Injuries and consistency wrecked Theo’s time here, I can’t hate the guy.
He is capable of being a dangerous nuisance and can produce top class finishes. He showed that throughout his time here. I can’t blame him if he is happy to show it again.
Walcott is probably at about 50% of his powers, and is playing a major role on a team fighting for a top 4 place. Giroud is doing the same on Chelsea and in the CL. Just goes to show u how far this club have fallen.
It kinda reminds me (you’re from the States so forgive me if you’re not familiar with this) of those football sticker albums we used to buy as kids.
When it came to swapping duplicate stickers with friends, Arsenal are swapping stickers they already need rather than doubles. They’re swapping 2 needed stickers for a “shiny” in some cases, too.
I think it was either the team’s star player or foreign player. So not only would they have a regular sticker (head, shoulders, smile) but also a shiny on the next page
He’s the reason I know my gf is a proper Man U fan. When growing up her sister had a Beckham poster on the wall due to his non threatening boy band good looks, whereas my gf had Petey Schmikes and his big old red nose adorning hers.
I can’t enjoy that moment as that was really the start of the end of Theo’s efficiency as a player.
He was electric prior to this match and there was no reason for Theo to play intensively at that point in the match. Never recovered after that.
