^^ You really think that little imposter is Xabashi? Don't be so naive, Zack. He's as gunuine as your love for a united Somalia. Oi, charlatan, try and make it interesting you dunderhead.

^^ I suppose you can spin it that way if you must. (as long as we're in agreement). P.S. Look at the Arsenal fan showing his face five days late.

^^ Not the point. Gallas and Kaboul played against Inter Milan and WON. Palacios also did. Horta bahasha ma dhaawata, saaxib? It was virtually the same team (and it's not even the first team). Spur's subs are of SIMILAR quality to the main team, Chelsea's are NOT. Wax fahan.

^^ I did. I gave you a breakdown of the different styles but they are all defensive midfielders.

^^ The role is the same, the style is different. Wax fahan.

^^ It wasn't one match though (I gave you two examples). Spartak Moscow is a European game (different styles apply). You are missing more than two main players. Still, the point I was making is that the replacements are not as effective (unlike in the case of Spurs).

^^ There is, there is. Barca's Busquets, Madrid's Khedira, United's Carrick and Liverpool's LUCAS all play in a similar style. The Makelele brigade can be found with Barca's Macherano, Juve's Sissoko or Spain's Senna. All these are different to the deep lying midfielder (ala Alonso & Pirlo). But all are defensive midfielders. There are many more and they all fall into these catogeries (unless they're attacking midfielders of course).

^^ War ileen wax lama socotid. Why approach two women when you can attach your e-mail to the end of the article and sit back waiting to be approached by a million complaining women. Fish and a baldi spring to mind.

^^ Not one match but the performances of late. Blackburn and Liverpool. You have Fulham next. Can a midfield of Zirkhof, Ramierz and Obi-Mi do it against your London rivals?

^^ I know. I'm just showing you that I was correct about the size of Chelsea's squad. It is not as 'big' as Norf (and you) were saying. The replacements are not as effective.

And this is for Norf! “His technique is average, he lacks the speed and skill to take the ball past opponents and 90% of his distribution either goes backwards or sideways . . . younger players will arrive who will cause Makelele to be forgotten” former Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, on selling Claude Makelele to Chelsea in 2003 “Why put another layer of gold paint on the Bentley when you are losing the entire engine?” Zinedine Zidane, on Perez’s decision to sell Makelele and buy David Beckham “To me attacking football happens when Makelele gets the ball and passes it to the central defender, who passes it to the right back who comes forward and judges the situation. If he can do something, he passes forward or runs with the ball; if not, he gives it back to Makelele who builds the attack again,” Mourinho.

^^ Ancelloti had no choice (Drogba had a fever and Essian was injured). Now tell me that your squad is big enough to cope with such losses.

^^ Almost but not exactly that. His is the Obi Mikel role (they don't tackle as much as Makelele used to do). They have one thing in common though, the accusation that all their game is about sideway passes. There is an article I posted a while back about the holding midfilder's role, you should read it (and watch the videos). Lucas is as good as any in that role.

^^ You will never get the Lucas role, never.

Nice touch with the email address at the end. Xariif.

How dare they besmirch the Somali name by associating it with a Jamaican jail, could they not get themselves arrested in a nicer place, like Singapore? Crime Watch is for old women and gossip merchants.

Better passer than Fabregas my toe. Get a load of this! (Admittedly, I have not watched the clip but I'm told it's the kind that would make Tuujiye wince).

^^ We are here iyo we don't hide ayuu ku waashay, but what's the point if he's refusing to eat humble pie.

^^ Norf naga daa dee, waxbuu qasi doona. Waxa la yedhi: After the presidential reception President Ahmed Mohammad Mahmoud (Siilaanyo) received from the sisterly nation of Djibouti, he thought it inappropriate to visit the neighbouring country of Ethiopia if a similar treatment were not to be advanced to him. Therefore, and seeing that such a reception would require detailed planning and an initial contact between the two administrations' Heads of Diplomatic Protocol, the President of Somaliland (long may he live and prosper) has decided to take advantage of the instant gratification and good well that resulted from his presidential treatment in Djibouti (as was evident in his reception back home, where all political heavyweights lined up to welcome his Presidential Excellency back). The details of his impending visit to Addis Ababa are still being ironed out and there is a slight difference of opinion about Ethiopia's suggestion of treating it as a Full State Visit (in the diplomatic sense). In his great wisdom, President Ahmed Mohammad Mahmoud (Siilaanyo) feels that a twenty-one gun salute, a military parade, honour guards or having to stand attention for the Ethiopian National Anthem might be a tad insensitive under the regional circumstances. His counterpart on the other hand, feels that Ethiopia will be committing a diplomatic faux pas should it not follow and improve on Djibouti's precedent. Talks are still ongoing.

^^ Yes. War are you watching me? Just as the thought crossed my mind, you asked your question.

^^ You mean the corrupt SL media, in their mafia like tradition, have quickly spun the news to make it sound like some random incident, AGAIN? Darn, they're good! Edit: Not you, the one above you.

^^ He didn't read the story dee. He only read Jb's post and decided to reply. (read the link in the first page, thankful).

Hark at the maid hiring philanthropist!

Norf, forget the Arsenal fans ninyaho. We pick on those poor guys every year. This is the one who has to be a man of his words.
