Is he a tinker in fair city or something?

Coleen Rooney was sent a Twitter death threat after congratulating Liverpool on their Carling Cup win.

Scouser Coleen, 25, tweeted: “Congratulations Liverpool!!!” following the penalties victory against Cardiff City on Sunday.

But Manchester United fans were furious that striker Wayne’s wife was a fan of their arch rivals.

One with the Twitter name M.U.F.C@thebrickie posted: “I used to like you and now I want all your family to burn.”

Another wrote: “Are you allowed to say things like this Coleen?!”, to which she replied: “Of course.”

Coleen told her 610,000 followers she was “brought up a Liverpool supporter”, despite Wayne’s family being Evertonians.

It comes days after Wayne, 26, agreed to fight a Kop fan who was abusive on Twitter. Coleen’s spokesman last night declined to comment.

God to Blackpool

Seen that, good for him

Important Announcement Regarding Streaming of 3pm Football

As some of you may already know the FAPL have been restricting the amount of 3pm broadcasts shown across Europe, This week the FAPL have announced that each broadcaster may only broadcast one 3pm game per week.

This presents a problem with the amount of games shown over Europe that satellite viewers will have access to. Unfortunately this will now make it almost impossible to pick up lower end of the table teams via European satellite.
The FAPL have also demanded that the broadcasters drop english commentry in favour of the native language of the broadcasting provider.

How does this effect you?

This will mean that each week we can only guarantee 1 Premier League game at 3pm.

Sometimes we may be able to show two or three 3pm Premier League games per week, however we can only guarantee one live 3pm.

This is something that we hope will be resolved with the various broadcasters and the Premier League.

It is not something we wish to do, and is completely out of our hands. We must however apologise for the obvious inconvenience this may cause.

We will of course update you in due course if and when there are any changes that we become aware of.

Regards

fuck it. i suppose there is nothing they can do about that if stations can't broadcast matches. we should be ok by the sounds of things though.

Bolton Wanderers midfielder Fabrice Muamba faces a crucial 24 hours in his fight for life, manager Owen Coyle has said.

The 23-year-old is critically ill after collapsing during an FA Cup quarter-final tie against Tottenham.

He is being treated in the intensive care unit of the heart attack centre at the London Chest Hospital.

Coyle said: "It's very serious. There's not getting away from that. God willing he makes it through."

Medics spent six minutes trying to resuscitate the former England under-21 international on the field after he fell to the ground with no other players around him.

The score was 1-1 when the match was abandoned after 41 minutes.

Coyle told Sky: "Fabrice is critically ill. The next 24 hours are going to be absolutely crucial.

"We've obviously been inundated with people wishing him well and we hope that if everybody can pray strongly tonight that Fabrice is able to recover."

The club and the hospital issued a joint statement at 2130 GMT on Saturday saying: "Bolton Wanderers can confirm that Fabrice Muamba has been admitted to The Heart Attack Centre at The London Chest Hospital where he is in a critically ill condition in intensive care.

"The club and hospital request that the media and public respect the family's privacy at this time."

Medical staff gave the former England Under-21 international mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and tried to revive him with a defibrillator.

In total six medics were treating the player, who joined Wanderers from Birmingham in 2008 and has made 148 appearances for the club.

Both sets of supporters chanted Muamba's name as he was taken off the pitch on a stretcher. ESPN, who were broadcasting the match, reported that he was not breathing as he was taken into the tunnel.

Referee Howard Webb called the visibly shaken players off the field after consultng with Coyle and Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp.

After Muamba was taken to hospital, the match was abandoned.

The former Arsenal midfielder was accompanied in the ambulance by Coyle and club captain Kevin Davies.

Football Focus presenter Dan Walker had an exchange of text messages with Davies on Saturday evening.

"Encouragingly, he [Davies] said Fabrice is showing real fight which is the best possible news," Walker said.

"Kevin says he is not giving up and he's digging in and showing a bit of battle.

"The fact they got him breathing again makes you marvel at the work these paramedics, doctors and nurses do."

Arsenal defender Johan Djourou, who played with Muamba at the Gunners, posted on Twitter that he had visited his friend in hospital.

"Just left the hospital. Love you so much man! Keep fighting. Everybody please pray for him he's an amazing man and friend."

BBC Radio 5 live's chief football reporter Ian Dennis, who was covering the game at White Hart Lane, witnessed medics rushing to aid Muamba.

"When the medical staff arrived his face was on the turf," he said.

"You could see them using a defibrillator and he was [electronically] charged on at least two occasions. Everyone could see Fabrice Muamba was fighting for his life.

"If he does pull through it will be down to the quick actions of the medics."

Soon after the incident, messages of support flooded in for the former Birmingham player.

Spurs' Rafael van der Vaart was one of those on the pitch when Muamba collapsed. He tweeted: "Terrible what happened with Muamba during the game. We're all praying for him."

England international Jack Wilshere, who played with Muamba at Bolton, wrote: "Hope Muamba is OK. Thoughts with him."

Middlesbrough defender Justin Hoyte, who played in the Arsenal youth team with Muamba, said: "I seriously hope my best friend in football is OK. Stay strong bro, please please stay strong. God is with you remember that.

Friend of Fabrice Muamba tells The Associated Press that the footballer is speaking again.

Ya, breathing on his own and moving his arms and legs

Sky Italia reporting that youth team coach Stramaccioni (who won NextGen Series yesterday) takes over.

They are getting as bad as Chelski................. I guess Capello takes over in Summer?

Chelsea interim manager Roberto Di Matteo has revealed the club are locked in talks with the FA over trying to change their FA Cup semi-final in order to help the Blues' Champions League bid.

Should Chelsea overcome Benfica in the last eight of the Champions League, a European semi-final will be the reward on April 22.

However, Chelsea are in the last four of the FA Cup and are scheduled to meet either Tottenham or Bolton only three days before, on Sunday, April 19. Victory over Benfica could come at a price - it would mean Chelsea facing nine matches in 31 days - and Di Matteo is hopeful the FA will comply and switch the FA Cup clash to a Friday night.

"We absolutely need more assistance over our fixtures as the schedule here does not help English teams in Europe," he told the Sun.

"We're engaged with the FA but ultimately someone has to make the call."


Everyone has to do it so shut up
