    Apparently ESPN are disgustingingly insensitive in their coverage, so I've heard.

    Hope he pulls through.

    Shocking news and puts everything into perspective.

    I really hope he pulls through, a real shock bearing in mind he is so young.

    :sad:Has really shook me up, brings back memories of that guy that collapsed and died in the confederations cup. I'm ashamed to say that I cannot remember his name.

    This really puts football into perspective, doesn't it?

    Such a young guy who has always struck me as very fit guy, but I guess when you use as much energy as modern day footballers do, there is always a minor risk of this happening every once in a while. I just hope he pulls through and makes a full recovery.

    What have ESPN said, Maestro?

    Only going by what a mate has told Carra, hence the word apparently.
    Just insensitive about their coverage of it and apparently Chris Waddle looked as if he was almost smiling. IF, that is the case, then that man should be sacked immediately imho.

    I know we all laugh at talkSPORT sometimes, but I've been listening all night and they have been extremely good and sensitive about this matter <ok>

    If the worst happens surely all the games scheduled for tomorrow and mid-week must be postponed.

    Sky News are reporting the hospital has said Muamba is in a stable condition.

    If true, and I have no reason to doubt a statement from the hospital, even though its been released through Sky, its absolutely fantastic news.

    Lets hope he will have no complications with his brain after not breathing for so long.

    He is stable according to SSN.

    ESPN's coverage was disgusting - the commentator (Champion?) started speculating if he was dead and comparing it to previous tragedys with Waddle stood beside him almost smirking.

    The Telegraph is reporting the same. After fearing the worst let's now hope for the best
