Jack Wilshere is a divisive character. Some love him, others loathe him, while most are largely indifferent.

More known for his injury record than anything he does on the pitch these days, the England international is starting to lose that grace that was affording to him for being an upcoming English talent.
And as such, after getting his token 15 minutes during the FA Cup final last weekend, he followed it up by drinking a beer at 10am and then swearing at a crowd that was littered with children.
Wilshere was filmed leading the Arsenal crowd with the chant: “What do we think of Tottenham?” and “What do we think of s***?”
He has since been charged by the FA for his behaviour, and should the FA fail in their appeal to overturn the ban then he could risk missing the start of the 2015/16 season.
Arsenal and Wilshere have until June 10 to respond to the charge, but the fans and pundits of Twitter are still unsure of what to make of it.

Dear @FA, why is it misconduct for a player to swear on a bus but fine for players to yell obscenities about referees every single week?

Fascinating precedent if the FA is now saying footballers can't ask a question in public. #wilshere

Not charged. Must have been banter right? @FA pic.twitter.com/OwBUK0jAhN

What if Jack Wilshere can prove at the @FA tribunal that Tottenham are indeed 'shit'? Shouldn't be too hard.
