One killed and nine hurt as terrorists staged an attack on Togo team bus.

Emmanuel Adebayor and his Togo squad were ambushed on a crossing at the Congo border with the province of Cabinda, the team were heading for their first match in the Africa Cup of Nations that now could well be scraped.

Emmanual Adebayor and his fellow team mate were trapped inside the bus for more than 20 minutes as sustained machine gun fire allegedly from Angolan rebel forces pinned them down.

The Man City striker escaped without injury, but the driver was killed, from reports at least 2 player s are injured. Villa?s Moustapha Salifou is one of 28 UK based player at the Africa Cup of Nations event and was visibility shocked from the ordeal, Portsmouth who have five players actively taking part in the tournament made it clear that they will be talking urgently to the FIFA and the FA about continued player safety and if players safety cannot be assured they will be recalling there players.

Chelsea have 4 players, including Drogba and Essien in the event, with the first match between Togo and Ghana kicking off tomorrow.

Asked recently about if he had any reservation about attending the Africa Cup of Nations Emmanuel Adebayor stated? We were born in Africa we know what it is about, we hope everyone comes back safely? However listen to Grenoble?s Alaixys Romao ?If we can boycott it, let?s do it, It?s not for us to be shot at because of a football match. We should go home now?.....Go home!? ....

so home is anywhere that is free from terrorist attack, well don?t live in London then...Obviously this will raise security questions and safety concerns surrounding this summer?s World Cup finals in South Africa.

Vieira at 33 signs for Man City on loan deal, however his mental health was immediately called into question when he stated that he was the one key difference that can guide Man City to the title this year ...and then said his old club Arsenal (Val you better hold Kayoko back) no longer know how to win trophies anymore.......Kayoko deep breaths now...

Vieira has been cleared for the Carling Cup Semi ? Final with Man U ...Now this won?t make a scrape of difference this time, United and Sir Alex have learnt for their last outing and have a more robust line up in defence.... as usual Man City in debt have decided to loan Vieira....a waste of time and money ....

I see Arsene Wenger has called on the Premier league to investigate any requests to postpone any fixture because of bad weather, the match between Liverpool and Spurs due to be played tomorrow was called off yesterday even after persistent requests from premier league offices as to why ...only 4 weekend premier league fixtures have survived the cold snap.

I think every team should play no matter how much snow or how cold it is, if ?nuts? get frozen players should pay more attention to Squirrels who know how to look after there ?nuts? in these arctic conditions....wrap up warm.....

Ok fair comment to Arsenal who have indeed curbed there spending on transfers in favour of player development ...humm.. especially since Eduardo seem to have started firing on all cylinders, will Wenger have faith and resist the urge to reach for the wallet .....Jury?s out on that one ...
