Did Walcott dive for the red card?

[Champagne Charlie]

I agree Walcott’s inconsistency can frustrating at times, but I’m genuinely starting to feel sorry for the guy. He can’t seem to do anything right in some peoples eyes.

People heap so much pressure on the guy its unreal, particularly at the Emirates. Every time he gets the ball the expectancy amongst the fans goes sky high and unless he scores or creates a goal scoring opportunity then suddenly he’s “shit, clueless, not got a football brain” and other such bollocks.

Honestly I think if the fans could get off his back for a while and actually support the guy (even if he makes the despicable error of being tackled!) then he might actually flourish and begin to fulfil his potential on a more regular basis.

Most strikers choke 50% of the time. People remember all their goals and not their misses.

remember Henry he missed loads of sitters and look how many goals he scored.

Henry didn't miss 'loads of sitters' relative to the goals he scored.

And there's a difference between having a good shot and missing (which is what top strikers do) compared to choking under the pressure (Henry CL final 2006, and Walcott every other game, for example).

of course he cheated he is a sly little bastard that one, you have to watch him, he is like a slightly chinese looking Lewis Hamilton.

Gervinho and Walcott have been swapping sides quite regularly in the games they've played together. To good effect as well. They probably both trust each other to swap at the right time. In fact, the Gervinho - RVP - Walcott front three is pretty fluid and should get better the more they all play together.

Pretty much, people still try and bring up Henry when referring to Walnut...chalk and cheese...one was world class and scored a hatful of goals, the other is hyped up to be world class and only scores a hatful in his dreams!

Not going to happen with the injury record of Wally and RVP.. Chakma should fit right in!

Henry was a bit shit at 22 though

Good Wenger bought him and turned him in to the 2nd best Arsenal player of all time.

Theo is unfortunate he has Cunt Wenger coaching him. Nevertheless, still pretty damn good. Harry for coaching him at Southampton

[Dog Toffee]

THE best. Bergkamp didnt have his pace, power, goalscoring/assist record, Hence Bergkamp<Henry.
