footballing universe, bar one man, is lamenting the 'tragedy' of Martin Taylor's 'horror tackle' on Arsenal's Eduardo Da Silva. Theo Walcott is secretly delighted. Now, in the absence of more established or trusted talent, is his chance to prove just how prodigious he is, as he is likely to get that 'sustained run' in the team that everyone has been bemoaning. But, comparing him to similar Ex-Arsenal talents- is he more like Nicolas Anelka last seen playing for Chelsea (19 goals in his first 46 Arsenal appearances)? Or like Christopher Wreh, last seen plying his trade at Bishop Stortford (5 goals in 46 for Arsenal)? All English football fans will hope for the latter.
Football Is Not My God Football Overdose joins the fraternity in offering all the best to Eduardo. And Theo- let's hope you can stand up to the plate.

QUESTION: What are the odds on Keegan getting sacked, or more likely quitting, before the end of the season?
1 comment:
4/1 For Keegan to be the next manager to quit/get sacked - Rafa is 9/2 - the odds of no more casualties this season is a surpringly slim 11/8
