They have made the African Cup of Nations final again.
Hopefully they can actually win it this time

"They have made the African Cup of Nations final again."

And that benefits city how ?

Surely it would be much better for the club , if they were knocked out at the earliest opportunity ?
or better still stop buying players that are going to go missing for two months on top of normal internationals
or if the competition was scrapped altogether

Once they made the semi finals I hoped they'd win it since if they lost I guess they would still play in the 3rd place playoff. Internationals apart from the world cup and the Euros don't do much for me either.
I don't know about scrapping it but it should be held every 4 years.

I'm sure it could quite easily be argued that two top class players coming back having won an international tournament will boost the squad mentally, but I can't be bothered.

It is a pain in the arse, but it's one month every two years. Calling for an international tournament to be scrapped because some bloke who likes collecting torches and reading about coal is a bit much.

Well i'd have thought some lefty stalker would agree with opening a few more pits ?
My first thought was you made a constructive comment , but obviously not
As if the African football federation would scrap their flagship tournament on my say so . Really? get real !
and as for the players one is lazy anyway so he will be tired , and the other is yet an unknown quantity as a City player
and as for boosting the squad ? losing matches and being knocked out of the FA cup because they are off on a jolly will hardly boost moral
but I suppose they can always turn round at the end of the season and tell the squad "Hey at least we won something"

If you're not a fan of people replying to your posts then you should probably retire from the interweb.

Not sure what a opening more mines has to do with your torch collection.

Swiss · February 05, 2015, 20:40:59

Mention coal mines to a northerner and all hell breaks loose!

I don't know why people take offence to comments on the net...

Still, looks like Ghana are going through too

The Blue Blooded Maniac · February 05, 2015, 22:20:27

Well they were before it kicked off. So to speak.

Because they are not torches ?
Flame safety lamps , or Davy lamps to the layman, some are very valuable investments worth tens of thousands of pounds

Lekos · February 06, 2015, 20:40:03

Lamp / torch. Let's not split hairs.
