RVP hits back at Piers Morgan, sends personalized photo with EPL trophy

Manchester United striker Robin Van Persie has rubbed salt into the wounds of one of the biggest Arsenal fans around, TV show host Piers Morgan. Morgan had dubbed Van Persie ‘Van Pursestings’ after his 24 million pounds move last summer from Arsenal to Old Trafford and had been spewing vitriol about the Dutchman on twitter, especially when said Dutchman returned to the Emirates as a champion. But RVP had the last laugh, as Morgan was humiliated when Van Persie sent him a double sided framed photograph of him kissing the Premier League trophy with a personal message for the CNN loudmouth scribbled on top.

So. I just received a package from Manchester United press office. ‘Robin wanted you to have to this.’ — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) May 24, 2013

I will of course afford Van Pursestrings’ gift the respect it deserves. And use it as my loo doorstop in Beverly Hills… @persie_official — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) May 24, 2013

After all the grief I’ve given Van Pursestrings, he’s allowed a whack back.I’ll just have to take it on the chins.
