On 16th of February 2011, a 19 years-old Jack Wilshere produced his best performance in an Arsenal shirt, to date.

Well how delightful that all the chat this week has been about Alexis Sanchez being subject to an approach from Chelsea this summer. As if we do not have enough to worry about as Arsenal fans. Add to this an interview with a Chilean Lama in which the player said he is happy in London […]
