African & Asian Cup of Nations 2015

I see it potentially affecting Palace & Newcastle more than the Saints.

Perhaps. Could be the difference in Southampton getting top 4. Could be the difference in Palace staying up or not. Newcastle will probably finish somewhere mid table either way.

Swansea are losing two of their better players as well. Bit bizarre Song didn't get selected for Cameroon.

Mane's out injured.

Yoshida is on the fringe of first eleven and Mayuka barely plays at all.

Song may or may not be included in Cameroon squad according to Big Sam. Yes travelled to meet up with squad but doesn't know if he will be included in tournament squad.

Well that's that then Alex Song has announced his immediate retirement from international football.

What's the answer?

3 is the magic number.

Teodoro Obiang Nguema, president of the Guinea is a generous man.

He’s bought 40,000 tickets with his own money for the ANC hosted by his country and gives them to the poorest people.

He wants to fill stadiums and help the poorest people to have a little bit of good time.

Tickets cost 500FCFA (75 cents). He’s basically spending 30,000 euros.

He’s also encouraging other leaders to follow the example and splash some of their money.
