Muamba Progressing Well | Stoke at Home
Good morning, people of Earth.
First and foremost, just splendid to hear that young Fabrice Muamba’s condition has improved significantly over the last 48 hours. As Owen Coyle quite rightly insisted, it’s still very much early days for the 23-year old midfielder, but hugely encouraging nonetheless. The bright green shoots of recovery:
“It is a great sign but I must stress that this is still very early in the process. The doctors have stressed that point so that we all know what is involved.
“Fabrice has still got a long way to go but it is encouraging signs and whilst that is the case it is very positive and we move forward from that point.”
Keep fighting the good fight, Fabrice. Keep on fighting the good fight.
Getting Back on The Bike
Redknapp talked of a buoyed atmosphere in the camp yesterday- after news had filtered through of Muamba’s steady progress. You needn’t be a body-language expert to see that the players of both sides were profoundly distressed by the events of Saturday night; Van der Vaart called it the lowest point of his career and I’m certain that would be the case for most of those players in attendance. It’s not the sort of thing you can just brush off with a strong cup of tea and a good night’s sleep. As ‘Arry said, you can’t get the lad out of your mind.
As tricky and as trivial it sounds, then, that’s the task ahead for the chaps of Hotspur tonight. It’s just silly old football in the grand scheme of things- not life or death- but the World doth turn perpetually and Stoke will be in residence.
Let’s not downplay the events of the last few days, of course, but it would thaw the soul somewhat if the atmosphere at The Lane tonight was on the good side of lively. Two sets of fans getting behind two sets of teams, playing football the right(ish) way. I’ve been there when Stoke’ve been in town and they’re certainly a vociferous bunch. Oh and three points would be just dandy. Rock and roll.
