Weekly Report: Wasted on Wilshere, a terrible tattoo and one very excited Geordie

February 10, 2011

Jack Wilshere played really well last night. He did this because he is an excellent player – my friend says better than Fabregas – maybe not yet, but there is no reason for him not to be one day. His composure in unerring, but last night’s defensive role cannot be a regular task given to [...]
