No I think the sooner the next round of games comes round the better for everyone concerned. I can't wait.

Whatever happens in the future Spurs and Bolton will be much closer than before. If Bolton get relegated and come back up a few years later as they often do then WHL will be a remembered ground.
I feel that the shine has been taken off this year's FA Cup though. It was an extremely sad incident and one which will take a lot of forgetting. Whether he'll be fit enough to play again except maybe after a heart transplant will be doubtful. Once a heart has had an attack it's more prone to have another so Bolton will always be a team associated with this incident.
I'd still like to to see us go through though with no excuses. I don't think that we will win the cup because our play hasn't really been all that impressive in it,we've struggled in my view to beat lower teams.
So good luck to FM and let's hope that this incident doesn't tarnish the rest of the season too much.

Hearing that he is progressing is making things a hell of a lot easier and Im sure our players will feel that too.

by the way

Fabrice, and the Muambas

what a name for a band!!

It's hard to find positives out of such situations

I try to think that pro footballers with these life-threatening conditions are in some way fortunate.

If Muamba had not been a footballer, or had he simply not been on the pitch at the time, then it's unlikely he'd have received the support he so urgently needed in time.

Likewise, Abidal's going through a very tough situation, but the chances of his liver condition being detected had he routinely undergone health checks are much slimmer; since then he's had the best possible medical follow-up.

Thats a great point, he is a lucky boy. Hes doubly lucky he couldve been out for a jog, playing wit his kid in his back garden and god only knows what wouldve happened him.

Think we all have to remember that life goes on and the guy has not died

Fire, ambulance, and police have to deal with people dying every day and have no choice but to go back the next day and do it all again

This was a terrible incident but the guy has survived and we all need to move forward, what better way than playing or watching our team play

I want the game to be replayed and i want us to give 100% in trying to beat Bolton and getting to wembley

Good luck Muamba, your doing great

Asa Hartford had a hole in his heart discovered after a medical prior to his move to Leeds which collapsed after the discovery. These footballers are indeed lucky. I echo messiah's comment itsonlyagame,excellent point.
I don't know if it's right to put the body through so much intense training because it often causes problems in later life. If you look at a lot of sportsmen once they stop they get very flabby. I refer to men like Jason Leonard who played rugby,he's a bit of a mess now and Bill Beaumont has walking problems. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a total mess since stopping weights and David Prowse was riddled with arthritis in his early fifties, All this to win trophies,medals etc is in my view excessive.

Believe me Dawn, there are a lot more people ill latter in life who have sat on their backsides and stuffed their faces..

The human body is a amazing thing but also a fragil thing that can go wrong at anytime, but its always better to be fit than a couch potato

This was a horrible incident and i am so glad that Muamba is going to be ok ( hopefully) BUT life does go on and we have some bloody important fixtures coming up for our club so although football takes 2nd priorities in situations like Saturday, right now we have concentrate on the football. I think and hope the spurs players will go all out against stoke in support of Muamba aswell as our champions league qualification status

so should we just all stop doing things in life and wait for the grim reaper to come calling

Without sport we would all be worse off and a lot unhealthier

They don't do much intense exercise in training. Living in fear of something that is unlikely to happen would be sad, Muamba was unlucky to be the 1 out of 500 I believe the stats to be.

Don I agree. The lad is recovering and the players are professionals. Should be no excuse for putting in a performance on wednesday. When trying to get over a tragic incident then what can be better than doing something you love to do?!

I'm not a big Arnie fan but how is Arnie a mess Dawn??
He's starring in Expendables 2, an action movie, and must be almost 60 or thereabouts. A lot of people that age are overweight and can't be bothered to get off their sofa

posted on 20/3/12

Dawn has lost the plot again

Do you know how many people die every day because they are overweight and do no exersize ?


I dont want the players to use this as a excuse for not performing , they have a life style the rest of us can only dream about and the guy is recovering in hospital, like i siad before doctors, nurses and police have to deal with death every day

With respect they knew what they was getting in to when it comes to those professions, you can't expect sports men and women and ya every day joe to deal with death in front of their eyes in the same way

I'm talking about excessive training and I didn't say anything about the grim reaper or couch potatoes,that's just your mistaken interpretation of what I posted Wearethefamous. As for your "Lost the plot" comment.......feck off..
Arnold's body is now a flabby mess Lobster with overhanging skin and flesh around his hips...yuch.

This is true, and it's proven. Excess physical exercise can be bad for you - maybe not as much as none at all, but it's still bad.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_exercise#Excessive_exercise

Not to mention all the health and mental health issues related to doping, but that's another matter.

Nevertheless, going down a mine every day, spraying paint in a workshop, sitting on your ar$e in front of a computer all day...I suppose almost every job or profession has it's inherent risks.
