Arsenal FC kept within striking distance of table toppers Chelsea this week by defeating Stoke City 3-1. Arsenal forward Theo Walcott scored again upping his total to 10 goals on the season. The reward for hitting double digits at this point? A new coffee maker from his wife Melanie Walcott.
“She said, ‘if you get 10 goals before Christmas, I’ll buy you this coffee machine,'” Walcott said in a feature story on him published by the Telegraph.
“So I can’t wait for that and hopefully it will happen. Coming from the wing as well, I’m obviously delighted with my goals so far.”

I’m assuming it’s going to be a Keurig, and not a coffee maker of the less modern variety. He is making £110,00 a week this season, so I think Theo Walcott can get the highest end coffee maker available, right?
