I agree with NQ on this 100%. Couldnt have put it better myself although would have made it shorter!

But when Eisfeld and Giroud came on they created the environment for Walcott to prosper. These were the pair who swung the match, not Theo Walcott.

As I said, Walcott doesn't have that capability himself. He's had his FEW moments, there's potential there for sure. A hat-trick vs Croatia, one decent half for England more recently with nothing in the intervening years. Half the time anonymous for us and even in his good games he's atrocious for 50% of them, giving the ball away, making blind runs. You see the good stuff and ignore the bad. Then you say give him the money, let him dictate. That's your opinion, that's fine. I say he's not half the player you make him out to be and the evidence of years bears that out. And I say let him put in plenty more decent performances on a regular basis and then we'll see about the money.

He's either with us or he's somewhere else. Right now he's saying if he gets his way he'll stay. I don't care if he's scoring goals against Reading in the Mickey Mouse Cup. I care if he's going to be around delivering consistent performances. Playing where he's told to play and putting in a 100% shift each game. If we're going to let Walcott dictate then why not every other player? What makes Walcott so special? Goals in the Carling Cup? So Chamakh scored too, lets have him in to decide where he wants to play and how much we need to pay him. Let's do it for all of them and see where that gets us.

You have 100% support for a player that has at best lukewarm support for us. I don't. Made that mistake with RvC, won't be making it again. It's about the team, we win fuck all ever if we don't have a unified team that puts the team first. Plenty of other players out there who would be happy to be here and could put in a much more consistent showing then Walcott. Why we should be expected to bow to him I have no idea. Should be the other way around, he should be kissing our arse. Let me know when he's committed to the club again and I'll reciprocate. Until then don't bore me with this Theo worship.

Oops, stopped reading right there. I assume you went on to make your usual points. In which case I refer you to what I've already said. Let me know when Walcott is an Arsenal player.

I know i was joshing.

NQ is right. To conclude anything about anyone from last night is mental.
Of course the WUMs and those with agendas use it to back up their case but the fact is last night was a freak game from which nothing sensible can be concluded.

That said, Walcott's stats last season were #decent. What he needs to do is get consistent.

Yes, just a little bit.

We all want to see Walcott take it to the Mancs and smash 2 goals past them this weekend after running them ragged, right? Then he can talk about money, then we can talk about a future that involves Theo Walcott.

No chance of that, we will show great spirit and togetherness however we will be lacking a little bit of sharpness and will be a little tired after Tuesday's match.

It is, however, highly unlikey that Theo will run Patrice Evra ragged. And it is even more unlikely that he will score two goals.
