Walcott demands silverware

Theo Walcott says Arsenal must put an end to their trophy drought next season.

The Gunners have not claimed silverware since winning the 2005 FA Cup and went agonisingly close this season.
Arsene Wenger's men were going well on all four fronts before losing the Carling Cup final to Birmingham City and being knocked out of the Champions League by Barcelona.
Manchester United dumped them out of the FA Cup and Arsenal's Barclays Premier League title challenge then faltered and they slipped to finish fourth.


All that was despite Walcott claiming a best-ever tally of 13 goals for the season, from 38 appearances in all competitions.
But the 22-year-old winger has urged the Gunners to learn from last term.
"I had the best season I've had in a long time," he said. "I have scored a lot of goals and got more assists.
"As a team we weren't able to perform to our abilities in the last few games. We should have got third but it was just snatched away from us.
"We have only got ourselves to blame on that front. We have to win trophies but I think we can do it next season."
