Jack Wilshere...

...was referred to on TalkSport the other day, by a Spurs fan who rang in, as Jack Wheelchair.

Apologies if that nickname was already common knowledge, but it's the first time I've heard it and it really tickled me

Like it -not heard glass ankles referred to by that name before.

It's a good one. Though doesn't beat "One size" Fitz Hall as my favourite footballer nickname.

I suspected it maybe wasn't. Two-and-a-half years behind the times isn't bad by my standards, though...

You're not alone in it hearing it before. I Googled it too, and there's some good lines about it. I quite liked this pic.

Why Hodgson has even bothered with him is mildly amusing. He must only now be days away from another sustained period out due to injury.

I just saw him having a *** out the back of A and E

Does that breach the super - injunction?

Especially when Walcott has been dropped because he's not played enough. At least if someone gets injured though we've named plenty of players that can come in and do the exact same job as the one they're replacing without us having to worry about considering different systems or tactics in case a change was forced on us.
