thats because he's been arrogant in the past and I'm not as a fan going to get complacent. I've voiced my worries for years now on arsenal forums, the Bendtner issue etc. etc. yet nothing and we have seen mess after mess. we have a crucial summer coming so excuse me if I don't go blowing smoke in praise, I want the club to move forward not backwards. blowing smoke has got us going backwards and sideways rather than forward.

your picking out comments to your like. Ox on for Ramsey, simple. Yossi still on the pitch.

its not about controlling the game, its about having that raw talented spark to open it up, push forward which Ox is. who else have we got?

so why play burnt out Ramsey when he could have taken him off?

Of course he's got a right to be annoyed but it doesn't give him the right to fall into his narrow minded ways.
I'm not congratulating Wigan for time wasting. I am however congratulating them on taking the initiative to score and somewhat defend well against an Arsenal team that wasnt able to find full on inroads.
