Which teams...

[Tevez]

are going to suffer from African Nations Cup?

Portsmouth will struggle, got a feeling Everton will too with Yakubu.

[Tommeh]

But the biggest loss to any team will be this man:

[Joe.]

Portsmouth have got Diop, Benjani, Utaka, Kanu, Lauren, Traore and Muntari all going. They'll definitely suffer.

Chelsea too, they're a lot weaker without Drogba, and Essien will be a loss too.

Everton have got Yakubu, Yobo, Anichebe and Pienaar going, and they'll definitely miss that lot.

Newcastle might feel the effects too with Beye and Martins on their way.

And then there's Arsenal with Toure and Eboue from the first team.

Pompey look the worst off to me.

Also because I don't see who they are going to play.

Of the 7 you've just named, 5 or 6 of them play regularly. Ok, Mendes or Davis for Diop and Muntari, but who will replace Utaka on the wing or Kanu and Benjani? They've only got Nugent as another striker haven't they?

Interesting to see who they bring in, also interesting to see what happens to the people they bring in once the Africans return.

Arsenal are gonna suffer big time.

The partnership between Gallas and Toure is exceptional, Senderos isn't a patch on our Kolo.

Eboue isn't too bad a loss, he's been a bit patchy this season anyway (although that's probably due to being played on the right wing).

It's a good job for them that Togo didn't qualify.

Oh, and Portsmouth are gonna get shat on.

[Asha]

Do we lose anyone?

[Alexikokopops]

Do we lose anyone?

Unless Elvis makes a stunning return to the Ghanian fold I think we'll be ok.

Especially since Derek Asamoah of Shrewsbury Town is currently above him in the pecking order.

Maybe I'm being unfair on Elvis, it's probably only his ankle that's stalling his glittering international career.

I wouldn't be surprised if Djourou plays a couple while Toure is away.

Hoyte maybe

[Alexikokopops]

I wouldn't be surprised if Djourou plays a couple while Toure is away.

Of course, he's only on loan until January.

Didn't he throw the ball to Anelka for him to score the easiest goal ever a couple of weeks ago?

Not sure.

If he did what's a centre back doing taking a throw in?

[Alexikokopops]

Not sure.

I'm pretty sure the commentator said "Djourou then literally threw it away for Bolton's second", or something alond those lines.

Just had a look and "A suicidal Johan Djourou throw-in set up Anelka to double the lead before he grabbed his second in injury time."

Sack the manager.

Centre back taking a throw in, utter madness.
