I must admit to being surprised at Arsenal winger Theo Walcott’s omission from Fabio Capello’s final 23-man squad for the World Cup but the truth is he has not been impressive in recent matches. We haven’t been able to see how players have performed in training, so Theo may well have been out of sorts while the likes of Tottenham’s Aaron Lennon and Shaun Wright-Phillips put in good performances. We will never know. However, despite a largely indifferent season for the Gunners, I still would have Walcott as one of my final 23 on the plane to South Africa.

Theo Walcott is back in the England squad for tonight’s game with Egypt despite a pretty awful season for Arsenal. He has played very little football but apart from the recent match with Sunderland, he has done very little. However, I do feel that Fabio Capello knows how to get the best out of Walcott and will give him every chance to make the squad. It’s a shame Tottenham star Aaron Lennon is not fit as he was definitely the in-form right winger in the Premier League. He has thrilled the White Hart Lane fans this season with some scintillating performances for Harry Redknapp. Spurs and England need him back fully fit and firing as soon as possible.

This week two youngsters who came through the Southampton youth ranks performed superbly for their respective nations on international duty. Great things were expected of both players at St Mary’s prior to Theo Walcott making the move to the Emirates and Gareth Bale signed for Arsenal’s North London rivals Tottenham.

Did anyone else notice who Theo Walcott celebrated both his goals with? Nicklas Bendtner. In fact, from what I saw, Adebayor didn’t even come into the picture.
