Stiliyan Petrov

can't wait to see the new Red Issue front page

Prime of life, top flight athlete, gets a little fever and is told - leukemia. Can you even imagine how horrible that is? He would have been expecting a virus at worst.

Awful news- only told himself at lunchtime - very quick to become public knowledge.

Isnt that a pic of Fletch's last game for us?

Some of the questions McLeish got asked :shakehead:

"Will you speak to the players, and ask them to do it for Petrov" etc.

Using a illness as motivation.

louis saha has tweeted to "pray4petrov"

no, really, he has!

God made leukaemia. God made Petrov.

God made Petrov get leukemia.



#Pray to one of the other gods for Petrov.

Dubious thelogy here.

Come out swingin' petrov and all the best son.

Villa confirm that at petrovs request, the Chelsea game will not be called off.

Was it ever in £#%&!ing doubt ffs

Just read that when he first went to Celtic and couldn't speak much English, he worked in a friend's burger van after training to learn more quickly. Not typical footballer behavior and you have to admire that.

A footballer in a burger van after training? Sounds like Anderson to me...

You aint gunna be learning much English there.

by there i mean Scotland, not the burger van.

First, pasty faced skirt wearer McFletch, then a refugee from the Congo and now a root vegetable eating former Communist.

As a red blooded Englishman with the legends of the Crusades coursing through my very being - proud and true, I ask thee one vital question? When oh when am I going to get to grieve for a sickly yeoman footballer of Albion, of this sceptred land, this Jerusalem, a stout midfielder (or preferably a Chelsea centre half), a carrier of water, broad of arm and strong of heart? Or er... not as the case may be.

Bloody hell, it isn't raining but pouring at the moment

Poor sod, wish him the best.

I see United still haven't tweeted their support.

Petrip

I rated him before lukemia.

What the prognosis? Seems like there a lot more cancer going about these days.

Oh ffs. Cue more mawkish protracted grief contests and every £#%&!er exaggerating how good he is, when one week earlier they would've been screaming CUUUNT down his soon-to-be-infected ear hole as he has the audacity to take a corner. Ugh, I hate it. why does everything bad happen to me?......oh and good luck, Stylian. Hope you pull through.
