Benny The Ball Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Thought that one or two may find Patrick Barclays take on this weekends match of Interest To Quote "As we approach the Superest Sunday of them all, on which three crucial issues ? those of the Premier League title and the remaining places in the Champions League and Championship next season ? will be settled beyond speculation, the image of Fabrice Muamba ought to loom ever larger. It might be a good idea to suspend the word ?vital?. For Bolton Wanderers will be relegated if they fail to beat Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium. They might even go down if they win at Stoke while Queens Park Rangers are lending the Mancunian title narrative a final twist by denying City at the Etihad. In either case, the question might occur of whether even the minor fixture congestion caused by the wait for Muamba to begin his recovery from heart arrest at Tottenham was a factor in Bolton?s inability to beat the drop. If it were asked of Owen Coyle, the admirable man who manages Bolton would no doubt swat the notion aside, emphasising its insignificance next to the near-miracle of Muamba?s survival; to judge from what we have seen of Muamba over the past few weeks, it would not be the greatest of surprises if one day he resumed his career, and then the division in which it took place would hardly be the point. But we, the great body of neutrals, would not be human if we didn?t wish Muamba?s clubmates well at Stoke and QPR fans ought to be prepared for that." Lets just hope these sentiments gather pace in the 60 hours or so and word reaches the Britannia and the Stoke players - afterall we need all the help we can get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whites man Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 It's to Coyle's credit, and his defenders on here I suppose, that the Muamba situation hasn't been used as an excuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter desperado Posted May 10, 2012 Site Supporter Share Posted May 10, 2012 THis sympathy means nothing, think I preferred it when the whole nation wanted our long ball foreign mercenaries to go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonk Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 The one game that was posponed directly as a result was Villa away and we won that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrandt Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 The one game that was posponed directly as a result was Villa away and we won that. And on top of that, most of the damage to our survival chances was done back in October to December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalfordOriginal Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Lets just hope these sentiments gather pace in the 60 hours or so and word reaches the Britannia and the Stoke players - afterall we need all the help we can get I am sure we have been here before and it resulted in a 2-0 defeat with lots of people caught crying on the tele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanBW Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 It's to Coyle's credit, and his defenders on here I suppose, that the Muamba situation hasn't been used as an excuse. Coyle's critics on here seem to think the Muamba heart attack cannot be used as an excuse because he wouldn't have been playing anyway (even though he was playing when he had his heart attack) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breightmet Boy Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 This blokes views mean absolutely nothing, they're pleasant I suppose but mean nowt, it's up to the manager and the team he picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Carlos Posted May 11, 2012 Moderators Share Posted May 11, 2012 Coyle's critics on here seem to think the Muamba heart attack cannot be used as an excuse because he wouldn't have been playing anyway (even though he was playing when he had his heart attack) It was a cup game love, Muamba himself had twittered about Coyle picking his favourites i.e. Darren Pratley.

pato Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 And neutrals can go feck themselves as well Fecking sportswriters writing for the neutral market pah when was the last time you saw a neutral at the races? I ask you do you see someone going on how all the horses having a jolly good time going in circles instead of shouting at the furious short person on the horses back to fecking move on or the mortgage is fucked?
