Are you new here (by which I mean on this planet)

[Flavs]

I'm not surprise at all .

Why's that then?

[LDG]

I really like your post . Some incidents remind us we are human being and should be united . Being Human is about respect , love and care .

Hmmm. I think you're confusing Humans with another mythical species.

It is a pure naivity to think politicians are respected and liked everywhere .It depends of what image they portray in a particular place . A politician can be a hero here and a villain somewhere else .

It is just vanity . A small thing can show us how vulnerable we are . Money , fame , knowledge can be powerless and of no use at all .

At least footballs bring joy to our face . You can like them or not and it depends on circumstances . But politicians are evil . Pure criminals . They look hero and role models where people don't really know them . They are often double face and bring tears and horror in other part of the world .

No. I don't follow football that closely these days. I don't know all the players at all the clubs. I know he was on our books once but did he ever play for us? If so not often enough that he'd registered on my consciousness.

i think it feels more shocking when the bubble that is a football, an escape from the harsh realities of the world, is pierced by such an horrible event – it makes it feel even more shocking than normal

:shrug:
You never log on Arsenal website and have a look on our reserves players ? Don't you follow our young players on loan ? Come on Fabrice Muamba played with the likes of Bendtner , Larson , Wilshere , Djourou , senderos , even RVP and Fabregas when they were younger . Fabregas was on the same level as Song . Arsenal decided not to give him a chance . He was loaned to Birmingham alongside Bendtner and Larson . only Bendtner came back and I wonder if it was the right decision .

Oh right. Nah I was just surprised because he's been a regular at Bolton for a few years now, one of their first names on the team sheet.

Can't remember if he played for us but if he did it was Carling Cup at best.

[GP]

With all due respect to the lad, and it's horrible what's happened to him, but he haven't missed out on anything by letting him go.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Come on Gooners . This is about one of our boys . Even though he doesn't play for us anymore and he didn't choose to but he remains an Arsenal fan .Show some emotion at least. I'm ashamed to see Tottenham behaving in the right way for someone who has an Arsenal connection . Their fans , their players especially Defoe , Gallas and Van der vaat were fantastic . On our side just Djourou showed some concern plus a few tweets and an announcement from Arsenal website . For something which has shocked the world Arsenal should have been in front page to lead this event as it is about one of their boys . Someone they saw grow from the age of 11 . They saw his progress even though they decided not to give him a chance .It raised questions how players and fans are treated by Arsenal Football Club . Wenger should have said something to show he cares . Come Fabrice .Get a quick recovery . Get well soon .

And you know he has not how, Maybe he has contaced the family or Coyle none of know and rightyly so. RVP/Jack plus a few more tweeted they hope he was ok etc.

Its stupid to say Arsenal fans/players and the club don't care statements like that piss me off. Should we all sit at home and loose our jobs waiting for him to come round etc.

Get off your high horse fella.

Im sure the journos will ask arsene about him at the press conference and you will find out what the club have done then.

No need for us to jump on the public bandwagon of support.

This is not time to have a go at someone simply because you disagree with what they said . Arsene just post something on the Arsenal website . Just my opinion and you are not forced to share it . I was expecting Arsene to say something on TV . To show how a big club like Arsenal treat their player even after they have left the club . No one said you should lose your job for this . We all got jobs . It is about opinion mate . Please don't be narrow-minded to be pissed of with anything which doesn't please your view .

I never said that . Have I ?

You seemed unduly surprised that I'd not heard of him. Not sure why it's so inconceivable.
He played twice for us in 2005/6 in the league cup (says Wiki) then went elsewhere.
I don't follow football that closely these days. I couldn't name any members of the Bolton squad tbh.

Carefully does it. You can be tracked down and arrested if you say the wrong things about this incident. Always remember, the right to be offended and outraged now trumps the right to speech or thought and even dark (modified for the sake of political correctness) un-white not gay happy, edgy humour.

Obviously a terrible incident for the lad concerned and his family and friends, including those who know him in football. They'll support each other through this and that's how it should be. For the rest of us, I'm sure we'll get over it in about 5 seconds (or less). That's not meant to be cruel or uncaring, personally I haven't invested enough interest in this to be cruel or uncaring. It's just realistic but only a couple of people out of a hundred would have the guts to tell the truth.

All depends what you want, a hair tearing and chest thumping carnival where the name of the game is jostling to the best position at the front so every last act of insincerity gets maximum attention. Or just leave the lad and his family alone and go about your normal business. You'll quickly find the world has not come to an end or even changed.

But if it's really important to get involved, can I tempt you to rope into your thinking the hundreds of thousands of families "our boys" abroad have slaughtered? Or the millions that die each year for want of a drink of water? And so on?

Don't we demean ourselves when we single out an individual for special attention while ignoring millions who suffer at least as many life threatening (or ending) hardships, most of which are preventable and only occur so we can buy TV's on which to watch the journalists pulling out their fingernails in grief, or newspapers that scream tragedy on the front page while consigning actual tragedy (on epic scales) to the minor columns and even then spun in such a way as to make the torment seem necessary and even desirable and moral?

It's a thing of perspective.

I suppose the question is, is it illegal to be honest? Is honesty the policy best concealed?

Plainly Arsene is happy this happened. His failure to scale Everest and shout announcements with a bullhorn gives him away.

I'm not joking about Muamba, why would you say such a thing? I'm joking about the people buzzing around him who don't even know the guy. Read it again, or is that not necessary because the objective of your response is to paint a misleading picture? How can you be "pulled up" on free speech? Either you have or you don't. I'm not saying you are not permitted to run around feigning grief. I don't seek to limit your behaviour in any way, but I do reserve the right to comment on it. What's wrong with that?

In any case, I hope it makes supporters think about some of the chants that they come out with at football grounds. It happens at all clubs, whether it's about Heysel, Hillsborough, Munich, etc, or some of our supporters singing about Adebayor etc. This puts everything into perspective.

A special well done to the Spurs' fan cardiologist who I'm hearing came done from the stands at WHL to help treat Muamba. You can't put a price on that sort of quick thinking behaviour whose actions led to Fabrice's speedy admittance to the chest hospital.
