This is a really good interview, love how he had a go at himself about the pen and drooled over Paul Scholes.
That's a world class player in his peak
This is a brilliant interview. I love him 
Brilliant performance other than the penalty. I'm sure we will see him blast it from now on.
Nice interview, that.
I like that interview. Classy guy
Liked his interview a lot - instead of focusing on the hattrick, he thinks about the penalty and wants to improve that. Thats the spirit
Very good interview.
He changed his mind last minute and said "feck it, I'll put it in the goalies hands and score in the 92nd minute instead".
He is the best in the league isn't he?
Probably the best 'out and out' striker in the world.

Winding up my mate on Twitter who's resorted to the old, he'll get injured, and the, you're a glory hunter vibes. Good laugh.
Can you blame him after enduring through the "service" he got from carrick?
Jamie reckons it looks like he changed his mind.
About 5 minutes after RVP said he changed his mind.

Good to see him being hard on himself for the penalty... it was ridiculous and he'll learnt from it.
I don't think there are many footballers who could miss a penalty that badly and then go on to score a hat-trick... it shows fantastic mental strength and character. Well done that man.

Not sure what I think about this but a lot of people say if a foul is committed against one player, he shouldn't be taking that penalty;
Some stats would be interesting on this subject, if there is correlation between success and not being victim of the penalty foul

He then claimed the third goal was the best, 6 minutes after RVP said it was the best, despite claiming the first was the best earlier.
What did he say about Scholes?
I must admit, I was thinking all sorts of shit after that penalty regarding how his season would go. Like you say, amazing mental strength.
Could someone post what he said in the interview please?
I remember a Young Van Persie fighting our young players in a Carling Cup game. I think it was Danny Simpsons he nearly headbutter, it was around the center line towards the right sideline. He was so aggressive then, kind of Alan Smith in his young days as well. I wanted him in our team then.
I did not want him this time around because of our dare need in midfield but he will do for now.

I still can't believe it.
Great thing about RVP is some players would've shrunk having missed a penalty like he did but he simply brushed himself off and got on with business. You need more than just talent to play for United and today Robin showed he's got it in the head as well as the feet. For me he's now the man.
Needs the Jaws soundtrack...
Why do people hate him? I love him so much, he makes fun, takes it well when it is his turn. He is transparent to me and that I respect. Some people will just look off and not type anything.
Yeah.. Still cant believe we actually signed Arsenal's captain.. Never thought it would be possible.
Best striker in the league if not in the world at the moment. Him and Rooney up front when he is ok will be something special.
I thought he had but couldn't remember whether it was him or Le Tiss who'd said it about the first one.He's fecking brilliant.

We might well fare worse no doubt. They always raise their game against bigger teams.
Responsible for the first ever United goal i have no recollection of ten minutes after the event.
Never crowdsurfed a celebration at a football game before.

Ruud is back!
Hopefully his movement will mean more goals from corners, a la Ronaldo, even if he'll not be quite as prolific in the air.
That was a fecking great header.

Just listening to RVP on MUTV. I like this lad, he is so disappointed with that penalty. He has high standards and is a perfectionist. I love that.
