Would rather prat about in Portugal kissing Quieroz' arse than play against Hull apparently, he also fancies playing for Sporting Lisbon than for a real football team. They were a joke against Bayern in the round of 16 in the CL, 11-1 on agggregate! and Bayern are no great shakes.
Arsene puts his faith in him and gives him a chance to breathe life into his career, and this is the thanks he gets for it

Cant see how aw suddenly wanted him to play against hull. On the bench maybe. He looks decent but first team oppotunites will be hard to come by now. No great loss.

what an ungrateful twat wenger has given an amazing opportunity, from werder bremens reserves that no 1 has heard of, now he refuses to play for arsenal first team and he now wants to leave.
Lads I agree 100% that this guy can fcuk back to the backwaters that he came from but wenger has given him this great chance ??? When and where did that happen cos with the exception of a 10 minute run out (on right wing at that) I havent seen him appear at all although I do stand to be corrected on that We all know that he has been injured for a large section of the season but he hasnt had much of this dream chance that ye claim wenger has offered him.
At the time I could not understand why wenger signed this guy and I am still as bemused about that signing to this day It was another in an increasing number of curious decisions that wenger has made in the last few years and with recent events unfolding it is obvious that it has badly backfired. If I am correct this guy's contract only runs until the summer then wenger should have the balls to fine him 2 weeks wages and then cancel his contract and cut the *word censored* loose
On a much more important issue I was told by another fan in the ground last night that ramsey was left out of the squad because he was being rested Does anybody know if there is any truth to that ?? Has the boy got a paper delivery round in the morning that is tiring him out cos it isnt game action that is knackering him cos qwenger aint giving him fcuk all time Surely this cant be true ??

I know he hasn't played much for the first XI Augie, but this guy was kicking his heels at Bremen going nowhere until Wenger gave him the opportunity to come to one of the biggest and most prestigious clubs in the world. The mere fact that a respected coach like Wenger thought him worth it has obviously helped his International career and profile.
As he has not played that much you would have thought he be gaging for a chance to even get on for 20 minutes against Hull and show the boss that he is worth a longer term deal. If his ambition only extends to playing in Portugal then so be it.
I presume Ramsey is in line to start at Newcastle this w/e, hence him sitting the Hull game out? The lad had only played 1/2 a season at Cardiff b4 we bought him, so AW is understandably taking things slow with him.
When he signed he seemed to think that he was signing to be in the first team as a replacment for Hleb, I remember googling him and reading some interviews so you can imagine he feels like it's not going anywhere by getting a run in the youth team/reserves and he has been fit since I think Sept now.
In fairness to him he is only on a 1 year contract so if he's thinking about a move then fair enough but to turn down playing against Hull for a training camp in Portugal is a disgrace.
I agree O2ba with much of what you said and his refusal to play last night is nothing short of disgraceful I know I am speculating here but I keep thinking that if I was ramsey or bischoff and I couldnt get a game ahead of the 2 centre midfielders (denilson and song) that spent most of the season trying to become the worst pairing in the clubs history then I think I would be more than slighty pissed off and frustrated. This is a point I have made regarding ramsey for some time now and I also believe that it applies to bischoff although maybe not to the same degree. Football fans are sooo fickle sometimes that it defys belief and many fans have been on here of late hailing song as the new messiah/pele (I joke ) - however it shouldnt be forgotten that he has largely been muck for most of this season and still ramsey and bischoff couldnt get a game. People point to ramsey's performance at cardiff as good enough reason for him not being in the team but how can song turn in some many shite performances without getting axed while ramsey gets just the one chance ??
I realise that I am mostly talking about ramsey (cos I think he is not getting a fair crack) but most of this also applies to bischoff too and all I am saying is that players ometimes have a right to get pissed if they feel they are not getting a chance but the way to make your point is to turn in a great performance when you are given a chance and not refuse to take part. Just sack the *word censored* will you wenger

Time to move him on.
Didn't we get him in September? I seem to remember AW saying something to the effect that he'd need at least a couple of months to get fit? If I'm wrong my apologies.
I take your point though Gunnersaurus, but you've got walk b4 you can run. I think pishing off to some Portugese glee club meeting instead taking part in a FA Cup 1/4 final is pathetic and proves that he isn't worthy of wearing our shirt.
