What?

Townsend will be ahead of Walcott. Some football fans have not the capacity to understand football, so they use inferior opinions into creating a debate. Walcott’s place in England is safe. He has finishing ability even strikers dream of and if you ask me Towsend’s goal would be perfect hit one out of ninty-nine.

Why? Because it was his right foot (weaker foot) and even opponents gave him space, assuming he would pass or take a weak shot, which would not trouble the keeper. The luck was on his side even though it hit the post and went in, but to retain his place he must maintain consistency and we all know Spurs players lack that.

It's sad so many club fans have club blinkers in

Can we keep international posts off the club boards please

Yes thuds I know. Very sad indeed...

I've got to say how knee-jerk football is these days is frankly embarrassing.

Walcott has proven himself for years with England and people are elevating Townsend ahead of him on the basis of one game against a country with a population equivalent to Bristol who also had half of their team out.

It's the exact same with this Januzaj guy, the media has went into overdrive about him playing for England again on the back of one game. I'm not going to suggest he will be anywhere near as disappointing as Macheda, but do people remember the hype about him after United beat Villa?

I don't know why opposition fans don't like Walcott, he's a smashing player who is always totally committed: keeps himself out of the media and usually gives his all. People recognise he has limitations.

By the way I'm sure Walcott would have thrived last night running at Montenegro.

Any knowledgable Utd fan will tell you we've been excited by the kid for a while now. Whilst i agree it's knee jerk in terms of the media, I find it unlikely the lad won't make it with us.

I know mate, it's pure club rivalry blinkerness, in happy to praise any club player if they've done well for Englsnd,

Dubbed, DJ are the worst, pure bitterness

I think far too many people miss the point as to why people would prefer Townsend, or a player like him, ahead of Walcott, and it's nothing to do with club form.

Or last night's game.
