Monkey Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Aston Villa have announced that Petrov has Leukemia. He was playing against Arsenal only last weekend! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17566188 Link to comment
Jonty Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Really tragic story and feel sorry for the man. However just watch the Celtic fans on Saturday wallow in this. C4nts. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 PRAY4PETROV Not even kidding that's trending in UK. Link to comment
Henry Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 FFS, I was taking the piss. No doubt 'the football community will come together at this difficult time'. Cue Villa fans desperately looking out cardboard and streamers for a display to 'show their support for Petrov', as well as interminable chanting of STIL-IAN-PET-ROV, at the game tomorrow.

GK55 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Bad news for him....hope he gets better soon. Link to comment
tup Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 For some reason I knew before I opened this thread that it would be in relation to a serious illness. Premonition, spooky. This is as sad as the news that every other person who has a serious illness has to cope with, I'm praying for each and every one of them, even though I'll be guilt tripped into putting Petrov on a serious illness pedestal shortly, meantime, I'm just shocked and saddened that people get ill at all, needless.

The Boofon Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 For some reason I knew before I opened this thread that it would be in relation to a serious illness. Premonition, spooky. Aye me too although I had a bit of a clue with the 'Diagnosed with leukemia' bit of the title. Link to comment
tup Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Aye me too although I had a bit of a clue with the 'Diagnosed with leukaemia' bit of the title. I never opened the thread. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I never opened the thread. You don't need to. The title says he's got leukemia. Link to comment
tup Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 You don't need to. The title says he's got leukemia. Right, to clarify for you, you pedantic cunt, I look at the 'latest posts' bit when I log in, I don't go into the forums. Where it disna say the cunt has leukaemia. OK? Link to comment
Karl Fletcher Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 *takes out of Fantasy Football team* Hope he recovers, horrible thing for anyone to have. Link to comment

StandFree1982 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Obviously, hope he's all right. My cousin had leukaemia so I feel for the guy, hopefully he'll pull through like my cousin did This, however, will just turn into a newpaper selling, pray for him because he's famous load of pish. Hundreds of thousands of people are diagnosed with it, but just because they aren't celebrities "we", the public, don't bat an eyelid. Makes me sick really. Link to comment

RUL Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Remember when his name was Stan? Link to comment
tup Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Remember when his name was Stan? That's because the good people of Glasgow could not pronounce Stilian. Same us Artur becomes 'Arthur' byraway, wee Peter Huistra (whose real name is Pieter), big George Albertz/Cadete etc etc. Basically they are thick as fuck. Link to comment
Ando Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Remember when his name was Stan? TWITTER REACTION Aston Villa goalkeeper Shay Given: "In shock about Stiliyan Petrov acute leukaemia but we are all here for him and his family. Please God he makes a full recovery #prayforstan." Aston Villa striker Darren Bent: "Really sad news to hear about our captain Stan Petrov. Hopefully he'll be back fighting fit soon. Thoughts are with him and his family. KTF." Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas: "Just saw the news about Stan Petrov one of the nicest guys in football! Thoughts with him and his lovely family." Link to comment

StandFree1982 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Praying may potentially have placebo effects, but certainly not for something as serious as this! Link to comment
tup Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Nobody can say for certain whether 'Pray(ing)4Muamba' made any difference. There was no non-placebo experiment with near death experience to draw comparison. So it's hard to say what effect praying has, my suspicion is none, but admittedly this has no experimental validity.

There was no non-placebo experiment with near death experience to draw comparison. So it's hard to say what effect praying has, my suspicion is none, but admittedly this has no experimental validity.Richard Dawkins talked about an experiement where they had x amount of patients having heart bypass surgery 1/4 of them were told that they would be prayed for, and they had a group of people to pray for them.1/4 of them were told that they would be prayed for, but they weren't.1/4 of them weren't told or prayed forThe final 1/4 were prayed for, but weren't told. apparently:researchers found that having people pray for heart bypass surgery patients had no effect on their recovery. In fact, patients who knew they were being prayed for had a slightly higher rate of complications. Link to comment

King Street Loon Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Whilst illness is never a good thing,any illness that is.I don't rally give a fuck.And i certainly won't be praying for him.All this faux concern and sympathy that's getting trotted out these days is boring me. Link to comment
