    Well how about a comparison to the many other 16 year olds we see come and go at Arsenal? As said, many just don't make it at this level and get shipped off to lower leagues or smaller clubs.

    Jesus, I'm not talking about his play 7 years ago.

    Just accept you got it wrong and kill yourself.

    You're embracing your new non-modness, I see.

    Expectations were way too high initially because of all the press hype. Most Arsenal fans were far more realistic but Walcott hasn't consistently delivered as much as was hoped even allowing for that. He is still relatively young but already Oxo is looking more like the player we all hoped Walcott would be.

    I'll fuck off if you kill yourself, but you'll have to take out GP first.

    OK?

    The point is simply this.

    Arsenal fans have shown a lot of patience for Walcott.

    I've changed my mind.

    Leave GP alone and get this chump.

    He lives on top of a chip shop.

    At 16 he was hailed as the next Rooney and Henry. Before he even kicked a ball for us. Expectation levels were too high and of he'd have been signer up as just another one of Wenger's kids, perceptions would probably be different.

    Over the full 7 year period, there were initial high expectations, they then became expectations, with a lot of patience. Now, I just hope for a performance that isn't brainless and we don't always get that.

    He is better than the bulk of his performances and I think the main problem now is people have from last season really lost patience with the inconsistency that he shows.
