Gemmill 62983 Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 That's top level behind the scenes work from Ross "Kofi Annan" Wilson, I assume btw. To reach this agreement with DR Congo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 62983 Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 Was watching Shearer talk about this earlier and he was saying they would all likely be granted leave to stay for that game. I think the first game isn't til the 20th or 21st of something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack 15513 Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 Ah well, we'll just gave to humble their strongest team, as it should be tbh. CT drowning in piss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta hold my hands up here, I really didn't think he'd be skipping the AFCON in order to play for us. I did expect that he'd have had some minutes for us by then mind you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt there will be a decent amount of moaning from Man United fans, as they play Bournemouth on Monday 15th. Fingers crossed the Mackem players have got their Gucci suitcases packed and are checked out for the 14th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
