Fabrice Muamba

Really hope he pulls through somehow. How tragic.

Amazing that Muamba seems to be making some kind of recovery. Listening to 5 Live on my way back to Cornwall after the game on Saturday, many of those interviewed were already talking about him in the past tense. A Premier League match is probably one of the best places to have a heart attack in terms of quickness of treatment.

Spare a thought also for Kilmarnock's Liam Kelly whose Dad died of a heart attack watching him win the Scottish League Cup Final against Celtic. The best and worst moments of his life only minutes apart. Both of these incidents put football into perspective somewhat.

Horribly similar to 2004 when the drummer from Muse's dad died of a heart attack while watching his son headline the main stage at Glastonbury. Very tragic indeed.

It is remarkable about Muamba and his recovery an amazing job all round if he comes through with as little damage as possible.

Was that applause really appropriate?

Would we have been applauding a lower league player in a similar circumstance, whom hadn't been tracked by the media?

Of course, it'll be great for Muamba and his family if he makes a full and speedy recovery

For me just because a lower league player theoretically would wrongly not be recognised doesn't mean it was inappropriate for a prem player to be recognised.

Actually, we and other lower league clubs probably would have done, though whether Bolton and Spurs and their Premier colleagues would have done likewise is a different matter.....

Dead for 72 minutes, yet completely coherent when he woke up, does defy belief doesn't it?

Someone or something was definately shining on him that's for sure. Interesting interviews with the Bolton club doctor and the cardiologist who rushed onto the pitch on the BBC Website as well. Even they seem somewhat amazed at his speedy recovery.

Exactly, I agree TT, I've just been saying the same. The continued reaction is totally out of perspective and feels somewhat uncomfortable.

Coyle mentioned that Muamba might be watching MOTD, in his post match interview. If so, the poor chap must be thinking he really did die and is now looking down on all that he left behind.

...will be interesting to see what level of national outpouring of emotion grief we will see following the news concerning Villa's Stylian Petrov....
