Patrick Vieira, not only was he our inspirational leader and captain but he was the soul of the team as he led by example and I don't care what Arsene Wenger or David Dein say to justify their STUP!D actions because they should've never allowed our captain to leave. i know one man doesn't make a team but it's totally different when we are talking about Vieira who in my opinion is simply irreplaceable and I am totally convinced we will suffer the consequence in the coming season. We might buy a quality midfielder to "replace" him but the million shilling question is can any midfielder out there fill the void left by the best defensive midfielder in the world? and how long would it be before that midfielder adjusts to life in the premiership and the Arsenal's style of play ? How long will it be before our current squad accepts life without their leader and to some mentor and forget about relying on Patrick Vieira everytime we gave the ball away cheaply? They are talking about Mohammed Diarra from Mali who plays for Lyon but without being disrespectful to my fellow African brother he is millions of miles away from Vieira and we can't afford Michael Essien as the interest of Chelsea in him means we have to sell Henry to afford him. I hope I'm not speaking out of disappointment and frustration but I believe our challenge for the title is gone to Turin with Patrick Vieira and I hope Henry and Co will prove me wrong starting with the game against Newcastle in Highbury on 13th August. PS. what am I going to do with my new Arsenal jersey with my favourite player's name on it?I am totally in shock to be honest and pardon me if I let my disappointment get the better of me..I would like to hear what my fellow gunners make out of this huge & costly SETBACK. Peace,Love & Unity.

Lexus... mmhhhh let me see... She is fun and free spirited and I like her "the devilmaycare" kind of attitude which makes her one of my fav nomads. Peace,Love & Unity.

Yours Truly. Children Of Somalia. Oooohhhh Peace,Love & Unity.

Brother..i did just that hours ago and i am still waiting for her to reply..so i will let you all know her latest condition Insha Allah...but i pray we find some one who knows her personally Insha Allah. Peace,Love & Unity.

Brother Baashi, I can't exactly confirm how serious she is but the person who sent me the e-mail said her condition remains "Very Critical" and she went on to say that she sent an e-mail to all the people in her (Diamante) msn list. There must be at least some one among us who knows Diamante personally so I think those of you in London get on the phone and start calling people and find out about her please. Thanks in advance. Peace,Love & Unity.

Salama Caleykum, I just received an e-mail from someone who said was our dear friend Diamante's cousin and unfortunately Diamante is said to be among those who got hurt and her condition is very critical so please make dua for her and I urge those of you in London to find out about her conditions and pay her a visit at the hospital Insha Allah. Allah (s.w) caafimaad ha siyo walasheen Diamante Insha Allah. Peace,Love & Unity.

Viking, What can I say Bro...it was simply MAGIC and I believe its also good for the game to see Brazil allowed to play their natural and free flowing attacking game..but I was expecting a bruising encounter because, to be honest..we all know how dirty Argentina plays whenever they meet Brazil as there is no other way they can ever stop the dancing feet of the samba boys... in fact I told my friends that either Ronaldinho or Adriano (if not both) might be sent off after being provoked by Heinze or Coloccini and Ronaldinho was lucky to avoid red card after he deliberately elbowed Colloccini (right in the face and in front of the ref) who in my opinion is the dirtiest player I have ever seen and I think you will all agree with me when I say he should've been sent off after he punched that poor Mexican player and left him needing few stitches on the head. (Viking, I can't believe Coloccini is an AC Milan player...what happened to Rossoneri's philosophy of the Beautiful Game?) you are right on Venus playing her best game ever because you could tell in her post match celebration that she wasn't expecting to beat Sharapova..it was a DARK DAY for me and Rokko..i can tell you that. Rokko, LooooL@Poster...waraa why are you revealing our "little secret"? I thought we agreed on not to say a word about our obsession for Maria but since you already spilled the beans I guess its only fair that I should let the whole world know that we had a secret meeting somewhere in the outback of Australia where we tossed a coin on who will stalk her at Wimbledon and I won the toss and you had to settle for the second best and wait for your turn in NY at U.S Open but guess who I met in her locker room trying to nick her GOLD shoes? SoMa_InC..Yep..who confessed to me that he is the latest stalker of Serena Williams..loool. Northerner don't worry Bro I know you and Viking are happily married so I wont go there as I am NOT a marriage wrecker. Peace,Love & Unity.

Lexus...1 Luv. DeadlyVision...Nice 1 Bro. New faces with the same skin tone equal race...only one mentor to depend on everything is perfect...plenty of affection all created as one...no room for imperfection all types get along...no explicit name callings no killing...there shall be no crime solving new constitution...amendments and laws everyone is legit...no one's ugly...no flaws no orphans...every child is happy,safe & satisfied no unemployment....no hunger and poverty no looking for jobs in the classifieds no wars...no fatalities and no system no crimes being committed and no prisons wealth is high in all areas many happy communities no gangs and politics everyone joins hands in unity that is my Dream for PERFECT WORLD. Peace,Love & Unity.

Fan Mail wouldn't be so fan without a hate mail. He calls not my name but calls me names his angry words would over flow river Thames to reason with my Somali brother is what I try he ignores my pleas that made the lonely widow cry my demise is what he's seeking without a reason he put my soul on trial charged with treason noble is all I dream to be while remaining humble what good will it do for his soul to see me tumble? hasn't he witnessed enough Somali brothers crumble? curse me with death instead of praying for my failure let me live brother and let there be no death between us let there be no reason for you to spill my blood we both hail from the land where the flowers bleed where it's a blessing to be born dead than die young i teach to end our Somali mothers' endless mourning you preach to increase their nightly tears that form rivers in the morning my brother save me from the wrath of your ego listen to the saint in you rather than the sinner's echo let live and let there be love and with that I leave. Peace,Love & Unity.

Another One... :rolleyes: From A Secret Admirer.. Dear BOB, Time to go and you leave me taking pieces of me without care you captivate me by your ability to hurt me with a simple word..BYE you're gone and now i feel lonely almost dead in emotion and presence facial expression changed voice toned down...almost to a whisper please don't go BOB...I'm lost and stumbling in the darkness like a blind child feeling my way through the world with simple thoughts of your touch i don't hate you but i despise you for taking yourself away from me you don't know your importance or fail to realize my want in touch with my pain when your name comes into play knowing that we parted forever and gone our separate ways i begged you to stay but you left me hurting me on purpose my soul is burning...bleeding and yearning for you your painful teaching I'm learning these emotional scars that I'm earning I'd slit my own wrists if it meant keeping you where you sit which is right in the bottom of my innocent heart it all began when you slipped out of my life for a moment's notice you can't own this or take it...my pains borrowed to me by you every time you exit its like i get it and it feels so brand new the pain is immense no words can properly extend the intent I'd cement your resent if i knew it was truthful and genuine except one little word i fear and hate with a passion of death Goodbye should be the last words i hear before your last breath how can an admiration change into a love so soon?. You Tell Me..My "Secret Admirer"... Peace,Love & Unity.

a letter I received from a "Fan" and this is what she wrote. She said she wanted to trace the footprints of this stranger through my spoken word displayed her admiration for my lyrical insight her soul lighted by the eminent mind's switch which determines the voltage of my speaking leaking through my lip's script flips me from my tip rip into my sense of hearing and feeling steering knowledge in forms of bliss crisp sounds of her polite and soft speech reach the cement on which my mind treads heads for the bed of my thoughts and secrets she says finesse is seeping through my lyrics words couldn't permanently stain their merit inherit my views,read my news and get my clues fused into a track of emotions like blues lost herself in the verses and phrases of this stranger through his wordplay spare me an empty page with in your heart i shall use my thoughts to brighten up her days set her soul free with the words that seep from my mind trust my pen of joy to bring calmness after the storm. Peace,Love & Unity.

To us it's just a pain but to mothers it's Love because Mothers are Love and when it comes to Love it's a universal thing with its own language and anybody and everybody can understand and relate to it because we are all the sons and daughters of mothers so may Allah (s.w) keep yours and the rest of the nomad's Moms in good health and save Insha Allah. Nice 1 Bro. Peace,Love & Unity.

Nice 1 my sister Najma. Peace,Love & Unity.

I dream of a life without pain and sorrow a life where we know there's a better tomorrow empty and misery will be feelings of the past where nobody comes in first or finishes last a life of hope and a life where time prevails life with no need of any information or any details money is not a need and everyone can read a life where the handicap by themselves can feed a life I can trust,a life filled wit love and not lust life that eats away at happiness without any rust nobody will cuss and fuss,grudges will never be seen a child be born with a fate that hasn't been sealed a life where every broken heart will he healed by the magical touch in Allah's fingertips a life where Somali children will be born in peace no parent will bury their infants piece by piece a life where my people will unite in the name of Allah (s.w) no more denying each other and share whatever we got a life where the homeless will own thousands of rooms where young Somali brides grow old with their chosen grooms in my dream I see my people loving themselves more putting Allah (s.w) first before their deceiving false pride i dream of a life where we bury our hate instead of our sons when I finally find true love I shall spread it in tons life shows me this place in my mind's space when I dream. Peace,Love & Unity.

Northerner, we all know that the Ashes belong to the Aussies while England is the daily bread of Australia in any sport other than Football (forget about the fluke and one off win in the Rugby W.C Final) and for Golf don't tell me your favourite Golfer is Tiger Woods because it seems every person I come across is somehow Wood's number one fan, I once was when he was "the undisputed" king of Golf but now I am afraid everybody finally figured out how to beat him including a certain Michael Campbell, a kiwi of all people. What a disaster and heartbreaking it was to witness the elimination of MY Maria Sharapova by Venus Williams. I am gutted and before the match I told a friend I wont watch the final if she lost (i really really believed Venus will be thrashed because Maria never lost to her)and now that she has, I must keep my word...besides what kind of final will it be when we all know that both Muresmo and Davenport have a lousy head to head record against the Williams sisters..as far as i am concerned its Venus' Wimbledon plus the fat cheque to LOSE. PS. Brazil...it must be the easiest game they've ever played against Argentina..4-1 win over your fiercest isn't a THRASHING..that is called MAULING ..and I LOVED IT...bloody Argentina with their bloody dirty antics and rough tactics...Goofy Genius, You Are The Man . Peace,Love & Unity.

as we all know tomorrow (Friday) is July 1st which means every Somali soul old or young, male or female wherever they may be will and should be celebrating our independence day and I would like to take this opportunity and wish all my fellow Somali brothers and sisters "A Happy 45th Gobonimo Day". To be Somali is to be born in a country of riches a beautiful land rich in history and tradition a land rich in natural resources and grace being Somali is to take pride in the country of greats to look up at the mountains and at the vastness of the sea the rivers, the valleys and the deserts and feel a deep sense of belonging its in preserving the spirit of Soomaalinimo in the respectful co-existence of one nation made out of one race called Somali in letting our neighbours into our household to share in the warmth of the fires in our homes it is remembering the child next door might go to bed hungry a fellow Somali and never a stranger might need a helping hand it is in the offering refuge to the downtrodden in working towards preserving our beautiful motherland to leave a legacy for our unborn Somali children it is in the knowledge that our forefathers sacrificed their lives so me and you would be the heirs to this beautiful & blessed land being Somali means being true to your fellow Somali people through good & bad, in adversity and prosperity being Somali means not looking down on your people it means helping them back up on their strong feet being Somali means always giving others credit that’s rightfully theirs being Somali means not waiting in hope for things to happen rather, a Somali makes things happen for him and her when there is not much else he or she can do a Somali comes and shares his/her bread with you and sometimes even shares your burdens and sorrows too being Somali means putting character above wealth they value other's thoughts and feelings being Somali means being able to bear our struggles with pride it means to be proud of our roots, our heritage of our land it means to rise above adversity and above the war above famine and poverty and hold our heads up high because you know as much as I do that WE BELONG. WE ARE SOMALI and PROUD OF IT. May God Bless Somalia & My Beloved Somali People. Peace,Love & Unity.
