Jack Whitehall Rants About Robin Van Persie On A League Of Their Own

No Arsenal fan may be more bitter about Robin Van Persie's 2012 move to Manchester United than Jack Whitehall.

The 'League Of Their Own' panelist ranted about the Dutch striker when also eulogising about another Netherlands legend, Dennis Bergkamp on this week's episode.

"Dennis Bergkamp performed consistently over 11 years at Arsenal. He won three league titles and four FA Cups and ended his career a legend."

"Dennis Bergkamp could take off his shoes and walk through a field of human faeces and medical refuse then get to the end and scrape the debris from underneath his toenail, flick it onto the floor of a toilet bathroom and that skid mark would still have a greater footballing legacy than Robin van Persie."

Van Persie left the Emirates for £24m and his phenomenal debut season at Old Trafford won United their twentieth league title and the last of Sir Alex Ferguson's 27 year reign.
