, like NATO or SARS. Something like FBI, or RVP, is simply an initialism. That's easy enough to check if you can find your way to a dictionary.

A three letter acronym [i]is[/i] a form of abbreviation and does not constitute the formation of a new word. The OP did exactly this with no prior reference to RVP standing for a persons name or an object (although I accept he said 'has asked for', implying a person).
In your head do you say 'OP' or 'O P' when reading posts? It makes a significant difference, yet your point fails dependant on which you choose.
Someone here spent last season talking about "...the gift that kept on giving..." Can't quite remember. Anyone care to own up?
Records at OT are certainly tumbling under DM 😉
Most number of arrests for football related incidents
Aren't statistics amazing?
If you understood anything about football or Newcastle United you would know that the trouble after the Newcastle - Sunderland derby involves the local halfwits, the vast majority are not football supporters who actually follow the team home or away. Also, it's got little to do with football really and is more the dislike between 2 cities. Absolutely brainless. If you took those away it would look completely different.
Newcastle fans actually have a very good reputation as travelling fans and are frequently described as other fans favorite visitors.
The 2 times the Geordie's came to the amex and had their bottoms spanked the away support were a good laugh on the train back to Brighton.

Two independent quotes there. Yes I agree, the idiots are in the minority and the rest will condone their actions. It's an absolute shame that in this day and age people associate football and allowable violence.
I'm not having a go at Newcastle fans, I simply pointed out there had been trouble. It could have been any team.
David Moyes spent years trying to get Everton above ManU in the league, now he's finally achieved it.

What a load of nonsense! :]
Three Fish, do me a favour and say 'TLA' out loud.
Kevj obviously took his 'annoying pills' this morning!
Why don't you bugger off to a thread you may have something interesting to say.

Hopefully.
you may have something interesting to say.
Sadly, unlikely.
😀 You guys 😀

Really?
but why the Newcastle fans seem to think hooliganism is still acceptable is unbelievable.
Yes you were.
Of course everything on Twitter is absolutely hard evidence and is completely accurate so it was quite justified!
Winston Dog, you are quite right. I missed the word 'some' and pointed the finger at all Newcastle fans, which isn't fair.
[url= http://tyneandwear.sky.com/news/article/92193/ambulance-for-girl-17-as-newcastle-fans-cause-disorder-at-services ]Sky news[/url] story corroborate Twitter. Like I did say though, it could have been any club.
the 17-year-old girl, a member of staff, was "feeling faint" but it was not clear whether she had been hit by a missile.
Not quite as dramatic as
is it?their 'fans' have hospitalised a child
Not condoning their behaviour at all but it's easy for anyone to put a different spin on events and to exaggerate the problems. TBH that really doesn't help and just smacks of the Daily Wail.
I agree with you, my initial comment was written prior to me reading the sky article.
It does seem as though you are trying to provoke a reaction.

kevj - Don't worry mate, you're won I bit and you got your reaction. 🙄
Anyway.... Despite us being bobbins, it's shaping up into one hell of a season. Goal of the season there from Osvaldo and Southampton, in a cracking game. And Stoke beat Chelski. Madness 😯

TEH IRONISOMETERING!!
it's shaping up into one hell of a season
It's like the gift that keeps on giving isn't it binbins?
Winston, there was nothing 'to win'.
[Irony] STW [/Irony] often has threads that reduce words to abbreviations within one or two posts.
The Newcastle fans comment was only relative due to someone mentioning the score and the fact that Newcastle were playing Manchester United today.
My opinion is as valid as yours is, hence posting on a 'forum'.
Three Fish, do me a favour and say 'TLA' out loud.
You do not understand the difference between what constitutes an acronym and what constitutes an initialism. Unless you are attempting to redefine these terms, it would probably make sense to stop arguing.
Or taking, as the case may be Bravisimo?
I've already started my campaign to bring King Kenny back 😆

He could only make things worse. If they could be. RVP and Roo gone in January...I would if I were them. 😀
You're such a mercenary Bravisimo 😉
Goal of the season there from Osvaldo and Southampton:
shazam!

Pick that out!!! It's a bit special, that! 😯
Wow! I was listening to that on the radio and they were going mad about it.....can see why now!
I know nothing at all about Newcastle fans, but I do know that Robin van Persie is quite often referred to as RvP in the media, by many folks generally and Gary Linneker in particular.
RVP does seem to have gone a lot more grey this season. I'm giving moyes this season and next before i get worried. I'll be glad see arsenal win the league this season...its only fair since they havent won a trophy for...actually how long has it been?
8 years. They'll bottle it after Christmas. As always. It's anyone's this season. Might have an outside punt on Liverpool. To sugar the pill if they actually do it
Looking forward to Wolves hosting United in the Championship next season 🙂
[quote=binners said]8 years. They'll bottle it after Christmas. As always.
You're thinking of Spurs. Arsenal tend to have a crap start and then come good. This year they're had a great start..
Naaah ... You're thinking of United
[quote=binners said]Naaah ... You're thinking of United
Not this year 🙂
I'm perversely quite enjoying the novelty of being a bit hopeless!
I suppose it's some kind of brief role reversal with the scousers 😉
The novelty might wear off after a few years 🙂
Leaving aside all the Utd hatin' for a minute...
Anyone else tired of Mourinho's after-match bullshitting already?

He seems to have lost the plot.
He's sounding increasingly like David Icke. It's all a conspiracy!!!
Or maybe... Just maybe... You're not half as good as you think you are?
Still amusing though

If it was true, which it isn't, it would be funny 😆
I'm not one to hold a grudge but the 'little boy' comment was a massive insult not just to AW's trust in him over the years but to the club and everything the club stands for,
For me personally, Robin Van Persie is everything that is wrong with football today,
Greed and a no loyalty,
He wanted trophies (understandable), The club was about (now) to enter into a new financial sustainable and competitive era, He couldn't repay the loyalty AW had put into many inconsistent, injury prone seasons for a couple more seasons and its because of this I will am enjoying Manchester United in the position they are,
I hope they don't make it to a top 4 spot, I hope RVP asks for a transfer request and gets refused, I hope the little boy in him fails miserably,
Not because I'm *sour but because he deserves the very large humble & Karma pie that he baked.
*I'm very sour.
