What a buy Robin Van Persie has been for Manchester United. Seemingly well over the injury problems which peppered his Arsenal career, the Dutchman is having a huge effect on the Red Devils’ title tilt with both his goals and assists.

In Saturday’s late game in the FA Cup, the Dutchman, in cameo role at the Boleyn Ground, produced a last-gasp equaliser which saw him control Ryan Giggs’ long-pass with the most beautiful of touches before firing home with his right peg.

Genius. And I say that as an Arsenal fan trying to hold back my tears of sorrow/bitterness.

   How about Giggsy’s sublime long pass?

   A beautiful goal.

   It was a strange second half, West Ham looked confident and United didn’t seem that bothered.

   Once Giggs missed that header I feared it was over for United.

   Not so. One sublime pass later and the rest is history.

   Looking forward to Luton in the next round.

   Not entirely unlike Liverpool’s third against Sunderland…

   @Jarren. If we do win, it is either Fulham or Blackpool next.
