    There is that lingering feeling about what he could have been, or even should have been given that he is 26 and no longer young Jack Wilshere. He was slightly different to your average English midfield player and very much in the mould of Arsenal, but then he was injured a lot and even under Wenger had moved down the pecking order.

    Not making Southgate’s WC squad must have told him his career is seriously in reverse.

    I am not one for huge sentimentality about footballers so no loss as far as I am concerned.

    Yes, I'll be interested to see if he ends up at a club that is 'better' than The Arsenal.
    I'm sure AFC East will think he will.

    I'd have thought his highlight would be that game against Barcelona. Even I was almost convinced after that.

    Oh it was - he was quite magnificent that night. But for the Norwich game and that goal, I was actually sitting with SW. You can imagine the erudite conversation fairly baffled those surrounding us

    I can imagine there was a high level of football hipsterism, la.

    Certainly the tactical debate may have confounded those lucky enough to be in earshot.

    I remember thinking Leroy Fer had played well for the Canaries. A level of footballing insight and appreciation not many could even dream of, or perhaps 1-2 too many Timothy Taylor Landlord liveners.

    The fact that my travelling companion drifted off in slumber during the game suggests the latter.

    I'd forgotten that
