Get excited everyone, Theo Walcott’s back for England!
Walcott – prim
It’s weird, some sportsmen/women are absolutely brilliant at what they do, but something about their vibe just doesn’t quite cut it.
This is a condition formerly dubbed “Sally Gunnell Syndrome”, “Tim Henman Syndrome”, for a window in the 1990s it was briefly referred to as “Michael Atherton Syndrome”. And, up until very recently, it was commonly considered to be “Michael Owen Syndrome”.
As syndromes go, it’s not great. It’s now known as “Theo Walcott Syndrome”.
A marvelous prospect though he is, there’s just something cripplingly dull about the Arsenal winger. It could be that he has the whole tucked-in school prefect thing going on, almost as if he’d come round for dinner and literally speak only to make insipid complements about the food. Or it might just be that people prefer their footballers to be rougher around the edges, and angrier, like Rooney.
No one is entirely sure. It MIGHT be the way he runs.
Hence, in a bid to whip up some kind of national frenzy in light of the news that Walcott will reportedly be plugging the Lennon-shaped gap in the England line up on Wednesday, below is the hat trick goal that he scored against Croatia.
Oh, he’s some player, that Theo Walcott!
Just a bit boring.

I think even (English) Arsenal fans will struggle to deny, based on this season’s form, Lennon to Walcott is a huge drop.
Presuming England line up 4-4-2, Milner at RW should be nailed on. At LW … Young has been rubbish all year, but I’d still have him over any one of SWP, Walcott, Cole or Downing.

Dont be a retard mustard.
Walcott’s hardly played this season because of injuries and thats why he hasn’t had the best of seasons but that doesn’t mean he’s shit.
