Well, I know he's fit... I meant back in the first team.

Fingers crossed. So excited to see him play again.

Looked pretty good in his last two matches playing for Cardiff. Managed the full 90 minutes in both games and scored against Leicester. He'll be like a brand new signing for you during the stretch run.

I see what you did there.

I saw his last couple of matches as well with Cardiff and he looks solid. I expect he will take a while to get back to full sharpness, but I've always been a Ramsey fan and think he's going to be a great player. The future is bright with him and Wilshere.

Saw this article on twitter tonight on Nasri. A good read and really encouraging for Gooner fans. He definitely wants a new contract:

Nasri: We had a row but Thierry was cool - then I had a problem with Gallas

Samir Nasri has nothing to hide — not even the ‘dark side’ he says exists in all the people of Marseille. ‘Zidane, Cantona, me as well,’ he says with a hint of pride.

If I remember correctly though, Babel purposely moved across Kolo, which is fair and all, but Kolo immediately tried to avoid contact and did for the most part but Babel still flopped to the ground. It was the only thing in Babel's mind and Kolo did everything he could to avoid touching him. There are times when fouls have to be given whether the defender had intent or not but if the defender is trying to avoid contact and the attacker induces it and falls, it isn't a foul. Oh well, nothing we can do now but hope we change that type of recent history this year with a trophy.

You could be right. Either way, I've never been so destroyed after an Arsenal game. Let's hope something like that never happens again.

And as for Ramsey, yeah, he did look great in his last few matches. With Ramsey and Wilshere, our midfield future sure is exciting. Obviously I don't Cesc to leave, but Ramsey realizing his potential would make a Cesc departure in the future hurt much less, as a midfield of Song, Wilshere, and Ramsey with Nasri and Walcott on the wings could be lethal. Hopefully by that point we'd have a great keeper and partner for Vermaelen.

Jack Wilshere is a cyber bullly! Oh noes!

Alex McLeish accuses Arsenal's Jack Wilshere of 'cyber-bullying'

Birmingham City's manager, Alex McLeish, was upset by a tweet from Arsenal's midfielder Jack Wilshere after the Carling Cup final

Well, Ferguson did "push" Koscielny on the back of the head... it was pretty blatant, too. And unnecessary, but, whatever.

I was just making fun of the claim of calling Wilshere a cyber bully.

As for the push in the head, when it first happened, I thought maybe he was giving him a friendly "that sucks man" kind of pat on the head that you see players do in those situations. But he was running pretty fast, so it seemed to be a bit more.

Oh well, not a big deal. But we really should stop these cyber bullies on our team from harming others. Terrible things they do with their Twitter.

I'll take a "cyber bully" on our team over a De Jong/Barton/Shawcross type player who would have seen what Ferguson did and turned it into a broken leg 2 minutes later.

Looking forward to the match tomorrow. We need a win and I really hope Ramsey puts on a solid performance

On a happier note, I received my new Arsenal scarf, navy core hoody, and Nike Toque. Very happy about that

How did you not get a pk for the arm pull then the push over by Bramble on AA? Shocking officiating!

While the officiating wasn't great, we were simply not at our best today. We were focused on walking the ball up the pitch yet again and not doing much else. We had chances and didn't take them - bottom line. Once again, we lacked finish.

I can only hope Liverpool beat United tomorrow to ease the blow because if they win, we're really in tough to get a result. I just hope we get Cesc back on Tuesday.

Re: ***The Official Arsenal "Gunners" Thread***

Once again horrible officiating leads to another bad result.

I doubt its ever going to happen, but officiating really needs to be looked at. These guys need to start being held somewhat accountable. It seems as though officiating decides about a game a week nowadays.

Re: ***The Official Arsenal "Gunners" Thread***

You basically have 4 officals, correct?

With the speed of the game why not add 2 more? I've never understood why you don't have 4 on the sidelines as opposed to one on each half on opposite sides.

**Krebstar** · 03-05-2011, 05:24 PM

Re: ***The Official Arsenal "Gunners" Thread***

Didn't get to see the match, only extended highlights, but it seemed from what I saw that we did everything we could do. Some great saves cost us goals, but we created chances. Bad officiating, yes, but I don't know if we could have done much more. But, I didn't get to see the full 90.

A loss by United tomorrow, which I think could happen, would be huge.
