Arsenal FC – Still Playing the Terrible Olivier Giroud
Matches upon matches of no goals from his French striker haven’t convinced Arsene Wenger that Olivier Giroud is a failure, and won’t be the answer to his scoring problems. Instead of letting Theo Walcott play the way he wants, he keeps relying on someone who is proving again and again that scoring goals isn’t his best quality.

Arsenal FC – Theo Walcott Proving Something to Someone
Since regaining his full time starter status, Theo Walcott has been playing like a man with something to prove.
