Introducing Arsenal’s number 14: Theo Walcott

walcott_1Theo would assume Thierry’s mantle, I can only assume that the young Englishman approached Arsenal higher-ups and specifically requested the revered shirt. I assume this because I can’t imagine the Club forcing such a legend onto on so young

The Arsenal Vision end of season awards 2007/08

cesc_1THEO. As he's played more football, and as the season has gone on, he's gotten better and better. He's now looking confident enough to start regularly, has started scoring goals and making an impact on games

gallas_1Through a mixture off illness and sheer boredom of sitting at home, I’ve decided to analyse each individual player’s season so far. I’ve come up with highlights (and in some cases, lowlights)
