Crikey I dnt know why people do this 2 Wally all the time, its like they want him 2 failWe have established hes best coming off the bench or playing against the bottom teams at home in the premWhy the f*ck are people calling for him 2 start lol yes start against the European champions smh wers the logicThis guy can get marked outta of a game so easily, even Maxwell cloked his game at the end when he won the 3 kick after reading what Theo was gna do n Theo fouled him..

But if Walcott starts then maybe Maxwell would think twice about going for the overlap and providing width all because of the threat of Walcott's pace.Plus if we get the ball when Barca are in full flow Walcott could be a decent outlet.

But Theo is not a great carrier of the footballRonaldo, Lennon, Messi can carry the ball 60 yards evading defenders, he cnt do that for a whole gameIt wud give them suttin to think abt yes but hes not that intelligent to involve himself in the game, the only reason they wer looking for him so much 2day was coz we wer losing and had tried everything else..I wud rather Rosicky, and put Theo on in the 2nd half, we can not afford 2 play with 10 men

I agree 100% Rosicky should start ahead of Theo.RE: The English pundits ting.When that thread with Phillipe Auclair parring English pundits was about I didn't anyone saying anything in there. SNM.

No way.No f*ck*ng way.smh, when he was commentating about 2 years ago on eurosport he was orite, then he started getting more jobs and all i hear from him is nonsense.

Silly comment yes, but I feel its unfair to single out Stan the Man (who was a genius of a player)The english media have some ghey view about Ibra n want 2 see him fail when in reality the lad is top draw, from Ajax days really

Collymore was one of my fave players back in the day and had bags of potential but he's a prick and chats sh*t regularly.

TRUSS.I really didn't think he should have started today, he looked hazy everytime he got on the ball. Not fresh at all.

Win & Score the equalising penalty?Besides it is a WHOLE different matter at the Nou CampBarca won't take their foot off the pedalYou will be stretched wider...They would have gotten a bollocking from Guardiola after the game tooMessi showed glimpses tonight, at home I'm sure he will be a much more difficult prospect

You mean the foul that wasnt a foul. Your too crazy.

[TF S4DK]

on Theo Walcott's performance..."I don't deny tonight that he had a huge impact when he came on and I am very happy about that. I found it absolutely fantastic. He has qualities which can be useful on a big pitch like the Nou Camp but first let's focus on Wolves on Saturday."Basically Wally starts.
