Great Britain?

What a mockery that is, the Scottish and the welsh pretty much hate the English and want nothing to do with us and probably likewise with the irish.

Fuck team GB, fuck stuart Pearce and fuck the Olympics.

Sir jack being fit and ready to play for the arsenal next season is all that matters.

ARSENE WENGER admits it is unlikely Jack Wilshere will play for Team GB in this summer's Olympics.

Arsenal midfielder Wilshere has missed the whole of the season with an ankle problem and has already been ruled out of England's Euro 2012 campaign.

But Team GB boss Stuart Pearce claims the 20-year-old is still in his thoughts ahead of the London 2012 kick-off on July 25.

But Wenger insists Wilshere needs a full period of rehabilitation before he can think about playing at the Games.

The Gunners boss said: “At the moment Jack has a different worry.

“His focus is to get back on the football pitch and play, there is not one specific target like the Olympics or the European Championships, although he is out of that.

“His main priority is to get out on the pitch and play football.

“Nothing is definitely set at the moment because we are in a slow progress world where we go step by step.

"If we start pre-season at the beginning of July and he is completely fit to join in normal training, then we will see about the Olympics, but let’s not forget he has not played for a whole year.

“To be competitive at the top level it will take him some time to come back and we have to give him that time.”

And so the backing down begins

It sounds very serious. The set-backs thing is what ruined Rosicky and Diaby. Maybe Wenger is doing the right thing by playing down the recovery date but for him not to be optimistic and, lets face it, unrealistic, about an injury recovery is very worrying. No guarantees that he'll be fit for the start of the season? That's bad.

To be competitive at the top level it will take him some time to come back and we have to give him that time.

"I am cautious with him," added Wenger. "Imagine you are 20 years old and you play in the national team. You prepare and suddenly, nothing at all.

"You get the first knock, the second knock, you think ‘OK, at least I will be ready for the Euro.’ Then you have to convince him, ‘look my friend, it will not work for the Euros.’ You knock him down again. Then, you set him another target. If he doesn’t make it, he will lose a complete appetite for rehab because it's difficult.

"You must work every day out there, not knowing when you come back. If you say, ‘you can go to the Olympics’ and he doesn’t make it, what do you give him after? Let’s take our time and not set any specific targets. The most important thing for him is to focus on day-to-day work and see if he can get better."

Arsenal's players begin pre-season training in July and Wenger would like Wilshere to be involved. But he knows there are no guarantees.

"I do not want to set the Olympics as a target [for him] because I do not know whether he will be fit to start at the beginning of the season," he said. "It is just our target to get him to improve.

"When we start on July 9, if he can join in then we have won the battle, but that is not guaranteed."

Sell him, he's broke.

Devastating tbh. Heart-breaking imo.

Will be a huge sigh of relief if he makes it back.

Hope this isn't career threatening. I know we don't know the medical ins and outs of what's happened, but this feels like another Rosicky situation, where the comeback date is pushed further and further into the future.
