Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association after singing offensive chants during Sunday's FA Cup victory parade in London. The 23-year-old England international incited fans in three chants that included mocking remarks against rivals Tottenham. He did apologise for what he had done, but since he was warned for exactly the same thing last season the FA might not be too lenient with him.
Wilshere took to the microphone during the parade and asked the fans: "We've got one question. And one question only. What do we think of Tottenham? S**t! What do you think of s**t? Tottenham! Thank you." Arsenal staff have spoken to him after the incident but the club will not be taking action against him.
The FA issued the following statement: "It is alleged his conduct in making and/or inciting certain comments during the club's open bus trophy tour was improper and/or brought the game into disrepute." Wilshere could face a ban that would see him miss the beginning of next season.
Arsenal are 5.50 at Bet365 to win the Premier League title next season.

He is very young and he was excited but no matter what was there he must be punished. He is not only player he must be example for all young people, young football players who wants to be like him and I think that this behavior must be punished hard to make example how players should behavior and how not.

It is not easy to calm down when you stand in front of so noisy crowd.I understand Wilshere,he feels the passion that fans are showing. He is lot of time a Gunner,so he feels the club like his home. It is not good to sing songs against rivals,it can make your life harder,but he is still young so I think rivals might forgive...

Well, this is one thing I hate most about professional football players. They really don't know to behave. They don't understand that they need to be good example for all kids around the world. It is normal to have opponents, but you need to respect them. Wilshere did something same last year, so I think FA need to do something...

I can't understand the behavior of Jack Wilshere - it is inexcusable and the FA have to take serious measures against him moreover it's not the first time. I can't believe that Arsenal will not be taking action against him, it's a shame for them too not only for the player. I expect a money and game sanction against him....

Whatever, what can you expect of piece of s**t like him?

That was really unprofessional by Jack. Shouting stuff like that is awful. I hate those kind of people, who more hate opponent club then love their own. He should be banned for few matches, just that this thing doesnt happend again and to show other players that behavour like this one is not acceptable. I respect him as...

I respect him as a player, considering his football talent, but now he hitted rock bottom in my eyes.

I've always thought that Jack Wilshare is not one of those players that can say something like this. To see big rivals and not to love them is one thing, but to disrespect the club, the management, the players or the fans is something very different. Football is sport that should connect the people, and it should be played...

To see big rivals and not to love them is one thing, but to disrespect the club, the management, the players or the fans is something very different. Football is sport that should connect the people, and it should be played with love. I really have another opinion for Jack Wilsher after this quote.
