Wilshere Included In Squad For Rovers Trip
Arsenal midfield maestro Jack Wilshere has been added to the travelling party ahead of tomorrow’s Premier League tie against Blackburn Rovers.
The 16-year-old was promoted to the first team after impressing boss Arsene Wenger during pre-season and was subsequently rewarded with the number 19 shirt.
He continued to impress in the Emirates Cup and his 15-minute cameo role against La Liga winners, Real Madrid confirmed the fact that Wilshere looks the part in the Arsenal first team squad; he now may get a chance off the bench for the Gunners’.
We will cover every aspect of tomorrow’s match with our immediate-after-full-time reports, stay tuned to the gold mine for Arsenal first team news and views – Gooner Talk.

15 minute? He played the whole first half didnt he?
The next 3 games will tell alot about our season. I would take a WDW but three wins would be fabulous. Its a tricky game after an international break
No mate, he came on for Samir Nasri 15 minutes from time.
You might be thinking of the Juventus match where he played 60 minutes.
I wouldnt say the next three games will tell a lot about our season as it is against Blackburn, Bolton and Hull. Games that we should win anyway. Then we have games against Sunderland, West Ham and Everton not sure in what order. We have to play Spurs on October 29th then we play United, Man City and Chelsea in November, thats when the big test is. End of October and November will be interesting
It's interesting that we all believe that Arsenal struggle after an international break but Stewart Robson, on Arsenal TV, said that the statistics don't bear that out. He claims that we have a better record than most in post-international matches.
Nasri is the kind of player that always get shirt injuroes because of his palying style. Just a usefull fact about our new boy 😛
hi goonerchris can u list the whole squad please. My team would be :
Almunia
sagna djorou toure clichy
nasri fabregas denilson walcott but wenger is gonna chose eboue
adebayor bendtner
Against balckburn we need height because when they have set pieces they look dangerous so we need to play players with height than technicall ability. Its gonna be a scrappy game just hope we in the battle and the fight
As lots of the players have been on International duty i would love to see Wenger start Wilshere on the wings with either Nasri or Walcott on the other wing. Doubt that will happen but that would be great if it did as Wilshere is a great player.
Can Wilshere break Fabregas' records for youngest league appearance? And if so, how much longer does he have to break such a record? Just wondering.
I think post-away european matches is the really kicker aj.
He can easily break Fabregas' record as the youngest league appearance as Cesc didnt play in the league till he was 17. He played and scored in the carling cup when he was 16 but im sure he was 17 when he played his first prem game.
In the pre-season games Wilshere looked pretty tough and never afraid of a tackle or getting stuck in(just ask salgado), so in that respect it would be interesting to see how he would do against b'burn. They are a different team under Ince, he wants to play proper football and a counter-attacking style could serve us well today.
I would defo suggest dropping Gallas…..off a cliff, he was at faulf for at least 2 of Austrias goals. The Perse is gonna keep up his record scoring against rovers. Im not a betting man but im putting some money on RVP, Fowler, Cesc and one of our defenders. Maybe Clichy or Sagna or Toure or Gallas.
Anyway, im following suit and going to say 3-1 arsenal
Look forward to seeing wilshire…
