FABRICE MUAMBA (I know not Wednesday but very important)

[Orlando Trustfull]

So happy he's alive and stable, I just hope the lack of oxygen to his brain doesn't mean he'll be vegetative

All the best, Fabrice

Nice to have some positives from these horrific situations every once in a while.

Brilliant news. Breathing a huge sigh of relief here. All the medics involved are miracle workers.

What an amazing effort by the medical team - from the paramedics on the pitch to the staff at the hospital.

Amazing.

And the government want to 'slash' their wages??? lobbers, give 'em double!!!

[LJH1867OWLS]

Fantastic news!!!!!

[Guest CowshedLad]

Medical services should be commended financially by the FA. Without them, a potenial tragic situation could have occured.

With all the pressures of football, surely this has potential to increases blood pressure? which may trigger these incidents. We must remember that 'stable' doesn't mean 'fine'. If the brain is deprived of oxygen for large periods of time, there is high risk of brain damage.

Long way to go yet, but very promising news. Everyone should have a glass of wine tonight and realise how precious life is.

Best news all day.

A rollercoaster of emotions today!

[NeonLeon]

5live still chatting away don't think they know

Really feel for 'em because they're going through the mill at the minute.

They haven't got a clue.

I think they're sticking to the official line of Bolton by the sounds.

Chappers has just said they've heard nothing official aside from said statement.

Fantastic news, better news than us winning today.

Not out've the woods yet, but even if he never plays again, hopefully he'll be able to live a full life.

Great job by all the medical staff, everyone was dreading the worst.

[latemodelchild]

Hopefully the news is true. As I saw it come up on SSN I felt better than I did at full time earlier. This has put it all into perspective and even as an atheist, I've offered up a little prayer just in case.

[ChileOwl]

If it is true it is the best news we could hope for. Fingers crossed he makes a full recovery.

[Road Runner]

5live need informing....

[Guest super mandaric]

Best news of the day!!! So relieved right now :) MASSIVE well done to the fantastic medical staff out there.

[Guest wimborneowl]

I know he's not out of the woods but herd he was stable..... Crying with a smile... F***k**g fair play to the ambulance crew, Howard Webb, Bolton, tottnham fans.... Everyone who prayed for him. I'm not really religious but hopefully someone up there herd us. Life is taken for granted ... The football family has united just think how powerful and rare it is. Now let's pray for a full recovery

[Paul..]

Really like him as a player, hope he comes through this, times like this remind you what a rumbleing joke Bill Shankly's famous quote is. Come on Fabrice you can do it.

[eckington owl]

Absolutely incredible. Over the moon for the kid and hope he makes a 100% and speedy recovery.

Pretty much goes for me too.

[edmontonowl]

If the worse has happened, and let's hope it hasn't, There will be no news until his family are informed. I would keep away from unreliable sources. Just bloody foolish gossip of the worst kind. Andy Scott on Radio 5 now. Didn't realise the bloke had a history and was the head of a Charity.

That was an interesting interview.

Still nothing from 5Live almost 30 minutes after SSN reported stabilty. Has twitter struck again
