Yeah, Theo spent a great deal of the season out injured but when fit he was Arsenal’s first choice on the right side of midfield. Now that Arsene has seemingly switched to a 4-3-3 he’ll start on the right wing.

@Joep-Walcott did in fact spend much of last season injured. Shoulder injury, if I recall correctly.

I’m sure Bigus would have been pleased with the Canaries 4-0 win today…

@Joep: Hush your mouth! We have Ingerlund’s next great hope in Jack Wilshire. At least that’s what the Gooner message boards have been saying.

disculpa. was he out injured last year? I made sure to glance at the stats before posting that and from what I saw he played somewhere around 20 games last season. regardless, the point I tried to make is that its a shame Arsenal has but one player, and not a solid starter as far as I knew although that may have been wrong, who is eligible for the national team.

Er..Yes he is Wengers starting right winger Joep and possibly the most exciting young talent that’s been there in many years. Keep up son!

“You can bet your mortgage that Capello has promised Wenger [...] he won’t ruin [his] players 3 days from the start of the season.”

And who might that be?

He is fuming like most managers and fans. Shocking stupidity. FIFA are becoming like the MLS.
