Obiang and Antonio – Relaxing Massage

These guys have run all year. Often without much praise. Antonio burst onto the scene last year and has not stopped running since. Obiang took a little longer to cement his place but has not stopped working.

Even when the fans were getting on the players’ backs these two were exempt from criticism about the work ethic, it was just incredible. Obiang’s willingness to keep on running is keeping our midfield together and our defence intact.

Antonio gets up and down the wing like no-one else and still climbs higher than anyone except Carroll. Both deserve a good rest and regular massages for the rest of the season.

Are there any other presents you’d hand out to the squad? Let us know in the comments below or on twitter or facebook!
