Whether that represents the preface of an aspiring literary writer is a topic I am apparently disqualified to comment on. Sometimes the story itself does not really matter, it is the way it was told and the (undeniable) fact that you managed to read it from start to finish. Yes, if the story was one where he said "when I was at school, myself and a few friend used to pass around a silly girl by the name of Nitsu", I too, like you, would have shaken my head and asked him to come up with something a tad better than that. But the man is readable, saaxib. And the story has a point (the uncontrolable hormones of teenage boys and girls). If this were your first time, I wouldn't have made my comment but you have been dogging the man for years. Naga daa dee. P.S. Mr Somalia's story is brilliant too. Mockery at its best (the vulgar use of the word a$$ was a tad tasteless). :D

No, Malika. It is the more posts of yours that people 'approve'. I think I got most of mine after the battle with Sayid.

Lucas Leiva believes he can handle the pressure that goes with donning one of the most coveted shirts in Brazil. The Reds midfielder has worn the No.5 under new coach Mano Menezes, following in the illustrious footsteps of the likes of Dunga and Gilberto Silva. He admits it is a huge honour to be entrusted with the responsibility and hopes he can live up to the expectation. "It is a really important shirt," said Lucas. "In Brazil, they think everything starts with this player. The No 5 is expected to make the game. It is one of the most important positions." With the 2014 World Cup set to take place in Brazil, the Liverpool man could well emerge as a key player for the hosts. Lucas acknowledges there will be an additional pressure that comes with being the home country but hopes they can go one better than the last time his nation hosted football's biggest tournament. "We have to win it," added Lucas. "There is no option. It will be 12 years since we won it, and it is in Brazil. Everyone still remembers what happened in 1950 against Uruguay, and the final will be at Maracana again. "There is a lot of pressure. People are thinking only about winning. It is a big responsibility for me."

Now you know the whole story. Give a fair verdict please.

This will not do. I believe I already won. I even started a thread on the subject. Draw my FOOT!

Regular readers of the Troll section might have recently noticed the incessant showboating of a certain Nomad and his constant invitations for me to join him in a Somali poetry duel. Most readers (of the troll section and the site as a whole) already know of my limited (but improving) ability with the Somali language and many probably believe that I could not win such a duel against a sanam taagan, never mind an actual gibbering Qardhaawi. Nonetheless, (and here the regulars of the Sports Forum are more than qualified to vouch) the blood of my Burcaawi ancestors that flows strong within me (though the signals are somewhat weak) would not let me shirk such a blatant and scornful challenge. Therefore, when the Qardho rascal assaulted me with a classic poem of a Somali legend whilst knowing full well that I would not know a poem from a shopping list, I took up the challenge and replied in my own inimitable style. Now some may snigger or even wonder at my egotistic foolishness but I strongly believe that I actually won that first duel. After all, I was unwittingly duelling with two men (one really dead and the other barely breathing). The reason I believe that I won is to do with modern rules of competition. We see it in Golf, Horse Racing and many other sports. Tiger Woods for instance has one of the best handicaps in the game of golf yet he may lose to a man of a lesser ability than he is because of these “handicap” rules. And as such, I believe that when one takes (and allows for) my measly poetic ability, limited Somali vocabulary and awful grammatical application into account, it becomes crystal clear that I’ve emerged as the obvious winner of every round of our duel. In addition, when one (as one must) deducts points for ungentlemanly conduct from the account of the Qardho bankrupt, it again becomes clear that there was only one winner of this duel. So, whilst bearing the above in mind, I invite all fair minded poetry lovers to adjudicate in this minor dispute. There once were two men called Sayid One was alive and the other dead They went one round with NGONGE And were left reeling for a full day Then "sorry, abwan" they both said. Raaaah Raaaah (sorry it's that ancesteral blood again).

He failed, yet again, to inspire his team when they need inspiring. His distant approach in training contributed to player discontent (again). He did well for us and I was fully behind him but when he blames everyone else and his uncle for his own short comings is where I draw the line. The man sold Alonso and tried to replace him Aquilani! Aar Rafaa ku waalay. The Alonso story is well publicised. Go and read the reasons behind it and what went wrong. As for a man that can't inspire a team, look at this (FACT as Rafa would say): 2004-06 In his 1st home game in charge (Man City) Liverpool came from behind at half-time to win a game for the first time in more than 5 years. At Fulham (October 2004) the Reds came from behind at half-time to win an away game for the 1st time in 13 years.

Sami Hyypia played in a 56th consecutive European game – breaking the club record for an outfield player (he extended that record to 57). Liverpool set a new club record of 11 consecutive clean sheets (Oct-Dec 2005). Went 762 minutes without conceding a league goal (a post-war club record). Won 10 league games in a row for the 1st time in 15 years. At Luton Liverpool scored 5 goals in an away F.A. Cup tie for the 1st time in 59 years. Liverpool beat Manchester United for the 1st time in the F.A. Cup for 85 years. Recorded their biggest ever away win in the F.A. Cup (7-0 at Birmingham) and the biggest by any team away from home in the Quarter-Finals for 106 years. Conceded only 8 league goals at home – their 3rd best total ever. Set a club record of 12 successive wins in all competitions (it was extended to 14 at the start of the following season). By lifting the F.A. Cup became the 1st manager in the club’s history to win a trophy in each of his first 2 seasons in charge. Set a club record of 21 goals scored by substitutes in a season – previous record was 12. Achieved the 6th-highest accumulation of available league points in the club’s history, and at the time, the 2nd-highest ever number of wins (as a % of games played) 2006-07 Recorded his 50th league win in just 93 games – a record bettered by only 2 Liverpool managers of the previous 57 years, Dalglish and Shankly. Went unbeaten in 30 successive home league games for only the 4th time in their history. Scored 4 goals in the 1st half of an away league game (at Wigan) for the 1st time in 15 years.

Scored 4 goals in a game on 8 occasions before Christmas for only the 3rd time in club’s history. Steven Gerrard scored his 23rd European goal – to break the club record. Pepe Reina kept his 50th league clean sheet in his 92nd appearance – breaking club record of 95 held by Ray Clemence.
