Just seen a totally unfair article, and as I'm not allowed to comment on it il write my own to defend a guy that's receiving so much undeserved stick its unreal.
We all know Theo divides opinion, he ain't the most technically gifted player and never will be, he can also be very frustrating I agree. He's had a dip in form just like any player can have, but overrall he's generally had a really good season.
Most of you give constructive criticism on our players including myself. I am not a massive fan of either Ramsey or Gervinho but i will praise them if they work hard and contribute for us. But there are couple of fans who are just blinded by stubbornness and ignorance when it comes to judging our players, particularly Theo.
He's our top scorer and top assister, he's shown loyalty when he could of seen out his current deal and got an even bigger deal. Surely the guy deserves a little respect?. This is the last I'm writing on him, tired of making the same points to a few peeps.
P.s- I will let everyone have a say

His work-rate off the ball isn't acceptable

I value people with different opinions on him that give an honest argument. I can't stand fans that have already decided he's cack therefore there gonna go with that judgement even when he has a really good game.

Hello, Just to add my opinions. It is still without doubt whatsoever that Mr Walcott is a average championship player. No skill whatsoever, cannot pass, cannot cross, cannot dribble, cannot control a football, cannot head a ball, do I need to carry on, he also cannot finish, most of his goals are mishits and most goalies are fooled by his lack of ability to connect with a ball properley. End of.

What was i saying about ignorent and stubborn supporters.
Yet he's our top contributor Garwood, so what does that say for the rest of our team then.

I love Walcott always have and always will do. He is a key player for us. Yes at times he can be frustrating and anonymous but that isn't always his fault. Sometimes he isn't given the best of service.
20 goals this season enough said. Without him I highly doubt we would be in the top 4. It also annoys me when people constantly slate him yet defend Gervinho when he is a headless chicken majority of the time.

Teams would kill for a goal scoring winger and we have one.

No he's not the most gifted footballer in the league, but he produces more than any others of the current crop. You do not need to be technically amazing to be a good footballer, look at someone like Mario Gomez for Bayern. Absolute stink of a touch and no set of skills at all, but so important for Bayern and Germany because what does he do,he scores goals!
He is also the only player that brings pace to our slow game at the moment, without him our style of play would be even more side to side than it is now. I couldn't care whether his contribution to 34 goals came against the top teams or relegation battlers, the point is he has got us 34 goals!
How many other players in the league can say the same....

This is spot on

I said a similar thing to this on the other article.
Walcott should not divide opinions like he does.
Decent player? Yes
World class? No
Worth 100k p/w ? No
Were we right to pay it? Yes.
And whatever the manc's on here might like to claim, if we'd let his contract run down you can guarantee Fergie would of been in for him

now imagine we had two players doing this from either side and with full backs who commit the opposition, it would give the likes of santi, jack and tomas all the space they would need to ping the ball about and start taking some shots. We don't shoot much from outside the box now because there are 10 players behind the ball usually
