Exactly. Walcott is one of the highest scoring PL winger of all time, yet AM still **** on him.
I'm reading Wengers autobiography at the moment, and there is quite an interesting passage when he talks about the achievements of the players who followed the invincibles. I'm paraphrasing, but he basically says that he feels in some ways they had a bigger achievement in constantly teaching Europe but falling short of titles because it was hard for morale and more so because the club constantly sold players to balance the books in that period. In a different squad Walcott would probably be viewed in a better light. He was never my favourite player, but he was very effective for a few seasons at his peak.
