Abou Diaby has broken and dislocated his ankle following the shocking challenge from Sunderland defender Dan Smith.

Let's wish Abou a speedy recovery.

Yes its true, Arsenal new boy Abou Diaby, like to put himself about, and Ivan 'The Mop' Campo was the unlucky fellow on the end of one of them.


Of course 'Big Fat Sam' has had a pop with this little dig: "My ultimate search is on, given the very depressing news after the game on Saturday that Ivan Campo has broken his foot after what was a horrendous challenge on him" .


Well he would know wouldn't he. Yes Diaby was late, but horrendous is rather strong, you can see on this clip, he was a fraction late, and Campo's follow-through is what did the damage. It's a shame he broke his foot, but I'm still pleased to see we have someone in the midfield, that is going to put himself about. It's what has been missing.

I like most gooners feel, we have been on the receiving end a little too much, and perhaps now we can give a bit back if we have to.
