Just show your girlfriend this picture of the lads watching the Southampton game.
She’ll realise we’re as normal as they come.

His decision making is so bad. But if he can just work on that final ball, I can see the kid being a real talent in the future #potential

A picture of Walcott in a few years time, with the caption:
“Theo Walcott, plays his first competitive match after a four season long knee injury.
His manager said: he has looked good in training and with a few more years under his belt, could become one of the best players in the PL.”

From the age of 21 - 23 Theo scored 45 goals and had 37 assists in all comps, averaging 1 per 106 minutes. That’s elite af, such a shame that MCL injury derailed his career, on off injured from there on out and never fulfilled his potential .

12-14 Walcott was class, up until his injury against Spurs. 14 goals 10 assists in 24 PL starts in 2012-13, 5 goals and 4 assists in 9 PL starts in 2013-14.

I’m thinking about buying a signed Walcott kit, here’s the certificate of authenticity, think it’s legit??
In the right surrounding Theo was a massive player but overall he’s just such strange player, an epitome of inconsitency.
When he was good he was fucking really good, he was among the most important and most productive players on the pitch. Not just the numbers, but also the runs he made, the movement, which was basically vital when we had a relatively slow team in many seasons.
But when he was bad… he was just beyond useless, not even a decent backup. There was no middle ground with him.
Such a strange career for him in his last years here.
I remember after we signed Ozil, and then Theo got an injury at the start of the season I think… I couldn’t wait for his return, we had no other players for Ozil to feed them with his through balls… then he came back, had great numbers in those few matches he played, was great as a CF in that Spurs game in FA cup, and got injured. That game really made me think about his potential as a CF.
I can’t rember much of him in the 2014/15, think he missed most of the season, but had a great few last games of the season as a CF with a hattrick in some game ( idk against who), and the FA cup where he was also great as CF.
And then the opening of the next season… Mostly brilliant as CF, gave us a whole another dimension compated to Giroud, with his link up excange of positions with Alexis. That game against United was one of his very best games at the club, harrased them. It was an absoulte horror decision from Wenger to move Theo back to the wing later theough the season again, and when that happened he collapsed as a player in the second half of season, maybe his worst period in the club.
Then he again resurrected again at the start of the 2016/16, on the wing again, but with Alexis up front who opened space for Theo to run in, and who could hold up the ball to give Theo time to make those runs… Again, fucking Wenger regressed to Giroud and killed everything.
Just fucking shoot me. Wenger’s decisions in those years.

I met Walcott in SoHo once. I walked past him on my lunch break, did a double take then turned around and followed him for about 2 minutes before I had the courage to say hello 
He was wearing a suit. No one wears a suit around soho. I like to think he’d been to sex alley.

Yeah, I didn’t get that, the Theo CF experiment was actually working and because of a little lull in the team’s scoring he moved Theo back to the wing, put in shite Giroud, and a few games later Theo was saying he actually wanted to go back to his position on the RW. What the actual fuck.
Just another example of Giroud being an absolute nuisance in combo with Wenger in the last 10 years.

Can’t blame Giroud at all. Giroud would still be a brilliant plan B, but it was Theo who gave us the tools, with his connection with Alexis, to brake most teams in the league and make us an actually strong attacking side.
Giroud maybe even scored more goals at that time, but he stiffled our most lethal player - Alexis (Alexis with Giroud up front - very inconsistent, flashes of brilliance; Alexis with Theo - world beater (top 10 player in the world). You could say Theo made Ozil more effective too, just made us overall more dangerous… but Wenger’s maths were simple: Giroud scores = team scores. :unai:
Btw… why did Alexis flop at United? Because Mourinho thought he was a winger. :unai:

It is 
Impressed you know it tbh.
Yeah, not gonna lie, I was halfway through writing that I was talking about an actual alley, and then I realised I recognised that line. So I cheated and Googled it to confirm.
Were there any sub appearances that contributed towards those goals and assist figures, or did they all occur in those starts?
Shameful. Simpsons lines shoukd be imprinted in your brain.
“Mr Simpson, our noses are bleeding”
I was never a big Simpsons fan.
