It all started going south when Arsenal, despite boss Arsene Wenger’s best efforts, failed to convince captain Robin van Persie to extend his contract at the Emirates.
The striker smashed a total of 37 goals to help the Gunners finish third in the Premier League on the final day of the season.
But they decided to cash in on RVP, who opted for Manchester United in a £22 million deal.
He has since struck up a great partnership with Wayne Rooney and scored against his old club when they met in November.
