Gunners winger wants to build on fine season personally

Theo Walcott has piled the pressure on Arsenal by saying they 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 and being knocked out of the Champions League by Barcelona.

Manchester United dumped them out of the FA Cup and Arsenal's 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, who hopes to win his 17th England cap against Switzerland at Wembley, 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.
