Every game is a big game for Walcott

Theo Walcott is still determined for Arsenal to make up the six point gap between themselves and league leaders Chelsea.

The Gunners recently went through some of their toughest fixtures of the season, and although they went badly, they now face a relatively easier looking fixture list for the rest of the season.

Youngster Walcott believes Arsenal can get over the setback of losing to Man United and Chelsea by winning their remaining games, but insists that although they are playing what, on paper, looks like weaker teams, there will be no easy games as the season draws to a close.

He said: "We can't keep thinking about those games [against Man United and Chelsea] - they are gone. We were disappointing on those days but it doesn't matter. Last year Man United only won one of their four games against the top four.

"Every match is difficult but it's a funny game and that is why everyone loves it.

"However although it's looking good for us it will be a very difficult game at Stoke next weekend. It was frustrating earlier in the season with results not going our way, especially in the big matches. But it is all starting to come together now and, especially if we can get our big players back to full fitness, we can have a great end to the season."

The 20-year-old went on to say that the atmosphere at the club is good at the moment, despite recent results and negative reviews in the media.

He said: "A lot of people tend to write us off but we just stay in the background doing our thing. We are only six points behind now.

"There is a smile on everyone's face at the moment and now we have got to show more. Keep playing, getting results. That's what you do to win a title."
