Originally posted by $187$: BOB, I agree with what you say because it will take a crazy night for the Gunners to go through especially since Sol is gonna be out for the return leg. I still have faith that we will go through but Im still 60/40 on it but with the away goal theres always a chance. Arsenal are gonna have to defend by attacking Bayern and not let them get the ball to the attackers , but I still can't see Bayern not scoring at least one goal. By the way did you guys hear the announcer at the Olympic Stadium. Taking the piss! Let's keep our fingers crossed sxb . Did you watch the game this afternoon? We dropped two valuable points, well, some of my friends were pointing fingers at Lehman (yeah, him again) and the rest at Van Persie for getting sent off when everything was in our favour but I am rather worried about the extent of Pires's injury than those two points we dropped this afternoon. but guess what? I just watched Deprtivo beat the arrogance out of Real Madrid 2-0 but Barca dropped two points at Numancia as well so it's not only us who's finding the going tough sxb and our growing injury and suspension list isn’t helping at all but like I said before as far as we are concerned our title aspirations is truly over but watch out for our backlash next season Insha Allah. Chelsea, Man Utd & Liverpool, be scared, be very very scared because Gunners will be back bigger and hungrier than ever before. Peace, Love & Unity.

Viking, for once let's pretend to be a football analysts (that is what we are in here.. any way) rather than a critic and try to figure out what could be the reason behind Henry's problem. just think about it for a minute here and I am sure you have seen enough games where he was this devastating player that we all know he can be only when he wants to and then this player that didn't do as well as we expected him to do especially in crunch matches where you would expect him to lead the line for him team. by the way I didn't say he was less selfish when playing for France and I never ever thought even for a single moment that Henry & Kluivert were similar but I took both as an example and how many more goals they would have scored if they were bit greedy whenever they were in the 18 yard. Peace, Love & Unity.

Soma_Inc, so you think i got it wrong? . Goofy_Genius, i am glad to see that Liverpool's form hasn't had any negative effects on you. $187$, i know no Gunner will ever let me down... keep gunning for glory sxb, i am sure the promised land isn't that far off. Peace, Love & Unity.

Ms Word, i am not a poet but you know you are on my top 3 list of those I believe are in a league of their own however I fully appreciate you mentioning my name. VD, Where are the names of your 5 nominees? Peace, Love & Unity.

Raula, that was simply the most moving piece I have ever read and I mean literally and your honesty and the words you chose to use left me speechless! . I pray that you will soon be re-united with beloved Mom insha allah but in the mean time hold your head high because I am sure she loves you more than her own dear life and she is proud of you. Nice 1..once again. Peace, Love & Unity.

Bernie Mac...that punk azz from Chicago is one crazy samama b****! my all time favourite gig was Kings of Comedy with Cedric The Entertainer, Steve Harvey and DL Hughley...that stand up was crazy like a mother f.....!

it's that time of the year again where we get to expose who’s the weakest link and guys let’s be honest and keep it simple in that case it will be more fun for everybody involved and in case if you meet Anne Robinson, tell her I have no interest in her job whatsoever because I am not that evil and I can't humiliate innocent people on a national television. :cool: . Question:1 A man and his son were admitted unconscious to a local casualty (accident & emergency) department after a car accident. The casualty doctor on duty took one look at them and said although he had the skills, somebody else would have to deal with them. Why is that? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >Answer: because the Doctor was his wife. Question:2 so you can spell coke, joke and poke but how do you spell the white of an egg? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >Albumen, which is the white of an egg, you didn't think it was 'Yolk' now, did you? Question:3 Name a commonly used four-letter word ending in E-N-Y (if you find this easy it is because you wasted few good minutes looking in the dictionary or you are seeing it writing, try it some one on verbally and watch them suffer, I did.) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Answer: Deny..it if you can. Question 4: Spot error in this. There was a taxi outside a hotel,a man came out and hit the taxi driver on the head, took all the money out of the meter and started to run off only to be rugby-tackled by the door man. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Answer: the meter of a taxi does not contain any money, it is only a timer.Children living in small towns or villages without many taxis probably won't know this.lol . Question 5: When Osman was 11 his mother put him into an orphanage. True or false? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Answer: False (if he has a mother he is not technically an orphan)--->even if a kid does have a parent, I hate to say this but sometimes they still give their kids to an orphanage.because of money problems, they can't take care of the child<---this is an alternative answer given to me by a friend and it sounds reasonable. read the questions carefully: suppose you are captain of a ship and it has three red funnels and it leaves New York on a Tuesday and gets to its destination on Saturday and on the return trip reaches New York on Thursday, what is the name of the captain of the ship? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Answer: You. Try this on one person and not a group otherwise some one might just get it, believe me it's astounding that you can repeat it over and over again and your victim still wont get it. . PS. feel free to add something or anything that made you scratch your big/little head..lol. Peace, Love & Unity.

Everybody with eyes can see and knows that Henry doesn't stand up to be counted when his team really needs him most and I am sure he knows that and as much as I LOVE Titi yet I am always the first one to drop the gem on him especially when we (Arsenal) play against United now guys, let me put you all on the spot and ask you this, what do you think is the main reason behind his No-Show antics? We can't just become a typical Somali and claim he's scared, with all our knowledge of the game I think that is rubbish statement to make, he is way too talented to be marked out of the game by rubbish players like Wesbrown, Sylvestre, the Nevilles etc. Viking The reason why he doesn't score enough goals for Le Blu is simple sxb, he is unselfish and I will go as far as saying Zizou is even more selfish than Titi and the reason why I say this is simple, for the last couple of years the stats show ( I’ve read this in a magazine that came out just before the Euro04 and I will try to post those stats in the near future Insha Allah) that Titi has set up more goals for his French teammates particularly for his ex-monaco teammate Trez than Zidane did. I am one of those guys who believe had both Henry & Kluivert been little bit selfish when in the kitchen (in the 18 yard) they would have scored more goals than any striker on the planet. About the champions league..here is my prediction for the last eight. 1- Juve. 2- Inter. 3- Ac Milan. 4- Chelsea. 5- Bayern Munich (this hurts but I am only being honest as i don't see a defense that can shut out Bayern the whole 90 minutes)$187 Sorry Partner . 6- Lyon (it was easy to pick them up especially after what happened in Germany) 7- Liverpool ( I am not fully convinced simply because of Dudek) 8- Monaco (they can score 2 goals and they will). Peace, Love & Unity.

Ms Word....Word Up Girl...i am happy for both of you and i wish you all the best in the Future Insha Allah. Keep The Love Alive & Keep The Dream As It's A Delicious Cream... Peace, Love & Unity.

Raula,i don't mind being your tour guide as long as you are not going to speak to those who knew me when i was a kid(if there's any one left that is)...don't even think about asking me Q's now? :cool: utani chotea ma ngiri kada sawa . Peace, Love & Unity.

we SHOULD stick to our own food! Breakfast: Canjeelo iyo Beer or Canjeelo & Subag iyo Sokor. Lunch: Bariis isku karis & kala karis or Baasto. Dinner: Muufo iyo Malaay & Malawax iyo Kalaankal. We never heard about Cancer before and if any one ever died with Cancer we used to say "Hebel tii Allah baa utimi" why bother with Cancer or Fast Food for that matter just stick to what you know best plus you always stay in shape NATURALLY with six pack and everything .

give my love to Shaqalaha, Fanole and Farjanne give my heart felt love for my old school Bilal Primary where they gave me a chance to combat illiteracy I may not be able to recall everything about my home town but my love will always be with the city that is my home it tears me apart to see my home town being destroyed for every one with a toy to take a aim at my city for every bomb dropped and for every bullet fired for every hand grenade set off and for every mine planted it brings tears to my eyes for the fact that I am silent i am silent while my home town is getting raped & abused i can't heal my home town with my plain & empty words i can't ease my home town's pain with my distant love we left our beloved hometown in the hands of the vultures we fled our Kismayo and went to a far and foreign lands we can't even turn and look back because it hurts we can't bear looking at our city in this condition fearing that the emotions will overwhelm us we may live in a distant and foreign houses but Kismayo will always be our God given homes someday i will go back to fight for what's mine tell my home town to keep its grace and shine don't you ever let no one take your pretty smile. Kismayo, thanks for the memory & the love baby. I Love Kismayo. Peace, Love & Unity.

This is dedicated to my hometown Kismayo. If home is where your heart at then mine is at the city that I was destined to put its name on the map i know if my city read this it would give me a clap this native son is still true to his roots & home town give my unconditional love to my Calanley neighbourhood where I was born to two noble yet humble people who raised me with so little yet with so much love the city that has a deep-rooted love for it's citizens the city that had everything one could want going for it from the beautiful beaches with white sands to beautiful girls that are far from a soul wreckers they are known to be a loyal and a true home makers the city where everyone gives you nothing but love the city where being a cosmopolitan comes to you naturally the city that's blessed with so much natural beauty life was nothing but fun with plenty of laughter playing football in every open space available going to the market to get a free watermelon to quench the thirst fridays were our day where we would rise before the sun so we could be at the beach and have nothing but fun girls watching while sucking on an ice cream to see who could play better so they could do the sum my home town is where football greats came from those who are known to every one all across the country my home town is where the most civilized used to reside people who had a genuine respect and appetite for life people who helped raise this boy into the man he became today too bad so many of them died or left home with a broken heart.

*Diamante* Only 42 days? that's not good enough I am afraid but hey it's still better than nothing right? you are definitely better than yours truly here as I haven't had the chance to unleash the nomad in me for the past 7 years and I don't think I ever will because I am having a ball just being where I am and if I ever leave my beloved Africa I will go to Asia or Caribbean because I hate cold more than anybody I know and just the thought of windy England makes me run and grab my duvet before I catch cold. it seems most of you are only too happy to queue and your queues are mainly related to transport which begs the question why can't you just buy your own car? then I remember the place we are talking about is England the only place on earth where a double-decked bus reaches its destination faster than a Ferrari or Lamborghini. Northerner, I thought the only place you were happy to queue for was Anfield, I bet you would even queue for their autographs . Peace, Love & Unity.

Originally posted by juba: i still don't see how it contributes to a failing marriage which was ur original argument. just trying to clarify here. Ok Juba, this is my point! When you have a wedding that resembles a non-believer's wedding rather than a believer you've already eliminated the Islamic principles out of what supposed to be your journey of a life time because playing music in your wedding or anywhere else and encouraging people to dance and wear revealing clothes and rub their bodies to or against each other is Haram and we all know where there's music there's Sheitan and you invited him into your house hold. I understand what you are saying but do you honestly think that a wedding where music is played and a wedding started and ended with verses from the holy Quran could be the same? It's tough to have a relationship as it is and marriage is no different especially these days so all I am trying to say here is people should put on Qur'an instead of music and pray for a long lasting and a happy marriage and we all know that doesn't cost you a quarter of what the music will cost you. PS. Thalamus...we are not quarreling, we are only exchanging ideas and trying to expand each other's horizon however I am sorry I didn't mean to undermine the true meaning of this wonderful topic.I apologize. I am Out. Peace, Love & Unity.

Originally posted by juba: how in the hell does a slightly extravagant wedding destroy a marriage? yea its expensive but its YOUR WEDDING! (no need for rings and flower girls tho and whats wrong witht a kiss its ur wife remember) Little extravagant and expensive don't go together my Sister! I know she is my wife but do I have to kiss her in public for every one to see? Have you gone to or seen a Somali wedding lately? If you haven't then you have no idea what is going on these days..not that I am saying I do attend every wedding in town but I have seen videos from all over the world, from US to UK and who knows I might have seen some of the girls in here in one of those weddings! :cool: :cool: . The point I am trying to stress here is since we are Muslims we should have a good old Muslim wedding where we don't have to commit a sin, meaning playing a loud music and allowing boys and girls to mix and dance the night away, why do we have to imitate anybody else? When I am marrying the girl that I love, I don't have to prove anything to anybody else by throwing the most expensive wedding in town, if she doesn't know how much she means to me then she shouldn't marry me in the first place. I gave you the most expensive gift anyone can ever wish for which is my love and i thaught that true love is PRICELESS. Peace, Love & Unity.

Sister Rahima (I feel like I am talking to myself here..LoooL) The word extremist is a term mainly used by the western propaganda machine to describe those who in the eyes of the other Muslims are obedient to the almighty lord as they pray 5 times a day, fast in the month of Ramadan, pay Zakkaah, refrain from any form of sin be it verbally or physically and so on and so forth but unfortunately in the eyes of the westerners these humble people will be considered to be "Terrorists" and these days its becoming fashionable among the young Muslims as well to use and label that word on any one who is faithful to his creator. ( I didn't say I am an extremist mind you) My Sister, I wasn't by any means referring to your friends or those around you who pray 5 times a day as there are a whole lot more Somalis living across the globe that can't even remember the last time they prayed let alone being consistent with Salat,I know what I am talking about as I used to be one of them too using that old tried and tested Somali saying "Sheikh Shariif Ma Dhalo" but Alhamdulillaah today I am totally a changed man with a strong faith thanks to Allah and to my old man and some one else who's very special to me. about the lavish wedding, most of the time it's the sisters demanding it and you know it, any guy who does it is simply a show off, in my opinion at least! Peace, Love & Unity.

Originally posted by BOB: Chelsea is badly missing for Roben and Didier Drogba “The Monster†and I have this gut feeling that Newcastle will dumb them out of the FA Cup especially if they keep squandering chances like they did today. this is what i predicted would happen and it happened today! :cool: i am happy for my boy Patrick Kluivert for scoring the match winning goal and Mr. Maurinho underestimated Newcastle especially after thrashing them easily in their previous two meetings and today he was out foxed by the least manager you'd expect to do so. I have never seen a manager bringing on all his three substitutes at the beginning of the second half and the biggest mistake he's made was to take off Joe Cole whom i thought had a decent game...what can you possibly say about Mr.Kezman? "i am a natural goal scorer, i am born to score" <== this statement came back to haunt him... he should know that there is a big difference in quality between Eriedivisie and the Prem League!

chubacka, you remind me of my uncle who left home when my parents just had our first born and this was in the late 60's so after the civil war broke out in 91 we fled the country and came to Kenya where he has been to ever since he left home, so I was told that my Mom asked him why he never returned home and to which he replied "from the day I left you up until this day every night I used to pack my bags and say to myself right, tomorrow I have to catch a plane home and see how the family is doing after all these years" and this is a man who married at the age of 21 and had a 8 children so this line of yours "The thing about the UK is ppl always mean to leave but something always keeps them here" made my mind wander into the past. *Diamante* the moral of the topic is, if you have been living in UK for all this time don't you think that it's time to move on and unleash the real nomad that live in all of us. Life is too short to spend on one place especially when that place happens to be a tiny island by the name of England? Peace, Love & Unity.

Al Haji Malik Al Shabbaz, in the eyes of anybody who understands what struggle and freedom means will view this noble man simply as the greatest African-American ever lived and arguably the greatest American of them all. the first ever Autobiography I've read and one of my all time favourite books, Alex Hailey did a marvelous job. I would have loved to participate in and share few of my spoken words in the honour of this larger than life character but unfortunately I can't as beloved Africa needs me more but i wrote this in a hurry and i hope you will all like it Insha Allah. You came into this world with a simple message there were always the devil's obstacles in your passage you were blessed with deep-rooted knowledge you had a smile that was genuine and bright some say it could've been mistaken for a light your life was the light to your people's blindness you paid with your life just to get them into greatness your blood was shed so they could achieve success your words left its mark on every human like a caress you were the voice for every man and woman who's voiceless they may have taken your life but never your soul every child in colour uses your words from the cold like a coal they can say whatever they want and let them sough you talked about the truth that the blind eye failed to see you were the single shining star in our pitch black sky you came into our lives and offered us all a life time of hope the echo of your sweet words gave us the courage to cope we rather celebrate your life than mourn your death you brought so much joy into every soul that was oppressed your affection is what every one of us in here expressed I can't put into words exactly what you mean to us for I am not a poet but a admirer that's truly being impressed i pray for you from the bottom of my heart May Allah Have Mercy On His Soul.Aamiin.
