Why is everyone saying Berbatov would fit in well at the Arse? This is freaking weird. Both us and them play quite a similiar style which he is too slow and laboured for that. He doesn't fit in with us, he definitely won't with them

I wouldn't really say we play anything like Arsenal to be honest. They like the patient build-up, he'd be perfect for that.
Very odd. I think he'll come on but from the quotes by the Netherlands manager it looked like he was going to play 45 minutes today.
They also play through the middle, most of our attacking comes down the wings.
I think he'll come on, it will be how he leaves the pitch at the end that will spark the next set of rumours and ITK bullshit.
The fact he's not playing shows that they are preparing for life without. What's the point in bringing him on for 20 minutes
I think it makes sense though if he's leaving. Wenger may perhaps put him on for the last 10 minutes to send goodbyes to the Arsenal fans all over the world in their shirt for the last time
Wasn't he supposed to ay something like 45 minutes to make sure he was picks for the Dutch game?
He'll clearly come on towards the end to say his final farewell...
Its obvious innit.
Still not on with 30mins to go. Arse 4-0 up though.
Also SATA, Arsenal play nothing like us at all. Two 100% different styles of football.

I'm going to watch this to see what happens with v.Persie, if anything at all
The man is on now replacing Poldoski
'Ere we go, 'ere we go, 'ere we go.
He is on.
So he gets around 20 minutes.
He's taken the captain's armband.

How very dare he.
Still, he wanted 45 minutes yet Wenger only gave him 20. It's a sign, dammit! 
What time is the golf on?
Is he being booed?
Heard it too. Not sure if it's the Arse fans or the Koln ones, i see no reason for the latter to do that though
All comes down to the post match wave then.
Unless he goes off injured.

he's taken the armband? well thats it then hes staying
Can we have a minute-by-minute analysis of his body language?
Arsenal better not injure our player
Yeah he took it as he came on.
Still runs as if he's recently had a broom handle up his arse
That's not the sort of thing I was after, but thanks for trying. Is he looking like someone who's floating across the turf like he's being lifted by a few hundred thousand butterflies, safe in the knowledge he's gotten his dream move?
Or even anything close?
....
Was he wafted on mellifluous zephyrs, hoisted on gossamer wings? Nah, it'll be Manchester airport.
I get the feeling this isn't happening lads.
I'm surprised he got the armband. I suspect Arsene isn't completely resigned to keeping him in the long term.
Blimey, some loud booing aimed at The Pers then.
You cant read anything into this. As it stands he wants to leave.
he is just being a professional. He isnt a Tevez.

That commentary was nuts.
Meh anti-climax
Nothing happened there

I think that was a clear indication that he is staying/going/signing a new deal.
Definitely. Only one way this is going to end.
What were you guys expecting, a Hazard-esque send off despite him being away from home?
him scoring a goal and revealing a t-shirt with the words: In SAF I trust
I've read reports that he did cartwheels down the tunnel screaming "UNITED!!!"
