Hi… um… yeah.. no…
I don’t want to know. I truly don’t wanna know if we could.
I mean… I want to know that we can without her on the starting squad for injury or personal reasons but I don’t think I’ve been less interested in any topic at the moment than I am about learning if we can cope without Lia as an Arsenal player.
The importance of Lia is one of those ABSOLUTE things. Every single fan agrees that she is IT. Without her we struggle, and since I’ve followed the team that’s been a constant. She is the barometer or thermometer or whatever you wanna call it. How se plays, Arsenal play, and I honestly don’t feel this is applicable to anyone else. Or maybe if it does, say with Kim Little, it doesn’t feel to me as glaringly obvious.
You might be wondering what the hell I am on about, so… there’s a video making the rounds on that site from absolute hell aka twitter, where she.. well… you can watch it here
The fact of the matter is that I can survive DVD leaving I can survive anyone moving on. Sorry, not sorry. I know life goes on and I know I could sleep soundly. I don’t want it to happen but it’s clearly a possibility. But if I’m honest, I never ever thought about her leaving. Lia is just there forever, right?
Now, I would think that with Leah’s horrible injury, things might be different. I’m not sure when that video is from exactly, but let’s say that it was BEFORE Leah’s injury… then I could totally understand Lia leaving since Leah could take over eventually.
BTW if you are reading this and you have NO CLUE what I’m talking about: Lia and Leah are different people. Just know that Lia is our cornerstone and without her we might collapse.
Anyway… Lia might feel like she has to stay to help cover and perhaps sign a one year extension?! Either way, the sooner we know the better because the semi return leg could be her last match ever at The Emirates and she deserves a sendoff from a massive crowd like that.
