I have no idea what happened to our defense today, it was pathetic. I kept waiting for Chelsea to make the necessary changes each time some random Arsenal player got in behind us, but it just never happened.

 

Fantastic game!!!! Maybe the most entertaining game I've seen all year. And the fact that Arsenal won doesn't hurt either

 

OK, seriously, did RVP do a Sieg Heil when celebrating his goal? It really looked like it and the sports commentator on Swedish TV mentioned it as well. What's wrong with him?

Robin van Persie celebration. Sieg Heil! Chelsea-Arsenal 3-5 - YouTube

 

After scoring his second goal in the incredible 5-3 win at Stamford Bridge, the Dutchman touched his right shoulder and then his left before extending his right arm towards the fans.

His action immediately drew criticism on Twitter, before video emerged of the celebration on YouTube with titles like, "Van Persie does Heil Hitler salute after Goal. Horrible."

On Sunday, Van Persie responded to the criticism on his own Twitter account, posting, "It has been brought to my attention of some ridiculous allegations concerning my celebration of one of my goals yesterday.

"It is totally ludicrous to suggest that my action of brushing my shoulder and pointing to my fans could be construed as anything else but of a showing of joy and celebration.

"To suggest this meant anything to the contrary is insulting and absolutely absurd as nothing else came into my mind."

 

He denies it, saying he was brushing his shoulder, but it doesnt look anything like brushing his shoulder in that video.

 

hmmmmmm

 

Thats what I was thinking.

 

he's just trying to be presidential

I thought it looked pretty suspect.

 

I gotta admit, watching the game I was like "what the hell is he doing???"
