Tottenham's Lennon: I could take Walcott, Agbonlahor in sprint

In-form Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon reckons he could take Arsenal's Theo Walcott in a sprint.

Lennon is set to succeed injured Walcott when the next England squad is called and declared: "I’ve never raced Theo, but I think it would be close. It would be good. Gabby (Agbonlahor) and Theo are both really quick, but I don’t know who would win a race between the three of us."

He added: "End product is something I need to improve on and I’ve been working on it a lot. It has paid off a bit with getting the assist and what proved to be the winning goal.

"I also want to add goals to my game. But I work on crossing in training. We do a lot and it’s something I’ve been trying to improve from the right and left side. I don’t mind playing either side, so I need to be able to cross from the left and right."

Not really into football but here's a stupid question. When I see Arsenal play, why is it that there players go to ground at the slightest of touches? I watched match of the day when they played Stoke and it was like a bloodbath they way they were dropping. I feel sorry for Theo Walcott, why don't they beef-up their players?

he beat agbonglwhore in the nike vapour challenge which includes sprinting u silly gooner a holearoonies!

sure you can...injured walcott...of course
