Sir-Phil

I now know the fact behind Zenedine Zidane's Algeria/France snub.
Quite a shame the coach never knew his job, coz there is never been any African like him in futbol history. Not even George Weah of Liberia!

Mr Paul

@drdre815, What are the plans you have for the forum?
But one thing, you have to talk to the Head Admin (Mr A) of the forum.

Sir-Phil

Absolutely Sam. I never took notice of that.

Mr Paul

In fact, we mods need to rise and build the forum together and complement the effort of Mr A to grace the forum. I was though busy with work and engagements, but now having little time to be utilized.

Sir-Phil

Am not that creative, But if you have any good idea, I'll be only too glad to offer my assistance. Am beggining to enjoy this place a bit once more.

Mr Paul

O yes, God will help us all, becasue we all depend on Him for creative idea.
