Jack Wilshere has confirmed that he’s due under the knife this week to have scar tissue removed from his ankle but made clear that he doesn’t expect to spend more than a couple of weeks out of action.
The 21-year-old was initially going to have the operation before the end of the season but following an injury to Mikel Arteta ahead of the trip to Newcastle the procedure was deliberately delayed by Arsene Wenger.
“I’m having an operation this week to deal with the irritating scar tissue caused by the screws, but it’s a minor process and I’ll only be rested up for a fortnight,” the midfielder told the Sun.
As a result of the surgery Wilshere will miss next week’s England friendly games against the Republic of Ireland and Brazil, however, despite seeing injury again rule him out of international duty he maintains that his desire to represent and even captain his country is as strong as ever.
“I want to captain Arsenal and I want to captain England. That definitely appeals to me. It’s my ultimate dream. People say players are no longer bothered about wearing the England shirt.
“But for me it’s the pinnacle of my job because club rivalries go out of the window and the entire nation comes together behind you — it’s the best feeling.”
If Arseblog News isn’t mistaken that’s Jack’s second most innuendo-laden statement of the week…coming quick off the heels of his proclamation that ‘big’ David Beckham ‘rubs off on everyone.’
Anyway, we digress…
Assuming Wilshere does only spend a couple of weeks off his feet he should be fit enough to join the rest of the squad when they travel to the Far East in mid-July for the club’s pre-season tour.
orgasm face
Thanks for coming
ahhhhhh jizz jackk yhhhh
mmmm
Good. Now you can read Double’s posts that follow to check if you have multiorgasmic capacity 😉
I can see him being given the vice-captain role as soon as it becomes available, and inevitably moving to become captain later on.
I’m all for it, the guy bleeds passion, it’s exactly what I want to see!
too early for his own good and the team’s benefit.
should get a few more seasons to improve his games (quicker) and maturity, play regularly, stay away from injuries, and then think about the captaincy.
I hate to be pessimistic, but if its an arsenal few weeks, let not hold our breathe and wait til we see him in a match in pre-season otherwise prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
Arteta captain, Jack vice captain next season?
I AM. I am the captain of all VICE in the team. Forever and ever and ever. Ohh Baby!
yep
maybe 1 after i see arteta cap, vice to mertesacker
I found this really really funny
Why is the world would you hand Wilshere the captaincy at this age? I can name at least 5 players that deserve it more than him.
I know we all love him and he’ll be our new Mr. Arsenal someday, but be patient. Our midfield has done very well the second part of the season and with Aaron doing so well, there’s no guarantee that a fully fit Wilshere will even be a guaranteed starter in the team.
If TV5 leaves, first choice is Mikel, then Rosicky, then Per, then Sagna (if he’s still here).
Tony Adams was Captain at an even younger age. It’s all about passion and leadership.
Poor old Jack is already made up of 62% scar tissue and he’s hardly there at all anymore.
Remember He started out 6ft 3
Lanky Jack…
Oh we’ll After a series of small ops this summer, paring away scar tissue and dodgy tendons, the emirates cup will see jack wilshires heart flopping around the pitch.
It will still be better than Gareth bale.
Coz he’s a gimp.
Mind you if wengers been collecting all the scar tissue, we could make a fairly decent substitute.
or at the very least an antidote to like, squillaci or sometihing
Why not after all Diaby is the 6 million or is that the 16 million dollar man and no they do not have the technology to rebuild him
I hear that Diaby’s going under the knife to have the last bit of Diaby removed from his scar tissue.
Diaby is the ship of Theseus.
Thought the title was ” Scar tissue of the week”
anyone know where hes getting hes op?
On the ankle
Ooooh, pipped at the post!
On his ankle
Hospital
i meant which hosipital
that gag clearly passed you by jacob old son
Stalker detected.
What exactly are you going to do if you find out? :/
if i find out. im gonna give him some grapes. and steal his morphine
Captain Jack. Has a nice, familiar ring to it…
Arrrrrrghhhhh…..
How can you not love him? Jack the Great!
Keep calm Gooners. Its only a small mild surgery. Its a very small, small, small one. 🙂
Pre-season will do Jack a load of good. The last pre-season he had (before the 10/11 season) he stayed fit and played about 49 games.
talk of screws in human organs scares me to death
You may need to study anatomy, but i get what you mean.
However its nice to screw in some human organs… it sure beats flinging your own crap at your genitals like gareth bale does to get off.
Wait .. what?
sex is better than monkey faecal mastation…
duh
sex is better than monkey faecal masterbation…
duh
Gareth Bale is a great player. Wish he was in our team. If we had Bale we would be Champions.
Or covered in faeces
I have a metal plate and 8 screws holding my arm together and it has in no way affected my career as a top level arm wrestler.
Oh wait …
“I have a metal plate and 8 screws holding my arm together…”
The things kids get up to when their parents buy them a meccano set, eh?
Good things bones aren’t organs then.
I hope they don’t SCREW this up 🙂
See you in 2018 :'(.
People talking about Captain Jack…do you think Ramsey could be in with a shout too? Ex-captain of Wales and he’s shown some determination in the run in.
Whatever happens, if our midfield is run by the captain of Wales next to the captain of England, it’s gonna be pretty mean. And maybe we’ll finally get cut some slack from the media..
Ramsey for captain? why not.. the squid had the arm band as well.
ofcourse it is a lame joke, but you started it.
I can see Jenko or Sczczesny being possible Captains. They seem more vocal.
I believe Theo Walcott should step up and captain Arsenal.
Nonsense, we all know it should be Denilson.
I thought this for a while… If you watch interviews with Rambo he’s a top man. I do think there is something to be said for leaving more creative players to just do their thing, with more industrial players making good/better captains
I feel as though the deeper lying midfielders (and indeed players) tend to make better captains, and I just get the feeling that Ramsey would make a stellar captain, he was great for Wales till the Gary Speed tragedy and the farce that is Chris Coleman took over.
I would love it if further down the line it was Aaron who was captain and Jack as vice, or the other way round. The two would be good compliments to each other in leadership roles.
So wait a sec are they actually removing the screw or just the scar tissue ’caused’ by the screw? I mean, is this the last of the ops or can we look forward to another season of one game in 5 games out?
Come to think of it, it’s really amazing how they (Arsenal) kept it to themselves untill a few games to go. …talk of keeping secrets, and here we were, critical of some of his performances without knowing anything about screws …and ‘screwing’ an ankle.
Jack is built entirely from dead skin and mechano
All Jack needs is a few more tattoos, it’s the only thing holding him back
fergie was always more cunning than wenger at getting his players not to play internationals. he’d make them retire or feign injury without ever being puller up. wenger tries, but not fergie level !
None of this mature, respectful crap. It’s Red Nose, Slur Alex or Captain Shitfacepants.
What if we’re not 12 years old?
This seems like a random enough article to post my request. Since there’s no forum on here but I value the opinion of anyone who reads arseblog: I’m an American who has never been to London but I’m going in September for the game just after the interlul. Assuming it’s a home game, can anyone fill me in on what to expect for the pre-game? For example, for American football, we camp out before the game, grill some meat and drink too much. Then everyone walks(crawls) into the stadium. My understanding is Gooners take public transit to the stadium… then… Read more »
there’s a whole bunch of pubs around the stadium that lots of people go to. drinks and food in the stadium are expensive and pretty crap – carlsberg tastes like piss and once i made the mistake of getting the cannon hotdog, which as far as i can tell had cornflakes on it. i personally quite like the coronet. I mean, it’s a complete cave but sometimes quite cheap and its a big old theatre which is kind of cool. and for food theres only one – crystals which is further down holloway road past the odeon cinema. mean kebabs… Read more »
also no one really gets drunk enough to ignore opposing goals. when the other team are winning it gets a little sad/quiet in the emirates which is pretty lame.
Thanks so much. How early do you get to the pub then? Hour or two before kickoff?
And actually, what’s the best way to get my hands on some tickets. I understand you have to be a member? Over here, you can buy them straight up from the club or use a ticket trading website, but I don’t think it works the same for EPL
If you’re a member on the official site Arsenal.com, you can get tickets allocated first. But some matches go on General Sale (GS) and you can buy tickets without having any memberships.
The GS matches are usually the ones that are low-key and not predicted to sell-out.
I’m always slightly behind schedule so I get pissed on public transport like a tramp and just about make it in for kick off!
Things always take slightly longer than I anticipate…..

Sean from the USA…..go to a place called Rocket bar. its a student bar so the beer is cheap. Us gooners all get a bit pissed up, occasionally go through new player songs( helps to not look like a twat in the stand not knowing the words). last time i went we then all marched to the stadium 300 of us filling the streets and looking like ‘some bad ass motherfuckers!”
^^^ i guess thats what you’d say : )
(in hindsight…probably looked like a drunken immature prick, but hey ho)
Believe it or not, the last time I went I took a mate and as we left the pub, The Metro bar I think, we walked down a sort of side road approaching the stadium and we witnessed a huge group of lads marching towards the ground singing/chanting Arsenal related songs. Probably was a couple of hundred strong. Wonder if that was you and your badass motherfucker crew?
is badass motherfucker crew now a bad new general term for all arsenal fans going to the stadium?
Collective noun for Arsenal fans is a “CockeralStomp”.
Just a quick note for how much of a ingrate, petty blatherer of a man Tony Pulis is. Writes an open letter to Stoke fans following his departure, can’t resist slotting this comment in there –
‘”Who can forget that first [Premier League] win against Aston Villa, not to mention the victories against a certain team from north London?'”
You can just imagine him slyly writing it with a knowing wink to himself in the mirror, thinking about ‘those fancy-dans from down south, with their real football, tradition and proper stadium’…
“ingrate, petty blatherer of a man”
You’re barely scratching the surface there. Go a bit further and you’ll find a shit-stained apologist for a bunch of thuggish cunts.
Ah, a bit of Bony Pubis never hurt anyone… Except those who his players destroyed.
I hope they get a decent manager in who gets them playing the right way. I don’t give a fuck if they have a very hostile atmosphere as that’s just grassroots football culture, but Pubis’ style needs to be eradicated.
