LAM09 7,069 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Ivory Coast is the current champion. Egypt won three titles on the bounce (2006-2010) and failed to qualify since then. They never had the chance to defend their title and still have a undefeated record going, so I still see them as champions regardless.It's something club football has right compared to INT.

They did have the chance to defend their title; they fell at the first hurdle after failing to qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll leave it there and see you 5th Feb. [emoji106] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had their chance to defend it and lost. Lol. Each tournament has its rules, you can't randomly use CL rules for the AFCON. At the very least don't continue to call the champions when thy couldn't even manage to qualify 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why a simple joke (evident by the emoji) and an opinion is somehow the talk of this topic. Move on and worry about CONCACAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Weird, for some reason I thought this was tomorrow......and that we were playing Stoke not Egypt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFC_SLO 3 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Oh dear lord can WE PLEASE get back to the game, this threah is totaly off!!So, we are expecring a win today. No jinx. It's just how it is, we must win this poor Stoke side at home no matter what, good or bad daily form. Plus, what a huge game LIV-MANC is, for us as well. Our win + maybe a draw there and we're 8 and 9 points clear going in the 2nd half of the season. On top of that, EVERY other team has less time to prepare to the next fixture. We play today and on wednesday, Liverpool today and again on monday! Arsenal very similar. So, extra point dropping from competitors are expected, so next 2 good results may be worth more than 6 points. Plus, breaking 4rsenals rekord of 14 wins wold be just a REALLY early 2017 Christmas present. :-) Again, no jinx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickpassnmove 924 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I used to fall asleep during matches and just watch highlights or fast-forward through matches. Now the Chelsea matches wake me up and I watch every minute. Quite a change since 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for a certain period of time, besides carlo first season this has been one of the best in terms of watching. And not only that I think we are more tactical prepared then when we had carlo.

Unionjack 7,531 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Fuckin cracks me up how over such a short time Perdro has gone from being a total waste of space and not one of us giving a toss about him to wondering if we can win without him!! If the bin dippers can take them apart then we surely must be able to. And keep a clean sheet doing it. Yet again not on telly but checked and seems ok for streams so its a lovely day in the neighbourhood! Have a great game guys and shout like yoiure at the Bridge!

Play football instead of fouling ? They'll probably play with like 5 midfielders in order to press and harass Matic and Kante the whole time. I think this'll be another annoying match like the West Brom and Sunderland matches rather than a comfortable one like Bournemouth. They'll probably do all they can to frustrate and negate us rather than actually trying to play football. Guess we have to get used to seeing that this season, though.
