More off field football politics nonsense, sensationalized by the media, I can't believe what i've just seen, Eamonn Holmes interviewing The Home secretary Thersa May and at the end of the interview asking her what she thought about it, ridiculous.

Wilshire is paid ridiculous amounts of money to play football, I just want to see him do that thanks, I couldn't give a shining sh*te what his opinion of a non event are.

By the way, while the media are sensationalizing non stories like this, their not promoting up and coming sporting events, in just over two weeks time, The Rugby League World Cup repeat World Cup Will be getting underway, did any of you even know that? tell me, is this story about Wilshire bigger then that?

What next? are they gonna tell us what Leighton Baines had for breakfast? or what toothpaste Gary Cahill uses?

Get to a game if you can.

Enjoy the Sport, not the politics

There should be some distinction between those who've been in the country for a few years, and desperate bids made to players like this where he's another 3 years away from qualification. It's small time.

Someone like Victor Moses had a genuine reason to be called up for England before Nigeria got him, but this kid? Not a chance.

He's supposed to be waiting for Kosovo to eventually be given the full national team. They already have youth teams, but are now on the road to a full international side.

RL is a terrible game. Run into your opponents 4 times then boot it.

Mate I've watched him 3 times this season. And hes been our best winger by far.
Vs liverpool first match back from injury. Best player for us in the first half, ripped kolo toure to shreads.
Ok lost 2-1 to west brom. Nani was our only good player lol. But most people just watch MOTD. So don't see how well the dude actually played. If Hernandez was alive twice in the box, he woulda got two assists. If Afroman knew the offside rule he would of created the equaliser aswell.
And vs Sunderland him and Adnan were our only threats.

*pats back*

Wilshere has like 90 prem appearances with like 3 goals and 8 assists LMFAO. That is shocking.

And how many Rugby League games have you attended or full games have you watched, to form that view? Why don't you lie to me and tell me you've seen lots and attended lots of games.

Yes because more people are interested in Jack Wilshere then they are about Rugby League on the whole, you could say he himself is bigger then the whole sport, probably more Arsenal fans then actual rugby league supporters

There only more interested, because that's what the media shoves down peoples throats.

the newspaper sales would be at an all time low if Rugby League was making the Sports headlines everyday

The same was probably said about Rugby Union in 2003, then England won the World cup, and so the Media jumped on the bandwagon and said we'll have a piece of that, Johnny Wilkinson became one of the most famous people in the Country at the time, Bus rooftop celebrations in London, Knighthoods and MBE's, Television shows ect ect, because the media sensationalized it.

lol.. rugby Union is in a different league when it comes to the world cup, when people think of the Rugby World Cup they instantly think of Union and not League and hence why every match is shown on BBC/ITV like the football world cup

I've watched some - never attended a live game, but I like sport. I'd guess most people who post in the sports forum have at least watched part of a game of RL. The fact that hardly anyone knows the RLWC is about to start kind of suggests that most people don't really like RL. It is a dire game in my opinion.

My point was, whether you like the sport or not, should a nothing throw away comment by Jack Wilshire, be given far far more media coverage then an upcoming sporting World Cup being held on these Shores?

Probably hard to care about the RL World Cup because it's a very minor sport internationally really, looking at the past winners before 08 when NZ won it's only ever been won by England and Australia and even then we haven't won it since 1972 lol

For me (i'm sure we're all different) but for me personally, i find it hard to care that Jack Wilshire has an opinion, and i'm much more interested in an up and coming sporting World Cup of IMO the greatest game of all.

1972 the last time England won, well they're six years better of then the Football team.

I was talking about Jack, not Nani :laugh:

*wipes a seeat*
The effort i put into that post.
And I've watched wilshere over 5 times this season lol.
And hes played whack. He was horrendus in the first half vs west brom.
People just blame "match fitness or his ankle" when he has a bad game which is everytime these days.

He's definitely not been playing as well this season, I don't know why.. Id put the weekends performance down to his position, playing on the left didn't work for him at all.. Probably the worst game he's played but the rest of the season hasn't been as bad as some people make out.. He's just been outshined by Ramsey

Smoking is getting to him.
Quit smoking.
