March 17, 201214 yr Just heard about that earlier. I can't believe it. Hope he makes a quick recovery.
March 17, 201214 yr I know a few Newcastle fans and I know a Chelsea fan myself. They all just want a good day out watching their teams and don't make a big "Hollier than thou" attitude about it to others like United fans do to other teams. Swansea thrashed Fulham 3-0 and Wales get the 6 Nations Grand Slam. I'm happy as fuck right now.
March 17, 201214 yr Sky SN reports that Fabrice Muamba is in stable condition at the hospital now (as of 8.20pm)
March 17, 201214 yr :(:( Relieved that FM seems to be okay. Shocking, horrible news. The Football world has only just got over Gary Speed. :shocked3::shocked2:
March 17, 201214 yr Brilliant day for Welsh sport. Still not the same without Gary Speed around, he was a Welshman through and through.
March 17, 201214 yr It really puts football into perspective. It would be disrespectful to think of anything else right now than the well being of Fabrice Muamba right now. I pray he will be ok.
March 18, 201214 yr Watching it on TV and everybody's faces on the pitch and in the stands really got home. All the best to him, hope the young lad pulls through.
March 18, 201214 yr Muamba 'facing crucial 24 hours' Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba faces a crucial 24 hours in his fight for life, manager Owen Coyle has said. The 23-year-old remains critically ill after collapsing during an FA Cup quarter-final tie against Tottenham. He is being treated in the intensive care unit of the heart attack centre at the London Chest Hospital and an update on his condition is to be released later on Sunday morning. Coyle said: "It's very serious. There's no getting away from that." He added: "God willing, he makes it through." Medics spent six minutes trying to resuscitate the former England under-21 international on the field after he fell to the ground with no other players around him. The score was 1-1 when the match was abandoned after 41 minutes. Coyle said: "Fabrice is critically ill. The next 24 hours are going to be absolutely crucial. "We've obviously been inundated with people wishing him well and we hope that if everybody can pray strongly tonight that Fabrice is able to recover." The club and the hospital issued a joint statement at 2130 GMT on Saturday saying: "Bolton Wanderers can confirm that Fabrice Muamba has been admitted to the Heart Attack Centre at the London Chest Hospital where he is in a critically ill condition in intensive care. The club and hospital request that the media and public respect the family's privacy at this time." Members of Muamba's family and his fiancee attended the hospital on Saturday night. Medical staff gave mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to Muamba, who was born in Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo) but moved to England aged 11, and tried to revive him with a defibrillator. In total, six medics were treating the player, who joined Wanderers from Birmingham in 2008 and has made 148 appearances for the club. Both sets of supporters chanted Muamba's name as he was taken off the pitch on a stretcher. ESPN, who were broadcasting the match, reported that he was not breathing as he was taken into the tunnel. Referee Howard Webb called the visibly shaken players off the field after consulting with Coyle and Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp. After Muamba was taken to hospital, the match was abandoned. The former Arsenal midfielder was accompanied in the ambulance by Coyle and club captain Kevin Davies. Football Focus presenter Dan Walker had an exchange of text messages with Davies on Saturday evening. "Encouragingly, he [Davies] said Fabrice is showing real fight which is the best possible news," Walker said. "Kevin says he is not giving up and he's digging in and showing a bit of battle. "The fact they got him breathing again makes you marvel at the work these paramedics, doctors and nurses do." Arsenal defender Johan Djourou, who played with Muamba at the Gunners, posted on Twitter that he had visited his friend in hospital. "Just left the hospital. Love you so much man! Keep fighting. Everybody please pray for him he's an amazing man and friend." BBC Radio 5 live's chief football reporter Ian Dennis, who was covering the game at White Hart Lane, witnessed medics rushing to aid Muamba. "When the medical staff arrived his face was on the turf," he said. "You could see them using a defibrillator and he was [electronically] charged on at least two occasions. Everyone could see Fabrice Muamba was fighting for his life. If he does pull through it will be down to the quick actions of the medics." Soon after the incident, messages of support flooded in for the former Birmingham player. Spurs' Rafael van der Vaart was one of those on the pitch when Muamba collapsed. He tweeted: "Terrible what happened with Muamba during the game. We're all praying for him." England international Jack Wilshere, who played with Muamba at Bolton, wrote: "Hope Muamba is OK. Thoughts with him." Middlesbrough defender Justin Hoyte, who played in the Arsenal youth team with Muamba, said: "I seriously hope my best friend in football is OK. Stay strong bro, please please stay strong. God is with you remember that." A spokesman from Muamba's former club Birmingham said: "The thoughts of everyone at the club are with Fabrice and his family. He was a very popular member of the club during his time here and everyone at St Andrew's is shocked and saddened to see what happened." Former Blues chairman David Gold Tweeted: "Fabrice Muamba is one of the nicest and most respectful young men I ever met in football. I'm thinking of you Fab, get well soon." http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17419654

March 18, 201214 yr Dissapointed....Wolves.. did not even turn up up today.. Feels like we lost this week... when we have not even played.... Lets hope Mancini and some of the players end their fued promptly... I can´t believe we have almost thrown this away.....Next Season...now Didnt you say like last week you don't understand why everyone's acting like it's the end of the world?! And now you're on about next season already? If you don't win it then you haven't thrown anything away, you may have been ahead most of the season but never by more then a few points, United have pushed it all the way. 'Throwing it away' would be several points ahead and then fluffing it all up. If United had lead all season and you were now in the exact same position of chasing them, all City fans would be up for the challenge. Football fans are so fickle.
March 18, 201214 yr man utd won this week, and they lost..as well. we won...a tremundous game... however it feels like we have now lost everythingbugger the owners... buggger Mancini,... balotelli.. Tevez... theycan all bugger off. life was easier when I could get deluisonal about a derby once every two seasons or so... and maybee when we won the odd one it felt great ... but now... its shit.
March 18, 201214 yr Channel 5 are not happy this week, they lost both big names in their Europa league coverage :P Although considering that the teams that beat both United and the Arabs are no-where near fighting for the title so to them the europa league means something.

March 18, 201214 yr Liverpool Football Club and its fans have no ethics whatsover... Using something like this to say sorry... just an excuse to brand their name about.. Oh come off it. It's not an official poster and you're overreacting. I hardly think that was the intention of the makers of this poster. I guess that was the intention the creators of my sig below then. To most football fans, crests like the Liverbird, the Arsenal cannon or the Norwich canary are symbols of the teams we support. But you being a Man City fan, I guess your club's badge now represents more of a brand to support and not a symbol so maybe I can understand your misunderstanding here.
