I thought Urdu was Pakistani, but on wikipedia-ing it you're right.

I thought Pakistan used to be part of India though didn't it?

 

Yes, India was divided up in the 40s.

 

Aye, originally there was 2 Pakistan's after independence.

Sikhs are from Punjab which was divided during the partition. The few sikhs in pakistan speak Punjabi and possibly Urdu, but the majority of Sikhs (19 mill in India and half a mill in the UK) speak Punjabi, not Urdu.

And the 2 pakistan things - short story :

India was divided up in 1947 into India and Pakistan (east pakistan - now bangladesh and west pakistan - now pakistan)

Bangladesh was formed in '71 after a freedom struggle and a war between Pakistan and India.

Although Urdu is the official language of Pakistan, Punjabi is widely spoken, which isn't a surprise considering the Punjab region makes up over half the population of Pakistan

Looks like he is going to the African Cup of Nations (provided he stays injury-free until then):

 

Confirming his side's plans ahead of the African Cup of Nations Finals next month, Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi said on Wednesday that he expected Newcastle's Shola Ameobi to be part of his 23 man squad.

 

Nigerian media reports clam that the Magpies striker and other European-based players have been set a deadline of Friday January 4th to join up with their colleagues in a training camp out in Portugal.

 

Confirmed squads are then required to be submitted by the following Wednesday, ahead of the Finals which get underway on January 19th.

 

Hoody blell :laugh:

Pisses me off so much how he can play as well as that every now and again, but never on a consistant basis :lol:

 

Don't see why it should, like. Up against the tiring legs of the worst part of the worst team in the league - he should look good in that situation.

I've had Stroller earmarked for the glue factory more times than I care to remember, but credit where credit is due - that was a superb goal, which was brilliantly thought through, and perfectly executed. I actually think that he chose the only way of having a genuine chance of scoring from Marv's pass, as the original angle was against a first-time shot being successful.

 

Despite Stroller's blindingly obvious shortcomings, I actually think that he plays better with Ba or Cisse than they play with each other, mainly because he gets his head to the long (aimless) ball more often than either of them, which leaves Ba or Cisse free to try to make something of the flick-ons or scraps.

Thought he was superb (yes, superb!) in his role as last 20-25 minutes cameo striker. He's a very useful squad player for that, and for mixing it up when we need to go long/hold up the ball higher up the pitch in very specific circumstances.
