Arsenal midfielder Theo Walcott was speaking after the Sunderland game on the title hopes of the Gunners and also on a personal level. According to the youngster, six points from Chelsea are not much and puts Arsenal in a good position ahead of the final games of the season.

On a personal level, the 20-year old added how he is slowly getting back to normal fitness after suffering injuries, although he still needs to improve the final ball.

Walcott said:

People tend to write us off. We stay in the background and do our own thing. We’re just six points behind Chelsea. It’s looking good. It was frustrating in the early stages of the season with results not going our way, but it’s coming together now.

I’m starting to get there now, it’s just getting that final ball sorted. I’m not looking too far towards the World Cup at all to be honest – I’m just concentrating on Arsenal with all the big games ahead of us because I’ve not really featured much for my club this season.

I just need to stay fully fit and if I do hopefully I’ll have a chance of getting on the plane.
