Theo Walcott admits "things have happened" within Arsenal dressing room


England forward, Theo Walcott, admitted that there is fight going on in the Arsenal dressing room, and called on his team-mates to stop fighting one another.
This followed reports of a training ground squabble among the players.
Alexis Sanchez is said to have left training early last week following a row which led to him been dropped on the bench in their last encounter with Liverpool.

Although, Wenger has denied the allegations, Walcott believes arguments were part and parcel of any football team, but added the squad needs to be in one mind.
He told Evening Standard, “Things get taken out of proportion – we all know this.
“There are certain things that happen at training grounds.
“I’m sure it happens at every other training ground, most of the time, really.
“You don’t see it often at Arsenal. Things have happened. They need to stay in the dressing room and the players and staff need to sort it out.
“We are in it together here. We can’t be fighting each other.
“I don’t really want to go into it but the stuff that has gone on did not affect our first half here [the 5-1 defeat to Bayern Munich]. At certain times when things don’t go well, you don’t want to have anything in your head that you are giving up.
“The 5-1 scoreline looks like we have given up but we haven’t. It just looks like that. That’s the disappointing thing because we know as players we don’t give up.”
