Can't crack the starting 11? Hahaha. Let's say you didn't know about Wilshere's injury. Did you not see one Arsenal game last year when he became a fixture of the starting 11? Apparently not.

Walcott used as a sub was either Wenger didn't want him to play for long, or he felt he'd be better of the bench in that particular game.

I'd comment about how good can he be when he's not starting but Boas left Drogba on his bench allllllong time today.

Exactly. You can't judge things from one game. Walcott became a starting 11 fixture last season, as did Wilshere (as was noted above). And even if Arshavin starts this year over Walcott, that says nothing about Theo having a lack of ability. Wenger may just think he wants Walcott's speed coming in the 2nd half when players are tired and it can be really exploited.

Might as well get this over with. Not too shocking and it was done by using some of the cleanest and classiest negotiation techniques in the history of the sport.

There are much worse things that could happen.

Plus, I'd rather not qualify for the CL this year if it means we do for next year.
