    Dont forget that Theo has had to cover at right back earlier on in the season when Jenkinson who has been nothing short of awful playing and Theo had to do his fair share of defensive work then. I remember him giving Jenko a right bollocking during one match and rightly so as he was woefully out of position and made no attempt to get back and Theo had to do it

    I've often thought Ach doesn't believe a lot of the rubbish he types. I think he just goes against majority opinion just for the reaction. The more obviously ridiculous he can make his opinions out to be the better it seems.

    Walcott does track back and that is something that he does really well.

    However he doesn't have a decent final ball and quite often he gets into a good position and then wastes it. He reminds me a lot of Eboue actually - everything is good until he gets near the area and then seems to panic. Although we do see occasional glimpses of good finishing which in some ways makes it worse because he can't do it consistently.

    I do think we don't play to his strengths tbh. Our build up play is quite slow when really we should break quickly and take advantage of his pace.

    The truth is if he really wants 90k we would be better off selling him and paying someone better that money.

    This is the last time I bite.

    You don't believe that. If you watched yesterday you would know Walcott did not have a good game. If you truly believe that then you're easily pleased.

    It's all for reaction and it's tiresome tbh.

    I was at the game yesterday and he got a standing ovation when he was subbed cos we appreciated how he played. That tells me a lot more on how fans think of Theo than a couple of Internet Pub Teamers on the back of a couple of minutes of highlights action

    Finally a sensible post i can relate to

    Not much there i disagree with bar the last line. How do we know he wants 90k? Hes always been a down to earth kind of guy. Never got to big for his boots and always appreciated his footballing roots so it would surprise me if he demanded 90k

    He would have got clapped last week for coming off too had aw taken him off and not for the reason you think. I do have to admire how you stick up for the lad when even he amdits how shite he has been.

    We don't know he wants 90k for sure. We're all working off rumours. Hopefully he doesn't.

    I'd pay him half that tops. Something tells me he is on more already though.

    I was at the game and I don't remember a standing ovation for Walcott so not sure where that came from!?!? If there was one it was probably for Henry / Sagna when they came on?
