How does Theo Walcott get a call up when Arsenal haven't even played him since his signing? |

Eriksson admitted he was taking a gamble after selecting untried Walcott, who is yet to make a first-team appearance for Arsenal after joining from Southampton in January. 'It is a gamble, of course it is a gamble I can't deny that but it is a nice one,' he said. 'He is a great talent. I have 23 players, why not take one gambling?' (source: www*bbc*co*uk) |

Well lets just be thankful that Sven wont be around after, but keep our fingers crossed Steve McLaren doesn't stick with Svens' buddies for future games..lol! |

Dont follow football these days, to many prima donna's, but I think Wayne Rooney had better borrow my old footy boots, you could kick a brick wall down with them without getting hurt, he'd probably send the ball through the net not just into it with them. Len |

I have to agree with the majority of views on here and say that I am not very comfortable with his selections. xx |

Do you think he got the names mixed up, well he is foreign he might think Wright phillips is actually Owen. Or he watches different games to us. Some deserving players have now got to watch it back home instead of being out there and part of it. Hope McClaren does a better job but then he is assistant at moment wonder if he had much input? |

Isn't Mickey Rooney a bit old for football? And shouldn't he be playing for the USA? Puzzled of Warwickshire |
