Hey people,this is what makes me an Arsenal fan,i'm ready to always share my delight and grief of being an Arsenal fan.
So today i bring good news as our own very captain fondly called RVP (Robin Van Persie) or as Victor Ikepba calls him Van Passing *laughing*.

Van Persie in the Middle

Robin van Persie has been named as the Professional Footballers’ Association Player of the Year. The Arsenal captain has been in sensational form all season, scoring 27 times in the league and 34 goals in all competitions. And the Dutchman says he is honoured to receive the award.
“If other people are saying it, it is special, but it is even more special if your opponents are saying it,” he said. “It is very special because you are playing against them week in week out and every single player does everything to win and in the end if they make up their minds that I’m the best player it is a big honour.”
Van Persie was however quick to share the glory with his Arsenal team mates.
“Without them I could not have achieved it,” he said. “For example Theo Walcott, he has given me more than 12 assists and I do really appreciate that.”

Kyle Walker
Tottenham Hotspurs’ right back, Kyle Walker, went home with the Young Player of the Year and the 21-year-old who beat Sergio Aguero and Danny Welbeck to the award says he is shocked to receive it.
“I was a bit surprised because defenders don’t normally get these awards and get the limelight as much as the centre-forwards,” he said. “If you look at the people I was in with then it is a great honour to get the award and hopefully there is more to come.
“It is always an honour to be selected by the people you play against and, like I say, hopefully I can get a few more of these and some medals with Tottenham along the way.”
Both players were also selected in the Premier League’s Team of the Year.
