Van Persie: I Told You So
Despite being ruled out of competing for the title during the summer, Arsenal have surprised everyone, with a great start in the Premiership and Champions League.
One person who is not surprised is Arsenal striker Robin van Persie, who has enjoyed a great spell of form. He commented on Arsenal’s form, saying that he already knew how capable his club were.
“At the start of the season I said we will surprise - and everyone was laughing,” he said.
“Now 12 games into the season, everyone says, ‘Ooh, look at Arsenal, they are a good team’. This I knew before and my mind has not changed.
“I started training early this season with Theo [Walcott] and after, when the rest of the lads came back in, I saw a great togetherness and belief and big quality. This is what I saw day in, day out.
“If we can stay together we can do amazing stuff in the future. We are progressing every week we play.
“If we just play our normal game, not many teams can stop us. We can win trophies. Why not? This is our aim.”
