Nasri and Walcott are the luckiest people in Western Europe

I have been diving between the cricket and the football, France are awful! It would be well and truly hilarious if there were not 3 current Arsenal players playing today!
There has been infighting, inbreeding, potential boycotts and all sorts. Samir was lucky to have not been picked. Things are pretty much the same in the England camp so Theo is in the same boat.
Walcott was given too much too early and it is really beginning to show. Through the season he has been unlucky with injuries but because of the selection policy at Arsenal players are not punished for poor performances he is not dropped for poor showings. Being about the only Englishman at the club has given him popularity with the fans. The hat-trick was one of those things that raised expectation and his profile with the England setup, they also gave him several chances before dropping him.
Theo is almost the spoiled child of English football, I am not saying that he is spoiled but he obviously gets preferential treatment. Being dropped from the England squad might just sort him out and teach him that he won't get everything his own way, it might even teach him to put in a bit of effort in the gym to fight for his place.
Nasri is in the same situation, he is one of my favourite players in the squad but he has yet to really stand up and be counted for Arsenal, the two stand out moments are the United match last season where he scored a brace and the way he played against a weak Porto side in this seasons CL round of 16 home win. I think that if Cesc went Samir would be a direct replacement. What can you do to boost a player? say look we paid £12m for you can you please do something to be better!
There are whispers that Clichy is going to leave, first of all he won't because he loves the club but if he was to go we would be able to really hold out for him, we are almost due to give him a testimonial! Same with Fab, why don't we have one every season?
Lloris was a joke dealing with the first SA goal and the second to a degree, he has Arsenal Keeper cross syndrome, symptoms include being a muppet and letting your defence down.
Is it possible to wear an England football shirt without looking like a Sun reading, BNP voting mentalist?
