He had nursed quite well until his mate knackered him.

The way Cesc fell on his knee was where the damage was done, the full impact of him landing on it would have damaged even a completely ‘ fit ‘ leg.

He probably should have given the penalty to someone else though . . . hard to do at the time but he should have really.

Nevermind, we’ll just have to rely on Nasri, Walcott, Rosicky and Diaby like never before !

Commeth the hour .. commeth the man … now it’s time for Nasri to move to the middle alongside Diaby or Dennilson. Song is going to have to move back to play next to TV I think, poor Sol just isn’t up to it anymore. We will also miss Arshavin for a few weeks but maybe now it’s time for Walcott to step up to the plate too …. it’s a funny old game as they say but I think we now have some good depth in midfield. Let’s not forget Eboue has shown a few glimpses lately too so it really isn’t over yet!

I’m numb to all these injuries now, let’s just get on with it.
