I Won't Be Happy If Arsenal Win The Title

I'm not mad, well maybe I am looool but it wouldn't phase me if we won the league. I know we won't win it because Arsenal are bottlers, when it comes to push and shove, they don't step up so don't be surprised when we do I'll be like "I told you so" and laugh about it, because that's what my team is jokers you might as well have Kevin Hart playing for us to complete the joke to. If we don't win the league we never will. This is our best chance. But if we do win the league I'll know it was down to luck as the other big teams have been inconsistent and bloody Leicester City, common Blue Foxes,  are on top WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?

Let's be honest we would 5th if the Man City's, United's, Chelsea's even Liverpool's of this world were in top form. This is why it won't be a title win to remember just like how we've won our back to back FA Cups where all the big teams got knocked out and we faces easy opposition (Where we struggled lol)  Arsenal are still lacking in certain areas of the field. 

Yes we have Peter Cech behind the sticks, who has been a great acquisition, but he cannot carry us to success. It's clear to see with a team that has world class stars like Ozil and Sanchez we still can't major honours. What makes you think Cech will, I'll say this and say this again every great keeper has a great defence in front of  them, and Arsenal's is anything but. You can call me negative or a plastic fan. But I see football for how it is, I've watched Arsenal struggle year in and year out Southampton and Bayern Munich are clear signs that we don't have what it takes to win big titles. But fear not we'll probably win the FA Cup and maybe Satan will return to heaven begging God he wants to be an angel again.

Has Walcott Fulfilled his Potential?

It's been ten years ago to the day Theo Walcott signed for Arsenal, where he was hot on the heels, of many of top English teams, where he rose on the scene for Southampton. He even got into 2006 England World Cup squad with out kicking a single ball with the Gunners first team. But 10 years on and playing in the form that made Wenger splash out on the English forward has he fulfilled his potential or is he another English flop in Premiership folklore?

Many pundits will say he hasn't and I will agree, I feel at times his lack of footballing brain not to mentions his injuries have really plagued his career like it has with many top English players who could've had more fulfilling careers like Michael Owen, Owen Hargreaves and Keiron Dyer. His final third really lets him down you can sprint, like Usain Bolt and beat the opposing starting 11 but if your killer pass, cross or shot is off that you're fast for nothing in football. Don't get me wrong I think Walcott on his day is a class above and Wenger should make him the main man with Mesut Ozil feeding him he'll be a goal machine. But his injury curse has hampered him.

Since the back end of last season we've seen Walcott be the player he should've been many seasons ago the central position really suits him. His pace is exceptional with his clinical and amazing finishing. I hope and pray he doesn't end up like many English players before him who have been staggered by injuries. Many dubbed him to be the new "Theiry Henry" the Va Va Voom man can never be replaced but with the way he has been playing and if he can keep fit he could be on his way. He's 26 and that's the age where you should peak I think the word potential shouldn't be said around Walcott, but we can sadly say up until now it hasn't been fulfilled.
