I love Ramsey

That is all

Quite happy that we didn't go for Michu tbh

All the yellow cards, I missed all the fun.

Pity we didnt go for that young Shelvey lad, if we were in for him.
Top top quality
He must be a plant from Liverpool.
He couldnt be this rubbish.

Yeah but what about shelvey

Pepe LeFrits

I don't see why we can't enjoy things the way they're going while simultaneously remaining objective. Button's post was fair enough and yet he got abused by 2 posters (and by those who thanked them, by extension, as far as I'm concerned).

Aaron Ramsey is 22 lads.

Anyone who is either writing him off or declaring him among the greats of the game at that age is talking out their hole.

Most likely it's the same people that were sending him hate comments on twitter are now arguing that he's in fact 'world class'.


He had a pretty good end to last season, and a very good last month. He looked good for such a young player before the leg break. He didn't look so great after but was also stuck on the wing. Now he seems to be in a patch of great form, in fact his best ever. Let's all hope it continues.

I mean what the fcuk is wrong with just leaving it at that?

FearDark

Well said gosplan. There is an awful lot of people talking crap here lately.

EDIT: By that I mean it seems to be the same two or three people all the time. Negative opinions no matter WHAT we are doing, always nit-picking and it ****s me off.

Can't argue with the bolded piece but the rest of your post was pretty demeaning.

What would football be like if everyone was a stuck in the mud and refused to air their extra-ordinary beliefs.

I can handle other opinions. What I can't stand is your constant dogging the team no matter what, you and some others.

Soups123

We're second, Giroud is banging them in, we signed Ozil and where arguing whether Ramsey's excellent form is temporary or permanent

Times are good!

Nah don't think so, its Ramsey I had a go at and have held my hands up and said looks like I was wrong.

That's mutually exclusive.

You're effectively calling Jacksparrow's expression of opinions "Constant dogging".

I have no problem with fans who still see problems with the club and aren't getting carried away.
I don't like seeing Arsenal fans criticising and insulting other Arsenal fans though.

I don't really care if people air their insane beliefs. A few of them might even be correct. The problem is when it creates two pages of abuse and yellow cards on this thread.

This isn't a pop at you and sorry if it comes across as condescending or anything. Just trying to draw a line under it.

In no particular order yet, hopefully.

I hope not too : pac few goals in our favour would be nice but either way I'm sure I'll enjoy it, she booked the stadium tour, match tickets and said something about half time drinks sorted and paid for so as long we don't loose it should be good : ).

Looper007

Apart from that awful Villa game, We've had a great start to the season. Giroud has silenced his critics so far (me as one :pac:), Ramsey has been brilliant. So all's good at the moment.

Ha, as a insane Wenger lover and blind to any of Arsenal's previous booing, I didn't think you were talking to me ha!

Even got Ramsey on the FF team :rolleyes:

I would love to see Wengers FF team

Pepe LeFrits

Listening to the Football Weekly podcast there and Michael Cox (Zonal Marking dude) reckons that Ramsey is a better player than Wilshere overall. Not sure I'd go that far (though he's certainly a better player at the moment), but I did enjoy looking over these... six weeks ago or so:

"Nobody in the top 4 or the teams chasing it like Spurs, Everton, Liverpool would come anywhere near Ramsey if he was available but they would be all over Wilshere like a fly on sh*t."

"If Ramsey is the answer, then god help us all"

"Ramsey is a poor mans Flamini, he is honestly the most over rated player amongst our fans!"

To Ramsey being better than Wilshere at the moment and likely to start the season in our first XI:
"HOLY JAYSUS :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:"

"Don't get me wrong Ramsey is a decent enough squad player in the same mould Stephen Hughes, Grimandi, Flamini etc (Edu would be much better then all of them) but not a chance is he even in the same league as Wilshere!!"

Good times.

ramsey was supposed to be better/thought of as the better player when they were younger/before ramseys' injury

bad2dabone

So Vermaelen’s back in contention,
I know he was directly at fault for some critical goals scored against us last season through individual errors etc but I’m delighted to see him back and I really hope he can regain his form from a couple of seasons back as I think he has a real affinity for the club and he’s impressed me with his attitude since he was (rightly) dropped.

Pepe LeFrits

We need all the players we can get at the moment. I like Vermaelen's attitude and if he gets an extended run of games as Mertesacker's partner I reckon he'll come good. Not so sure about pairing him with Kos though; they're both pretty instinctive defenders. Maybe in time, with a bit more experience, they'll work.

2ndcoming

I remember Cesc saying when he left that "in Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere, Arsenal have two of the best young midfielders in Europe, they'll be fine without me."

At the time I thought he was just trying to make us feel better, but if things keep going for Aaron the way they have been and Jack hits his fabled 100% fitness we might all see he was telling the truth.

My first game was Wigan in the league when Eboue got booed! Have made up for it since then with some cracking games although my last competitive game was last season when we lost to Swansea. Heading over in a few weeks for Norwich and Dortmund. Was at the Emirates the last time we played Dortmund in the CL and their fans were excellent and it was a cracking game - Song created a lovely goal for van Persie.

DenMan

Eboue ready for Bale tonight!

Maire2009

Ozil doing his initiation - not sure what song he did

Apparently we've signed Romeo Beckham on a youth contract

Someone at the club is seen dollar signs!

Pepe LeFrits

Man, glad we signed Koscielny instead of Spahic...

emergingstar

I'm happy verm is back too

I love kos really love him he is a beast

But if he keeps fcuking up and making stupid mistakes a little spell on the bench is needed

A while ago now. He supports Arsenal and is usually at the games. If he is half as good as his old man, he could be a big player.

Semi Ajeyi confirmed on twitter that he signed for us today following in Jenks footsteps.

@S_Ajayi5

Delighted to announce that I have officially signed for @Arsenal FC. Can't wait to see what the next two seasons here have in store for me

Bendyboots syndrome is catching on I see. It has even reached the North East. Average players beginning to get delusions of grandeur as demonstrated in this case (albeit to a lesser extent then the original)

If that's true I'm delighted we didn't get him.

Big game tonight for our CL hopes. Shame we cant rotate a bit more due to injuries and I expect the same team as the weekend.

Could be an ideal game for Walcott to shake off the last game and get back on the scoresheet. If he keeps getting into the positions he is its only a matter of time

cathalio11

Massive game tonight. It's actually close to a must win giving the other fixtures.

And it's a worrying state of affairs where we feel the need to get 3 points at Marseille.

None-the-less, I remember the horrible match we played there 2 seasons ago where Ramsey scored a last minute winner to win 1-0.

Nothing wrong with a little arrogance provided he's going to work his ass off to back it up.

I think Bendtner's problem was that he figured he just needed to stand around for a few years and would naturally become the best player in the world.

jester77

This is brilliant from BVB
