One Aaron Ramsey


This lad has been taking a lot of stick from some of Arsenal's faithful, that I am so inspired to write a sisterly letter to him.Dear Aaron,

 You may not know me, but I'm one of those Arsenal fans who still put my faith on you. I have noticed you've been taking a lot of criticism from some of the fans lately
, so I decided to write you a letter of comfort and support.


It's your first full season since some guy named Ryan Shawcross broke your leg, and you've got big shoes to fill now that Cesc has gone back home and Samir went up north in search for more money,
trophies (Well, that's what he still insist.).



Your season kinda start abysmally, well the whole team was. You lost your partner, Jack Wilshere through injuries. Both of you looked like a promising partnership, as I have seen your pre-season games. And then the hammering at Old Trafford, the embarrassing 4-3 lost to Blackburn. You forged a triumvirate with Alex Song and Mikel Arteta that carried on the team to the group stages of the Champions League, even scoring the winning goal at the death in Marseille.

But the season is hard and long, the team's form suffered a blip in December-January, and I have noticed fatigue in you. The clamor for your axing from the first XI was so resounding in the whole Arsenal blogosphere, that I almost gave in to join the bandwagon.

You are trying your very best while on the pitch, but you seemed to be not playing a Aaron Ramsey. We can blame the media or the fans for the hype. The manager tried to play other midfielders with other than Arteta and Song, but it was not good. Remember the poster fans made for you, "One Aaron Ramsey"? There is only one Aaron Ramsey, and that is you! You can never be Cesc, or Samir, or TR7 or Mikel, but you are Aaron Ramsey! You're the captain of your country! Arsene Wenger plucked you out from Fergie's red nose because you're that good to be a part of his masterplan.

Basher's are noisy when you're not at you're best. They chirped on every mistake that you made, and even made you as a scapegoat when things don't go so well. Prove them wrong, Aaron. Just proved them wrong.

Sincerely,
Achi Ling2x

PS: Just cut the backpassing. Just keep it simple.
