03.17.12 | One thing I will say though. The third assertion in Kyle Walker's tweet of "Doesn't matter who you support. Doesn't matter if you aren't a football fan. Doesn't matter if you aren't religious. Pray for Fabrice Muamba." strikes me as being downright silly. |

03.17.12 | i've been shocked all evening, i hope he pulls through and recovers. |

03.17.12 | Not sure about making it into the England squad but I hope he pulls through, 23 is far too young to pass. |

03.17.12 | Yeah I've always thought that he's a really underrated player. This is terrible. |

03.18.12 | Mmm, I've been refreshing the news feed all night hoping for good news, really hope he pulls through. |

03.18.12 | It absolutely terrified me seeing usually-composed people like Howard Webb visibly distressed and at a loss. It was horrific just to experience the ESPN commentary because you could sense the subtext in everything they were saying and it was just terrible.
The thing that annoyed me about Twitter was the number of people saying that God healed Muamba. I'm not about to go on a religious rant, but the guy is still alive - even if critically ill - now, because of the fantastic response of so many medical staff and people in a position of authority/trust. The speed and efficiency of the treatment he received was immense.
It's days like this one that sport seems like a different entity entirely. |

03.18.12 | I was at a loss when I saw this. He started in the ranks with Justin Hoyte at the Arsenal youth academy. Really hope he pulls through. |

03.18.12 | Really shocking, it reminded me of a similar situation that happened in our domestic league years ago (Feher), really hoping for a different outcome. |
Recspecs
03.18.12 | The Feher video is so haunting, I remember watching that on a team bus on the way to a playoff game. Shit scared our team. |

03.18.12 | and that cameroonian whose name escapes me |
Dreamflight
03.18.12 | Yes, and our media really overused that footage, playing it every now and then for almost an entire weak, showing abs no respect for his memory imo.
AnarchistFish: it was Marc Viven Foe, really shocking too. |

03.18.12 | This and Eric Abidal's liver cancer shocked me. I hope both make it through this. |
