A tribute to the Arsenal genius

Best Jack Wilshere tweets

Last night saw the confirmation of something we'd been hoping and praying was true. After his impressive England debut last week, Jack Wilshere took to the pitch at Emirates Stadium and cemented his status as a genuine footballing God (or at least a demi-god).

His awesome performance against Barcelona has caused a tidal wave of fans to show their support for the 19-year-old Arsenal player.

We've assembled some of the finest tweets here for you to read, repeat and chant while ordering your bumper back of Wilshere memorabilia:

"@GleenHornet Wilshere was wicked last night, he's just like my cousin Tim but much better at football."

"@GleenHornet Tim's got better sideburns though...

"@GleenHornet My cousin Tim's 10 years old.

@kunhaikal i need a new wallpaper. bye bye super mario. hello jack wilshere.

@TheBig_Sam‎ Wonder if Theo Walcott and Jack Wilshere use the same spirit level to cut their hair.

@churchofsoccer‎ Somebody buy Jack Wilshere an ice cream cone. Wonderful performance tonight.

@andrewdickens Funny how you never see @jack_wilshere and Jesus in the same room.

@keithxm23‎ Jack JESUS Wilshere

@MrSamsonAnt‎ I wish Arsenal had 10 Jack Wilshere's on that pitch...(10 because I'm not sure how he would play in goal)

@21stWonder #JackWilshere has the same foot size as #ChuckNorriz .... #okbye

@Cullenarama I’d eat my left hand just to shake Jack Wilshere’s hand with my right. Bravo!

@jtheghost I know it's early but, I wanna be #JackWilshere for Halloween.

@asylumuk Jack Wilshere's performance for Arsenal last night was awesome but just think how good he'll be when he hits puberty!
