Wilshere accepts FA charge for Tottenham taunts

The midfielder started an expletive-filled chant during Arsenal's FA Cup celebrations in front of a family crowd, and will now face either a fine or match suspension.Jack Wilshere has accepted a Football Association misconduct charge for starting a foul-mouthed chant about rivals Tottenham during Arsenal's FA Cup celebrations.The midfielder caused controversy as the Gunners toured north London in an open-top bus, grabbing a microphone and shouting "What do you think of Tottenham?" with supporters replying "s***".The taunt continued, with Wilshere being informed while on England duty that he faced disciplinary action, despite apologizing for his actions in a post on Twitter, and the 23-year-old admitted surprise at the charge.
Wilshere has been warned by Arsenal regarding similar behavior in the past and requested a non-personal hearing and will now wait for the decision of an independent disciplinary commission over a fine or suspension.The midfielder, who is currently on international duty, is expected to feature for England against Slovenia on Sunday.
