Van Persie slyly mocks Arsenal's transfer woes and defeat to Manchester United

Robin van Persie, it turns out, has favourited one tweet in the whole time he's been on Twitter, and it's a surprising one.

Finally Arsenal sign someone who can replace @Persie_Official. #AFC http://t.co/mpxomgG1V1

Well, surprising if you thought he still had any feels towards Arsenal, at any rate. The tweet in question then links to the Arsenal official account reporting the final score of the 8-2 victory there.

Of course, with football as it is, this will probably make the news and he'll have to do a 'doh, my shame, must've accidentally favourited it in my mentions, i apologise' nonsense of a non-apology, but you can't have it all.
