Excellently lame excuse rules out Theo

Excellently lame excuse rules out Theo

Theo Walcott is the latest Arsenal player to withdraw from international duty; apparently he’s got a little bruise.

The England winger joins Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (tummy ache) and Laurent Koscielny (grazed knee) in the queue outside Colin Lewin’s office as speculation mounts that supplies of Calpol and Mr Bump plasters are running low at London Colney.

Steve Bould has called each player’s respective guardian and they are understood to be making the necessary arrangements to pick them up.

The trio are expected to have an early night and should be fit for Saturday’s match with Sunderland assuming cartoons and ice cream cheer them up in the next couple of days.

(On a serious note – well done Arsene, you’re catching on. *insert emoticon wink  here*)

  1. Stories like this are exactly why I shouldn’t read Arseblog news at work! LMFAO!

  3. Can we sell RVP today and get TV5 to injure him in the friendly ?

  4. I just pray to God that Cazorla will return from South America (Puerto Rico) fit for fight for Sunday. It may be a bit tight though :(

    Agree with the extra point at the end, Gerrard has been getting away with it for years!

    • Pong of the OxCoq

      Theo at Klanfield playing with the racist rodent toothed Suarez…. If it does happen, the move would be money motivated ala Na$ri…. Just can’t see why he would move to Liverpoo for footballing reasons…
      Anyone else notice that Liverpoo have slowly been getting rid of their colored players… Johnson is the only first teamer left…

      • OR it could be because he’s a massive Liverpool supporter, so much so that the chance to play for the team he loves is too tempting to turn down, champions league or not.

      • Lol Theo is a smart kid, why would he go to Liverpool??? It makes no sense.

        Micah Richards & Shawn Wright Phillips both grew up as gooners, and guess what they both play for teams that aren’t Arsenal!!!!
        I mean its an outrage. lol

      • I don't comment here often

        How about we shut the fuck up about Klanfield and KKKenny and all that nonsense? And who says “colored” anymore? Are you a plantation owner?

        The best way to move past the Suarez/Evra thing is to have some class and stop mentioning it. It doesn’t even involve Arsenal. Liverpool fans are paranoid as it is. Let’s not start giving them legitimate reasons to moan.

      • Frankly speaking its extremely unlikely we’ll sell walcott, rvp AND song in the next 2 weeks. 1 out definitely (pursey). Song is unlikely to go (long contrat), theo’s the same (seems fairly intelligent and has no darren “snake” dein). I think we’ll sell rvp, bendtner, squid and park (loan/sell/delist). I reckon chamakh will stay at 3rd choice striker. Probably another midfielder and one defender in. 2 in, 4 out. And we’ll still be significantly stronger than last season.

    • I don’t know why fatgooner is getting so badly negged for putting forward a reasonable hypothesis. Some facts:
      Theo’s a liverpool fan
      He’s got a year left on his contract and doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to renew
      He wants silly money
      His slow rate of development must frustrate the fuck out of Wenger
      Liverpool have a new manager who must recognise the need for a winger who isn’t Stuart ’0 goals, 0 assists’ Downing

      • Plus he has some serious competition for a starting place this season, I personally can’t see him starting many games and only being used as an impact substitute.

  14. Surely it would just save time to create a single statement for all players at once: “Arsenal Football Club announced today that the entire first-team squad has been affected by an outbreak of bubonic plague. The club’s medical team expects all players to make a full recovery over the coming three to four days.” I mean, since we’re already taking the piss and all…

  15. Keep rvp there by all means. Let him stay there, far away from the rest of the arsenal players. Far….far away!.

  17. We are catching up big time, why has TV5′s injury sprang up?

    He’s definitely going to be our new captain when grey-haired guy leaves and we don’t want some pointless international friendlies getting in his way to lift all the trophies we’ll win the time around!

  18. I’m sure he could use this as inspiration for a new book.
    The day Little Jimmy slightly knocked his little jimmy when he sat down and it surprisingly hurt for about five minutes then went away.

  19. Blogs what are your thoughts on Llorrente? He’s just done a Van Persie and refused to extend his contract, while Arsene has had his cheeky eye on someone

  24. These one off friendles need to go away. If there’s to be an international break, make it at least 2 games. Does Ivory Coast really need to play Russia? Do these frieindlies help a team gel for the World Cup qualifying campaign?!

  28. Please tell me we can flog Theo and Song for decent money. Reinvest in a Martinez from Span or M’vila etc. Plenty of better players out there.

    RVP is the magician who is difficult to replace but again its not impossible. Maybe make a loss for once and replace him with real quality, Arsene?
