Gunners fans angry over Santos' request for Van Persie's jersey at halftime



They took to twitter to express their anger. Find some of the tweets below;

TV presenter Piers Morgan wrote: “If Santos really asked for, and got #VanPursestrings’ shirt as they walked off at half-time, he should never play for Arsenal again.”

Former Middlesbrough striker Jan Aage Fjortoft added: “Arsenal give Van Persie a goal. Van Persie gives Santos a Manchester United shirt.”

Gunners fans were fuming with Santos — joking that it was the closest he got to Van Persie all day.

Gunners blogger @LeGrove wrote: “Santos taking Robin’s shirt at half time? Priorities... and jeez, how old are you?”

Others included @bkooory, who added: “How pathetic would a player have 2 be, asking 4 an opponents shirt at half-time.”

Van Persie refused to celebrate his goal — despite being jeered by travelling Gooners.

He said: “I played at Arsenal for eight years and had a fantastic time. It was out of respect for the fans, players, manager and the whole club.”

United’s Rio Ferdinand added: “He showed a bit more class than their fans showed to him.”
