Patrice Evra unleashes a scathing attack on Theo Walcott, labeling him a “menace for society” and insisting he should “never be on TV again.” This fiery remark comes after Walcott’s comments about comparing the current Arsenal squad to the legendary 2008 Manchester United team.
Evra’s tirade occurs amidst a pivotal moment for Manchester United as Michael Carrick steers the team toward Champions League qualification following Ruben Amorim’s firing. Meanwhile, Arsenal faces a disheartening defeat to Manchester City, jeopardizing their title hopes and leaving them to battle Atlético Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals.
Walcott, in a January discussion with Wayne Rooney, provocatively suggested that Arsenal might match up to the 2008 United squad, which dominated the Premier League and Champions League. Rooney’s dismissive response, “We’d batter them,” drew laughter, but it seems Walcott’s assertion has not aged well.
Evra, reflecting on the podcast conversation with Rio Ferdinand, criticizes Walcott’s perspective, calling it “delusional” and harmful, especially to younger fans. He emphasizes that such comparisons are disrespectful and deems Walcott unfit for a television platform, highlighting the ongoing tensions between the two rival clubs.
