Wilshire backs Arsenal pal Walcott over Spurs "banter"

Jack Wilshere has backed Arsenal teammate Theo Walcott after his banter with Tottenham away fans on Saturday. The FA will examine video footage of the incident involving Walcott, who was pelted as he made an innocuous gesture indicating the score while being carried round the perimeter track.

Wilshere said: "Theo's a bit smarter than me, I suppose, but I think the Spurs fans were giving him a bit of stick. He'll be an Arsenal legend now. They were giving it to him and he's given a little bit back. People have got to look at it as banter. The Arsenal fans will love that. They love Theo and this is only going to help him."
