CHINESE CHEQUERS: Birmingham City's new owners YOU CAN'T DUTCH THIS: Van Persie scores the opener before Arsenal threatened to run away with it, but Birmingham made a game of it in the second half
By his own admission, Aussie rugby league recruit Chris Anderson knew little about the union code, describing the line-out as being like 'Chinese Chequers.'
