Theo OUT

[Bradywasking]

Don't think Theo deserved his place to be honest...but the rest of the squad contradicts Capello's yardstick for selection..Upson ahead of Dawson on club form wrong call..Carrick ahead of Parker on club form wrong call....Heskey ahead of Bent on club form wrong call...SW Phillips ahead of Adam Johnson again wrong call. None of those left out are world class but are better than those in the squad.

[1989]

He's shit, and Capello realized that.

Will Wenger?

[Connolly55]

He didn't deserve to go, simple as.

[O'Leary]

Was he "genuinely surprised" not to be going? I could have told him that he wasn't going. He's been shit all season. 1 decent half against Barca and 1 good game for England.

Robert Green had a far more laid back approach to the dreaded "phone call". Saw him in Newmarket at Pizza Express. Mmmm food.

Unlucky Theo. Maybe spend the summer praticing your final ball, as it's woeful.

D'ya know what? I fucking hate them too. I am English and can't stand the national team. It's full of disgusting, thick, brainless chav scum, thugs, run by a bunch of corrupt, sex pests and supported by some vile, racist, xenophobic, crunts. Watcing any international tournament that England play in, is a wholly unenjoyable experience.

And don't forget the Ingerland fans. You know, the ones who travel to the tournaments and spend their entire time smashing up city centres, punching random people in the face and throwing beer all over innocent women. Also disgusting, thick, brainless chav scum, but then that's today's society for you.

And the most laughable aspect is the way they'll all throw their England flags down the gutter once they're eliminated from the tournament - that's really fucking patriotic, that is. People mock the Americans, but at least their patriotism doesn't revolve around a month-long sporting event that takes place once every four years.

[SCREAM AIM FIRE]

I’d rather he’d gone, purely in the hope Capello might have taught him something but hey ho. Hopefully it’s a kick in the bollocks for him & he realises doing something for Arsenal should be his priority & getting a game for England will follow as a by-product. Maybe now he'll bother to actually work on the weak parts of his game - namely everything except running & man-marking the linesman.

this is what i was hoping for, a month of being around rooney and players with end product would have done him the world of good.

[This Is The Daybreak]

He's had his moments, Barcelona at home and Burnley at home spring so not good enough to go. Hopefuly this'll make him get his head down and work harder for Arsenal, become more consistant. There are certain players imo who seem to place more emphasis on their international career than their club one, Theo looks like he might be one of them. Michael Owen was another I felt, even David Seaman to a certain extent. Just the way they come across when interviewed

[merse_10]

Im delighted he isnt going! i fucking hate England anyway, and now there is no Arsenal player anywhere near the squad i can hate them 100% and hope they fail miserably!

You hate england and/or the english

I hate the England football team, everything about it! I have never supported them and seem to hate them more and more as each major tournament comes around!

If England manage to cock up in that piss easy group and go out i will personally walk round snapping those poxy little England flags off peoples card! Saddest thing ive ever seen!

oh yes.i personally challenge you to a game of who can snap off the most,its so pathetic.not one of those knobs with a flag on their car can tell you when st george's day is either but they're the most patriotic englishmen ever(well,for 2 weeks every 4 years anyway :awnker: )

[wlchuccc]

Theo is shit...wish you can go and so we can leave him there

[safcftm]

Good, one of his few sensible decisions

[IrishJB]

Here go the 'nutters' again (or maybe it's all just in jest on this forum and others...?).

But unless we stop this bullsxxt and GET OFF HIS BACK! (especially while he's prob feeling pretty down)...there is a MASSIVE danger it'll carry over to when the season starts and the cronies / boo boys that we have at the Club will try to do the same to him (at just 21!) ( they tried to do to the confidence of Song, Bendner & Eboue in recent times).

I detest Chelski, but didn't Lampard say that's one of the reasons why he won't be leaving Chelski, ie their so called 'supporters' staying loyal to the players when things aren't going quite right?

We are ARSENAL and a class above that lot, but we need to remember our responsibilities (i hope) when at games...just a warning to us all...

He probably did, but then, John Terry said how much he loves the club etc just after being ready to walk away to man city until his beloved chelsea gave him a large wage rise

Players are full of shit- lampard is happy at chelsea because they pay him a fuck load and if barca etc came in and offered him a larger fuck load, he'd sharp fuck off there as well

It's one thing to keep faith in good players when they're going through a rough patch. But to have blind faith in a player with limited abilities and who shows little signs of improvement is unrealistic.

"unlucky Theo"

safcftm - We all know that what many players say is prob bullsxxt [as you say money talks) my point re Chelski is he had the frkn cheek (lampard) to mention us Gooners getting on the backs of our players, we (or should i say those that get on their backs during a game) don't exactly give the rest of us a good name.

Bring Back Pires - Did any of us really think (at the time of his horror show - at Fulham a few years ago), that Song would really turn the corner & IMO he showed less talent then than Walcott has shown - albeit nothing great to date as most of us agree upon...And he's def young enough to improve/turn the corner surely we agree on that?.....
