Aaron Ramsey refused the offer of a hand shake from outspoken Arsenal fan Piers Morgan following yesterday's draw with Chelsea.

The Welshman's snub comes after years of abuse from the broadcaster who was particularly critical of the midfielder during a poor run of form during the 2012/13 season.

What DOES Wenger see in Ramsey? A complete and utter liability. #Arsenal — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 4, 2012

Just bumped into Whatshisname. Offered him the hand of peace...but he declined. Fair enough. #afc #emirates — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 26, 2015

He said: 'I don't think I want to do that' > RT @GangsterGooner: @piersmorgan did he say anything to you or just completely blank you — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 26, 2015

On a positive note, Whatshisname had a good game today. My motivational tweets continue to pay dividends. #afc — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 26, 2015

Ramsey, who has since since grown into one of Arsenal's most influential players, has made clear his awareness of the criticism before, pointedly asking 'who's Piers Morgan' in an interview.

In retaliation, Morgan has referred to Ramsey as 'whatshisname' ever since.

It seemed the former Daily Mirror editor was keen to bury the hatchet having seen Arsenal draw 0-0 with Chelsea at the Emirates on Sunday. However, Ramsey didn't feel the same way.
