Wednesday saw the draw conducted for the 2017 African Nations Cup Finals, which takes place in Gabon between January 14th and February 2nd next year.

 

Up to four current Magpies* are in line for selection, with DR Congo (Chancel Mbemba) drawn in the same group as Morocco (Achraf Lazaar).

 

Ghana (Christian Atsu) and Senegal (Momo Diame) meanwhile have been kept apart:

 

A: Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Cameroon, Burkina Faso

B: Algeria, Zimbabwe, Tunisia, Senegal

C: Ivory Coast, Togo, DR Congo, Morocco

D: Uganda, Ghana, Egypt, Mali

 

* Cheick Tiote's last Ivory Coast cap was in 2015.

Might be one for the unpopular opinions thread, but I really like Roy Keane as a pundit. He's one of the very few interesting pundits out there, imo.

He's a cantankerous contrarian imo. Last night he was asking what the game is coming to because Schmeichel celebrated a last minute save to preserve Leicester's win, I don't think he's putting it on or anything, but he's a miserable prick imo. Rio is the pundit of the moment for me.

Yep.  He is always miserable, looks for the negatives, makes sure he comes across as a hard man and is just needlessly down on everything.  A poor man's Gary Birtles, if you will.

Keane is a miserable boring wanker imo. I never thought I'd grow tired of someone contradicting Dumbfuck Lee Dixon but I actually have, he's shite.

 

Best pundits at the moment are Rio, Souness and Gullit. Which means Rio will be a shit manager if he ever strays that way.

Can't deal with Souness.  Clearly knows his stuff.  But if NUFC are ever involved, the bitterness just comes oozing out of him and he talks utter shit.  Such a dour prick, too. 

 

You would think Gullit would perhaps be a bit bitter, as well.  But he is far more balanced and enjoyable to watch.

I don't get why Souness is seen as a decent pundit tbh. He likes or dislikes things, but I've never noticed him saying anything insightful. It might just be me.
