Robin Van Persie was an 'A------e,' Says Pierre Van Hooijdonk

Former Netherlands striker Pierre van Hooijdonk has revealed he thought Robin Van Persie was an "a------e" after a spat between the two at last summer's World Cup.

Despite the former Manchester United and Arsenal striker scoring four times in the tournament, Van Hooijdonk had suggested that Van Persie should have been left out of the team, to which the latter replied by telling his former Feyenoord team-mate to "stop causing problems."

It would seem Van Hooijdonk has not forgotten Van Persie's comments, as he reignited the feud on Dutch TV.
