"They" is you, saaxib. I need not to be spoon fed anything when all I have to do is view the Somali situation and see clearly that clan is indeed everything. Where I differ from you is in being raised in a whole different enviornment than you. I can clearly see the whole horizon of clan politics stretching right in front of my eyes, while you live under the mistaken belief that you are not a clanist. Listen to me now, take a step back and have a look, saaxib. You are a clanist from your big feet all the way to your marrow. Wax fahan.

^^ I agree that we are having a rubbish season but then again, who isn't? Blackpool? War we are only nine points behind Chelsea. With all the problems we had, the negative style of playing and the crazy tactics, we are still nine points behind the top and six from fourth. War even Spurs (who believe they're having a good season)are only three points ahead of us. Crazy, crazy season.

Originally posted by N.O.R.F: The only way we might beat them is if we score our chances and half chances. Johnson needs to play well against Bale. I'm not looking forward to it to be honest. Ps have you seen what Rafa is doing to Inter? LooL I can't see Bale causing us too many problems. Kuyt will double up on him. But I have no idea how we'll stop VDV. As for Rafa, he is not "doing" anything to Inter. Half his team are out injured. He's been truly unlucky.

^^ Fourteen points between the top two and Fulham who are one place above the relegation zone. Crazy, crazy season. And, yes, Arsenal could do with a Lucas but they would do even better with a De Jong. P.S. Do you think Roy's counter attacking nonsense will beat Spurs? I hope so.

Originally posted by The Zack: ^lol@left out, no awoowe I didn't feel left out as you know your tol is few hundred thousands but mine is few millions. What made me chuckle is how you put your "clan is everthing" motto into action this time. Clan is everything is implied in everything I (and you) write, saaxib. I am just more straightforward about it, adigu se, tolkaad ka khashaafta ayaan o malinaya.

Originally posted by Oz: Ray Wilkins provided that much needed role of link between the players and the manager. The man they could talk to and get on with, who in turn can relate their feelings back to Ancelotti. The role Brian Kidd did so well at Manyoo. Sacking him(which it was, or otherwise there would be no legal action) was a terrible error in judgement, it wasn't the decision of the manager. Looks like the players are responding to it too............. Yet when Brain Kid left United he never reached the same heights. In fact, they used to say the same thing about Steve Clark and Mourinho but Clark struggled (alongside Zola) when at West Ham. Kid, Graham Rix and even our very own Sammy Lee struggled when they left thier original managers. This, if anything, proves that it is really the managers and not their assistants that make those teams win. Chelsea shall recover once Essian and Lampard return. Their problem right now is with injuries not missing assistant coaches. Arsenal's is all about ball winners. Yet some of their fans will still blame the poor goalkeepers, even when Fabianski has been one of the most consistent in the league this season.

^^ What's a "cheesy pretentious cliche", blondy?

Barca scored eight goals in this game this weekend. Madrid watched that result then went out and scored five against Bilbao! Now next weekend the two top teams meat in what could be truly termed a classico! Jose will also return to the bench.

^^ Misinformation right there. Lucas & co had him shackled for 92 minutes warya.

Originally posted by BOB: NGONGE, I've heard that he was your captain for several years and won few First Division titles with you lot and he's considered a legend in Scouse land...If his knowledge of the game is that rubbish...imagine how he was as a player! NGONGE naga daa dee Mark Lawrence is by far the better analyst and far more honest and fairer than him and you can tell how much he's hurting every time Liverpool looses and yet still gives credit to the other team and that's how it should be. Did you watch Roy Hodgson's interview after the stoke game? He was clearly angry at the way Stoke played and he stopped short of saying 'These buggers play rugby and not football'! PS. Norf...it's not ONLY you who hates Stoke bro...we all hate them but people laughed when Arsene Wenger criticised their style of play and they said he's a sore loser and what not...did you see how Huth targeted Reina in every set piece and the incompotent referee and his drunkard linesmen never spotted it? Peace, Love & Unity. In their day, both were great players for Liverpool but, today, you will struggle to find a single Liverpool fan who will agree with anything they or Redknapp Jnr says. As for Wenger being a sore loser. Dee he is. He complains about the Wolves and Stoke tackles but makes excuses when Wiltshire or Fiberglass make ugly challanges. Dee naga daa.

^^ Being the man of the world that I am, you mean? But of course, my dear, but of course.

^^ I thought I recognised his face. By the way, "drunks" never have Stella Artois at eleven in the morning. Special Brew is cheaper.

^^ Hada ma sidaadaad i mooday? Yes, it was our fault. My tol's, my kin, my qabiil's fault (in this case) and I readily admit it. Xaaji X is also (allegedly ) my kin and when we talk it is natural to use the word 'our'. Are you feeling left out, saaxib? The rest of the article is stuff and nonsense. Don't take it too seriously.

Rubbish. The kal-shaale incident was our fault, Xaaji and Siilaanyo knows it. He is not going to compound the foolishness of our impulsive folks there by sending any troops to Buhoodle (no matter what diguise the stirrers claim he'll use).

Originally posted by N.O.R.F: Odayga soo dhoweyaa reer London. Igu salaamana heh Dee he made a mistake and came at the same time as that other great man. Who should we welcome more, Siilaanyo or Hadraawi?

^^ It is everything dee (always has been). It's only vulgar people like Farole that are giving it a bad name.

Maxay la cadheesantahay xaajiyado, ma digaag baa loo qalay?

^^ Waa isku mid dee. The intentions of the ONLF are good and noble but when that same organisation goes on blow up other people's trucks, the victims can not be blamed for not giving a stuff about such intentions.

^^ I know. Difaac ha ii galin warya. I'm on your side. nuune, War waa (understandable) naceyb. They keep blowing up his lorries.

^^ The symbolic significance of the red carpet should never escape you, Ibti. It is an important topic of discussion.

^^ In keeping with the theme of this thread, would you say he was impressed with the Prime Minister's qualifications?

No such people post on this site. We are all Taxi drivers (for now).

^^ War sug dee, faanka lago ma degdego. For all we know, Siilaanyo takes his red carpet with him everywhere he goes. You already saw that he walks on red carpet when he leaves Hargeisa dee. Marka maxaad ka ogtahay in ilsa kaarbitkaa loo laalaabo oo diyaarada lo saaro marko wadamadan kale tegayo?

As if the cabinet has anything to do with the country at this point! It's Farmaajo and Sharif who matter right now. Once Al Shabab are defeated and the country is pacified, the whole level of education of the cabinet may start to make sense.

Originally posted by PasserBy: It is good that President Silanyo is currently visiting Ethiopia. It will go a long way in patching up the bruised relationship between the two governments. But contrary to what Ngonge suggested, Silanyo is receiving the same treatment his predecessor, Riyale, did. Nothing pompous. I finally accept that you may be xabashi. You don't get our jokes.
