I saw that lol.

Think it's important to distinguish that kind of banter from deliberately talking to the media about it but I agree it's a bit of a silly thing to do/say. I told him off about it on twitter actually! Told him to replicate Barca's style as much as he wants but not to behave like them off the pitch!

Also I have my doubts that Arsene will make a bid for him. He said he wants an experienced CB, which Cahill isn't particularly.

Sorry, he would only go to a bigger club than Villa.

Evra spoke to the media about it as well; hence the difference.

I also said that it wasn't on if he's being serious and that it's a silly thing to say/do. To be fair - Evra is a ****. Just generally. He's on a constant wind-up.

Actual interview

Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has labelled Barcelona “extremely annoying” and claims that their players complain too much.

The Dutchman, who picked up a red card in the Gunners' 3-1 Champions League loss at the Nou Camp earlier this month, also says his challenge on Lionel Messi in the match would not have made as many headlines had it been on Javier Mascherano.

"I really didn’t understand all the fuss about the foul I committed on Messi. Everybody got angry with me, but I didn’t treat him any different than I treat other opponents. Nobody would have complained about it if I fouled Mascherano," said Van Persie to De Telegraaf.

"Meanwhile, the Barcelona players tend to nag about everything that happens on the pitch. I was a bit disappointed with that. It’s something that the Chelsea players do in England.

"Barcelona are still a fantastic team, but they should really stop nagging and complaining that much. That’s becoming extremely annoying on the pitch."

He added: "I have a lot of respect for Barcelona. Is it possible to match what Barcelona are doing? I rate Barcelona even higher than Spain’s national side. However, every team can be beaten. I never felt any less than the Barcelona players on the pitch."

I agree with him though.. Still a mouthy ****..

"A club like Manchester City change their philosophy every year and Chelsea spent about €80 million [£70m] this season ... two clubs who had a big mouth before the season, thinking that Arsenal wouldn't play a role in the title race but we are still ahead of them. And just by playing our own game, through our own philosophy."
