ONE OF MY MATES, a football reporter, called yesterday.
On the mystery of Theo Walcott’s inclusion in the squad, he said,” Managers are like Prime Ministers, they’re obsessed by their legacy. Sven thinks Walcott will be a great player because Wenger’s told him that, and he wants to be able to say, ‘I blooded him.’ That’s what that’s all about.”
On the same subject, an ANR reader using the name “David Dein” reckons it’s only logical that Arsenal should use England as a feeder club.
