Aaron Ramsey is BACK!, it has been confirmed, joining the likes of Yaya Touré and Robin van Persie in also being BACK!.

The Arsenal midfielder, rejuvenated, hinted at a renewed spate of goal-scoring with a strike in the Gunners’ 3-2 defeat at Stoke on Saturday before following it up with a couple, one an absolute doozy, in last night’s 4-1 Champions League win at Galatasaray.

With Manchester City star Yaya Touré and Manchester United, er, hot shot Robin van Persie also back amongst the goals, some tough decisions await fantasy football players across the globe this week.

Speaking exclusively to Football Burp, one regular reader enquired as to where exactly we thought we were going with this rather tenuous-seeming ‘news’ story.

He said: “It’s because Christmas is coming up, isn’t it? You think you can just slack off and no one will notice.

“Well there are about a dozen of us who actually read this stuff and if this idle drivel is a taster of what’s to come over the festive period then we may be forced to go and read your bitter rivals Soccer Belch instead.

“Is that what you want? ‘Cause it’s what’ll happen.”

No one was available for any sort of comment whatsoever.
