Walcott out of World Cup shock

[Willy Dangle]

Didn't know a coin could cause so much damage

 

[Commander]

If there is one type of player England aren't short on, it's the small, fast mixed race winger who consistently makes the worst of promising situations.

And has a complete inability to make the right decisions.

That said, Walcott has been much better the last year or so, he's a reasonably exciting Premier League attacker. And the England team don't have many at that type of level these days.

Shame, he's always come across as a nice guy too.

The first of 6 or 7 of the squad to be ruled out, it's that time of year. When Rooney's absence from the world cup is announced I'll be well and truly gutted. Typical pre-world cup England injury crisis.

 

[Mowgli37]

I'm disappointed, on his day he can be a wonderful game changer and I much prefer him on the right than James sodding Milner!! Having said that, this is a great chance for Andros Townsend (very excited about his potential) to cement a place in the England team. He'll need to hold down a Spurs spot though.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

What, like Joe Hart?

When did Joe hart move to Spurs?

Perhaps he thought Spurs had named their ground after him!

Real shame watching on the box the other night I thought he was looking like a centre forward

Spurs fans are OVER THE MOON on Twitter!! Literally frothing with excitement.

It's bizarre.

I was at the Arsenal/Spurs game (don't ask) and it was a ridiculous situation.

Walcott went down (and we now know he was suffering a serious injury). Spurs fans were going MENTAL that he was wasting time and the coins started reigning down towards him before he was even on a stetcher.

He then smiled and did a 2-0 sign. Silly perhaps but funny (and the fa have decided to take no action). Some spurs fans were literally trying to get out of te stand to get to him. It was amazing.

Obviously football hatred is always illogical....but this hatred towards walcott is HILARIOUSLY pathetic.

Either way, gutted for him. Considering we will set up purely for counter attack in Brazil, Roy will be in despair. Great player and has a brilliant assist/goal record in recent seasons. A compete myth that he "wastes" chances.

I do find it quite amusing how the supporters that feel they have a right to have a pop at players but not expect anything back say stuff like 'they are overpaid prima-donnas'. Yet, when they get irate, how do they show their displeasure towards the player who is their target? They throw coins at him. That's far more ironic than finding 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife.

Sturridge
Rooney
Wellbeck
Townsend
Barkley
Morrison
Oxlade-Chamberlin
Wilshere
Sterling.

But yeah you right not many decent premier league attackers at all!

 

[jimhigham]

Simply feel sorry for him. He's now missing out on what is a genuinely promising season for his club and the possibility of a World Cup. Poor bloke.

 

[Luke93]

Time for Townsend to step up even more!

Hasn't James Milner been an integral part of city's recent good form?

Why did you have to mention his ethnicity, you giant RACIST.

Of those, Rooney is actually at a world class level, a few show potential to get there one day and most of them don't. Doesn't say a whole lot really.

Afraid I've never really rated him for England.

 

[JCL - the new kid in town]

He's never stood out however he has been used as a utility player rather than playing to his strengths. He's generally a consistent player but rarely outstanding and you need those in your squad.

YEP WHAT PRICK SITS ON A STRETCHER GIVING IT THE LARGE ONE unaware he's crocked and earning an obscene amount of money

Sort of player Hodgson likes because he grafts for the team and is prepared to do the ugly stuff when the team doesn't have possession, which is probably likely to be more than 50% of the time in the matches England play against Italy and Uruguay. He's been deployed a lot of the time at City in a more central position.
