Arsene Wenger is hoping his side will be able to pick up from where they left off when the Barclays Premier League returns this weekend, after many of his players enjoyed time away with their respective national teams. Having beaten Newcastle United....
Young gun: Arsenal teenager Theo Walcott puts England ahead in Zagreb
Germany became a kind of school exchange trip for the squad's forgotten kid. Next, he disappeared to Arsenal's London Colney training ground for intensive re-education.
So now we know what Arsène Wenger could see in Walcott – and it turns out that the Arsenal manager was right all along. He normally is. For the first time in his senior career, Walcott did not look to pass to a more esteemed colleague when he h....
The striker also joined in the praise for Walcott. He gives us something a bit different, he said. He's probably the quickest player I have seen. Against Andorra he showed glimpses of what he can do. He can be brilliant. Sven saw his talent and pi....
Manchester United's Nani opened the scoring for Portugal in their match with Denmark, which they surprisingly lost 3-2. Chelsea's Deco also scored a penalty, with Nicklas Bendtner of Arsenal on target for the Danes.
Leaving out David Beckham to throw in Arsenal rookie Walcott and sending Emile Heskey up front could have come back to haunt Capello, might have left him branded as inept as Steve McClaren had been here two years ago.
The boy-man from Arsenal scored a stunning hat-trick last night to deliver his side a fabulous victory and at last, for the first time in ages, English football had an England football team that matched their expectations. If only they could do this ....

Don Walcott's prophecy was fulfilled in startling fashion last night as the 19-year-old Arsenal winger scored his first, second and third goals for England in just 56 minutes. The 4-1 victory in the Maksimir Stadium in Zagreb now puts England on firm....
The Arsenal winger was handed a starting place on the right at the expense of Beckham, and Fabio Capello's judgement was vindicated by his three-goal display in a convincing 4-1 win.
Fabio Capello admitted he was stunned by England's convincing display but warned the rest of Group Six that this constituted just the start both for this side and for its teenage prodigy, Theo Walcott. The 19-year-old's hat-trick and magnificent pe....
Mexico had two chances in the first 17 minutes but both times Arsenal forward Carlos Vela missed.
The Arsenal attacker was at his irresistible best, tormenting Croatia with his pace and eye for goal. If Walcott’s treble will inevitably take the headlines, praise should be showered all over Fabio Capello, for getting his tactics spot-on, and....
We all know Theo Walcott. He's lightening quick, a great finisher. He scored two goals from not so easy positions. They weren't open goals. He just hit the corner. It's hard to mark him. That's why he's an England international and why he's at Arsen....
