According to Twitter Gary Linekar saying RVP didnt get on the Man Utd team bus.

LEt the games begin....

Wonder could it have been in the contract or some sort of agreement. Not to play against them for one season or something.

Unlikely a contract or agreement, SAF has some form for this sort of thing though, remember Rooney being rested v Everton, and with Hernandez in flying form then who knows. We'll find out in an hour or so I guess...

Hidalgo

If it was in his contract, it would probably have been in the public sphere by now.

Made him captain and all this week, but RVP at home is a better option than on the bench & coming on for the last 15 mins

He's left Rooney out of games at Goodison Park, I don't think he'd do it against them at OT for the same reasons.

If RVP isn't playing today, then he surely has picked up an injury or has some sort of illness.

I agree. Why would Wenger release a statement to all Gunners' fans requesting them not to 'Boo' him when he plays against them otherwise? He knows that RvP would definitely play against them.

He might just be late, who knows :P

Please let rvp be injured!
Being more realistic,he will play 100% injury is the only reason for him to be benched and heard nothing so if I was you I wouldnt be worried (I hope im wrong tho )

SteelyDanJalapeno

RVP has be spotted at OT according to SSN

Jax Teller

Lineker is probably just trying to wind people up .
Here's the tweet

“@GaryLineker: Just saw the Manchester United players board the coach, but no sign of Robin Van Persie. Left out or travelling with Arsenal team?”

Surely there would be better sources if he wasn't on the bus .

He's definitely playing today. He's definitely starting today. Might just be late for the team bus.


Giggsy Praised him ahead of the Arsenal fixture.

SSN just showed RVP arriving. Lineker obv just having a wee troll

Lemlin

I think it's a joke by Lineker. Would United have a team bus to go to their own ground?

Surely players make their own way from their homes.

bohsman

Why would the home team need to get a coach to the stadium?

They always arrive by bus. Shocking waste of carbon emisions alright

OwlsZat

The latest on RVP watch is that he was seen at OT buying a bovril and a pack of crisps...

That's BS, I heard it was a pie.

Went with:

Begovic
Riise Zabaleta Cuellar
Hazard (v) Michu Pienaar Cazorla
RVP (c) Ba Fletcher

Subs: Jaaaaaaaaask, Shawcross, Maloney, Clark

Carbo-loading.

He'll still only get 2 points in FF.

Just got out of bed to read this. This type of post should be banned, for fear of giving folks heart attacks.

Calmed down after read the rest of the posts.

the whole year inn

Any lineups new for the united game?

Jax Teller

#MUFC; De Gea, Rafael, Evra, Ferdinand, Evans, Valencia, Carrick, Young, Cleverley, Rooney, van Persie.

#AFC; Mannone, Sagna, Santos, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Arteta, Wilshere, Ramsey, Cazorla, Podolski, Giroud.

manual_man

Lack of pace in that Arsenal team. I wonder would Walcott have been picked if he'd scored FOUR against Reading

Steel Dog

Van Persie most captained this week.

Tevez most vice captained.

On a side note is anyone having issues posting on Boards.ie the last two days?

He has on FPL already.

Who_8_Paul?

Haha to all the non RVP owners

(I've probably jinxed us now and he'll get sent off or miss a peno...)

Fowler87

Everyone has him captain but its my first non 2 pointer captain in few weeks so gwan RVP!

Ace0x9

I really hate this game. Left Rafael as first sub.

Who_8_Paul?

RVP 3 shots, all on target. Good PPI

Hate the player, not the game.....

Max Power

Brought in Rafael this week, doing well so far. Have a feeling he will get booked though.

Rayne Wooney

I have Mata in my team, staying positive..






Please play

FatRat

So who to take?

Who_8_Paul?

Cool, Van Persie should be back on penos after rooneys brutal 1 there

El Horseboxo

Should have been RVP based on Ferguson's previous comments i'd have thought.

FatRat

Rooney misses a penalty. RVP should have taken it

omniscient_toad

Hah, let that be a lesson to you Ferguson you bastard, Van Persie is to take ALL the penalties!

Dempsey

Rooney's penalty sums up my season so far

No that'd be Rooney. Don't have him though.

Max Power

Madness Rooney taking the pen RVP all the way, not complaining though as I don't have either.

Lemlin

On behalf of all the non RVP owners, I'd like to thank Rooney for taking that penalty.

Jimmy Iovine

Have Rafael as my first sub. Also have Mata and Ba in my team though. Unless something crazy happens with either if them, Rafael should be subbed in .

FatRat

Come on Valencia, justify the transfer you clown. RVP goal, Val assist would be nice.

FatRat

FOR F*CK SAKE :pac:
