As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

How much ££££££ has he earned (loosely) in these years?
Perhaps someone should ask him where he would be best utilised.
I'm guessing it would be as dog food.
WENGER OUT
Paid? Millions.
Earned? Thousands.
I used to think he was a decent player, but his 'efforts' this season have been one long piss-take.
Charlie nick has written on sky website today that Arsenal would be mad to get rid of wally and reckons that all the other top clubs would be interested if he was for sale
Le tiss, in fairness, says that wally shouldn't go to a top club cos he needs to go somewhere where he is getting regular game time - of course the implication is that wally isn't good enough for the top clubs
"The next four or five years will be absolutely decisive for him because that’s where you make your career, between 26 and 31, 32. That’s where a good player becomes a great player or just remains a good player.”

Can't be arsed to trawl through the match thread but did you see Walcott's attempt at the loose ball after Mannone's header cock up? If ever a player bottled out of a 50/50 challenge even when there's an almost certain goal available then this was it. Shameful

It would be a shock if Wally goes to the euros after his form for the past few months.
Dross Townsend is probably more deserving of a place than our little bottler, that in itself is embarassing.

I posted it in the Sunderland thread yesterday but probably belongs on here for permanent viewing. It was an even bigger highlight than his dazzling midfield wizardry against Palace last week.
And it wouldn't be complete without the words under the caption in the John Cross article posted above:
''Success story: Theo Walcott has been brilliant for Arsenal since joining 10 years ago''

That was embarrassing to watch. What an absolute gutless little fucker he is.
as said on here by many before, the man is the perfect reflection of modern arsenal.
guttless, weak, happy with himself even when he has been shite, always talking himself up etc. i've never actually hated an afc player like him before, even gus fucking caeser. the man offers us nothing, he doesn't even have the bottle to try and take players on any more, if he doesn't use his pace he does nothing.
what better to feed his ego than offer him another fucking scandalous huge bumper contract, and for roy "i look like a fucking constipated, boss eyed owl" hodgson picking him for his shitty little england side for the euros next season. fucking fuck

Absolutely. I gave Campbell a lot of stick when he first turned out for us but to be fair he has put in consistently decent performances for us this year and is a real pain in the arse for defenders. Plus bringing him off the bench changes the tempo and helps create space for other players as he is happy to get it and drive inside. Unlike Walcott who hangs around on the periphery making no impact.
