    Players like him who can really only kick a ball and chase it at a faster pace than most, are always perfectly suited for that role, imho.

    Also, out wide is where they are more effective.

    If that's all he's good for how has he scored almost 20 goals this season? Are all of them flukes?

    walcott has gone off the boil since febuary but i don't get this idea that he's switched off after signing a new deal. he scored in four games in a row after doing that.

    i'd much rather have him than keep relying on gerv putting in a run of form.

    He's got 18 goals, 11 in the PL. Cazorla has more than him in the PL from the midfield. Mind you the Spaniard has scored more than our other shit striker Giroud too. We have the worst attacking options I can ever remember. It takes Walcott almost 5 games to get 1 goal in the PL. Hardly what you'd call a prolific. Looking at the stats he's scored 2 crucial goals in the PL this season resulting in 2 points.

    In summary - he's as poor as they come (except in terms of wages)

    Fact is, Walcott wanted big money and a big role, he got them, he delivered nothing in return.

    EDIT: Ran VPersie's numbers this season at UTD, fucking amazing. 11 crucial goals resulting in an extra 21 points. The pretender's purple patch goes on.

    Certainly they aren't the whole picture.

    There's also talent, application, attitude, technical ability including trapping, passing, crossing, dribbling and tackling. Do we even need to run numbers to figure out how Theo is doing?

    People are sentimental about him and he chose to come to us when he had other choices. So I understand why he gets the support he does. It just goes a bit too far for people to say they like him for his football ability because he has very little of that.

    That sure is a lot of things he can't do.

    One thing he does do rather well though is humiliate you time and time again hence the hatred.

    The little rants against him are funny though. I like the lie about the money one best. Keep it up. With Charlie dead, ollie suicidal and me being watched by the mods, there's very little entertainment on here.
