One of the few clubs who desperately needed the break was Arsenal and mainly manager Arsene Wenger (who hasn't exactly welcomed international fixtures in the past), he may not have any extra players to recall following a 2 week break. But the feeling of Arsenal's season starting now must be at the forefront of his plans, with the team languishing in a lowly 15th position following a damaging derby defeat to Spurs. Wenger's first task must be to get the majority of the fans back on his side and the only way to do that is to stop making excuses and false promises and deliver results. He still believes that a champions league spot is possible but with every poor performance the more likely the Emirates will turn on him and his side, which will eventually lead to the what seemed impossible not too long ago- a new man in the hot seat. Another side struggling that would have enjoyed the break is Bolton, the ever solid Wanderers aren't use to struggling but their start to the season has been pretty woeful by their high standards since their 4-0 demolition of QPR on the first day of the season. However out of Owen Coyle and Wenger I think I'd rather be in the Glaswegian's shoes as I can still see their season ended how they hoped in August, Arsenal however could well be looking up at Owen Coyle's men in disappointment come May.

Having a break can be good for some... bad for others
As the first break in the season comes to its conclusion, before the busy resumption into Christmas, some teams and players may have wished the break had been extended or have never came at all.
One of the few clubs who desperately needed the break was Arsenal and mainly manager Arsene Wenger (who hasn't exactly welcomed international fixtures in the past), he may not have any extra players to recall following a 2 week break. But the feeling of Arsenal's season starting now must be at the forefront of his plans, with the team languishing in a lowly 15th position following a damaging derby defeat to Spurs.
