Van Persie out as Internationals take their toll

Robin van Persie will be out for at least a month after injuring his knee playing for Holland.
Now although hating Arsenal with a passion is a past time of mine I am actually upset by this news, he was the key striker in my fantasy team.
Van Persie is going to miss a number of crucial games for the Gunners. Both Champions League matches and fixtures against Liverpool and Manchester United back to back after this weekend's Bolton match.
Arsenal have shown some impressive form this season, and have scored freely and defended strongly.
Fabregas has been the key player for them without a doubt, but missing Van Persie could seriously damage their run. He has scored some absolute humdingers this year, and although Adebayor has shown glimpses of class, he is not yet a complete premiership player.
So anyway, I'm going to have to find a replacement for Van Persie which does upset me, but the thought of Arsenal dropping down the table puts a wry smile on my face.
