I agree with your first bit but can't understand why you've mentioned the booing?

Because in the eyes of the fickle, you're only as good as your last game. RVP wasn't great yesterday, so he's past it. If he scores a treble this week, he's back to world class form.

I wouldn't call myself fickle, I'd still say RVP is somewhere between world-class and very good regardless of yesterday.

Giroud is better than Van Persie? Hmmm. Suarez yes. Aguero possibly - but he's getting much better service than RVP, who's had a disjointed season through injury & the managerial change. It depends whether you're looking at who's in the best team or who's the better all round striker.

True. Van Persie is feeding on scraps at United this season. He is a class act. I wonder whether he regrets leaving Arsenal now. He could have been a legend had he stayed. I guess he has a Premier League winners medal as a result. Bet he would have loved to have played with Ozil and the in form Ramsey this season though.

Form is temporary, class is permanent

Meaningless football cliche #643 just nestled between "good feet for a big lad" and "struck that too well".
