Sadly the ever predictable Fleet Street contingent chose to concentrate on the boos that Ramsey received with lazy one liners on Twitter bereft of any context whatsoever that only sought to incite ignorant public outrage. http://blogs.soccernet.com/stokecity/archives/2012/05/lets_all_do_the_wenger_1.php http://blogs.soccernet.com/stokecity/archives/2012/05/lets_all_do_the_wenger_1.php Comment

who were smiling at the final whistle as substance overcame style with two set pieces winning the three points on the day.

of starting a sub standard side only to bring on his best players with 20 mins remaining and a two goal deficit to claw back is now not just irritating, it's downright stupid.
