I want to become an Arsenal legend, says Walcott

Thegoalmac has learned that Theo Walcott insists he and his team-mates want to become Arsenal legends by re-establishing the club at the top of English football.

For me, its easier said than done though, but I can only wish him and his teammates all the best and also hope they reject the voice that will scream leave Arsenal in their head in the future, Lol.

Manager Arsene Wenger has endured growing criticism from Arsenal fans and was confronted in his dugout by one irate supporter during Thursday's 2-0 loss to Southampton.

But Walcott believes the responsibility for turning around the Gunners' season lies with the players themselves and is hoping to work himself back to match fitness after a serious knee injury in the process.

"It's a year since [the injury] and it's gone very quickly," the 25-year-old told the club's official website. "I've had loads of things in my life that have changed completely. That side of it was a good thing.

"Things happen for a reason and it's given me the opportunity to work on different parts of my game that I missed out on when I was younger - the actual development stage of it.

"I am looking forward to getting a few minutes [on Sunday]. I'm not expecting too much from these games early on. It will be blowing the cobwebs away and will be good to be out playing with my mates again because I've missed it all.

"It's important to have a good start, especially against Hull. We have our home support and we have to bounce back from the Southampton game.

"We want to become those legends [in Arsenal's history] so we need to knuckle down and start performing."
