Cesc Fabregas and Robin Van Persie Embrace, Arsenal Fans React Accordingly

Arsenal fans watching Sunday's clash between Manchester United and Chelsea were greeted by an unsightly image in the tunnel in the buildup to the match. 

Two former fan favourites and Gunner captains, Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie, greeted each other in the tunnel with a warm embrace.

This much is normal. 

But considering both left Arsenal only to appear in colours most Arsenal types never thought they'd see them in, it was a tough moment to stomach.
