Jack Wilshere is sick of repeating himself.
The Arsenal midfielder politely answered everything asked of him in his post-match interview after Arsenal’s dramatic 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace on Thursday night but he has clearly grown tired of answering the same old questions every time he shows glimpses of what he’s capable of.
Having been hailed as “the future of English football” by Barcelona legend Xavi, Wilshere endured a tough few years but produced a fantastic display against Palace, setting up Alexis Sanchez for what would ultimately prove to be the deciding goal.
The 25-year-old is out of contract in the summer but he remains confident of seeing his deal at the Emirates extended despite the fact that manager Arsene Wenger has claimed that financial considerations were getting in the way of an agreement.
“We’ll see when he [Wenger] speaks to me but I’m sure it will get done,” Wilshere said.
The midfielder, who spent last season on loan at Bournemouth, was clearly none too pleased with the line of questioning from Sky Sports’ interviewer Geoff Shreeves, however.

After Shreeves asked whether he felt he was back to his best, Wilshere was interrupted by teammate Shkodran Mustfai, who’d opened the scoring.
“They love that question!” Mustafi joked.
“Every week,” Wilshere muttered before reciting the standard response that he felt would get him out of the interview as quickly as possible.
