Jack Wilshere shuts down big six bias to support West Ham.

The media constantly belittle teams outside the big 6, it’s not hidden. The big 6 are made out to be the be all and end all of English football when, in reality, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Clubs like West Ham are absolutely vital to the Premier League and they wouldn’t have had some of the country’s best players without them.

Declan Rice, despite his lack of trophies, is undoubtedly one of the best midfielders in the world at Arsenal. However, the narrative that he has massively improved under Arteta is simply false.

Martin Keown tried reciprocating this lie live on TNT Sports, particularly saying he’s improved on the ball. Fortunately, Rice’s former teammate, and boyhood Hammer, Jack Wilshere was quick to shut this down by saying he was just as good in claret and blue.

It really is frustrating having to constantly defend a player who joined a London rival for his time at the club, but it just plays into the mentality of those big 6 fans otherwise.
