ARSENAL’S JACK WILSHERE has been charged with misconduct after leading the club’s supporters in chants against Tottenham Hotspur during their FA Cup victory parade, the Football Association announced on Wednesday.
Wilshere, 23, took to the microphone and led fans in two crude chants about their arch rivals Spurs during Sunday’s open-top bus parade in north London, a day after Arsenal’s 4-0 win over Aston Villa in the FA Cup final.
Having been warned by the FA for doing the same thing during last season’s FA Cup victory parade, the England midfielder now faces disciplinary action.
Jack Wilshere has been charged with misconduct in relation to Arsenal’s FA Cup celebrations on Sunday 31 May 2015,” the FA said in a statement on its website.
“It is alleged his conduct in making and/or inciting certain comments during the club’s open bus trophy tour was improper and/or brought the game into disrepute.”
I’m not an arsenal but what’s the big deal singing a song about spurs. Whole world gone too PC
it starts with chanting that spurs are sh. it and ends with the Man Utd and Liverpool crowd shouting chants about the Munich and Hillsborough disaster with everything else in between. it’s easier to put a lid on it all, banter and incitement alike, rather than argue what is and isn’t PC.
Or worse were someone ends up getting stabbed in a nightclub in London over it
Two of the worst comparisons of all time.
He won’t get charged….all he has to do is prove that spurs are sh!t when he faces the FA….shouldn’t be too difficult
He said that last year as well. Its his victory song or something.
World’s gone mad when your fined 10k for telling the truth
The FA and Premier League don’t like it when their walking billboards (i.e. players) say naughty words – lest someone be offended or a #twitterstorm erupt with cutting hashtags like #shockingbehaviour and #insensitive.
If this happens, sponsors will start to re-evaluate their relationship with the club, so we’re left with a bland, sanitised “product” rather than a sport we used to enjoy – and I say this as a Spurs fan.
He should have been charged for that fugly hat
He was, payed a fiver for it.
Jack Who?..is this the same Jack who’s entire premier league career stats to date were achieved by Fabregas in one season at Chelsea??..same Jack ya?
This is B S can people not have fun any more if it was Spurs they would be going mental we want people with emotions playing the game not robots
Just cause spurs taught he was s€€t and wouldn’t sign him when he was a young pup he still holds a grudge
Ah here
