What Fabregas Has To Say About Wilshere After Win Over Bate

By -
What Cesc Fabregas said to Jack Wilshere on Instagram after BATE 2-4 Arsenal givemesport.com Sep 29, 2017 7:30 AM Jack Wilshere Jack Wilshere. It's been a long time coming, but Jack Wilshere is finally looking somewhere back to his best for Arsenal. He was the orchestrator of Thursday night's 4-2 win over BATE in the Europa League, providing the assist for Theo Walcott's opener. Wilshere played a one-two with burst through the defence and delivered an inch-perfect cross for Walcott to score. It was somewhat reminiscent of the goal Wilshere scored against Norwich back in 2013, when he played a series of one-twos before finding the back of the net. In his post-match interview, Arsene Wenger described the 25-year-old's performance as "outstanding" and said he clearly hasn't lost his quality. "He had an outstanding first half and he fought until the end," said Arsenal's manager. "I think he is on a good way back to his best and he showe...

My dear Nigerians, October 1st remains a special date for all Nigerians as this marks the day when we attained one of the most precious of human desires freedom. Over the years the country has gone through trials and tribulations, but October 1st is always a day for celebrations. It is a day for thanks giving, reflection and re-dedication. It is also a day for remembrance. We should remind ourselves of the recent journey from 1999 – 2015, when our country happily returned to democratic rule. However, in spite of oil prices being an average of $100 per barrel and about 2.1m barrels a day, that great piece of luck was squandered and the country’s social and physical infrastructure neglected. We were left with no savings and huge infrastructure deficit. The APC Government’s Campaign rallying cry to restore security, re-balance the economy and fight corruption was not all rhetoric. The country must first be secured. The economy must be re-balanced so that we do not depend on oil alone. We...
