FA charge harsh says Arsenal midfielder Wilshere

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere believes the charge against him for singing anti-Tottenham songs during the FA Cup parade is harsh.

The FA have charged the Arsenal star after he made derogatory comments towards north London rivals Spurs but believes the entire episode should be viewed as nothing more than a bit of 'fu'.

He said: "We've worked hard all year as a group of players and we've won a trophy. That's the best feeling in the world.

"No matter what job you do, if at the end of the year you get a promotion and a bonus, you're going to go out and celebrate.

"That side of things was a bit harsh but with the charge, what will be, will be."
