Arsenal's Injury Woes Continue

       Arsenal will be without another key first team player for a couple of weeks, right-back Bacary Sagna will be out for for at least their next two games because of a thigh injury.   Sagna, 27, picked up the niggle against Chelsea in the 2-0 defeat at Stanford Bridge and was ruled out of France's Euro 2012 qualifiers against Romania and Luxembourg.  He is now also likely to miss club games against Birmingham on Saturday and Shakhtar Donetsk on 19 October.  Arsenal are missing five players who could easily be in the first team, the others are Cesc Fabregas, Theo Walcott, Robin van Persie, Thomas Vermaelen and Nicklas Bendtner.  They are also missing a few squad players as well with defender Kieran Gibbs, midfielders Aaron Ramsey and Abou Diaby and goalkeeper Manuel Almunia all out injured.

 

The Race That Will Not Stop

      After concerns a plenty about the readiness of the Delhi Commonwealth Games, in general it has gone better than I would of thought.  The swimmers getting a stomach bug being called 'Delhi Belly', the lack of crowds and then crowds which don't know when to be silent.  The problems on the whole have been minor, it was very disappointing to watch the cycling road races happen without many spectators watching it due to over zealous road blockages.  The daft mistake was the 10m diving board which was found to be 70cm to high.  But for me there has been one race which has ultimately grabbed my attention, the women's 100m race.  Just when we though it was all over and it had had more than its fair share of the limelight, it decided it wanted some more.
