Jack Wilshere Is Simply Amazing Says Arsenal Team-Mate

Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has hailed fellow Gunner Jack Wilshere for all his ‘special’ performances this season.

The 19-year-old has had an incredible debut season at the Emirates, winning many plaudits for his performances against Barcelona and earning a full England cap.

Last weekend he was crowned PFA Young Player of the Year and tomorrow will come up against the Player of the Year in Gareth Bale.

Van Persie is not surprised by how all the attention Wilshere has received and knows all about the teenager’s amazing talents.

“The amount of good games Jack has played is special,” Van Persie told the club’s website. “I have never seen anyone who is 19 and that good in his role.

“He plays very mature – when you get older, you have the experience and know how to play each game, and sometimes I feel he has that already.

“He can play for others and help others out, so that is a gift and he is doing it very well.”

Wilshere committed to under-21 cause

Arsenal youngster Jack Wilshere is keen to play for the England under-21 side in their European Championships campaign in Denmark in June.

The 19-year-old made his starting debut for England’s senior side in their 2-0 win over Wales on Saturday in Euro 2012 qualifying, but the midfielder has stated his intentions of playing with the youth side in their bid to go one better than their finalist appearance at the Euro Under-21 Championships in 2009 in Sweden.”This is international football and I want to play in any international football,” Wilshere said.”It’s up to Stuart Pearce (under-21s manager) and Fabio Capello (senior England boss). They will talk and see what’s best for me.”"I always speak to the manager at Arsenal and I will again. I am sure Stuart Pearce and Fabio Capello will talk to him as well.”Capello, however, stepped away from a decision on Wilshere’s national-team duties, stating that it is a matter for club manager Arsene Wenger and Pearce.”This is the decision between Stuart Pearce and Arsene Wenger, ” Capello said. “I heard that a Barcelona player has told his club that he wants to play (for his under-21 side).”"Wilshere is really important for us but I don’t have exclusive rights over him.” “He is playing a lot of games this season and he will be playing in the summer.”Wilshere missed his country’s under-21 friendly with Denmark under-21 on the weekend – which the English side prevailed 4-0 – to be on senior national duty.

Ramsey and Wilshere Set For Clash of Home Nations

Here’s a quick round-up of yesterday’s international matches, featuring 2 Gunner captains:

*All matches below were part of UEFA Euro 2012 Qualifying

Hungary 0 Netherlands 4: Pretty routine win for the Oranje. RvP played a full 90 minutes and got himself a goal and an assist on Kuyt’s goal. Emerged unscathed.

Luxembourg 0 France 2: Nasri and Sagna played a full 90 minutes. I’m assuming Kos is with his baby mama, but why Clichy wasn’t even on the bench, I haven’t a clue. Not that any of us are complaining because we need him to not get injured as we are pretty thin in the leftback position. Sagna had a decent game from the bits I saw, though the team performance was below par. Nasri got an assist on the first goal when he put a free kick into the box for Mexes to head home. No injuries (though Nasri gave me a bit of a scare when he was down for a couple of minutes!).

Spain 2 Czech Republic 1: Things looked promising when captain Rosicky found Plasil who fired a great shot to put them 1-0 ahead. Unfortunately, David Villa struck twice in the second half to grab all three points off the Czechs. No injuries for Rosicky as far as I know.

***************

Today you can watch captain Rambo and Jack the Lad face off in Wales v England at 11:00am ET. Ramsey thinks he can be a good leader of the Wales team and he wants to prove to everyone that the manager made the right decision in making him captain. There has been a lot of talk about Ramsey and Wilshere in the lead-up to the match. Of course, we all remember how well Ramsey was doing before his injury and how he managed to work his way into the first team and make an impact. It’s a shame we will never know how far he would have progressed by now had his leg not been broken, but we have to look to the future now, and his still looks very bright. Meanwhile, Jack has firmly established himself in our starting eleven and has shown a maturity in his game far beyond his years. Both look to be future stars for the Arsenal. Here’s a chart from the Daily Mail showing how their stats compare, using Ramsey’s 09/10 season and Wilshere’s 10/11 season:

Looking at other matches today, Arshavin will captain Russia against Armenia, which also kicks off at 11:00am ET. Bendtner looks like he might feature after all in Denmark’s Euro qualifier against Scandinavian rivals, Norway, at 3:00pm ET. Carlos Vela is with the Mexico squad and will be playing Paraguay in a friendly match kicking off at 4:40pm ET. The Arsenal website says that Eboue will be involved in Ivory Coast’s ACN qualifier versus Benin, but I can’t find any more information on that game.

You all have a nice day while I go chill with the Arsenal WAGs. Peace.

How long before a footballer tweets during a match? Could be fun. “Just passed to Nicklas and he skied it!”

Highlights of yesterday’s 0-0 draw against Sunderland, as well as a few other things worth mentioning today, after the jump.

Also, there was some reports yesterday that Jack Wilshere would miss the Barca match with the ankle knock he picked up late, but today we actually got some good injury news for a change — Jack is fit to go and will almost certainly start against Barcelona. Given how good he was in the first leg, plus how crap Diaby & Denilson were yesterday, it’s a huge boost for us.

Also, for what it’s worth, because we got into this little “debate” with Stoke trolls recently, Ryan Shawcross once again provided us with convincing evidence that he IS that kind of player over the weekend:

That’s just about it for this weekend. There’s a match going on right now that is going pretty well for us, but I don’t even want to talk about for fear of a jinx. But let’s hope it holds up.

Back with a preview of the Barca away leg tomorrow.
