Bolton Wanderers and England under 21's midfielder Fabrice Muamba collapsed during the FA Cup quarter-final at White Hart Lane as Tottenham Hotspur hosted Bolton Wanderers.

 

Fabrice 23, received medical treatment while on the field of play shortly after collapsing in the 41st minute of the game. Fabrice was then rushed to hospital as the game was abandoned by match official Howard Webb after consultation with both managers Owen Coyle and Harry Redknapp.

 

Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of Fabrice.

 

Update

Fabrice is stable although in a critical condition in intensive care in the Heart Attack Cente at the London Chest hospital.

    Don't even know why, could of easily put a Spurs player on the back but I got an England shirt with Muamba on the back today.   Hello to you lot by the way, as you probably guessed I'm a Spurs fan!

  • Retiring the shirt is the most ridiculous thing I think I have ever heard.

And if we ever sign eejits like that you can have my season ticket back!

I don't care how much the pundits over inflate their egos, you can shove Cole and Gerard and Barton, and Crouch and Parker where the sun don't shine

 

I'd rather have Robinson, Pratley and "wash my mouth out" Eagles , than that bunch of money grabbers

 

 

Jesus did I just say Eagles!!!

 

You just took the prize for the most stupid post of all time off Homer.

 

We want a team of nice blokes and decent chaps ?

 

The only difference between our players and the ones you mention is that ours are not as good or as high profile.

 

This excludes the christian element such as Eagles but he scores double points in the not as good section.

 

You may explained OCs transfer policy though.

Apparently he'll have one of these

memo to Coyle - put him on the subs bench at the last minute possible against Spurs at the Reebok. that would definitely unnerve their side and have them in awe. the crowd would be electric,players totally fired up for a change and 3 points in the bag. we stay up,everyone's happy.......MOM ....i've shat em :db:

Back on thread, do we know when Muamba will be having the defibrillator fitted?

Nothing there to suggest it's anything more than a padded out version of the Mirror piece.

 

I'm very sceptical about the validity of this news.

So, we'll get him fit and raring to go and then Coyle won't play him!

Fantastic news yet very early in his recovery, just don't put too much pressure on the young lad to pull on a white shirt again. I sincerely wish Fab all the very best and if he plays again the reception will be filled with tears of joy but if he never kicks a ball again as a professional I still think it's a miracle he is alive.

Whatever happens and he lives to be a grand old age is remarkable.

Thinking about this

 

They will have to get him into training to see if he can come back or not and for the insurers to see whether they have to pay out.

Get him on the pitch before the Swansea game, that would give everyone a boost..

Well it's not for me to say to him or to the medical people whether he should try to resume his career or not, but unless they really have 100% ascertained it's summat that was a fluke, and if happens again can be contained, then I really hope he doesn't risk it. He'll not be short of a bob or two and - as I've said before - as a bright lad he can make a mint by writing his autobiography interspersing his unusual and dramatic early life with the events that unfolded a few weeks back. He could do a Brian Moore and win the William Hill sports book of the year. Etc..etc..media work.... etc...into a ripe old age. I'm happy to pay me ST money to see blokes put effort in and maybe risk painful injury, but I've no desire to again witness what I saw at WHL.

That said, if he's up to it a brief appearance walking out to a guard of honour before the start of the Spurs home game (preferably preceded by some of the mob who saved him) would be fucking tip top.

Indeed, especially if you'd like to see this grown man cry.

Back on thread, do we know when Muamba will be having the defibrillator fitted?

 

I've had one of these for 6 years. Ok we don't know the specifics of Fabrices' condition,

but when mine was fitted I was told to avoid contact sports in case the leads to the heart became detached. But there is always advancement in medical science.

Hopefully this is the case.

did fadiga not have one for years?

I think Fadiga carried on playing for around 7 years with his "pacemaker" fitted.

Hope he is but he wasn't playing much before his cardiac arrest and next season Holden will be back, if he's good to play, maybe he won't get a game with NRC, Pratley( he should before this shite, but knowing Coyle?) Holden ahead of him.

 

It's a miracle if he even plays as a back up/rotation player, good enough for our team, but mentally, i.e knowing you've collapsed before, will this play a part whilst he's on the field again, which could effect his game.

didles, you are talking sense, and even swearing, are you OK?

The fact the lad is walking around again is good enough to make the squad.

clueless fcuker will probably fine him for missing training
