What did i tell you?

Mr Diver wants to leave Man U. I seriously don't know how that guy can live with himself diving all over the pitch like he does, and tonight's third place match was no different.

If i could catch his ear i'd tell him that he should stop trying to fly about like Superman or he'll injure himself! (I'd also tell him that my brother calls him 'Riverdance', haha).

Anyhow, here are two quick plugs: I found a nifty calendar tool which fits nicely in the corner of my screen. Check it out.

There is a new lecture by Imam Anwar on the net entitled "Allah's victory is near". You can download part 1 here and part 2 here.

And finally, i've been reading the PhD thesis of a friend of mine and often he refers to the history of Baghdad by way of mentioning events that happened there, famous people who lived there (e.g. Imam Abu Hanifa), and it makes me very sad now to see it in its current state. I don't have a copy of "Tareekh Baghdad" but if anyone reading this does and has a bit of spare time on their hands it would be great if you could put together an article which illustrates the great history of this city because i think Muslims ought to know how important this city is in our history.

I have such mixed feelings about Riverdance sometimes. Of course he wants out of Man U....besides, if he came back even Rooney would have his head let alone the public! Sometimes I think Sclari has a mandate about the diving...like get the call at all costs or something. I feel sorry for him too sometimes cause he gets triple t-ed, but then whop, no contact...he falls! Ugh.

Oh, and if you get a chance...look up some Medieval "Golden Age of Islam" history, and flip to the Baghdad section...the round city...amazing stuff. *sigh*
