Post image for Newcastle 0-4 Arsenal: Was Thierry playing last night?

After benefiting from an hilariously fortunate opening goal just before the break, Theo Walcott and Nicklas Bendtner ensured Arsenal romped away with a 4-0 victory at St James’ Park. The second-half finishing was particular impressive: Walcott producing two that had me rubbing my eyes and wondering if I was watching Thierry Henry and Bendtner adding [...]

Post image for Koscielny out, Walcott back, Wenger’s a liar

Some very brief pre-Birmingham thoughts from a very hungover man. Laurent Koscielny has been ruled out of this game with a back injury. His absence should mean a start for the rusty Johan Djourou and the same centre-back pairing that played against Spurs in the Carling Cup. Alternatively Alex Song could drop back into defence [...]

Theo Walcott went to hospital after just 12 minutes of England’s 3-1 win over Switzerland, rolling his ankle in the build-up to the first goal. According [...]

Post image for The Short Corner: Walcott as a defensive player

AFCB’s tactics guru Andrew Enloe examines how Theo Walcott helps the Arsenal defence… Saturday’s match against Blackburn was the first real test of the season; nobody is really expected to win at Anfield, and last week’s match against Blackpool was only going to finish one way.  Blackburn have a formidable home record, and winning the [...]
