Re: The ARSENAL Thread - Spurs 1-1 Arsenal
Perhaps now all this mess surrounding his personal life looks to be clearing up he can get back to football. Few people can have had a more turbulent fledgling career!:
Early 2004: Shortly before his 3m transfer to the Arse, RVP is nearly lynched by a mob of 250 angry Ajax fans during a reserve game. After being wrestled to the ground and sustaining severe head and neck injuries and bruised ribs, he credits dutch coach Marco Van Basten for saving his life that day by throwing himself on top him and sheilding some of the blows.
October 2004: RVP smashes his BMW into the central reservation barrier on the M25 near St Albans, Herts, on his way to training. His BMW 635i overturned, skidded across the road and slid down a bank before ending up in a field. Apparently he used DB10 as an interpreter at the cop shop.
April 2005: RVP, super sub, comes of the bench to bury two excellent goals past Brad Friedel in the FA cup semi final vs Blackburn, but celebrations are muted after the Dutchling runs into Any Todd's outstretched elbow and is left midly concussed and with a heavily swollen face. Ouch.
June 2005: RVP is arrested on allegations of rape and is held in a Dutch jail for over 10 days. The case is still not resolved although the authorities appear to have distanced themselves from RVP's connection.
I swear the boy is cursed
What's next? Perhaps he will contract bird flu and infect the rest of the Premier league. Time for some good luck charms Rob...
... well, now i'm a bit more cheerful
