Theo Walcott has claimed to the club’s official website that the mental strength Arsenal possess is ‘the strongest it has ever been’ since he joined the club in 2006.
It is the England international’s 10th anniversary of being a Gunner this week and he has played an important part in Arsenal’s rise to the top of the Premier League this season.
The mental strength in our dressing room is the strongest it has ever been. When you have the likes of Petr Cech coming in, he only enhances that.
Arsenal could only draw against Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium but Walcott wasn’t too disheartened with the result.
The Englishman praised the way his team fought physically but admitted that a point was a fair result against a very attacking Stoke side.
All the big teams that have come here have struggled, with Stoke getting positive results. There were mixed emotions in the dressing room, but it is probably a fair result. We felt from the start that we were up for the fight, physically. It’s a shame that we couldn’t get the result we desperately wanted but it is an improvement from previous performances here and we have got to be proud of that point.
The north London club are joint-top of the Premier League table, level on points with this season’s surprise package Leicester City but Walcott believes that with the experienced Petr Cech in goal, they are the more formidable side.

He (Cech) has lifted everybody’s heads up, saying this is a very good point and nobody tends to win here. We just have to look at him because he has been at the top level and won many things so if we have the belief that he has got, we can push on.
Walcott has scored five goals this season for Arsenal and has been relatively injury free, apart from a calf injury that plagued his November.
