Athletes are people exactly like us in every way! Every single day, they go to their work, get stopped in traffic on the way there, and then they go back to their houses to talk to their families about how their days went. Moreover, whenever they feel the need for a break, they get their family together and go on vacation. There is no denying that their jobs pay outrageous amounts of money, and that their automobiles, homes, and vacations typically cost a great deal more than we make in a year, but at this point, we are merely arguing over an insignificant matter.

Speaking of vacations, with the Premier League winter break under way, Mikel Arteta packed the complete Arsenal family into the proverbial van and drove them on a week-long excursion to sunny Dubai to stretch their legs, escape the dismal London winter, and get in a little training in between.
