Walcott usually has a better striker to play with, and Lennon is still better imo (<3)

Well...Walcott plays very much as an inside forward when i see him so tends to score more goals. This has been Walcotts only real good season in memory as well.
Lennon has had a fairly poor season as well and look who he is crossing for! A beanpole that cant score goals and a greedy player that can't finish.
If Lennon (and this goes for Bale as well) had a quality striker in RVP that Walcott is crossing for to finish the chances up front he would have more assists.
He's a good winger, Lennon. I do rate him, but you're right, he needs to work on his all-round game. As an out-and-out winger, there's few better in the Prem, but coming inside his decision making still needs work. Still, he's young, there's plenty of time.
ARGHH NOO DON'T START
Don't forget that RvP only played half a season. He's been crossing for Chamakh and Bendtner for the rest of the season...

Also don't see how the "Downing is different to Lennon" argument is valid when you also say Walcott has a different role, but then say Lennon's still better.
Most of those assists probably came in the second half of the season no doubt.
and Chamakh and Bendnter >>> Crouch and Defoe
Alright this is boring now. Walcott >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lennon and that's that

Before we start, a minute's silence for the death of Mark Hughes's career.
Stop laughing. It's not funny. Not funny at all.
Although the Daily Mail, as on the ball as ever, reports that Hughes is free to talk to Aston Villa, in the same way that Piers Morgan is free to stop Being Piers Morgan, the Mill knows that's not the case. Randy Lerner wants nothing to do with the manager who immediately activated a break clause in his Fulham contract upon hearing that Gérard Houllier had left Villa Park. Only to find out that Villa have absolutely no intention of hiring the man who spent £18m on Roque Santa Cruz. Hughes will spend the rest of the day on the phone to Mohammed Al Fayed trying to convince him that whole break clause thingy was just a practical joke and he's not really leaving Fulham and he'll be in bright and early on Monday morning and, oh God, he's just gone and bought a house in Aston and what the **** is he going to tell the wife now?
So anyway there's a job going at Villa, with Martin Jol, Steve McClaren and Roberto Martínez in the frame. Carlo Ancelotti wants to go to a club in the Champions League though. Chelsea sounds fun. Fulham also need a new manager now - oh Sparky! - and Villa's former manager, Martin O'Neill, is the early frontrunner. Fulham are also eyeing up Jol and McClaren, not to mention Nice Chris Hughton and Nice Gianfranco Zola. But not Mark Hughes. No one wants Mark Hughes.
Bored with repeatedly linking Cesc Fábregas to Barcelona, this morning the tabloids have broken with tradition and are ignoring the story completely.
Arsenal have told Real Madrid that they won't be getting Cesc for anything less than £54m.
If Fábregas does go, Arsène Wenger, lurching deeper and deeper into self-parody, will spend a whopping £4m to bring West Bromwich Albion's Peter Odemwingie to the Emirates. Showboating dandy Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will also be snapped up for £10m from Southampton. If all that doesn't stop ungrateful supporters complaining about 6% price hikes in season tickets, the Mill doesn't know what will.
Meanwhile Robin van Persie has told Chelsea to "shut the **** up". That'll be a two-match ban for Wayne Rooney then. The Dutchman, exhibiting the sort of self-awareness that would shame Sepp Blatter, is fed up with Chelsea's players always complaining about referees. Van Persie is managed by Arsène Wenger. Van Persie, of course, did his bit for the Respect campaign by calling his sending off against Barcelona in March "a total joke". Van Persie wasn't finished there – he also hit out at Barcelona for trying to get opposition players booked, presumably for tackles like this.
Impressed by England's stunning World Cup last summer, Kanny King Kenny wants to build a nucleus of home-grown players at Liverpool. Well it's better than building an army of clones. On the way to Anfield are Sunderland's Jordan Henderson for £20m and Blackburn's Phil Jones for £15m. Smell you later suckers, Number 19 is in the bag. Dalglish will face competition for Jones from Arsenal and Tottenham though. If Henderson does go to Liverpool, Steve Bruce will use the money to bring in social networking's Darron Gibson and Wes Brown from Manchester United.
Wheeling and dealing's Harry Redknapp is in the market for some more players. So what's new? They're not having much luck though, Internacional rejecting a £10.5m bid for their Brazilian international, Leandro Damiao. If Tottenham can't get him, they'll move for up-and-coming tyro Didier Drogba. Wilson Palacios's move to Napoli has stalled though, with Spurs demanding £15m for the Honduran midfielder.
Alexis "Lawrie" Sanchez has told Manchester City he doesn't want to leave Udinese. So there. Real Madrid's manager José Mourinho has told City he won't give them £14m for Emmanuel Adebayor, last seen stomping around Camp Noú karate-chopping any Barcelona player that dared to move. Everton's David Moyes is closing in on Germany's Miroslav Klose, who's very good, although he'll be a bit miffed if he ends up signing Bayern Munich's Miroslav Klose, who's very bad. Harry Redknapp is also "aware of Klose's situation". Of course he is. West Ham's Demba Ba could also be on his way to Everton, assuming he can be bothered to scrawl his name on a contract.
Swansea have offered Watford £3m for their striker, Danny Graham, who sounds like he should be auditioning for a role in a Guy Ritchie film. QPR are keeping tabs on former Liverpool and Leeds gadfly Harry Kewell and fellow Australian Lucas Neill, and will use the presence of the Walkabout in Shepherds Bush to sway the pair who are both available on free transfers.

Stubborn little ******* aren't you?
Not really, I could say the same about you, but it's all a matter of opinion.
Liverpool have opened the bidding for Lee Cattermole by offering in the region of £10million for the Sunderland midfielder. Also linked with Phil Jones for £15m (Sky Sports Transfer News thingy)

@Joss. Friedals just been announced on the Spurs website as agreeing a deal so its probably that.
Friedel agrees move - News Articles - Tottenhamhotspur.com

Well Wilshere wasn't playing in the first team last season so that doesn't surprise me, Nasri wasn't very good last season and played in an uncomfortable wide-left position and I expect Modric got more assists? I'm just backing up my argument in the same way CJ did.
Wilshere played almost same number of games as Gibson. So in 2009-10 Gibson = Nasri?
Well looks like some personal battle between you and CJ. Good luck
Two best clubs in the world going head to head with two best wingers ever to play the game..
Game on..
