But Walcott insists he and his Arsenal teammates are no longer soft touches – and points to a row after Alexis Sanchez had missed a penalty at Hull while usual taker Santi Cazorla was on the pitch.
Walcott said: “Sometimes we might have a bit of a discussion among each other, that is what you want and it is that respect for each other.
“Do we have a snipe at each other? Now and then. There was a particular moment at Hull, but that will stay in the dressing room.
“It is good, it shows the passion we have in the team now.
“We have winners and I think Alexis is a winner, he has been to Barcelona and won everything and he obviously wants us to win as well.
“If the passion is there, the team perform much better.”
