I work for a security firm. Hope he's got round the clock protection.

Because he's got nice hair
Robin van Persie has issued the following statement following an incident with Emmanuel Adebayor at Saturday's game:
"I am sad and disappointed by my former team-mate Emmanuel Adebayor's mindless and malicious stamp on me during today's match.
"We are both professional footballers and I know that the game is physical, I too have made hard and sometimes mis-timed challenges but never with the intention of hurting an opponent. He set out to hurt me today.
"I knew he was aiming for a collision because he changed the angle of his body to allow contact to be made. He moved backwards when his natural momentum would have taken him forward. I find that deeply disrespectful. He has shown a real lack of class today, to me and the fans.
"I do feel lucky that I have not suffered a greater injury. The contact was only centimetres from my eye. I have not received an apology from him, there were no words exchanged afterwards. He had his own agenda today and that is bad for football. It's bad for the game we all love.
"I want to make it clear that this has nothing to do with the result of today's match. We do not hide from that disappointment but I need to speak out about his behaviour."

1/ I thought Ade's goal celebration totally lacked class.
2/ I thought Arse fans were better than this but today I've seen they have even less class. In my view they're no better than rags and tottscum supporters
3/ I can't see how any further action can be taken against the player as the ref has seen the incident and dealt with it.
4/ I know nothing about the stamping incident, can someone please enlighten me
