Well done young man

Theo Walcott marked his England U21 debut with a goal after just 2 minutes and something seconds last night as we struggled to a 2-2 draw with Moldova. It was a poor game, and whilst Theo didn't set tthe world alight that's really to be expected considering he hasn't played competitive football in over six months. There were slight concerns about whether Theo was brought off with an injury, as there was an ice pack applied whilst he watched the rest of the match, but hopefully it's just a twinge and nothing too serious.

His goal was a well-taken header from a Leighton Baines cross, although to be honest the keeper might have done a bit more.

Still, well done young man. I look forward to seeing you in the red and white.

Other than that there's really not much of interest about. Sky Sports is running this rather dull story on Big Phil in which he states that he intends to fill the rather sizeable (snigger) gap left by Sol Campbell's departure. Phil, you already have mate.

The Sun is running a story a piece on our desperately departing duo of Jose and Cashley. The Mr Tweedy story states that his book will stay off the shelves until he finally buggers off, which will be as soon as Chelsea realise that Cole is worth as least as much as Drogba, and offer an according amount of wonga.

The Reyes story has the Sun saying that Manu Adebayor has told Jose "we don't want you anyway". Manu's actual quote? "Maybe he should just go so we can all move on". Slightly less incendiary, I think you'll all agree and probably matches the sentiments of most Gooners.

Continuing with Adebayor, there's a bum-kissing article on Arsenal.com where Manu basically sucks up to Thierry and doesn't say anything interesting at all.

Justin Palmer has written a bit of a puff piece in the Guardian about Henry's decision to stay, his rather generous opinion of Chelsea, and how he expects the young players to make up for our departures over the summer. Remember that this is the same Henry who demanded transfers about a fortnight ago to bring in some more experience. Such is football.
