Arsenal ‘s***house’ Aaron Ramsdale hilariously ranks football’s biggest wind-up merchants including Mourinho and Vardy
ARSENAL star Aaron Ramsdale has hilariously ranked football’s biggest wind-up merchants including Jose Mourinho and Jamie Vardy.
The goalkeeper put ten players and two managers into categories, judging them on their “s***house” abilities.

Ramsdale put Leicester striker Vardy in the best “master of the dark arts” section, citing the time he celebrated by smashing a corner flag after scoring against Ramsdale when he was at Sheffield United.
The Arsenal No1 told ESPN: “He’s one of the GOATS I think. He’s a master.”
Vardy has howled like a wolf when netting against Wolves and imitated an eagle when striking against Crystal Palace, who are nicknamed after the bird.
Joining the 36-year-old at the top was Sergio Ramos.
On the Spanish defender, Ramsdale said: “He’s a GOAT as well, isn’t he? They’re just so good at slowing down the game and making it difficult for you.”
Joining those two in the best s***house category was the always controversial Jose Mourinho.
Ramsdale said: “Why is there not a GOAT tier? I think he was the first one ever. Master of the dark arts. I think he taught Ramos everything he knows.
“Ramos has played under him, [Diego] Costa’s played under him, Pepe’s played under him. That’s why he’s the GOAT.”
HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON THE CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL
Mourinho’s latest act was the booing of the Lazio Under-14s as he turned up to watch Roma’s youth-team play. Although the claims have been denied by the club.
Meanwhile, Costa placed in the “wind-up merchant” category and Pepe was put in the “pain in the backside” section with Ramsdale himself.
The keeper often antagonises opposing fans and players, but he admits he is not on the level of other wind-up greats.
Elsewhere, World Cup troublemaker Emiliano Martinez and Richarlison, who clashed with Ramsdale earlier this season, completed the second tier.
In the “cheeky” group were Jordan Pickford, Bruno Fernandes and Luis Suarez.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has caused a stir this season with his touchline antics and he was in a tier alone named “actually he’s a good lad”.
