A word too for the Arsenal keeper. Seems like the best of their bad bunch from what I've seen of him.
The Wilshere hype is crazy. He's only 19. People are acting like he's the saviour of English football. He's a great player, with bags of potential, but the amount of building pressure on him is pretty damaging.
The press do seem to latch on to particular players. Gareth Barry, in the World Cup, is a good example of this. Everyone was screaming for Barry. Suddenly everyone was saying how essential Barry was to the English team.
Same with Joe Cole
yeah, obviouslyIn Cole's case it was pretty obviously a few hacks doing the bidding of a few Chelsea players.

definite quote of the weekend: "Largely anonymous up to that point, Balotelli was immediately replaced by Tevez - much to the clear frustration of the former Inter Milan youngster who threw his snood to the ground as he stomped down the tunnel." he'd fit right in at the bridge right now.
Though his family life became a settled one, the colour of his skin has been a more intractable problem. The racism he experienced as a player at Internazionale was overt – Juventus were ordered to play a match behind closed doors a few years ago, such was the racist abuse – but as a child it manifested itself in Balotelli feeling that he was invisible. "Two things were close to my heart, like all boys at a certain age: girls and getting attention," he reflected in one of the few interviews he granted in Italy. "But it was like I was transparent. I'm no Clooney but I couldn't explain it why I was ignored. My friends explained. They told me people didn't like blacks."
