Mark Following the sudden collapse of Fabrice Muamba in today’s FA Cup tie with Spurs, Bolton have tonight issued an official statement which indicates that Muamba remains “in a critically ill condition in intensive care.”
Our thoughts and prayers remain with Muamba’s family and friends during this time.
Just been reading all the kind comments many of you have made regarding Muamba and that makes me glad to be part of this club. My thoughts are with his family at this time.
Watched Fulham v Swansea highlights on MOTD and Fulham were awful. No width and micky mouse defending paticularly from Senderous and Kelly
Swansea were also excellent at keeping and moving the ball.
I'll let them off. With a very old Diarra as the only DM they were always going to get overrun. Jol made a huge mistake dropping Murphy ( Klaxon)
It's not just that. Playing AJ upfront and Dempsey wide or deep is never good for Fulham. Dempsey must play support striker for Pog, that's it. And what's the point of playing Ruiz on right wing when Kelly has an average position like winger as well (according to gamecast), leaving Senderos shockingly exposed to errors on CD-R.
So yeah, Jol got it all wrong tonight, but he doesn't seem to be learning from his own mistakes.
It worked for the previous few games, but it was the wrong tactic to use against Swansea...
Its all well and good playing an attacking team, but if you cant control posession you cant score any goals. Swansea are the perfect team to reveal these flaws.
Senderos was awful. He is not good enough to play for Fulham imo. Don't know why Jol keeps playing him alongside Hangeland.
Its a somber affair on here tonight, but I appreciate that
evening lads, crazy happenings today!
question re: fantasy footy. have 2 ft's for the coming week: what i'm looking at doing is 4 transfers over 2weeks. it will be skrtel, dempsey, silva & ba out for bae, walcott, 5.6mid & rvp in. i have sinclair & i'm thinking of getting siggy in as the 5.6(or less) midfielder. any thoughts or better options?
Siggy seems to be doing OK...
would it be too much with sinclair aswell?
I suppose it's not ideal to have both, but you could play Siggy pretty much every game and play SInclair as well when it's a good fixture? Swansea have some nice looking fixtures after Spurs away in GW31
I've got Siggy and Miyaichi as my cheap mids.
cheers for your replies! i think i'll do it
If Beausajour played for any other team in the league he would have had 3 or 4 assists today. He created so many chances. His delivery was fantastic. But he plays for Wigan, so its a good old 2 pointer.
I am still haunted by the images of the Bolton physio trying to turn Fabrice onto his side. Seeing that you could tell it was very serious and it quickly became distressing. We never want to see those kind of images but I'm just glad the reaction was so swift and gives him a fighting chance.
Fight on Fabrice. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
The medics were excellent and thier swift actions will given him a fighting chance of recovery
yeah i always took the medics for granted..but a guy would have died without them tonight..
True. Makes a mockery of the 'magic sponge' insults we here so often. It's a fact of life now that in our game we can see players breaking their legs, knocked unconcious or even worse on the rare occasion we see something like today's events. The medics are important and the players are putting their bodies on the line for our entertainment. I am thankful for all of it.
On the Wigan V West Brom highlights, I have to say that watching them this week and last week at Carrow Road they have been more than just a little unlucky. They have played some good football but just haven't had the luck, guile and finishing of a Zaki, Rodallega, N'Zogbia etc which we have seen in past seasons. P.S. I know Rod is still there but hasn't been quite as good as when he first emerged.
I was just typing this as Hansen & Co started talking about him but Diame's miss today and the one that Maloney cut back for him last week were real gilt edged chances. If they go down they will be replayed over and over by Diame and Wigan fans.
I can feel a Zaki bandwagon coming on 🙂
i think it's 'when' not 'if' now
When you're down the bottom it really doesn't go for you at all.
Similar with QPR. Created more chances than opponents in recent games and no luck whatsoever. I think after Liverpool we've hit the woodwork more times than nearly any other team or so.
Bad things tend to happen to you when you're down the bottom end of the table and sometimes it seems like external forces are conspiring to stop you winning games.
Of course, that's not the case in reality, but it can feel like that sometimes as a fan.
Alan Hansen.
Closet United Fan.
Daft comment, he loves Liverpool like no other. If they put even a half decent run together he'll be tipping them for the title again.
I find some of comments complete nonsense. In reference to Balotelli he had this golden nuggest of wisdom:
"You don't need a character when you're trying to win titles. You need a character if you're a mid table team".
WTF 👿
I just think he praises United way too much, more than any other team. He rarely says a bad word about them
lets be honest
if you say too many bad things about them as a football team, as much as i hate them, then you just look jealous and stupid
hard to knock a club who has had so much success in recent years
urgh, i take all that back, feel sick, f*ck united
😆
You were right until your last sentence though.
You can't be petty in his position. He's watching United win numerous titles and always coming back every season, even when they are having those years when they're in transition they are still challenging at the top and consitently recycling the squad.
United have done well to be top at this stage and not really been above 3rd gear. Hansen has to give them credit, as do most other football fans, otherwise he'll just have another "you'll never win anything with kids" moment.
He secretly loves SAF. Will come out of closet one day.
Complete sh1te. He hates Fergie. Left him out of the Scotland squad for the World Cup in 1986 (if memory serves me correctly).
He hates him... but god damn it he respects him 😆
Look what happened last time he tried slagging Utd off. He's learned his lesson.
'You'll win nothing with kids' 😆
RMF (rate my films)
a) The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Hollywood version, already seen the Swedish one)
b) The Immortals
c) The Descendants
to watch tonight? C haven't watched it yet but well looking forward to it
Yeah, to watch now. If it's too slow I might fall asleep, though...
The Descendants is out of the question then.. 😉
That's what I figured!
if your looking for an easy flowing good watch (& clearly nerdy stats are your thing as you're on here 🙂 ) watch moneyball... very enjoyable if you have not seen it
Seen it 😉
Hmmm... not the best of selections! Mind you I haven't seen the Descendants...
I know, best I could find that I haven't seen, open to suggestions!
I wouldnt watch any of them frankly. Re-watch the swedish one imo
B is complete turd.
A was a good book, never seen any of the films.
C looks like Oscar arty farty bullscheize.
I say A.
immortals= poor 300
hollywood girl= poor swedish girl
descendants= nice but extremely slow paced
a) Is alright, but doesn't really add anything to the original. Is also pretty long (I think?)
b) Haven't seen it, but got a few people who went expecting not much saying it was pretty good. They weren't film buffs that went though, so still unconvinced it's worth a watch
c) The missus watched and enjoyed the Descendants and I wanted to see it anyway, but don't think it's really a Saturday night film.
I'm not going to lie, I watch a lot less films than I used to nowadays.
The US TV series just blow the majority out of the water.
(Ie The Shield, The Wire, The Sopranos, 24, Sons of Anarchy, Walking Dead, Justified etc etc)
Yeah, exactly the same here. What's Justified about?
Justified is adapted from a Elmore Leonard short story and is about a US Marshall going home to down in the south.
Stars Timothy Olyphant (Deadwood, Die Hard 4, Go)
First season is average, very episode of the week, but gets better towards episode 6/7.
Season 2 and Season 3 (coming towards the end) are very good though.
It''s very different because it deals with down in the sticks etc, which is area you just don't really get covered in different shows.
One of the best shows still running.
Nice, I'll give it a go.
Cheers lads, looks like none of the above 🙂
ughhh it makes me feel sick seeing comments yapping on about Fantasy Football outcomes from today when there is one of our own fighting for his life. it seems disrespectful.
As I've said before, you can care about one thing while caring a lot more about another thing.
You've taught me well 🙂
life goes on mate, what do you want us to do?
we all hope he pulls through
disrespectful? most if not all have expressed their sorrow & wished him a speedy & full recovery... dont want to sound heartless as i'm totally not but this happens! its a terrible thing but people get on with their own lives. he & his family are in people's thoughts & prayers
I sincerely wish Muamba all the best, but agree that doesn't mean that should be the only topic allowed.
Not in this case, as many here almost part of the scene having witnessed pictures, but tragedies also draw an element of somewhat phony communal grieving, as that is seen as the thing to do.
If a teenager is gunned down tonight is that any less tragic? But would your life stop because of it?
Anyone else beside me got minus pts in their Hd to Hd leagues
Saving the freebie this week to do Silva ➡ Bale GW31 then Dempsey ➡ Lampard GW32, followed up by HBA + Simpson ➡ Miyaichi + King(Major Risk).
Forward planning eh. Bet u change ur mind next week. Always happens me.
on a lighter note I.T our teams are evenly matched..i did well benching siggy 😉
😆
You'll be hoping Valencia doesn't make it? I hate your team btw, it's just my team but with a few better players in certain positions thanks to that bumper budget 🙂
damn it
missed out on a ticket for liverpool stoke tomorrow 🙁
My uncle bought tickets for that. Too bad I couldn't go as they were in different stands and he don't trust me alone as I'm 15 :@
Confident we will smash em tbh
you're 15?!!!
:-/
god i feel old
i have just rediscovered a local supporters club that still does a coach to every home game, so hopefully going to start going to a lot more games
yay
Yep I'm 15. You ain't old, I'm just young 😉
That's good, have fun 😀
I've been in and out of many teams even WestHam but I'm soooo dedicated to watching Liverpool games live, I just can't take the chance to miss Liverpool for my football.
Ignore the last bit dude, accidently copied and pasted it
what did the last bit mean?!
Sounds to me like he changes his team as often as his underpants 😉
Oh on Facebook, me and a mate are chatting about how to balance out watching the team we support and playing football for our own teams. Accidently pasted it here like an idiot 🙁
Playing >>>>>>>>>>>> watching. When you get to your 30s playing becomes a lot harder. Play when you're younger, watch when you're older!
like an idiot that played for westham? nice!
you've played for west ham??
Same here, how did you do in your Science GCSE ❓
Still haven't found out, this week I should, hopefully. And you?
So am I 😀
It would be interesting to find out the average age on this site
Your 15 and your name is Heskey
I'm 15 and my name is Gervinho
I guess were bad as eachother 😉
Haha 😉
i would guess around 35/40 . old timers like dan and doos cancel out the teens 😉
old timers?!
i'm 31
he's like 74!
31!! you know once any football player (even fantasy ones) gets past 30 they are past it/over the hill
What with all the moisturising, you don't look a day over 25, Dan.
Isn't it funny how some of the young guns under 16, are ranked higher than those with years of experience 🙂
i think i just presumed we were all in our late 20's early 30's... dont know why
I have been thinking for the past hour or so now,
Does the will to live play any part in an incident such as today? I see people say 'hang in there, Fabrice' , 'Keep fighting Fabrice' etc etc. but
Scientifically, it is all involuntary functions we are dealing with here so there really isnt anything under Muambas control (or is there?),
but im pretty sure so most would disagree. and they would all commemorate his willpower and desire to live when (if) he survives this tragedy.
Not looking for any arguments over this, it was just a deep thought and i didnt want it to go to waste in the depths of my cranial fluid.
Also, re-reading the post, it seems very pointless but I'm still going to post it nonetheless.
Gdnite all, gotta wake up for the F1.
pray for Fabrice.
I think it's more of a mental thing. You got to keep you're mind positive as if you think negative thoughts it may be worse for you
Yes. You can give up fighting.
My godfather had 2 different cancers and MRSA and he beat em all. He was a beast
the placebo effect categorically proves willpower and mental state affect medical conditions
I prefer to think where there's a will there's a way but you're entitled to your views.
Just hoping i wake up tomorrow to some positive news on Muamba. Been an amazing outpouring of emotions from players everywhere on twitter, the latest bring Djourou who apparently has just been to visit him.
Was planning on getting settled after the Colchester journey and sorting my team out with your help, but it just doesnt seem right at the moment, speak to you all tomorrow.
If Southampton get promoted, I can see Lambert being a well owned player. I reckon he will cost 6 mill max
taarabt won player of the championship last year. what price did he start at?
Disastrous pricing though. They overestimated the Andy Caroll and Charlie Adam effect from the previous season.
last 2 seasons, the most hyped up championship player has failed us.
Dorrans first and now Taarabt. (wasnt into FPL in earlier seasons)
I'd stay cautious.
He nearly made a hash of that goal but you're right, he could be Holt or Grahamesque. 6m would be diabolical, he'll come in at 5 or 5.5m.
I would be looking at Morgan Schneiderlin personally. Like him as a player.
Depends if Southampton can hang on to him.
He'll definitely be well owned. It's been a mixed bag with the Championship stars ever since I started playing this game. For every Adam there is at least one McSheffrey, SEB or a Taarabt.
Ahhh SEB, i was soo excited having him in my team when they got promoted. That went well...
Go on then.. Who else people looking at? Not only Southampton players..
Lol, just seen Swansea' 3rd goal, i think us Senderos owners should be worried now!
He was terrible all game, as were Fulham in general. Hangeland, Schwarzer and Kelly all also made similar random mistakes.
I think Stephen Kelly is the one most likely to be dropped. He was terrible and actually even booed by the home crowd for being so negative on his flank and misplacing his crosses when going forward. Also showed up by Sinclair at least once every 15 minutes.
and if you are being shown up by sinclair you know things are bad
Giving the ball away and then falling over, classic Senderos. At times he looks absolute class and then other times, he makes some random mistakes.
Have you already transferred Sigurdsson in aswell? I am still mad at myself for backing out at the last minute this morning.
Yeah I pulled the trigger on Moses->Siggy. Didn't want to lose the 0.3 as I have some potentially expensive players I want in. The decisive factor for me was that we won't know much more anyway before he's up 0.3 as it will be quick and since I had it all planned anyway I just did it.
Aaaaaaaaaaallllllll abbooooooooaaaaaard
Stephen Kelly is absolutely dire. Probably the worst player to ever captain my country that I can remember. Bar McShane.
Honestly, he's really bad. Hope he can keep his place in the team still as I've counted with him in FPL. Didn't know he's captained Ireland.
Just one game where we played a second string side against Uruguay. Andy Keogh, Liam Lawrence and Paul Green can testify for this
I was there today at Craven Cottage and I concur, Steven Kelly was dreadful. Gylfi was good and will get the headlines, but MOM for me was Joe Allen. His awareness of space, technique and passing was exceptional. Him and Britton took hold of that midfield half way through the 1st half and never let go.
i want to go and watch a game there sometime when i'm next in london
is it easy to get tickets?
can't imagine it usually sells out?
i think siggy owners should be worried..
well...those who benched him..like me
And me, along with Caulker and Vorm
half way through slipping/falling over you saw him contemplate trying to tackle allen with his head, HIS HEAD. the sheer vulnerability of the man was actually sad to see, it's like opening the cubicle door of someone taking a poo, you're never more vulnerable than when having a poo, and senderos was mid-poo when allen opened the door.
🙁 Just got home and saw this, awful, awful stuff.
Nothing I can really say that hasn't been said really, shocking.
Hope he pulls through, prayers go out to him and his family.
and in much less important news..the 'worst FFS bandwagon' is on fire!
SEB?
I still think Moses is in fact the worst FFS bandwagon ever, because so many kept him for so long and it took him even longer to produce. Most people had bought him, sold him and bought him again before he had his first score better than 3. He's been decent lately to make up for some of it at least
But... but... he's in your team! 😯
Oh no, not Moses (although I agree, he is pretty shit)
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2012/03/02/men-in-black-gameweek-twenty-seven/comment-page-5/#comment-2796595
This is before the Wigan game.
Boselli was much worse. At least no-one ever captained Moses! Your 5th mid flopping is a lot better than your 3rd striker flopping, those striker slots are more valuable.
i did once for a laugh and a bet
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/840706/event-history/11/
Boselli might actually have been worse, I agree. Moses second.
We can all agree on one thing - don't buy Wigan players.
FPL should think about there pricing next year, I mean Taarabt & Sinclair £6m+ this year, your having a bubble bath.
Huh? What's wrong with Sinclair?
sinclair fpl wise has actually proved to be worth his price (thank you AB). in reality though i can see where you are coming from
I still can't...
They price people on what they'll score in FPL, not how they play.
Sinclair has scored more than Mata and VDV, the same as Lampard, and only a handful less than Walcott and Nani.
thats what i said. i am also saying that 6.5m is just a bit ott for a guy who has only played well in championship
Christ, I had to check that, same score as Lampard 😯 More than VDV and Mata 😯
i had sinclair right at the start!
wish i'd kept him now
Me too! Sinclair, Taarabt and Moses GW1 🙂
Kept them all on my free WC too
To be fair, look at minutes;
Sinclair - 2394
Lampard - 1785 = 6.76 more games
Mata - 2024 = 4.1
VDV - 1561 = 9.26
My haul today
McAuley 2
Senderos 1
Dempsey 2
Pogrebnyak (C) 4
Can't say I'm too surprised though, it was glory or misery with Pog 😎
More importantly, thoughts are with Muamba & family. Really upsetting incident.
why does muamba have a big picture of gareth bale on his twitter page?
He wouldn't be mine with his latest dives
Hey talkin' Sains earlier, now your talkin'
I have 2 tips Fox and Richardson, or whoever we have at full-back next reason. Not because they are exceptional players, but because Adkins formation is crazy. Most assists in Championship? Richardson, Fox has nearly as many. We don't really have wingers, Lallana and whoever's on the other wing drift in and are full-backs are our wingers.
Defensively won't be the best, but we'll score goals and they will provide the assists.
I think you may struggle a bit with the speed of the Prem, with you not having pacey wingers(except De Ridder) but Lambert is pretty deadly from set-peices and i'm sure Kelvin Davis can pull off one of his crazy games(Like vs Leeds.)
Vorm will be 5M at least next year so Davies could be a good cheap back up to go with Vorm
Yep, I hope Cardiff go up, Cardiff & Swansea will rotate all season = Vorm + Heaton(Although Marshall plays the odd game)
If I buy Vorm next year he will play every game. Tempted to do Krul--->Bogdan to raise cash and I am not learning lessons from early in season - I benched Vorm again this GW.
😀
With all honestly, I don't think we'll see Cardiff going up, but I'm excited enough about the Southampton return - let's see what Rickie Lambert can do on EPL level 🙂
Pacey wingers? Like I said we don't have any wingers. Adkins takes the concept of 'wing-back' to a whole new level. When it goes wrong we look very narrow and everyone goes huh?? But can't really argue with the job he's doing.
Saint's regular full-backs will be up there as Saints players with the most assists, trust me.
Any other tips? Do you think Lambert will be able to cut it?
4 points from Kelly, Dempsey and Schwarzer is sickening. On the plus side I played Gylfi. Still not a happy camper though 😐
lucky you..i played valencia with siggy 1st sub...cock
😯
Seems like we've been on this page forever.. 😆
was just thinking the same thing!
Loving the support for Muamba right now! Makes football seem meaningless when the whole community comes together like this.
nadal and fed do battle again.
When, where and how can I tune in?
Well, I'm off to bed for the night, what an emotional day of football.
See ye all in the morning, hopefully we will be in for some good news RE Fabrice.
Night
