How is it Hump Day already?! Time flies when you're...oh, time always flies these days, it would seem. Anyhoo, yesterday proved most enjoyable as the Champions League offered up some solid action.

And everyone's favorite Roman God Francisco Totti scored at the Etihad to ensure his side returned to the Eternal City with a precious point. Let's hit it!

Miguel Delaney, meanwhile, is taking a look at the current (and seemingly omnipresent) looming issue for the Arsenal gaffer: Injuries.
