A young Arsenal star has drawn comparisons to Argentina’s Lionel Messi from former Premier League player Theo Walcott.

Gunners manager Arsene Wenger spoke to the media on Tuesday about possible talks with Theo Walcott over a contract extension. The French manager stated, "We are starting to sit down with him. I think he has one and a half years to go on his contract in December and it is never an easy job […]

Positive injury news for Arsenal as Theo Walcott returns to training Arsenal and England winger Theo Walcott has returned to training at Arsenal’s London Colney training ground this week. Walcott, 25, has been out of action since sustaining an injury in the 2-0 win over Tottenham back in January. Walcott missed the remainder of the […]

For years on end managers across the country have sent their players away to represent their country and spent the whole time of their absence praying they all return fit and well. But after a week that saw several big name players pick up injuries while playing for their country, the pressure from managers for […]

Gameweek three of the Barclays Premier League had that business as usual feel to it as it marked the first time in the young season where one or two of those marquee matches weren't on offer. Approaching the weekend, the Aston Villa v Everton clash intrigued me the most, while Manchester City v Sunderland and […]

6-0, the new 1-0. Parity, maybe? Well, not really. Three Barclays Premier League matches ended 6-0 this weekend with one still left to come Monday night. As the parity debate rages on concerning the overall quality of Premier League teams 1-20, gameweek 2 went a long way in proving just how unequal the league currently […]

In one of the all time moments of counting chickens before they've hatched, Nike, in all their brilliant ad campaign glory have erected a giant rock billboard emulating Mount Rushmore in London featuring the faces of some of the key England players heading to South Africa. Only problem is that one of those key faces happens to […]

Perhaps this is a frivolous post, but with Theo Walcott shockingly omitted from Fabio Capello's World Cup squad, the England national team are left with ZERO players from Arsenal traveling to South Africa. Sure, Arsenal FC will be well-represented in this year's tournament: William Gallas (France), Robin van Persie (Holland), Niklas Bendtner (Denmark), Cesc Fabregas […]

It was often said through out much of the last ten years that England's midfield was its strongest point. With Beckham in his pomp and Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard ably assisted by a constant rotation of players wedged in to the left midfield position, it often felt a little hollow. In the big games, […]

It's now April, 2010 – the World Cup and business end of the Premier League season both approach like a swarm of angry bees looking to sting before they're stung. Injuries are piling up in England to key members of the national team as well as key components of the three headed monster that is […]

Chelsea is a machine. Indestructible. Precise. Physical. Flawless. Arsenal is the total opposite. They're more fluid, and play a beautiful brand of football that is easy on the eye. When the two opposing forces came together on Sunday afternoon, few would have predicted how Chelsea completely tore the Gunners apart, leaving behind an Arsenal side […]

Just when Arsene Wenger thought his injury problems were behind him, with Theo Walcott looking likely to return to first team action this week, Nicklas Bendtner decides to off road in his Aston Martin on the way to training on an empty road and Denilson has had a fractured bone in his back confirmed by […]

Arsenal beat Celtic 2-0 at Celtic Park, all but assuring their qualification for the Champions League group stages, with two away goals. It was not the presiding effort of their 6-1 away win at Everton, but the two deflected goals – from Gallas and Gary Caldwell's foot – fulfilled the requirement in what was arguably […]

When Arsene Wenger told the press he was in no hurry to spend Emmanuel Adebayor's transfer fee and would replace him with "an internal player," more than a few people probably had the same reaction: "Same old Wenger, always stingy." A quick look over Arsenal's roster, however, proves Wenger indeed has no shortage of options […]

Some managers may be cursing Mark Hughes and Manchester City, with their bucketloads of cash and a needy addiction to trying to sign every troublesome and moody striker in the world. Yet, Arsene Wenger may be quiet relieved after this weekend though as Emanuel Adebayor joined the Eastlands revolution ending his 3 year spell at […]
