ANKARAGUCU - FAME AT LAST

Greetings Kankas. Now I know for sure that Ankaragucu have arrived at last. I was watching the Pompey V Blackburn match tonight on TV and was really astounded that Harry `the twitcher` Redknapp is copying Hikmet Bey's tactics at Ankaragucu. Lua Lua is an Umut Bulut clone and the high balls up to him have been learned from watching Ankaragucu videos !!! Very clever, which accounts for the fact that Pompey are in about the same situation as Ankaragucu............... in the `soapy bubble`, or at the very least, approaching that stage !!!

Back to the match tonight and I have to mention Craig Bellamy's 2 goals for Blackburn which were outstanding individual efforts. Now why couldn't he be a Jock ??!! His temperament has been suspect in the past but he seems to be controlling it well these days........... perhaps Mr Hughes has something to do with that ??!! A fairly average match, but all credit to Pompey for their `never say die` approach, and let's face it, three teams must take the drop, but I hope it is not Pompey. Still all to play for. Mr Optimistic is still ever the optimist !!! Perhaps this might inspire Pompey Kanka Darren to write a few comments about why it will be impossible for Pompey to take the dreaded ......... Big `D` ???

Incidentally, thanks to Oz Kanka for directing me to the Referees Blog (see Links). Very interesting personal experiences from a ref's perspective. Perhaps I can `bore` you with some of my stories in the future ...... or...mmmmm....perhaps not !!!

Just heard that Besiktas sneaked a draw tonight. So, c'mon Gencler tomorra. THREE points please !!!

All the best from Eski Kanka Jim
