The 11 O’Clocker : The Vicarious Grief Souvenir Special

Good evening.

I’ve been weighing up the pros and cons of being more direct on this whole Muamba business for a day or two but the player’s recovery seems a near platinum clad juncture to actively lose even more readers.

Come on, you can’t have it both ways.  A self confessed hit whore [hello fans :winke:] driving his publicity vehicle into a brick wall won’t come as easy to some. A dream come true. And on a school night, I tell you! 

Unquestionably brilliant news from numerous accredited sources aplenty is that Fabrice Muamba is not only alive but he’s also doing well, but he’s beginning to laugh and joke and chatting away in several languages.

But how will this undeniably extremely brilliant news be embraced by the bleeding hearts and ‘rent-a-weep’ gang? 

My guess is the reaction to this superb news will be stifled. Nigh on non existent.Why? Bad news always travels 27 times faster than good. This is a fact that can be supported by anyone who ever waited for a rejection letter after a job interview.  But it’s not the stuff that gets even the dumbest pray mongerers in a chatty frame frame of mind.

Am I wrong? Where’s the #MedicallyQualifiedPeopleSavedHim hashtag? In fact, where is the #WePrayedHimWell hashtag? 

The time for the unthinking, pack mentality, plastic grieving of the emotionally vulnerable is over. Well, until they latch on to the next one, of course…

BIOYSCC!

    It’s no time for a knee-jerk reaction. Let’s keep calm. We got a point. We are 4 points clear of the Chavs.
    Redknapp out! Get a new man in! Now! For pity’s sake, get rid of this idiot!

    Looking good in 4th. Let’s hope Chelsea don’t do the unlikely and win the Champions League. :cwy:

    Our capitulation appears to be well underway, and the most worrying thing about this will come when the FA begin to avert their gaze from Harry.

    Levy’s bargaining tool is just looking like a tool.

    I’m sure the ready made excuse about “hard for the lads to pick themselves up after Saturday” will be trotted out.

      I think we have a winner for best sentence of the day…

      “Levy’s bargaining tool is just looking like a tool.”

      Hats off

    At this rate I stand to lose $100 to arse fans. That twat Whilshere will be tweeting at some point tonight requesting we send in our quid

  • Spurstacus says:

    We still have what looks like an easier run in. But after that shower who can tell. The only defence I can think of is there may have still been a hang over from Saturday. Maybe?

    • Smog says:

      An easier run in is all well and good, but we dont look capable of beating anyone at the moment.

      • Spurstacus says:

        Yes I agree. The confidence has gone. Harry hasn’t got the experience and know how to lift us. We are in a position we havenever been in with a manager thats never been there.
