Ladies & Gentlemen, Theo Walcott

Following last nights sensational display by our 19 year old winger, Theo Walcott, has seen everybody talking about how he'd pull England out of the "dark ages" and how he will be the "saviour" of English football. He's been displaying his class ever since he burst onto the scene and even has inspired the nickname "The-orry" and such a performance was to come out sooner or later.

The hat-trick was stunning, it was incredible watching the 19 year old darting about, playing some of the most sublime football I've seen him play in a long time. Even David Beckham, was amazed by the display, he said:

'If he plays like that every week he can put any defender in the world to shame. Everyone saw how fast he was, the speed of him is incredible.'

This is obviously what the influence of people like Arsene Wenger have on your career when they very patiently develop you and don not over burden you with expectations. David agrees when he says:

'I don't have to say anything to keep him calm. He is at the right club [Arsenal] and under the right manager [Arsene Wenger], everyone knows Arsene Wenger looks after his players. The only thing I would say to him is to enjoy it.'

I have been a long term fan of this lad and the stunning display last night can only mean no end of good for us.

That said, what I do fear is that owing to a couple of snazzy displays by the young man would have no doubt raised a lot of expectations over in England (especially since the latter involved Croatia). If he fails to perform in the next few games, the ever vulture-esque press would undoubtedly be all over him and I'm not sure how he'd be able to respond to that pressure.

Thats what I hate the most over in England, the hype the press tends to create out of absoulte bollocks is very frustrating for both fans and the players. I mean, they are human beings too for f*** sake, can't they have an off day? In any case, I hope things don't come to that and Theo instead puts in week-in, week-out displays like the one we saw last night.

Onto premiership news now, Blackburn's defender, Andre Ooijer will miss the game against the Gunners due to an injury he picked up whislt on international duty. Silvestre should also be back and wether he's in contention, we'd have to wait and see.

Speaking of injuries, Mr. Metartarsal made it back unscathed and seriously its only a matter of time now before he sneezes and pulls his hamstring. Its very frustrating, every year we go, this will be the year, but every year is the same sad story. Oh well, there's always hope.

Philippe Senderos, our soon to be ex-gunner, said he was disappointed by the result on his debut. Get used to it mate, Not everything is as good as Arsenal.

It was recently reported in the news that Henry & Gallas had a bust up after France’s 3-1 defeat in Austria at the weekend but Henry insisted:

'The news is wrong. There are no tensions, just discussions, like every other team after a defeat.

This is sad, really, no, not this but the fact that there's actually so little of Arsenal news left that I'm forced to add this to the blog!!

Right, I'm off, Real footy's back in 2 days and I can't wait!

Come on you Gunners!!
