Omg Robben :lol :lol
We're talking about people overrating RVP on the back of 18 months of good football.
3 of the last 4 seasons he's been great.
We all know he loves him.
We know, believe me. It's already on the "things to blame Roy Hodgeson for" list.

YOU'RE SHIVERING?
Might not have reached the heights before this season, injuries being a big problem but this season was no luck.
Aggers gonna sort him out

Stats can be misleading though.
Last season, Rooney played 40 times for Manchester United and was directly involved in 30 goals.
3 in 4, that's really good...but it was his worst ever season for United.
I can't really remember back well...but even in those seasons where RVP had some good stats...I don't remember him having what I'd describe as "great" seasons.

Awesome Animals you up for FIFA later tonight? I want to play some tonight!
RVP has been a shining light in a shit Arsenal squad so its easy to notice him.

Of course! After the games?!
It's easy to go unnoticed when you have players like Cesc Fabregas in your side. Cesc had always been the star of Arsenal until he recently left. They also had Arshavin when he was playing better and RvP never had to hold them up by the scruff of the neck like he did this year.
He's always been a top class player, though.

Karma for the World Cup final that handball. The Netherlands can only blame themselves for this loss, they wasted too many good chances, Denmark buried one of their few opportunities. Entertaining enough game, expected worse.
I don't think anyone doubts his ability as a top class player.
He's always been very talented but he's never really shown it consistently.
You'll have to call up Heskey to execute that plan.
Nervous is not how I feel. Shattered would be a better word. RVP has let me down....
True words but we never should have lost that game. We blew chance after chance in front of goal. Disappointing avid shocking.
Think that's unfair. He's certainly not played well today, but as it's been said, very very few players are absolutely brilliant, all the time.
He's certainly not in the same tier as Zidane, Baggio, or Heskey.
We have Andy 'The white Emile Heskey' Carroll instead.

Yeah great tournament so far after 3 games. Now lets hope Ronaldo, Pepe and Coentrao score own-goals or get red cards.

Very nice, but I'd probably edit that before a mod sees it
Football related and tagged properly, can't see how it goes against rules.
