If we ban them from matches can we also ban people who just sit and don't join in the cheering, chanting, or singing?

Without a doubt I think Lennon should start ahead of Walcott but a lot of the hate he gets from Spurs fan, amongst others, is uncalled for. I can understand the British media as they are a bunch of twits but I think everyone else is jumping to a premature conclusion. What irks me about Spurs fans is that Lennon was in a similar position a few years back when he couldn't cross a ball to save his life, they should know first hand how players can develop.

Personally, I was pretty close to writing Walcott off last year but I've seen him develop recently and I'm optimistic. What has helped sway my opinion is the vote of confidence given to him by Fabio, who gave him the vote not when he was turning heads but rather not doing so well. If a respected coach like that sees something then I think there is a chance that something exists. Oh well, hopefully training the with national squad will help him and it would be great if he could come on and do something as a sub in one of the matches.
