"Chelsea, Liverpool & Man Utd were options” | Theo Walcott reveals why he chose Arsenal

[@moc9893]

It always gives me a bit of a shock when I realize players I grew up watching like Walcott have all retired now, me and Theo are the same age it only feels like last week he signed for Arsenal.

[@RAHMAN-qb5ed]

Our perception of time changes as we get older. Time seems shorter and shorter unfortunately 😢

[@widgibob27]

I don't come to Sky to hear these former footballers give their opinion. I want to know what Ed Sheeran has to say.

[@TimaBallerNo21]

Legend. Respect from a Liverpool fan

[@andymccreight3175]

Legend?

[@Arsenalthechamps13]

I will never forget that solo run at anfield. Sensational

[@MRT1601]

People hate on this guy but his end product is clear of Martinelli and Jesus…

[@sfam1886]

Very well spoken

[@4JJA14]

Random story his brother is a chef and came for a trial at the restaurant I first started working at as a commis chef myself not long after Theo joined Arsenal ( my Club! )

[@djpeekay25]

how was he with handling bottles?😂

[@davestone2939]

Another random story. Carragher’s next door neighbours uncle used to shop in Tesco’s which was only 3.67 miles from his house.

[@4JJA14]

​@davestone2939 very good Dave lol

[@4JJA14]

​@@djpeekay25had a smashing time 😮

[@hartzldn]

Amazing player, ruined by injuries. Theo in his prime was such a privellige to watch.

[@Ansu-Gaucho10]

Prime Theo Walcott is amazing ❤❤North London For Ever

[@jHJHJjHidie]

Old Trafford 8-2 prime Walcott

[@shutup2751]

did Walcott have a prime? he was always injury prone

[@jamesmichaels4979]

His assist against Liverpool in the champions League is still of the greatest solo runs ever

[@Alvin-jr9ot]

I just remember Adebayor celebrating it and then when everyone ran to Theo him realising no one was actually looking at him!

[@sponish0]

he was so unlucky arsenal lost the game so people didn't talk about it as much.

[@guitarreilly]

Yeah adebyor is and was an absolute clown ​@Alvin-jr9ot

[@ZZZ77-]

Scored the first goal I saw at the Emirates

[@ChadPlainview_]

Was that when he scored for Southampton?

[@ZZZ77-]

@ChadPlainview_ nah Doncaster rovers

[@Maj1794]

THEO THEO THEOOO ❤❤❤

[@Almanacplanting-g6o]

Enjoyed every moment of this content! You did amazing!

[@TikiTaka442]

Could've been a legend. Injuries just caught up on him. Very smart and love the way he speaks with maturity. Would make a great TV pundit if he carries on getting more TV time.

[@charlesapana9935]

Yeah Walcott move to Arsenal actually the best decision just that injuries didn't help him much, brilliant player

[@dbarker1042]

Walcott is a good pundit

[@gaffs82]

Great guy

[@MilyaushaErmakov-f8x]

Honestly, this video was such a mood booster!

[@isaacnewton3514]

Theo was good but have to admit he never lived up to his potential although the team Arsene built around him was pretty poor

[@rageking7640]

Asking carragher if he went he missed England's last penalty

[@thedawgfc1]

I will never forget that run for adeboyer vs Liverpool

[@gurdialsinghbal]

Jamie managed to get on the score sheet regardless the system or opposition - what a player!

[@flexermc4333]

I really think he would have been better if he went to chelsea. Drogba,Lampard, Walcott, Malouda, Essien. I think he would have fit better especially in that 2008-12 era.

[@tomburke198]

Would of been on the bench

[@sponish0]

he wouldn't have played, wenger was known for developing young players was defo the right choice.

[@phampshire6864]

Too nice to be a Chelsea player.

[@NeilLewis77]

Agreed. Chelsea players are c*nts

[@TradeIQ_Profits]

We prefer Costa-like strikers

[@Rezmund]

Always liked Theo Walcott. Articulate and grounded guy.

[@NS-23]

yes because choosing arsenal brought him the league 😂

[@DamGel27]

Love Theo. Top lad

[@ChristopherKit]

Expectations were so high from the beginning

[@RZino-0044]

Family you still one of us bro 👊 ✔️❤️✍️🙏🏿W one the fast boys we had gunners for life bro 👊 ❤️❤️💯

[@JustRifff]

If youre not good enough to play up front on youre own, you usually play on the wing. Theo talking like it was his choice 😂😂😂

[@joe7397]

All the pace in the world could of been a sprinter if he had a football brain he would of been dangerous

[@sponish0]

messi described him as one of the most dangerous players he's played against

[@realitysx5453]

Lewis hamilton, such a nice guy

[@MarkHernandez-c4h]

Thanks for sharing such valuable information! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[@RieyaadIsmail]

Brazil always takes a young future star to the world cup so why you regret Theo😮

[@jHJHJjHidie]

0 title 0 champions league - prime Walcott so called arsenal legend 😂😂😂 best league position 4th 🤷‍♂️

[@JournalistJake]

*2nd, actually 😂

[@grease118]

2 fa cups and 2 community shields later I'm sure we can all agree that he made the right decision.

[@harrisonmckenzie4905]

The sarcasm is strong 😂😂😂

[@morgan3714]

He’d do it again

[@jeevanfs]

He is one of those movie stars that do not watch their own movies. I can guarantee he hasn't read a page of his book 😂😂😂

[@michaelgordonharper4536]

Average player for most of his career. Had pace and that was his best attribute by far

[@sponish0]

arsenal 6th all time top scorer he was decent

[@Triggercut92]

Something about Theo is a bit off for a pundit. I can't put my finger on it, but every time he's on, it's like he creates quite an odd energy. When he's on, it never feels natural between all the pundits

[@WanderingChin]

Probably had PR training since he was 16. He speaks like a politician.

[@Littledunc1]

Sky paying for botted comments? That's normally a streamer thing.

[@harrisonmckenzie4905]

All the commercial channels are infested with them.

[@Shifo_47]

lol they are everywhere

[@DRvids630]

O dear.. Arsenal fans wont be happy. He liked Delap

[@tomburke198]

Talking like he’s a Legend 🤣 , made the wrong decision joining arsenal

[@larryachiya2475]

I remember in 2006 when I was 18 and reading the papers, I saw that Arsenal have a 17 year old player called Theo Walcott. I thought he was too young. This is probably why he retired early. He overworked himself

[@Amberle38]

I think it was more the ACL injury combined with the fact that pace was a huge part of his game. Similar story with Bellerin at Arsenal.

[@MrSuli86]

Man bun in 2024… shocking

[@MikaelFlyer]

Theo getting on like prince Harry!

[@stephenoleary5627]

He chose the wrong club.

[@p____p4tel]

Not a TW fan. Flattered to decieve

[@alanoconnor7967]

Just think how good he would have been if he went to man u.

[@Nicefakes]

Failed at arsenal

[@Scouser1995]

Was terrible for arsenal tbh

[@djpeekay25]

he couldn’t cross and lacked skill, but was just quick. Overrated player.

[@sponish0]

he had almost 200 goals/assists for arsenal defo wasn't terrible. never reached full potential but was unlucky with injuries.

[@Scouser1995]

@@sponish0 he's no torres or suarez tho is he 😉

[@Amberle38]

@@Scouser1995 Obviously not since wasn't a striker, even if he did have that one season where he was convinced he was 😂

[@olidb72]

Boring guy man. Very media trained. Would suit being a presenter though.

[@samsgotsuttin2prove]

I don’t know what you was watching but Theo was very poised, spoke well and seems Personable

[@alette7]

because Arsenal was a great team at that time 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@simonmenzies3142]

Chelsea would have been a good fit for him. But Theo was always of a certain level. The world just expected him to be far above it. That’s gonna be difficult

[@duncandisorderly6562]

Oops what did you win Theo? 🤣

[@sponish0]

won 2 fa cups. what have you won?

[@duncandisorderly6562]

@sponish0 you've completely missed the point 😂 he would have won a lot more with the other 3 teams

[@sponish0]

@@duncandisorderly6562 he likely wouldn’t have played as much, especially at Chelsea under Jose he rarely played youngsters. United had Ronaldo Giggs and park on the wings

[@Super_AC1]

Literally picked the worst option 😂

[@x_MVP]

He wanted to join a real club not a club with links to Putin

[@liamanderson6191]

Why did sky hire him, he’s very bad
