Would another thread for the midweek games not be a better idea? They're pretty much a separate round.

I thought about that but does it really matter? Ultimately they are all the same 'round' as it's all different teams playing.

 

[Robbo]

If you included the FA Cup games, some teams are playing twice though. I just didn't fancy the idea of posting about one match whilst everyone's still arguing about the previous. If you're not doing those now because simulatorman has ****ed on them, then yeah, fair enough, leave it be.

I'll leave it to the Dons to decide, they can remove the FA cup from this thread title or lock the thread simulatorman made and keep it in here. I don't mind.

 

[Robbo]

Illogic appears to have won the day.

Not really, if you look at the spread of the fixtures, I can't see it being a problem.

 

[Robbo]

How awful.

ESPN's reporter in the White Hart Lane tunnel says Fabrice Muamba was not breathing when the Bolton midfielder was carried past him. Medical staff were still attempting to resuscitate him and a defibillator had been used.

If this was the case he'd been gone for a few minutes then, which isn't very good news at all.

 

[Robbo]

Mates cousin is up there and have heard didn't make it

Yeah, I think we'll wait.

 

[Robbo]

Official status as of a few minutes ago:

Bolton Wanderers can confirm that Fabrice Muamba has been taken to hospital following his collapse at White Hart Lane this evening during the FA Cup quarter-final.

There is no further information at this stage.

 

[Robbo]

It's being tweeted that Muamba is breathing again. Obviously not official news though.

That's hardly even worth posting to be honest.

 

[Robbo]

Very good news.

 

[Robbo]

Why does it bother you so much?

The "smaller clubs", as well as the "bigger" clubs have their own forums scattered all over the place for discussing just them.

This is a computer hardware forum first, a whatever forum next. In the grand scale of things, a small percentage of the overall user base use the football forum so you're going to have most of the armchair/people who support the 'top 4/5' teams.

If people want to discuss other teams besides the top 4/5, there are places people can go to JUST discuss their team. Obviously the top teams will be discussed more...exciting players, bigger games etc.

I do mean the above in the nicest way and i am genuinely interested in what you think.

He's just trying to annoy people. Ignore him.

 

[Robbo]

That was too close.

 

[Robbo]

0-1, Evans!

 

[Robbo]

Zubar off! Wolves down to 10.

 

[Robbo]

Come on Welbeck, show some ability you useless gimp.

 

[Robbo]

Magical goal from Valencia. Superb. 0-2.

 

[Robbo]

There we go, well done Welbeck! 0-3.

Valencia is bossing this game. Bossing it.

 

[Robbo]

All part of the plan.

Indeed, be a good game to give him 45 mins.

Agreed, let's see what he can do.

 

[Robbo]

Fantastic work there lads.

Pigeon attempt #1: success.

 

[Robbo]

0-4, Hernandez.

 

[Robbo]

Pog time.
