There has been plenty of action to keep us occupied in the world of sport over the last seven days.
Bad week
Joe Hart
England's first-choice goalkeeper found himself on the bench for both of Manchester City's games this week.
Costel Pantilimon was preferred for the wins over Newcastle and Norwich after manager Manuel Pellegrini deemed Hart's mistake at Chelsea the previous Sunday one error too many.
Pantilimon kept two clean sheets and Hart
now looks set for an extended spell out of the starting XI.
"Joe needs a rest. I think it will be useful for him," said Pelligrini. "He played the last two years and had every match here. Every player can have a bad moment ... We will work hard behind Joe so we can return him to his normal performance as soon as possible."
Norwich City
Hart's absence didn't make a lot of difference at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday with Pantilimon able to take it easy as Manchester City put seven goals past Norwich.
A Bradley Johnson own goal in the 16th minute set the tone for a miserable afternoon for the visitors, who were 4-0 down after before half-time.
City added another three after the break to leave Norwich in the relegation zone after their sixth Premier League defeat of the season.
"It can happen against the quality of the opposition here but we're not used to it. At the moment it's hurting and we need to rectify it quickly,"
said Norwich manager Chris Hughton.
Lewis Hamilton
The Mercedes driver pointed the finger at himself after his slump in form continued with a
seventh-place finish at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
For the fifth time in six races Hamilton was beaten by team-mate Nico Rosberg, who finished third behind Red Bull duo Vettel and Webber.
Hamilton said: "Clearly, with Nico's result the car is better than what I'm able to bring home with it, so I just want the guys back home to know that I'll keep pushing.
"It's the same in every race so it can't be other peoples' fault. Nico is getting great points for the team, so I just need to work harder to do the same."
Jason Kenny
The Olympic champion
was knocked out at the qualifying stage of the individual sprint at the UCI Track Cycling World Cup in Manchester.
Kenny posted the 24th quickest flying lap, with only the top 16 going through to the knockout rounds.
"The performance isn't a surprise and then, when you consider the conditions and the circumstances, the outcome, unfortunately, isn't too much of a surprise either." British sprint coach Iain Dyer said.
The result leaves Kenny needing a strong performance at the second Track World Cup of the season, in Mexico from December 5-7, to qualify for the individual sprint at the world championships next year.
Houston Texans
Houston Texans' season continued to unravel as they blew an 18-point lead to lose 27-24 at home to division rivals Indianapolis Colts, while
head coach Gary Kubiak was taken to hospital at half-time after collapsing on the sideline.
The team said Kubiak was in a stable condition and had not suffered a heart attack. He remained in a local hospital overnight.
The Texans, who won the AFC South with a 12-4 record last season, have now lost six in a row after starting the campaign with two wins.
They trail the Colts by four games and already look out of the play-off race with half the regular season still to come.
