He celebrated like he meant it.
That was the last league goal I could recall, so it was 2010 when he last scored a league goal at home?
I didn't phrase it too well first off, but I meant with and without goals C.L included, if there were any.
think that was his last goal at emirates in all comps barring sunday
When was the last time he didn't say, "Life is a box of chocolates", before running headlong into a brick wall?

So did George Graham in the 1971 FA Cup final even though Kelly had scored the goal.
While Wenger is delighted with Oxlade-Chamberlain’s recent displays, he is wary of the potential for burnout if the forward were to be overburdened this term.
“That’s what happened to us last year with Jack Wilshere, it was exactly the same,” he said. “At the start of the season you think, 'I will play him 20 games, maybe 25'. When they deliver a performance [like Saturday’s] they play 45 and then they play for the national team and then they get injured.
“It's very difficult to manage because people understand very quickly what kind of influence the players have. You want to win the game so you play them.”

“He is a fantastic player already; he's only 18 and is so young,” said the Dutchman. “He's good on the ball - he has everything. He's quick, he has movement, technique, can score a goal or give an assist. He has a great future.
“But don't put too much pressure on him. You always have periods when you are young when you have really high highs and you go up and down until you balance it a bit better.
“He will have ups and he will have periods when he's not playing so well. So my advice is to be aware of it and be patient.”
Oxlade-Chamberlain’s fine form has led to speculation about a possible spot in England’s Euro 2012 squad, after several impressive displays for Stuart Pearce’s Under-21s.
Van Persie, who should feature for Holland in this summer's tournament, believes the teenager's full international opportunity will come when the time is right.
“Why not?” he said. “In the future, definitely. He's a big prospect. Everyone is enjoying watching him. I do, you do and he brings something extra to the game and people just love it.
“It reminds me of my own period when I was breaking through and was 18 or 19. I believe when you have all these qualities it gives you confidence and you can enjoy yourself.
“He's not someone who thinks about negatives, just positives and you can enjoy the game like that.
“I had that as well when I was younger. I wasn't thinking about 'oh, big stadium, or big game'. I was just enjoying myself.”

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news...cle861925.htmlRobin van Persie has leapt to the defence of Theo Walcott – and insisted he is worth 20 goals a season.
Walcott has gone through a lean spell of form but was back with a bang as he provided three assists in the thumping win over Blackburn.
But Van Persie said: “I honestly love him. I don’t understand the *criticism.
“He was sharp against *Blackburn, he was playing fantastically and, like anyone, he misses chances.
“But I miss chances. Ronaldo does, Messi does. It’s life.
“Sometimes I feel that people are a bit harsh on him. I don’t know why. If you look at his assists rate then it is unbelievable.
“And he will score. Trust me, he will score. He will get 20 goals at least every season. You will see. He will, have faith in him.
“He has given me so many assists. And for me, if you give an assist then it is worth a goal, especially if you give a great assist.
“It is as important as scoring a goal.
“He gave me two simple tap-ins. That makes it more his goal than my goal and he has given me many assists.”
Pretty much what ive been saying all along and now the captain has said the same thing
THEO THEO THEO
RVP
Quick hand him the new contract while he's still high.
you can't argue with theo's stats this season, he's doing what he's being paid to do. the frustrating thing is that he could be even better.
