Thoughts are with him. My immediate reaction was that this sounds calculated, wonder if he owed someone some money or something

Geezer arrestred for attempted murder. Currently in a "serious but stable condition".

West Ham United footballer Calum Davenport is having surgery on both legs after he and his mother were stabbed, his spokesman has said.

Mr Davenport, 26, and his mother are both in a serious condition after being stabbed at their home in Bedford.

Police said the attack happened late on Friday. West Ham said its thoughts were with the player and his family.

The defender and former England under-21 joined West Ham from Tottenham for £3m in 2007.

He had a spell on loan for Sunderland last season and also played for Coventry City.

A West Ham spokesman said: "The club's medical team are in contact with hospital staff.

"The thoughts of everyone at West Ham are with Calum and his family and, due to the on-going investigation, no further information will be released."

oxf*rd me, a bloke is repeatedly stabbed and this is your response?

I'm normally in 'your camp' when Spaccy and Royalee are having a pop at you but that is the most moronic thing that I have ever read on HNA? and that is no mean feat. Possible exception of Floyd's 'Dignity in Death' post, but it's pretty oxf*rd close.

sounds pretty horrific

Doctors are fighting to save the left leg of West Ham defender Calum Davenport after he was stabbed several times by thugs yesterday morning, while relatives have said that he will never play football again.

The 26-year-old Davenport and his mother Kim, 49, were both attacked outside their homes in Springfield Avenue, Bedford at 5am yesterday morning. Calum was stabbed several times in both legs and was rushed to hospital along with his mother.

A main artery in Calum’s left leg was severed, causing him to lose pints of blood, and he was forced to undergo emergency surgery yesterday as doctors battled not only to save his leg but also his life.

it has been suggested that Calum was involved in a family row shortly before the incident and that he had told his sister Cara, 28, who was also at the house at the time of the attack, that he "didn’t like the crowd she was mixing with”.

Without meaning to stick up for Jay, there's been much worse shit on this forum in regards to people's misfortunes. Even in death. And this is the one you choose to slate.

Good work.

CD didn't like his sisters' gypsy boyfriend so told her to leave him. She then told her boyfriend who went round with the intention of ending his career

That's true.
I remember there was one kid (presumably teenager) who posted a wonderful poem on here about how he felt when at the stadium with others. Then some users (I forget which) responded labeling him a total gayer.
So this kid is found dead in a park later, and there's a thread on that on the forums, and some people post that poem again.
Guess what happens? Same thing again, "gayer gayer" bla bla bla.
Of course this has long since been deleted off the forums, but I remember that occasion with a sour distaste, and I was honestly disappointed by the persons who posted these awful posts at the time.

ps. If someone still has the poem please do post it again. It was nice.

I don't remember that. Especially as that kid was the son of a very well respect nobber.

Old friend of mine. As I recall, everyone did a u-turn on that poem once he was found dead. The tribute thread descended into farce when people posted 'original reactions' alongside the condolence messages from certain posters and asking them what had changed.

Disgraceful. And yes, I maybe overreacted to Jay's post, but it just seems odd that a fella was fighting for his life and the initial thought the collapse of an impending transfer.

What transfer? Blades...knifes. Blunt enough for ya? To the point? Anyway, he isn't fighting for his life. He may never play football again though, which is a shame.

[Super Kevin Bremner!]

What I find incredibly insensitive is the thick twat about two or three posts in speculating that as he seems to have been targeted it must be because he owes gangland some money. That is bang out of order. The guys lying with his fcking career in tatters and some fcking moron decides it must be his own fault.

[Super Kevin Bremner!]

Yateley Royal AND Ideal are the twats in question for the record.
