Theo could grab two world firsts in a week. Who'd have thought it? (Photo: Clive Rose)
What a week this could turn out to be for Arsenal winger/maybe a striker/definitely-a-winger-now, Theo Walcott.
It started on Sunday when he nodded in a goal in the Gunners' home win against Bournemouth, executing the customary "cradle" celebration to perfection after the birth of his second child. Nice.
Then, on Tuesday, he only went and broke a Guinness World Recordafter controlling a ball from a 34-metre high crane. Lovely.
Now he could be on the verge of owning another world first this weekend if he bags a goal against West Ham- specifically, the world's first app-controlled Bean to Cup coffee machine. Random.

The backstory to this is a little odd. Essentially, Walcott's wife, Melanie, has organised for the unique first-ever De'Longhi PrimaDonna Elite coffee machine to be delivered to Theo - on the requirement he scores 10 goals before Christmas.
Thirsty Theo is currently stuck on nine, so he's already got a latte (sorry) of the goals needed. One more against the Hammers this weekend will do it.

But here's the good news for the England forward: he has scored five goals against West Ham in the Premier League, which is the most against any opponent he has faced - so you think he'd fancy his chances against an inconsistent outfit in their still-new home.
So if you see Theo bust out a revolutionary drinking-out-of-an-impossibly-small-cup-with-two-fingers celebration tomorrow, remember, you hear it here first. *winks*
