Remember that guy Stephan, the Sheffield Wednesday fan from Bilkent, who first came to a couple of Ankaragücü matches, then decided he was more of a Gençler fan, and finally became a Besiktas supporter because of his Turkish girlfriend? <br /><br />Well, last we talked, he said one of the reasons he wanted to support Besiktas is because he wanted to support a team that played good football and won. <br /><br />It just makes me smile. On account of him, I'd almost like to see Fener win next wknd., and you know how I feel about them.Battle Damaged Kankahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163344155084653974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-44158919334270436122011-02-15T17:34:52.070+02:002011-02-15T17:34:52.070+02:00What the fuck?!

Having said that we have won three other istanbul games with the crowd there.<br /><br />As i said Adem makes a big difference, we have a weak deffence and he protects it. Ive been dissapointed with Sapara of late, but thats not his fault, hes done so much for the team that he looks tired and in need of a rest. He doesnt look at his sharpest. We have a good side and can climb the table but need to find concistency<br /><br /><br />nadeemAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-78357332462161125652011-02-14T20:57:31.995+02:002011-02-14T20:57:31.995+02:00Ankaragucu reminding me a bit of Wolverhampton Wan...Ankaragucu reminding me a bit of Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premiership this season.A team that has beaten the top sides at home but lost points to the others sides around them in the table.Can we honestly say that it would be a major surprise if Ankaragucu lost to Kasimpasa next time out, after the way the season has gone so far?<br />Hopefully that wont happen but you take my point guys.<br />To answer Battled Damaged's question re yesterday,<br />Against the top teams is there an element of having nothing to lose as we'd be the underdogs before a ball is kicked and so the players throw off the shackles a bit and play with a bit more freedom.<br />Also, would the behind-closed-doors nature of things yesterday have had an effect on the Ankaragucu players in terms of feeling less pressure to perform and being less afraid to make mistakes in front of empty tribunes?You guys would know the answer to this one better than me.<br /><br />Dublin Neil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-66055183604337941542011-02-14T19:54:00.348+02:002011-02-14T19:54:00.348+02:00Aaaaahaaaa Robbie ...... so they do sell luvvlie y...Aaaaahaaaa Robbie ...... so they do sell luvvlie yummy Efes in Dubai ...... hence the mental block ??!!Eski Kanka Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409300460469903974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-34595745067361339572011-02-14T18:59:59.816+02:002011-02-14T18:59:59.816+02:00Holy Shit!

True enough, Guven can play in midfield, but I feel his best position is as an attacking full back.<br /><br />If I was the coach, I would be confident that the players at my disposal had the wherewithal to deliver, and as I said in my report, I would instill an ethos of consistency into their performances, irrespective of who the opposition was. <br /><br />I always prefer to be optimistic and I will expect Ankaragucu to perform and produce a win next Saturday. The fact that Kasimpasa had an away win in Karabuk at the weekend should not be a consideration !Eski Kanka Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409300460469903974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-72181251161908028802011-02-14T17:46:23.426+02:002011-02-14T17:46:23.426+02:00@Jim: I kind had the feeling I was being set up bu...@Jim: I kind had the feeling I was being set up but fell for it nonetheless. <br /><br />The question going into next week is this: did we succeed yesterday due to the changes made in the lineup or was it just us raising our game as we always seem to do against the big teams? In other words, Nadeem, Jim, Neil or any of you guys who have football running through your veins, if you were the coach, what lessons would you take away from that match?Battle Damaged Kankahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163344155084653974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-44172912737201668382011-02-14T17:23:38.073+02:002011-02-14T17:23:38.073+02:00For Maniac.

He sits in front of our defense and protects the back four so well. Also keeps the ball.<br /><br />I thought Rajnoch was excellent in midfield, did well at the back to. If we can just bring in a quality centre half then we can do well. Our problem is playing against the poor teams, we dont do se well<br /><br />nadeemAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-45564986905216805552011-02-14T17:01:07.696+02:002011-02-14T17:01:07.696+02:00Jim,

It helped me relive the elation that we experienced watching the match yesterday evening. <br /><br />So, let's look at the future. The next four matches are against weaker teams: Kasımpasa, Konya, Gencler (sorry guys), and Galatasaray. So really, if we play the way we are capable of playing we could have twelve more points in a month. We shall see.Battle Damaged Kankahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163344155084653974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-16911418035462269412011-02-14T15:58:37.589+02:002011-02-14T15:58:37.589+02:00Just noticed.
