The international teammates then clashed over this issue, which led to the Arsenal striker being booked by the referee. Arsenal, though, won the match with the last kick through a goal, which was created by Theo Walcott, from Thomas Vermaelen.
“[Newcastle] can’t say we didn’t deserve it! Why is Tim Krul crying as well? Obviously he doesn’t know about RVP’s temper! Don’t mess with the captain!” Jack Wilshere said on Twitter. Meanwhile, Arsenal winger Theo Walcott has said that van Persie should be a contender for the Player of the Year award this season. Van Persie has been in sensational form scoring more than 30 goals this season for Arsenal. He is alongside the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the race for the Golden Boot.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said that he is extremely confident of the fact that England midfielder Jack Wilshere will be able to return to first-team action for Arsenal within a month. Jack Wilshere is currently out with a long-term injury after having an operation on his knee during the early stages of the campaign. It was initially expected that he will be returning to first-team action within January, but after suffering a setback in his rehabilitation process, Jack Wilshere was initially expected to miss the rest of the season. However, he seems to have made rapid progress in such a way that Arsene Wenger has been able to confidently express his recovery time.
The stress fracture suffered on his right foot has been keeping Jack Wilshere out of first-team action since September. His return is expected to add some glory to the Arsenal midfield, which has suffered a lot during his absence. Not only have Arsenal gone out of the Champions League at a very early stage, but they have also gone out of the FA Cup as well. Their chances of winning the Premier league ahead of both Manchester city and Manchester United look very remote indeed.
“The recovery of his latest problems looks very good. The latest scan was very positive. We go cautiously step by step because we tried to push him back quicker in the first instance and he had a setback. So this time we have to be cautious and not go too quick. He can be back before then end of the season, of course,” added Wenger. Even though Arsene Wenger was extremely confident of Jack Wilshere’s return from injury ahead of schedule, he was not exactly confident when it came to Per Mertesacker, who has been ruled out for up to a month.
