Let's all agree on a final verdict for Ramsey......He fucking sucks!
Comes on at home in a three man midfield. Should be pretty comfortable situation, right? No, he dithers on the ball and turns into trouble like a fucking schoolboy and could have got two yellows in about 7 fuckin minutes. Fucking Sidwell could mop the floor with him.
Painfully out of his depth. Came on today and should have been sent off within 10 minutes, all he did was give the ball away. He's got the turning circle of a bus and on another day Fulham would have punished him for repeatedly dallying on the ball in the box.
It's painstakingly obvious that he's never going to make the grade at Arsenal. Be it his injury or whatever, I couldn't give a flying fuck. Fact it we'll undoubtedly persist with him for the next few seasons.
Surely its time to admit, as painful as it is, that this guys talent is completely lost. He was so bad tonight that he contributed even less than Gervinho .
The miskicks (not once but TWICE) when in front of goal just about sum up everything. Between the horror challenge, Wenger and our coaching staff its like the Bermuda Triangle where all his talent has just disappeared into thin air.
Him, Camel and Gervinho looked so far out of their depth against a team that had Roy Carroll in goal FFS
I've been a fan of Ramsey in the past, but tonight..... OMG he was awful. A run out against Bradford next week...? A loan spell back to Cardiff in January...? Wenger has to do something with him, out of the spotlight. You can't just leave the poor guy in an already poorly performing Premier League team and expect him to get his confidence back. I'm 52 years old, and probably 6 stone overweight, and without a word of a lie I would have done better than him on that pitch tonight !

Ramsey stinks the place out most weeks, unfortunately.
Towards the end, when the commentator said "Arsenal are on the break with Gervinho and Ramsey..." you just knew it would end badly. Sure enough, they tripped over their own shitness and gave the ball back to Olympiakos.
The guy to me looks finished since his broken leg. Looked very promising before that ala Eduardo. But his game has lot alot since then. Honestly dont see a future for him as a PL player unless he drastically turns it around.
Hes been shite for 18th months now with the odd good performance mostly for Wales.
Last night summed him up for me. Feel sorry for the kid and disappointed for AFC but nobody is benefiting from him being at the club any more and certainly nobody wins from him being on the pitch. He tries and he's been unlucky but it's painful to watch, not to say infuriating.
I completely agree with northbank. I feel a bit sorry for Ramsey but he was dreadful last night. It was almost like a bad sitcom. Each time it looked like he was finally going to do something good he fucked it up.
At a minimum he needs a year on loan to another PL team, though I now doubt he'll ever make it.

What the fuck was he thinking turning them down for us btw?
