Arsene Wenger, The Martyr: The sacrifices involved in playing the beautiful game.
I remember just after the recent, very drab 1-0 win over Burnley how I just felt a little empty. I had thought that victory, and a further consolidation of 2nd place, would feel better. It didn't. The game was boring. I keep hoping, as all supporters do I'm sure, that winning and beauty can coincide at some point, and I assumed that if forced to choose, I'd take winning over beauty, but that Burnley game makes me question myself. That being said, it felt great to beat Man City 2-0 in a very pragmatic fashion!
