Going to be awkward when he's coaching 19 year olds who have more career minutes under their belt than him

Going to be awkward when he's coaching 19 year olds who have more career minutes under their belt than him

Nice little snide comment until you’re reminded he’s still the youngest player to ever debut in the league in Arsenals 136 year history. And twelfth youngest to ever debut for England.

Going to be awkward when he's coaching 19 year olds who have more career minutes under their belt than him

Nice little snide comment until you’re reminded he’s still the youngest player to ever debut in the league in Arsenals 136 year history. And twelfth youngest to ever debut for England.

And mediocre overall

and paid millions while injured

and used as an excuse by Wenger and Wenger extremists to justify not buying a replacement because he was always "returning in two weeks"

And the darling and sacred cow of the bed pissing mediocrity lovers who think it's some sort of personality contest rather than a football club

So bollocks to Mr Wilshire. Good luck to him as a coach but spare me the guilt trip

Jack Wilshere leads Arsenal to Youth Cup final for the first time in five years

Jack Wilshere’s Arsenal under-18 side progressed to the final of the Youth Cup for the first time in five years after a dramatic 120th-minute winner against Manchester City.

The two sides could not be separated after 90 minutes and entered extra-time tied at 1-1, but a header right at the death from Myles Lewis-Skelly grasped the victory for the London side at the Emirates.

Arsenal defender Michal Rosiak, 17, opened the scoring eight minutes into the game with a free kick, but 16-year-old Manchester City forward Justin Oboavwoduo’s tap-in levelled the scoring in the 75th minute.

However 16-year-old Lewis-Skelly, who recently signed a new deal with the club, headed in a late winner to send his side to the final.

Wilshere, who became Arsenal under-18 coach last July shortly after announcing his retirement, told The Athletic that Arsene Wenger, Per Mertesacker, and Mikel Arteta inspired his management style.

Arsenal have not won the Youth Cup since 2008 and last featured in the final in 2018, losing 7-1 to a Chelsea team that featured Reece James, Marc Guehi, Connor Gallagher, Billy Gilmour, and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Arsenal will face the winner of West Ham and Southampton, who play on Thursday, in the final on April 29.

Nice one Jack!

Great seeing him talk about football as a manager.

Seems to have really matured through the process.

Good luck to the lads in the final! COYG!

All of our Jack Wilshere documentary available now

This week saw us launch our new documentary Back Home: Jack Wilshere’s First Season, and the second and final part is now available to view.

Our cameras followed the former Hale End product as he took his first steps into coaching our academy side, and tracked their FA Youth Cup campaign, as they embarked on a dramatic run right from their opening match through to the final in front of a large crowd at Emirates Stadium.

In Back Home, our supporters can go right into the heart of the setup and hear Jack’s team talks before, during and after games, as well as hear from the man himself about how he fared and the highs and lows of the job, and some of the youngsters developing under the former England international.

Part one was released earlier this week, and now you can see the conclusion which takes in our dramatic matches against Cambridge United and Manchester City that set up a final meeting against West Ham United. Watch on as Cesc Fabregas, Mikel Arteta and Martin Odegaard share their wisdom with our young Gunners ahead of the cup final, alongside all the pre-match build-up and Jack and Per Mertesacker's emotional words after the final whistle.
