stevieb Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Unpopular opinion (or maybe bang on) Afcon is like the Saudi league. Teams have 2 or 3 ballers each and the rest are dogshit. It's a fucking betting minefield! 🤣 I've quite enjoyed it though. Seen about 30 mins of 5 or 6 games. They've all had some batshit drama.

I've barely seen any of it- just flicked it on today, and didn't think that much of the quality. Apart from some Tarzan-esque drumming the atmosphere was shite too.

Some bloke who missed a penalty in the other semi had the first name "Evidence". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gael Kakuta - loving random players finding their way He is literally another one of them players we had too early. Some bloke named "Evidence" is peak Afcon though.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 8 Site Supporter Share Posted February 8 They're all in the bracket of being condemned as shite whilst here. Ridrigo perhaps not quite as much, but he wasn't a regular under the stewardship of the great one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Fiorentina, Chelsea and Barcelona - I think Alonso might take it, that’s some resume. Certainly didn’t see it coming when he was with us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Casino Posted February 8 Moderators Share Posted February 8 as somebody who still says alonso couldnt defend for toffee which wasnt ideal in our team, id say hes gone much further realtive to his bolton levels than anybody else cahill was already playing for england Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyther_Matt Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 2 hours ago, green genie said: Amazed you haven’t said McAteer He’s just hoping to sneak Connor Bradley in there in a year or two 😁 I think there’s an argument for Gudjohnsen in terms of the player that arrived and ending up at Barcelona etc Cahill was already heading for the top so not much of a surprise really Alonso must be the most unlikely. A ridiculously huge turnaround for someone who was getting torn apart in the Championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomski Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I liked Alonso. He’s had a cracking career, with pinnacle playing for us. Regardless the don is Eidur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Steejay Posted February 8 Site Supporter Share Posted February 8 Alonso was great going forward when he was being covered by a world class back three. But, as suggested, he could also get ripped to bits by a second division right winger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
