Saturday Sundae: Van Persie's shirt plus football's meanest referee

Man of the day Robin van Persie: Scored three, then sent a nose-ringed Pirates of the Caribbean fan into brilliant televised paroxysms at the end (pictured) – by gifting him his sweat-soaked shirt. Protest of the day The Football League fans who skipped the first five minutes of their games, taking a stand against the Premier League's child-snatching Elite Player Performance Plan – set to make poaching smaller clubs' youngsters even easier and cheaper. Stats of the day Swansea's Danny Graham became the 30th Premier League player to score a goal and an own goal in one match – while Bolton carried on conceding. Only one other side (Barnsley in 97-98) have conceded as many as Bolton's 27 in their first 10 Premier League games. Mr Consistent Roy Hodgson: The West Brom coach described his former club Liverpool in his programme notes as "formidable opponents" before losing 2-0 to them – exactly the same phrase he used about Northampton before the Cobblers beat Roy's Reds at Anfield last season. Biggest misery guts Christopher Sarginson: The referee booked Wycombe striker Jordan Ibe for celebrating his wonder strike against Sheffield Wednesday with members of his family in the crowd. Ibe is 15 years old. Sarginson plans to spend the rest of the week padlocking shut the gates of every playground in Buckinghamshire. Plus: question of the day If City beat United 6-1 , United beat Arsenal 8-2 and Arsenal beat Chelsea 5-3 , what will the score be when City play Chelsea?
