The ‘Bit Between The Ears’ Is Still Arsenal’s Biggest Weakness
Over the last five-and-a-bit fallow seasons, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has seen his band of nimble tyros surrender one and two-goal leads on no less than 34 occasions – with the most recent example being last Saturday’s second-half capitulation against North London rivals Tottenham. Furthermore, whereas Arsenal’s propensity for snatching defeat (or a draw) from…

He’s been highly-rated for some time, but Theo Walcott is finally starting to show some steady progress. With several goals already in the bag for the campaign, Walcott has developed an appetite for shooting rather than crossing and with fresh demands for a central role now tickling the ears of manager Arsene Wenger, there is…
Is Theo Walcott Ready For The ‘Henry Role’ At Arsenal?
Ever since he signed for the club as a wide-eyed 16-year-old back in January of 2006, Arsenal prodigy Theo Walcott has been systematically lauded as the natural successor to Thierry Henry‘s considerable mantle at the club and, by proxy, unfairly derided for his continuing failure to do so.
