CNN host Piers Morgan, who replaced Larry King, is an ardent Arsenal fan. Last summer, one of Arsenal’s biggest stars, Robin Van Persie, joined English Premier League juggernaut Manchester United. Van Persie helped Man United host another premier league title and Piers Morgan took to twitter to publicly complain… all… season… long.
What a sickening betrayal of Wenger too - the man who stood so loyally behind @Persie_Official through years of injury. #VanPursestrings

With every goal #VanPursestrings scores for United, another little piece of me dies inside. He's slowly killing me.

This is like waiting to see a girl who cheated on you walk out with the men she cheated with - and be expected to cheer. #VanPursestrings

So seeing Van Persie finally win that trophy that Arsenal crushed Morgan. And Robin Van Persie didn’t want to pass up an opportunity to rub it in. So Robin Van Persie sent a photo of him kissing the trophy and sent it to his biggest former supporter, Piers Morgan.

Advantage: Robin Van Persie.
I will of course afford Van Pursestrings' gift the respect it deserves. And use it as my loo doorstop in Beverly Hills... @Persie_Official

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.
