It's official: The Cranes will face defending champions Zambia for a place at the 2013 Nations Cup but the junkies are divided on our chances...

Lumu: Let me take a quick poll here; will we go through or we are as good as out?

Madoi: On current form and preparations, we are out. But things could change between now and match day

Sebugwawo: Out with a capital O. No doubt about it and we shouldn't even waste our time on such an obvious subject.

Vianney: It's a tricky one but it will be a tall order to go through

Lumu: Answer in or out

Vianney: hmmm...out

Mugalu: Definitely in.

Eupal: We are in

Kabuye: We are in and out at the same time depending on who qualifies for the Nations Cup. Not so?

Mugalu: We are sorry Kabuye, this is not a discussion for dwarfs with huge shoes

Kabuye: Rather be a dwarf than have a glittering head

Mugalu: Go slow young man...you may find yourself grasping for breath

Madoi: Eh eh...you are diverting us into personal wars

Eupal: But how come this Lumu joker hasn't given his take?

Lumu: The first leg will decide whether we are in or out but of the 15 possible options, Zambia ranked eighth on my priority list. So I can say we are in

Sebugwawo: I don't know whether I should classify Lumu's sloppy comments as wishful thinking, day dreaming or utter naivety of Zambia as a football powerhouse

Mugalu: My friend Bugos, that kind of attitude won't endear you to any serious per...

Sebugwawo: I'm not your friend first of all...you are just a workmate and I'm entitled to my opinion

Vianney: So will you be cheering Zambia at Namboole Mr Bugos?

Sebugwawo: If Ugandans can support Zsamboki against Golola, why not me?

Eupal: I want Uganda to go through but I will also want my idol Kalusha Bwalya to have a good game. Is he still the captain?

Madoi: Someone needs to call Butabika now. There is an emergency here.
