Shouldn't have been such a twat then, should he.
Theo Walcott Out For World Cup

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Or god forbid, Ashley Young. Woy should stick with a front three of Sturridge, Rooney and Welbeck. They seem to play pretty well together.
Unlucky for him. For Arsenal at least they can go sign someone now if they feel they need to
That's possibly the worst news a pacey player can ever receive, he won't be smiling now that's for sure.
He will do well not yo loose the edge off his pace permanently, sickener for England and terrible terrible news for Arsenal at exactly the time it will hurt the most.

Bit harsh. It was just a decent response to having the piss taken out of him.
Although Townsend was decent enough in those last two qualifiers his form for Spurs hasn't exactly been stellar. A tad one dimensional too.
England lost a fair bit of pace from the team with Walcott absent.
Does that mean Lallana is a cert to go then? I remain to be convinced about him for England.
Oh no i've just had a horrible horrible thought, Milner on the wing. AHHHHHH!!

And so it begins. Englands problems prior to a tournament are uncanny. Who will be next?
Arsenal will miss his goals.
Very harsh.
Really unlucky for him. Seemed to be hitting his top form too. Is it a recurring injury or a new one?
Oh no.
Does it mean that England won't leave group stages now?

He tends to start for England when fit. Has done for quite a few years.
I hope so.
No they won't
I hope you're proud of yourself. Well done.
Sterling to the rescue for England. The only winger they currently have who hasnt been found out as one dimensional. He is only 19 so he has plenty of time.
It's in the cards for Rooney to get injured in a world cup year. It's just the done thing.
Shit thats bad. Unlucky for him England and the Arse.
Rooney's been playing through some knocks all year. Bound to pick something up at the worst possible moment.
Yep, it'll take a second off his pace at least.
From what I've read on Twitter, it's not as serious as it could have been and it probably won't do him any long term damage.
I would highly doubt it, Roy will only start so many young up and coming players [Barkley and maybe Wilshere].
JMO though.
He's alienated himself, if he didn't gloat like a twat then he'd be getting a lot more sympathy.
Over what distance? Because if it's a yard then he's really fecked.
What is it with England and world cup year? Normal years you might get a few injuries but Euro 2012 about a third of the squad ended up being lost through injury. One down already with six months to go!
When's Oxlade-Chamberlain meant to be back? He was pretty poor last year, hopefully he can rediscover form. He's pretty much a certainty to go along with Townsend and Milner, in which case there may be one winger spot between Lallana/Lennon/Young/Sterling. Although as Welbeck often plays on the left for England, and actually plays well there most the time, they may just go for 5 strikers instead, or an extra centre-mid.

Some people just fall onto the ignore list so easily.
I assume it's measured in 100m?
Hope that's the case.
Don't think I'd wish that on any player. Certainly not one who comes across as a decent guy.
That metatarsal has been intact for too long now. He used to be the master of that one.
I genuinely worry about us if that happens. Less-so England because England will be shit with or without him.
What are you on about? Fans give it all match, there's nothing wrong with a bit of banter back. Shame the Spurs fans are so touchy.
That's a big shame. He's the kind of player where you feel injuries might take their toll more quickly than most. He's not so talented that he can afford to lose his pace.
Why are you taking it so personally? What would you have me do, send him flowers? He's been unlucky with his injury, but why should I sympathise, even even empathise with him? You do realise there's people in this world with actual problems? It doesn't affect my life in any way.
Oh God, Rooney misses the World Cup because of Moyes overplaying him. Stretford would be in his element, I can already see the Neil Ashton article.
Let's all feel sorry for the millionaire footballer with a bad leg eh.
He's faster and that's about it. Sturridge is comfortably better than Walcott.
Yeah, why not when it's his job to play football and he is prevented from doing that in the biggest tournament of them all? It is a shame that something completely out of his control has prevented that opportunity and you don't know what will have happened to him in 4 years time that may mean World Cup 2010 is his last.
You've got a chip on your shoulder and you have some growing up to do. I suggest you wind your neck in. If you can't say something nice, say nothing at all.
Do people on this forum still see Walcott as a speed merchant but nothing else? That's so 2007.
Spoke too soon
"Two cruciates, none ruptured".
He's shown for how many weeks minimum he'll be out.
