Likely he'll be back in 3 or 4 months anyway. I assume the 6 months is a conservative figure and he'll be on the plane to the WC regardless.

Not much between him, Lennon and Townsend anyway, so we wont miss him too much. But I wouldn't call it karma. The fans were giving him stick, he gave some back. The fact that Spurs fans felt the need to pelt him and the St Johns Ambulance/Stewarding staff with coins is a bit classless.. can give it but not take it maybe? Grown men should be able to handle a 24 year old pointing out the score (hardly "offensive") much better tbh.

Plenty of England haters on here today Sad really ain't it. I can't be done with arsenal but Theo's a Englishman who imo didn't do anything wrong. Fans are allowed call him every name under the sun and throw coins yet he ain't allowed give a bit back. Very sad I'm in Englishman, I was born in this country, but that doesn't mean I have any love for the English national team anymore. It died years ago, and the way it's run now, I can't see it coming back.

A month out injured for each one of the six stewards he got pelted with coins. ffs it was the spurs fans throwing coins [and I hope they caught] I detest arsenal as much as the next man but spuds are rapidly catching up. when Walcott told them the score I thought well done lad. who the fuck do arsenal think they are saying its 6 months out and he will miss the world cup? surely that is up to englands medical team not whinger!!!

Is Walcott dead? Well you would think so,the amount of air time he is getting. So he will miss the W/C,so fecking what,it is hardly life threatening is it?

Bad news. Walcott was in good form having a good season as a big part of an in form team. It's a loss.

Its World Cup year.
Remember Michael Owens metatarsal? Same with Wayne Rooney at the last WC.
Every time an england player goes down injured expect there to be pages written about it.

Keegan and Brooking 1982 was the one by which all others should be judged.

Oxelaide-Chamberlian who's injured and has very little international experience or Townsend who's only played about 3 times as well (and hasn't been even close to as good for his club this season as Walcott has)?

its a shame really as walcott is young and has experience which is what we need for the world cup,I always think he does well in an England shirt as well.

Never forgiven him for getting Hoefkens sent off back when he was playing for Southampton!

Being a bitter unforgiving middle aged man with a long memory of Stoke injustice I will always judge Walcott by his injury feigning to get Marlon Broomes sent off back in the day.
Similarly bitter unforgiving Arse fans will probably say his injury is an after effect of Rory's tackle back in 2008.
In a desperate attempt to avoid the blame of costing England the next World Cup Tottenham are looking for video evidence to see if Charlie Adam has ever tackled him.

So will he be the one that starts to recover so he takes a place in the squad on the off chance he gets fit. He'll miss the first game but be brought on as a talisman for the second and give a brave performance. All hopes will rest on him for the crucial 3rd match but his passion will get the better of him and he'll be red carded just before half time. We'll pluckily go out and dwell on what might have been if Theo had been at full strength . Sorry - another bitter old man here.

2012/13 he scored 21 in 43 appearances from RW/RF, this season he's scored 5 in 13 league games.
As a player he's progresses amazingly over the last 2 seasons and is scoring some fantastic goals lately.
Massive loss for England.

His league form is irrelevant-fails to cut it for England which is what matters Wikipedia has him down for 5 goals in 36 appearances He clearly hasn't lived up to his early promise for England, but what I'm saying is that he has been in fantastic form for Arsenal and is a valuable asset for England. I believe he will carry his form on to the international stage, injury permitting... You can't deny he's been a threatening player for Arsenal and that is what he should be judged on at the minute.

Get ready for a 'will he, won't he saga in the media, who will conveniently forget that he's more of a 100m sprinter than a footballer.

I'd pick Townsend waaay ahead of Theo, I'm sorry he's got badly injured now especially but to me he's still one of those emperor's new clothes footballers, just don't think he's that good.
