Get well soon Fabrice Muamba!

Words can't describe how I feel right now. An emotional wreck comes close, but it's a lot more serious than that. Hearing the news of Fabrice Muamba collapsing and ultimately fighting for his life at this very moment is soul destroying for not only anyone in the football world, but everyone outside of it as well. It really puts into perspective how unimportant football is in times like this. It's truly a sad, sad day which will most probably affect all the football fans not just in the country, but also from all round the world. Seeing him down like that motionless, attempting to be resuscitated by the clearly desperate paramedics is both frightening and shocking to see. The looks on everyone's faces also said it all, with Rafael Van der Vaart's reaction as well as Jermaine Defoe's tears clarifying that a major incident has occurred.

Muamba just before the tragic incident
Although I wasn't old enough at the time to remember, but from YouTube videos I have re-lived the moment of Marc Vivian-Foe's tragic death in 2003, and to put it frankly, I was very emotional - as I am right now. Today is an exact replica of what happened back then; however I for one am praying that he pulls through and makes a full recovery. No one likes to see these sort of things happen, and my condolences go both to his friends and family, and I hope Fabrice Muamba can pull through and make a speedy recovery. It doesn't matter who he plays for, how he plays and whether you like him or not - It's emotional for everyone and we should all wish Fabrice a full recovery. It’s a dark day in football as a whole, and I think I represent the whole football world in quoting these words, but get well soon Muamba!

BMW PGA Championship Betting Tips Last year's champion, Chris Wood *Odds provided by Sky Bet Fransesco Molinari - 14/1:  The Italian recorded four straight top nine finishes in Virginia Water between 2012 - 2015, before a T55 finish last year snapped that streak. He has been in great form recently which suggests he could record another high finish this week, having finished in a T6 at The Players Championship in his last start. Chris Wood - 33/1:  The defending champion should not be ruled out for winning the title two years in a row. In addition to his win here in 2016, he finished in a T4 in 2015 and a T21 in 2014. In his last solo start just over a month ago, he finished in a T4 at the Volvo China. At 33/1 he represents great value. Shane Lowry - 40/1:  Lowry was one of the favourites to lift the title last year, but crumbled on the first two days, leading to a disappointing missed cut. However, in the past five years before that, he had recorded...

Eastleigh 6-4 CPR All Stars

This afternoon, CPR, a team who have only played 4 games together to date, came up against an academy side who train day in, day out, week in, week out. Eastleigh, a team who's first team play in the 6th tier of English football, were the opponents for the second round of the Hampshire county cup, and on paper; were expected to smash us. The team lined up as follows: GK: Kevany LB: Barby CB: Hastings CB: Ross RB: Marsh CM: Rolt CM: Adolphous LM: Finlay RM: Stroud CF: Rice ST : McMillan Subs: Parslow, Honeywood, Nott, Dunnage The only absentee for the big game was Lloyd-Bisley, who has been ruled out for around 6 weeks with a broken foot. But his absence was covered by the returning Dunnage, who had shaken off a groin injury, and Honeywood, who was also making his first appearance since his move from Nottingham . Curley Park would've been forgiven for sitting back and absorbing pressure, but they got off to an electrifying start to break the deadlock after only 2 m...

Arsenal in talks to sell midfielder to Serie A club

Image
Lucas Torreira's time at Arsenal looks as if it is coming to an end. The Uruguayan signed for the Gunners in 2018 in a £26m move from Sampdoria. He quickly became a fan-favourite with some combative performances in the middle of the park. However, he failed to build on his promising start and was only used sparingly by Mikel Arteta at the back end of the 2019/20 season. And now, acording to Sky Sports , the Spanish manager is looking to cash in on the 24-year-old. Arsenal are reportedly in talks with Torino over a season long loan move for Torreira. The Serie A club would then have the option to make the move permanent. Torino would pay Arsenal £22m over two instalments. Fiorentina are also believed to be interested in his services. The funds acquired for selling Torreira could then go to signing a replacement. Arsenal have been linked with Atletico's Thomas Partey in the last few months. Atletico will only let the Ghanaian leave if Arsenal activate his £45m release clause. It ...
