// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Arsene Wenger is hoping Robin van Persie can score at least 25 goals for Arsenal this season.[LNB] The Dutchman, who has finally been able to shake of his frustrating injury problems, topped the Gunners' scoring charts last term with 20.[LNB]He is hoping to better that tally this time around, with a flying start to the 2009/10 campaign suggesting he is more than capable.[LNB]Van Persie already has eight goals to his name this term and Wenger sees no reason why the Holland international cannot go on to provide his best-ever return.[LNB]"If you look at the chances he has had since the start of the season you cannot say he won't reach 25 goals," said Arsenal's French coach.[LNB]"Robin has taken much more responsibility because he is up front. He has committed himself to the club for a long period and he is at an age, 26, where a footballer becomes really efficient, mature and wants to win things.[LNB]"That is why I believe he can be the best passer in the league and the best goalscorer in the league. When you look at the goals he scores they are always impressive."[LNB]
