Nah, when I reported it, there was so little Twitter activity everyone wrote it off as a hoax, even me. (Though there was the ukulele thing which kept me hanging on). Next morning all over the place. Immediate and trending was Whittingham, next morning he's alive all over the place! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"He is no longer in an induced coma and has full respiratory functions," the club said, in a statement issued in the name of Nouri's family. But it added soberly that "his condition further remains unchanged from previous updates and is stable, but with serious and permanent brain damage." Well this is a serious blow to Cancel My Appointments DDP team, but frankly I don't root for death, it will come when it will come, and I'm happy to hear he has had limited progress. That said, I think it's time for a joke: What is an Ajax fan's favourite vegetable?
