So people should do what they wish to on Saturday, should the game be on. If making a mosaic fills you with comfort, then fine. If you want to sing yourself hoarse then be my guest. If you want to sit with your hands clasped and speak a prayer then that is great too. We shouldn't beat ourselves with a stick over this, because in times like this it's best to let people get through it in their way, staff and fans alike.

We all want Fab to get better, so let's not bother disagreeing over which path to take to show this.

Sage words indeed, Verbal. :oyea:

who's making the mosaic? that sounds cool!!

Quick, get me Turkey on the phone.

Also, the first 2 paragraphs of the skippers' wife's article in the Independent.

This is a genuine quote.

"Bolton, a town 10 miles north west of Manchester, has a population of 263,700 and is my family's adopted home. Almost every Boltonian, most notably Vernon Kay, is extremely proud of what Bolton Wanderers has achieved since climbing to Premier league status in 2001"

1) What has Vernon Kay got to do with it? he's not mentioned anywhere else in the article, nor is there any quote attributed to him. (I think it's just a 'yes, me and Vernon are friends, he's famous you know)

2) Bolton has been proud of Bolton Wanderers since 1877, not since 2001.

===========================================

I will add, though, that Coyle, Gartside and Davies have been excellent throughout this. They've been quiet, respectful and dignified. Which is more than a lot.

I read the article as well and thought along similar lines but I'll save it for when Fabs better

I have been thinking if I should do some t-shirts, but have been changing my mind all the tike as I don't want people to think I'm trying to "cash in".

If I did do them then I think I would do the same in did for the SKD ones and charge £15 with profits being donated to a charity.

There was a sporting heart type charity I've seen mentioned several times. Would seem sensible Keveh, as much as I like our captains own charity...

I'd have one, Kev.

How about ' i (red heart shape) Muamba'
As in the classic I love NY tshirt with the big red heart in place of the word love.
Works on a couple of levels!

Just, "Go Muamba" would be much less sugary and continuous for his recovery, imo.

Perhaps ''Team Muamba'' ?

I'll have one anyway.

Please no... I can't stand any of this "Team (Insert famous persons name)" stuff.

No offence

None taken. Although quintissentially American I think it portrays a spirit of togetherness that has been prevalent over the past few days. It may also mean non-BWFC people may purchase it without displaying an allegiance to our team.

Anyway........

I just relate it to teenagers with

"Team Belieber" or "Team OneDirection" etc..

And on that we agree.

Fighting Fab
Fighting For Fab
Supporting Fab
Fabtastic (thought I'd throw a cheesy one in)

I'm not sure, need something quite generic.

"Muamba .... Simply Heart Stopping"

or a-la Vinny Jones "Stayin' Alive"

The consultant's quote "I hear you're a good footballer" - "I Try" would work too.

Though, done as in the New York City ones, I like "I (heart) Muamba"
