Only few more weeks before the new season begins. Of course, I don't expect to hear much from the Arsenal fans this year (what with thier recent problems and defection of main players). Chelsea are probably the only team in the league that went out and bought themselves a manager (for 13 million) instead of buying much needed players. United bought themselves a good prospect in Phil Jones and a little kid for a keeper (can't wait for him to play against Stoke ). City got themselves a sponsor. Ahem...

^^ JW Henry was praising him on twitter the other day. p.s. how come there isn't a thread for the new season? I'll start one, shall I!

^^ Downing and Adam are not holding midfielders. Strength in depth, baby, strength in depth.

Did this really happen? And, if it did, I doubt they 'stormed' the house, like you say. It was probably a polite knock on the door.

True. I was talking about Siilaanyo and the way people view him.

On the phone? Seriously? Lakin naga daaya, sannad dhan ayaan ku dawakhnay telefoonka Jb oo noo gali waayay, ma cadila aroos!

Good stuff. Shabash!

^^ Daughters don't count. If you tell them to clean their room, they think you're rude.

^^ Baaca..yabeeco...beeycaan! Wax fahan.

:D

^^ Are you rude to nurses, teachers, police or neighbours? Is Juxa? How about Femme? Some Somalis are rude (exaclty like some cadaan, madow or tima jilic are). But, by nature, Somalis are only ever rude to each other not other people. Femme should go wild in that nursing forum and tell them what's what (or is she worried they might think she's being rude?).

How much is the contract worth to SL?

Silly nurses with their sweeping generalisations.

Heh@yareet

^^ I will watch them when I get a chance at home insha allah. Xiin, dee adigu dadka kala saar. The guru speaks for himself and has his own unique way of expressing his own ideas. My bone of contention with you follows a clear pattern. I can see that there is an idea brewing in your head but that you're too hasty to let it develop and would rather rush into silly threads about Farole going to Juba or the sudden need to remind us of qiimaha qaranimada. Take a step back, saaxib. You're on the right track but are letting old habits get the better of you. It's good to scratch an itch every once in a while but when it gets too much it time for a second opinion. Waa hadaad i fahantay dee.

^^ Waa markaaga! I refer you to Jb's reply on the this thread. A-K, Maanta mala axmaq reer Hargeisa ayaa ka cadheesiyaay, saaxib. Halkii kale na waxaad qortay "one clan fools", halkana "clan fed version" ayaad wada! War anigu I don't do clan fed. I take your words and Xaji X's in equal measure. The stuff that makes sense (to me) I run with, the ones that don't I mock. As for the clips themselves, I probably saw them in the past and (if not) may still see them in the future. Nonetheless, I still have to mock Xiin's barely concealed reasons for starting this thead. Wax fahan.

^^ Can't see videos at work, saaxib. But why in the world do you think historical clips would make a different to me? Do you I come across as the sentimental type?

Xiinow waxaan ka hadh, saaxib. Ciyaalka yar yar iyo kuwa riyooda ayaa ku filan cajaladahan and the history lessons. You have the capacity to come up with something much more interesting. Bal go back and think this one through.

^^ Watch out for someone photoshopping it and saying it's the PL flag.

I have a friend who always gets stopped by customs when he travels back from his holidays. He, in a typical young black man way, complains of racism and alleges that the only reason he gets stopped is because he is black and/or African! I have another friend who no matter what part in the world he’s in would always get approached by all manner of beggars. He could be walking with a crowd of ten people and the beggars will still approach him first. He, in a typical Somali way, argues that this is due to his generosity and approachable demeanour. I once knew a girl who always moaned about being chatted up in the street by an infinite number of random men. Wherever she was and whenever some passing man spotted her, he would either smile or try to engage her in conversation. She, in a typical womanly way, argued that all men are perverts and that it was not her fault that she was born pretty (thinking back without the burden of youthful testosterone, I realise now that she was not THAT pretty). Yours truly has spent his life attracting the (mostly unwanted) attention of mentally disturbed people or those suffering with minor mental ailments. Autistic kids, schizophrenics, senile old people or even those suffering from psychosis and hallucinations would always pick me out from the crowd and try to befriend me. Nowadays, I have learnt to accept it for what it is and not try to find an excuse for it. If I did reason at all, I simply consoled myself with the thought that I do not get stopped by customs, mobbed by beggars or chatted up by random men, though I was kissed by one and asked on a date by another, they were both, naturally, certifiably mental (no, really, they were). Now I do not want to delve into the spiritual world of mumbo jumbo and sell the ideas of chakras, auras or energy fields yet I can’t help wonder if there is an element of truth to that! On the other hand, such auras can be built and carefully manicured to appear genuine and believable. Take Sheikh Sharif for example. When he donned his mullah garb and spoke in the smooth tones of a religious man, we were all taken in and believed him to be just that. In fact, in this forum, I recall one notorious Burkah-hating member referring to his “oily face” (at the time) and positively declaring that “Shiikho wuu nuuraya”! However, later on, when he underwent a period of change and returned to us as the suit-wearing president of Somalia, there were many that were taken in by that two and, for their part, also declared that he looked indisputably presidential! Sharif of course is nothing of the sort. He is a simple chameleon who forever tries to make us see what we want to see (with some success too). Similarly, people such as Ghandi, Mandela and Martin Luther King were all said to have an unmistakable aura about them, a sort of presence that was very distinguishable from that of the ordinary man. Yet, Ghandi walked around with a towel around his waist, Mandela (once he was out of prison and the world really saw him) was a softly spoken frail old man and Dr King looked like a smartly dressed college lecturer. In their case, it seems, the aura and gravitas were all acquired ones rather than the innate aura of my customs dodging friend. The three, as people, did not matter much but it was rather their words, political beliefs and principles that propelled them to the public consciousness. Alas, a biographer attempting to sell us a book relating the life and times of such men would (inevitably) mention them having this same “aura” when they were kids and would shower us with anecdotes proving such a thing. My friends above are not likely to have a biographer writing about their lives (unless you consider this piece as one). The wider world is not going to hear about their Customs related problems or their statues amongst beggars. But the fact remains that they do emit a certain vibe and aura that forever puts them in the situations they find themselves in. And, they are not alone; Duke probably often wonders why cats avoid his path, Jb feels irritated by endless smiling people and A&T usually objects to being propositioned by every passing prostitute. I would ask what aura you believe you emit but I don’t really believe that question needs to be asked, I am sure those that believe they have it will volunteer their opinion anyway. So, let me turn it political and ask about Siilaanyo’s obvious aura. What is it about the man that got many “southerners” to support him in the early days (some even now)? It certainly can’t be his stumbling way of speaking or any past history that endears him to the greater Somalia crowd! Like my friends above (and me) could this be Siilaanyo’s curse?

^^ Dee xanta naga daaya. I don't like him uun ban idhi. Malika, you pay good attention but that was the only thing I could say in public without being accused of slander.

Or else you would not have you lost your mind and posted such a funny thread. When Yeey was running PL he knew how to throw a spanner in the works of SL but the Imam is forever trying to catch up with events and always turning up late. Marka naga daa. p.s. Sawiraha ma argtay?

^^ That was the start

It's been dull so far and Messi (as ever with his country's team) has been found out. Chille could have won it had they kept their old manager with them. They could still win it.
