    A new contract for Wenger means more of Ramsey in the middle, Theo out wide, Ox wherever and the same defensive and mental shortcomings we've been watching for almost 10 years.

    Surely even the most pro-Wenger crowd would admit that?
    This is the point. It seems to suggest that spending and quality of player is the real problem. A few years ago most of us would have agreed but he has spent plenty in recent years, brought in at least three world class players, paid north of 30 million each for a couple of others and we have got worse.

    It is impossible to ignore that management is at least part of the problem. Everything we know of Wenger tells us that these key aspects will not change as long as he is here.

    As for the alternatives, I can cope with pretty much any horrible situation next season if it involves never having to watch Ramsey in a Wenger midfield again.

    I've always said good things about you, Peter. Even during that rather embarrassing Almunia phase you went through.

    It is hilarious that not one of you is prepared to admit just how right I was about that, even now. And how right I am always am on goalkeepers...always.

    Either way, Ramsey is a useless ****, on that I would like to think we are all now agreed, surely?

    Also Wilshere..... he can **** right off.

    Um, well, not quite on the Almunia and keeper thing generally. But I am so pleased with your view of Ramsey that I will let that one slide.

    Absolutely correct on Ramsey, my litmus test for the next manager will simply be this: did he sell Ramsey in his first summer with the club? Yes, top man. No, I'm waiting for the next manager. Also, note that your view of Ramsey apparently means that people like Ash and Charles have a right to be rude to you and Luis Anaconda will suggest you need a new hobby. Funny ole game, football.

    Jack is a tougher one. I still think he's very talented but the fact that he can't get into Bournemouth's first 11 regularly suggests to me that he lacks the desire and focus to be an Arsenal player. At least once Wenger leaves, anyway.

    When have I been rude to you about this?

    Another manager might have Ramsey's operating manual. He has played very well for Wales.

    He has played well for us in the past. He just struggles in the wide midfield and holding role. Once Ozil leaves this summer that position will be vacant and awaiting Ramsey. Alternatively, Wenger might just stick Iwobi in there.

    The flaw in this plan Alberto is that Ramsey has played there quite a few times for us and been utterly useless every time.

    The plan without a flaw in it involves selling the useless c*nt.

    You're constantly rude about Ramsey, and he's not here to defend himself.

    What makes you so precious?

    Ramsey had an incredible season where he looked like a world-class player. Wilshere is enormously talented but physically and mentally not up to it.
