It’s no secret that Arsenal fans have a very big grudge against former striker Robin van Persie after the Dutch man decided to leave the Gunners in search of Premier League success at Manchester United.
It’s a wound that will never heal for Arsenal fans and when the club’s official Twitter account tried to praise their former Arsenal player, fans lost their shit and were quick to vent their frustration at the post.
Regardless of what you think of him now, this was a pretty special goal – and he scored it 10 years ago today pic.twitter.com/8Efpn6LkpQ

It’s clear to see that Arsenal fans still hold a massive grudge against van Persie but as always the United fans weren’t too far behind and were quick to remind Gunners fans of the Dutch mans success at Old Trafford.
