Saturday, October 4th, 2008

Arsenal were lucky to rescue a point today against the very defensive Sunderland.

Just after half time Arsenal thought they had opened the scoring, but Robin Van Persie’s effort was ruled out as Theo Walcott’s cross was judged to have gone out of play for a goal kick.

Cesc Fabregas rescued a point for the Gunners after Grant Leadbitter had put Sunderland ahead.

It’s the second weekend Arsenal have failed to win and take top spot in the Premiership.

Theo bags a brace

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

Two goals in the space of five minutes from Theo Walcott seemed set to give Arsenal all three points against Birmingham.

But it was not to be as James McFadden, who had scored from a free kick in the first half, scored the equaliser in the final few seconds of the game.

Walcott scored his first ever Premiership goals for the Gunners, the first in the 50th minute from the six yard box after Adebayor had appeared to have fouled keeper Taylor following a corner from Fabregas as the Togolese jumped for a header and managed an assist for the young forward.

However, the second goal showed the class of the talented Walcott as he moved from the right side to score with a left-footed shot from 18 yards in the 55th minute.

Liverpool sniffing for Walcott?

Friday, January 25th, 2008

If reports are to be believed then Arsenal have turned down a sensational move by Liverpool to take Theo Walcott on loan.

The Times have reported the 18-year-old has attracted interest from several Barclays Premier League clubs, with Manchester City also interested, but the biggest suprise is that Rafael Benitez was willing to place his faith in a player of such limited experience as he attempts to rescue Liverpool’s faltering season will come as a surprise.

Benitez has admired Walcott for some time and was one of many managers scrambling for his signature when he left Southampton two years ago.

Theo may go out on loan

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Theo Walcott may go out on loan for the rest of the season after Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said he wanted to loan him to another premiership club.

The Arsenal boss has apparently made some calls to rival managers offering them the England star, 18, for the rest of the season.

But he only wants to loan him if he gets regular football and is played down the middle rather than out wide.

This would be a good move for Theo who has not been able to shine as expected, mainly due to being played out wide by Arsene Wenger
