“The hunger is back” – Arsenal fans react as Jack Wilshere is sent-off vs. Man City U23’s


Jack Wilshere saw red for Arsenal U23’s against their Manchester City counterparts on Monday night.

The 25-year-old was named in a strong Gunners side – which included Rob Holding as well as impressive youngsters such as Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Joe Willock and Reiss Nelson – at the Emirates Stadium and it’s safe to say the midfielder had an interesting outing.

In a search for important game time in a bid to return to full fitness following yet another injury setback last season, Wilshere’s evening last just 63 minutes as he was shown a straight red card after pushing City youngster Matthew Smith to the floor.

Reacting to what he perceived was a strong tackle from the City player, Wilshere momentarily lost control and sparked a mini scuffle between the two sets of players before being pulled away and ushered down the tunnel for an early bath.

This incident marred what was a promising showing from Wilshere. He looked good on the ball and even registered an assist for one of Eddie Nketiah’s goals as the Gunners ran out 4-3 winners in north London.

How this affects Wilshere’s chances of forcing his way back into Arsene Wenger’s first-team plans remains to be seen but there was a split reaction among fans on Twitter…

The good….

The bad…

Ceiling fans, curtains and shades… oh my!

By Laura on August 7, 2014 We’ve got less than a month before the new baby arrives, so every weekend has been a mad dash of DIY projects, furniture assembly, and naps (mostly for me!). But we’re slowly and steadily making progress on the toddler’s and baby’s bedrooms. Today we wanted to share our first tasks in these two rooms – putting up new window treatments and installing ceiling fans . Let’s start with the toddler’s bedroom – here’s the moodboard I made to illustrate the design direction we wanted to follow. A. Round Fillsta orange lamp  from Ikea B. Billy bookcase with DIY fabric backboard  (similar to our  previous fabric panel project ) C. Wall paint color is Urban Nature by Benjamin Moore D. Owl prints that we bought when she was born E. A new extendable toddler/twin bed F. Her favorite multi-color circle rug G.  Orange blanket  for her new bed We’re working within the room’s current color palette of greens and oranges, with mostly dark wood furniture . But first, the old ...

Bathroom Shower Design

Every bathroom shower has focal point and relaxation-station potential. When outfitted with appealing materials and specialty showerheads, even compact showers become spa-like sanctuaries. Bathing-beauty indulgences come in all shapes and sizes, but bathroom shower designs usually fall into one of three categories: easily accessed walk -in showers; shower- tub combinations ; and luxurious wet rooms . Walk-in shower designs continue to grow in popularity. You can build a shower that suits any setting or opt for prefabricated shower kits (many newer models come equipped with multiple showerheads , steam options, water jets, and stereo equipment) that are installed on site. These showers are accessed via pivot doors, which swing outward, or bifold or neo-angled doors with two panels hinged in the center that work well on corner showers. Shower and tub combinations suit small spaces and family bathrooms. Set into a three-walled alcove, this setup is enclosed with a shower curtain or a...

Renovating and Remodeling a 1920’s Bathroom

Image
Living in a 1920’s home is wonderful – you get style, character, and an established neighborhood all rolled into one. But some of the antique “innovations” of the 1920s may not cut it for modern use. I mean, let’s face it, plumbing back then was barely in existence, let alone up to modern building codes . But most of us aren’t dealing with a simple and straightforward update to modern systems and styles. No, we’re often undoing someone else’s botched mess. Much of what makes a simple renovation into a full-blown remodel has to do with inferior work performed decades ago . What you have, in our case, was a situation where a bathroom was simply in desperate need of an update to bring it into the 21st century – but while letting it retain a bit of old world charm. That was our challenge—Renovating and Remodeling a 1920’s Bathroom—and we started where all good projects start : at the drawing board.
