@TH14atl the list of the players you gave me were players who were naturally central midfielders but could play in cmf position and you also gave me no 10's who could also play cmf so i do not get your take.However did you see that they were being played in their best positions.I am also against Ramsey on the wing but i will not be blinded by the fact that if he should be put in box to box role he will be better than santi in that role.But from what you said i think we might just sell cant we.Have you forgotten the man utd match last season where peeps were like O!

why are we so bias.Have we forgotten the man utd match last season where Ramsey changed everything in the midfield.Or maybe i watch a different arsenal playing altogether and i need glasses to tell me that Cazorla is better than Ozil and Ramsey is better than Cazorla at box to box.Well now I see why the team ai nt moving forward.I wonder which other top manager would play them together or the trio in the same lineup.How?Well @TH14 i hope you show your face here when this actually comes to a stumbling block and we might as well sell Ramsey according to what you are saying.

the season is over i don't feel that arsenal need any more frustrations along the way, as it stands injuries and fitness are things players and manager must look after.The mesut ozil injury was lack of proper communication and Wenger saw Ramsey wanting to be subbed but still did not care to look at him, arsenal have been bad lucked this term and this match after losing to team conceded from offside position from the first goal.

Well... i say we should just take it one step / game at a time and not get ahead of ourselves yet, all we have to do is focus on our own games and other clubs, we need to keep winning matches and at our tough away matches where we can't win or play very well like the Man Utd game, i say we take a point and we will see what happens at the end of the season, COYG

It sounds harsh, but jack was a super TALENT, not because he is english, but he also showed it on field, but the operative word here is WAS, injury has taken toll on his talent and his ability to finish a season, i have seen him forced into a squad (team) to make world cup and euro cup teams when he was no way near match fitness, but wenger still pushed with him.

Ooooooooo Haaaaaaahaaaaah!!!!!! i m really really happy guys because all the premier league big boys lost their games at their own stadium few minutes earlier in fa cup against small teams... it has really made my day and m very happy... chelsea lost 4 - 2 vs bradford at bridge man city lost 2 - 0 vs middlesborough at etihad southampton lost 3 - 2 vs our sanogo's crystal palace at saint mary's and lastly tottenham also losf at white hart lane vs leicester 2 - 0... I hope liverpool also lose today vs bolton at their own turf anfield in later match that would be something amazing guys all top teams gonna be out with our team hopefully tomorrow we will see off brighton and win the fa cup again and retain the cup and I think we r now favourites to win fa cup INSHAA ALLAH tis season again..

I will say though that i have seen improvement of him getting in the box to try and finish chances, which is an improvement, although he has been poor in the last three matches, from what i have seen i think he may improve in the goal scoring area this season.

In the second leg, when the match is already lost and no hope, the players will play their hearts out and maybe draw or loose narrowly and some wenger fans will be like the team tried and gave their all and will say Giroud is improving and that we should wait until next season and see the real Giroud and we don't need new signings and we just need to concede less goals.
