Jack Wilshere's Twitter Q&A goes horribly wrong as Arsenal star is abused and trolled

Jack Wilshere recently made his return from injury for Arsenal

Arsenal’s star midfielder Jack Wilshere was subject to abuse and was mercilessly trolled while hosting a Twitter Q&A session organised by ESPN UK. The Englishman has only recently made his return from injury, but the Twitterati did not let up on him, constantly asking questions about his poor injury record, which led to the session predictably being called off.

ESPN UK had the bright idea to organise a Twitter session with the Arsenal man, given that Wilshere had only recently made his return from injury and was in line to be called up to the England squad for the 2016 UEFA Euros in France. Using the hashtag ‘#AskJackWilshere’, ESPN UK’s tweet was innocuous enough:

Have a question for Arsenal's Jack Wilshere? Tweet them to us using the hashtag #AskJackWilshere pic.twitter.com/LUSOgi1VOI

Twitter descended into it’s anarchic and abusive best/worst, as can be witnessed by the tweet below:

@ESPNUK what is the point of you? #AskJackWilshere

With Wilshere’s injury record becoming the stuff of legend, there were those who were quick to make light of the Englishman’s frailness, tweeting:

If you were a horse, which one of your injuries do you think would have got you put down? #AskJackWilshere

Predictably, Spurs fans took Wilshere to task, noting that Wilshere is now second best to Dele Alli in the England lineup.

How does it feel to know that the last time you played 90 minutes of football Dele Alli was preparing to sit his GCSE's? #askjackwilshere

Do you find it frustrating that you haven't got the skill, pace, vision, technical and goal scoring ability of Dele Alli? #AskJackWilshere

Do you get enough Vitamin D despite being in Dele Alli's shadow? #AskJackWilshere

There were also those who made light of Wilshere’s run-ins with the law, as well as his ‘fondness’ for cigarettes.

#AskJackWilshere @JackWilshere How many fags do you plan on bringing back through customs if you go to the Euros?

Predictably, Wilshere cancelled his Q&A after the overwhelming nature of facetious questions. Time to delete the Twitter app, Jack.
