I agree with what he is saying. I cant see him at the world cups unless he really pulls his socks up.

Chris Waddle is a c**t.

The only thing good about him is his rascal haircut

That haircut is saying business at the front.......party at the back.

Theres too much expectation on Theo, lets remember Henry didn't really fulfil his potential till around 24. Infact both of their paths so far are pretty similar.

Admitted he had a poor spell at Juve, but he was already a France regular and was hugely influential in France's earlier group games in 98' finals before picking up an injury.
The only comparison between The and TH is the number on their back Theo is shit end of.

From Arseblog :-

I have to say it's a little disappointing that Theo Walcott appears to have toed the England/FA party line with his comments about the incident. I understand he was probably asked about it directly, he could just have easily said 'no comment'. Or called Shawcross a reckless thug, either would have worked fine for me. Anything but the brainless platitudes we've had to put up with all week from 'out there'.


And I totally agree, Walcott should shut his stupid little mouth. He's obviously been told to say this but he should show loyalty to Arsenal Football Club and his colleagues there rather than try to play 'Goody Two Shoes' for the benefit of the FA - not to mention Shawcross and Pulis.

This isn't the first time this gobby overrated little so and so has shown wanton disregard for Arsenal's interests and it won't be the last.

I have just about had it with this little prick. We are paying him a kings ransom for next to nothing. He showboats around for us and seems more interested in his own agenda than anything we do.

If Adeybayour talked himself out the Club - Walcott is heading down the same road. :evil: :evil: :evil:

My issue with Theo is the talking up his England chances when he hardly nails down a 70 minute spell at the Arsenal. Mouth shut, head down and graft son. The rewards will come of ya good enough.

make no doubt about it, if theo can control the ball a bit better and keep it with him when he runs with the ball he will be a world class player. Waddle is trying to up Lennon's chances but Capello is not stupid, he picks Walcott with knowledge that he can be a wilcard as people cannot anticipate his burst of speed, just ask McCartney. If Lampard had converted his chance, Walcott's praises would of been heard. The most you can do as a player if you're not scoring goals is put balls in the box and try to make assists, if the other player does not convert them you cannot be held accountible. Capello would of noted his first half assist but its the media that are focusing on Walcott as they are so desperate for another star besides Rooney

Is it Hleby ? I don't think so. I'm not asking Walcott to launch into a diatribe against Shawcross but to parrot the 'he's got a heart of gold and is something of a victim in all this' line, doesn't just let Shawcross of the hook. It endorses the Hanson, Parker, Macari, Collymore reaction which I find even more reprehensible than Shawcross's tackle.

Giving him the benefit of the doubt - he didn't intend it. The same cannot be said of the agenda offered by his apologists. Walcott - or any Arsenal player - should not line up alongside them.

Like Shawcross, Walcott has 'previous'.

He showed wanton disrespect to Wenger and the Club when he signed his multi million pound contract at the start of the season and then stated baldly, that his big ambition was next years World Cup. And this latest outburst is a step too far. At least for me and possibly Arseblogger too.

I fully admit, I don't like him as a player, I think he's overhyped and a waste of space. He costs us a fortune. He hardly ever plays and if that wasn't bad enough, he shows little sign of being an Arsenal man.

So he's got an awful lot of ground to make up in my eyes if he's ever going to redeem himself. We are stuck with him because Wenger would have to eat a lot of humble pie to turf him out. But that's Wenger's fault and doesn't make it right for the Club in the meantime.
