Olsson Has A Verbal Slap For Walcott

Blackburn defender Martin ‘The Mouth’ Olsson has stoked the fire prior to the U-21s clash between England and Sweden tonight by playing down the hype that heads Theo Walcotts way.

Olsson has taken a swipe at Arsenal star Theo Walcott whilst speaking to the South African media – ‘He is extremely fast but not as good as everyone says.

‘It’s the players around him that feed him and make him good, so if we can shut them down, I think we can prevent him from getting those passes.

‘Against Finland, he had almost no chances and wasn’t that much of a factor. There’s no Adebayor who can help him. The other players are young too and they also make mistakes.’

Good god Martin, we know you like to rock the boat but this is a bit needless.

Everyone is entitled to thei opinion but this is only going to make Walcott play better – keep your mouth shut for a nice change!
