Chris Waddle criticising Theo Walcott is is definitely the pot calling the kettle black. Waddle flattered to deceive for his whole career, winning zero honours in English football & though his Marseille team won three league titles that was proved to be suitably deceitful with the Bernard Tapie bribery scandal. Waddle was a consistent flop too in an England shirt with his ultimate flop of all being his penalty shootout miss, the worst world cup penalty of all time with ball nearly travelling out of the stadium. Waddle has a history of criticising Walcott & it's no coincidence he is an Arsenal player.
Waddle is simply displaying spiteful bias because of his Spurs connection & his bitterness at the 2 1993 cup final defeats he endured with Sheffield Wednesday against Arsenal.
Waddle always was a miserable dullard & it is ludicrous he gets employed as a co-commentator on TV & Radio.
