WALNUT

lol, england of course lought, my place of birth has not changed because theo aint made it, i think this could be jsut what theo needed tbh, he may get his a*se into gear next season and the rest will do him no harm.

didnt theo say hes happy wiv hes arsenal and england form 2 days ago lol we are happy and so is the na tion happy he will be stayin at home prob off to some youth club. just wish hesky the donkey and upson would of been dropped aswell

staying home wont do theo any harm lought, this could even be the making of him. im quite liking the idea now, i am very surprised by it but i will sleep tonight, i think heskey and upson have earned there places as well, heskey for all his faults is a good foil for rooney and upson has stepped in and done well, the squad is ok but we need to play well to get past the last 16 and the knockout stage.

he needs to get out of arsenal . hes not a winger yet they keep playing him there, he needs to be played up front or in the middle

maybe lought, hes still a kid his time will come.

He did Mark but as all the commentators will say. At least he was in the right place. Next time he will probably score.

You'll note that I didn't defend Walcott.
It's a bit awkward to comment now after the event so to speak, I DID think he would go, I'm NOT surprised he hasn't gone. Walcott looks good running onto the ball around about the half way line and then... errrr... that's about it.
I've had two seasons of it. He was better at the start, now he looks for a sitter all the time. The proverbial walk it into the net setup.
I feel sorry for the lad having been burdened with the first call up at age 17. I still think he will mature, he's still quite young, and this knock back could well be the making of him.

Who do you think it was between? Lennon v walcott or SWP v walcott in Cappello's eyes?
Good luck to Lennon and SWP. For me, I still don't like the way Lennon runs, I'd have SWP in at Arsenal, he fits the bill, a shorta*se that runs like a maniac

Please explain what other chance he needs Dave

lol vis, i am very surprised to be honest as you can probably tell by my foot in the mouth bet i had last night with u, but totally from an england point of veiw i think he should of gone, he has something and would be very dangerous with 20 min to go running at tired defences, he contributed during the campaign with goals and has played at a high level, he was the only player in our side that made an intrnational barcelona defence look ropey for 15 min the other week, im not too sure what swp has done that betters that, but cappello obviously sees it different and im now seeing the positives if this happening, theo will go 1 of 2 ways imo, he will either take the hump and rebel, or get his nut down and strive for better, hes 21 with future ahead of him, i would like to think he will take the second option.

i would of took him but wouldnt be a starter. i would of left upson behind as u have rio terry carrigar and king all can play center back. upson wont get played so whats the point , waste of a sub just like 3 goalies

well said dave theo needs to leave them lot. its why joe cole wont go to them as he wil feel like a stranger if he went there

The hatricks not forgotten,,,,,,,,,,,,, Burger. He just can't continue to do nothing in an England shirt & live off the back of it. Simple AS!

I'm sick and tied of hearing about Wingnut's speed, but he's no faster than Lennon or SWP. Plus they contribute a lot more to the game. He can only run fast with the ball at his feet in a straight line & has no tricks if pace doesn't work then he doesn't work. His end product is at best pitiful since his Croatia wonder game. I don't mind calling it a wonder game as he showed that day what a player he could be & spent every waking minute after going backwards Mate.

Having said that i would have taken him in place of SWP's,,,,,,,,,,,,, in hope we do get another wonder game out of him. We know all about SWP's & he's just not up to it even on his very best day. Even if his end product is still better than Theo's at the moment.

no one is spouting about him and we sort agree he should go, walcott has been poor for us but he shows glimpses of brilliance, is this enough to go to a world cup, i dont know. from what im hearing theres a few factors, his u21 petulance and his talking to the media about the situation did not go down well with cappelo and the fact millner and possibly swp can go in at right back helped there cause, now like i said on anther post this may be the kick up the a*se the spoilt little brat needs, hes 21 jim and has alot to offer, thats 1 thing u can belive me on.

why does everyone go on about the hat trick. england was 2 0 up and croatia just had a man sent off and was chasen the game.
anway i stil think he should be at least in the sqaud

I've posted before and will continue to do so.
Our 35 man reserves & youth squad contains 10 overseas players, 1 Irishman, & TWENTY FOUR ENGLISH PLAYERS.

Whilst we might have a non English style of playing, with the likes of Shawcross out there I think i'm happy about that. Let them clog away at each other.
Our style draws the accolades.
And before you start on about "no silverware" I say enjoy the intermission while it lasts. It's only a matter of time, and won't be as long as 50 years before normal service is resumed.

Baz it used to be about 30 or so of 'em till I done the research and Mark revised his figures ! Most of 'em are about 15 or 16 years old and I stand by my, very fair, figure of no more than 10% of 'em making the 1st team squad. As for regular football ? LOL thats up to the ole myopic one . . . . .
