Robin van Persie was forced to take to Facebook on Tuesday to dispel rumours of a rift between himself and Arsene Wenger after the Dutchman was visibly
flabbergasted on Sunday when his boss replaced Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain -
Arsenal's best player on the day - with Andrey Arshavin, whose feeble
defending cost his side the game. Could the 28-year-old be at the end of
his tether in north London?

Maradona takes aim at his old rival Pele
The bitter feud between Diego Maradona and Pele only continues to escalate, and judging by the Argentine's latest comments,
which include branding his arch rival a mere puppet to the Fifa family,
before accusing him of being absent from civilisation for the past 20
years, it seems a reconciliation will never see the light of day.

Super Mario keeps Man City riding high
'Super' Mario Balotelli emerged from the
bench against Tottenham Hotspur and soon left his mark on the game:
winning and scoring a 95th-minute penalty.
However, Spurs boss Harry
Redknapp was left fuming as he was adamant the Italian should have been sent off for a stamp on Scott Parker's head moments earlier.

Boateng whipped out of shape
The girlfriend of AC Milan midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng, Melissa Satta, has claimed that the couple's frisky sex life
- where she "likes to take control" - is the real reason behind the
player's recent injury troubles, after the Rossoneri ruled the
24-year-old out for four weeks with a 'muscular problem'.

Abramovich adds another pawn to his chessboard
There seems no stopping Andre Villas-Boas and
his rebuilding plans at Chelsea, as the arrival of Gary Cahill is
likely to be the first of many through the revolving door.
However, the manager's policy of squad rotation and the disposal of several experienced heads from the team has made for an uncertain state of affairs - almost as much so as David Luiz's defending.
However, the manager's policy of squad rotation and the disposal of several experienced heads from the team has made for an uncertain state of affairs - almost as much so as David Luiz's defending.
The ruthless style exhibited by the
34-year-old gaffer sees the Brazilian stopper likely to become the
sacrificial lamb, while Frank Lampard remains in the cold despite his
recent goalscoring form.
But chairman Roman Abramovich has come up with a solution - treat the game as a chess board!
Enter Ashley Cole as the queen, John Terry as the king and an unhappy Lampard as a ... rook? Told you it was confusing - and that's not even taking into account the conundrum involving Didier Drogba or Fernando Torres.
