Things to think about over Christmas

Ed. Note – Well, sorry to say, it looks like the season is over. I just read the following piece and, quite frankly, Arsenal will be lucky to avoid the drop this season. The grains of truth are overwhelmed by unneeded negativity. I come out looking like Stag compared to this member…

Lots for AW to think about this Christmas, also lots to think about for fans, there have been a lot of interesting points doing the rounds at the various arsenal blogs/websites including this one, ranging from Reyes to Almunia and ofcourse, Chelsea!

Defensive midfielder is not the most enjoyable position to play. Ask any football player, if they have choice, everyone would want to be a striker who scores goal, or a wing wizard who could work magic with his footwork. Being a defensive midfielder, you would have to run your socks off chasing the loose ball, stopping the opposition. In other words – doing the “dirty work” which no one else enjoys doing. So often they come away without any credit. But it would be even worse when they are labelled as “lazy” after 90 minutes hard work.
