“Thirdplace is a step forward from where we finished last year,” Walcott toldStandard Sport. “But we want to - and need to - be pushing on now and trying tochallenge for the title.
“第三名较之去年，是我们跨出的第一步”虎子说“但我们渴望、需要去挑战冠军。
“There was an opportunity in the season when we were getting close to Chelsea and people were taking about us competing but I sensed throughout the dressing room that we were never quite up there with Chelsea.
“这赛季有一个机会，让我们一度接近切尔西，人们开始谈论我们争冠我，但我从整个更衣室感觉到，我们还没有作好准备。”

“But looking at the squad, the manager has an absolute headache to try and pick his best team and we want that going into next season. We are looking very strong and you never know, he might add a few extra players but we need to be pushing for the Premier League now.There is no excuse.”
“但看一眼阵容，温格现在为挑选首发而头疼，我们希望下赛季也如此。我们的实力看来很强，但你永远不知道，温格或许会再买几名球员，好向冠军发起冲击。现在，破厂没有借口

Arsenal have started slowly in their two matches since securing a top-four place and Walcott revealed Wenger’s angry reaction at half-time yesterday helped to spark a revival.
最近两场比赛，也就是他们确保前四后，破厂开局都打得松松垮垮，虎子透露温格在中场休息怒气冲天，点燃了球队的斗志。
“You might have sensed [a drop in intensity] in the first half and the manager definitely gave us a kick up the backside at half-time because the job is not over at all,” he said.
可能上半场我们是有点松，老头中场来给我们猛猛来了一下，让我们明白，活还没干完呢。
