Just another training session….

The Independent today reported on something that happened the last time England joined up for training, an unseen goal that probably ensured Theo Walcott’s place in the starting line-up.

It went like this:
“He received the pass on the right, taking a precise touch to help the ball run across his body. The first defender sought to show him down the line, where there was cover, and he dropped a shoulder as if to follow, but then Theo Walcott twisted and came inside. He weaved past Jimmy Bullard and David Bentley but looked to be drifting too far across the midfield when he suddenly turned, spun and darted through a gap for goal. Paul Robinson came out to narrow the angle but Walcott drove the ball past him.

Training seemed to stop for a moment as the England players absorbed the quality of the goal. Some applauded. It was only a practice match, but all the same. As one player later told me: “It was the speed of his feet, he’s just so quick with the ball.”

Hopefully Theo has another great performance today against Kazakhstan

Sunderland 1 - 1 Arsenal

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.

Capello laughs off Walcott joining U21’s

Stuart Pearce’s request for Theo to join up with the U21’s left Fabio Capello laughing, maybe it was because Pearce asked straight after Theo had completed his hat-trick against Croatia.

Fortunately Theo will be unavailable for the U21’s as England have qualification games against Kazakhstan and Belarus and is sure to be selected for the senior squad after his exploits against Croatia.
