Preseason

A short pre season that didn't venture outside of England. Two away games to Wolves and Barnet, to be exact. The first of those didn't go too well. A 2-1 loss, although we did take the lead through Theo Walcott's first half low drive. Goals from Wolves' Griffiths and Golbourne sealed the victory in the second half. The game against Barnet was smoother, although frankly, pretty boring too, Walcott again found the net after neat team play to win 1-0.

Swansea 1 - 1 Arsenal
Dyer 64 - Walcott 5

Start of the season and a trip to Wales. Turns out Walcott's good form crosses borders as he opened the scoring after five minutes. A cute through ball from Arteta found the speedster as he calmly slotted home, a la Thierry Henry. Victory wasn't to be ours, however, as Nathan Dyer annoyingly jinxed his way past a couple players and struck low and hard inside the area.

Salzburg 1 - 1 Arsenal
Grafischer 66 - Walcott 15

Champions League playoff action and to Austria it is. I kept the same starting eleven as the season opener, and again, Theo provided the goods. Quarter past the hour and Olivier Giroud fired a first time effort off the crossbar from out the area, rebounding to the feet of Walcott who didn't hesitate to finish. Again let the victory slip away as Salzburg levelled it up from a header via a corner.
