Of course, if Murat can pull out a performance as good or better than the one he showed us during the GS match, then he may indeed become one of our favorites (without the sarcasm). <br /><br />The disappointing news is that I did not see Serkan's name in the lineup. I was nooooooot impressed with the performance given by the Ankaraspor keeper (whose name Jim cannot pronouce) during the cup match. Hopefully, he'll pull it together before he faces Tello and Bobo (don't they just sound like they should be playing characters in a movie like Dumb and Dumber?)<br /><br />I wonder how much control over the starting lineup Hikmet Bey has had and how much meddling from the idiots upstairs he's had to deal with.Battle Damaged Kankahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163344155084653974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-26729519718465554712009-10-31T09:59:28.431+02:002009-10-31T09:59:28.431+02:00Saturday 31 October -

It was reported in The Hurriyet this morning that the Club Doctor has said he has an injury and therefore not fit to play. However, Hikmet Bey disagrees !<br /><br />So, it will be interesting to see if he is in the starting line-up tonight or even on the bench !<br /><br />The good news is that Meye and Theo Weeks, who did so well last Wednesday, are both named in the team for tonight.<br /><br />Metin is injured, so if Vassell doesn't play, then I expect Ceyhun to play up front with Meye.Eski Kanka Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409300460469903974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-35730515889959205722009-10-30T11:47:32.463+02:002009-10-30T11:47:32.463+02:00Jim actually not only his team mates but also Anka...Jim actually not only his team mates but also Ankaragücü supporters do not like Bebbe because of the way he followed to quit Ankaragücü, During his transfer to İBB .<br /><br />We,all the poor Ankaragücü supporters believe that our players do not forsake us!(Provided that we are the team paying them more than the others... )<br />VolkanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-17845212251625046562009-10-30T10:23:44.395+02:002009-10-30T10:23:44.395+02:00Hmmmm Bebbe ?

I'...Hmmmm Bebbe ? Yes Nadeem, good question !<br /><br />I'm not sure about this, but I have a feeling that he is not very popular with the rest of the team for some reason.<br /><br />I noticed this when I met him in Antalya Airport. He was sitting alone and all the other players were on the other side of the departure lounge laughing and joking with each other.<br /><br />He also boarded the aircraft alone which I thought was strange at the time.<br /><br />The fact that he had received a red card in the match the night before should have had little bearing on this because players pick-up red cards during the season (ask Ceyhun !!).<br /><br />So, I am wondering if he is about to be off-loaded. I hope I'm wrong about this because I like his style and he would be a useful foil for Vassell up front, especially if we also use Meye in the attack. <br /><br />More on this later when the story unfolds.Eski Kanka Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409300460469903974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-12744882277452031112009-10-29T20:41:33.283+02:002009-10-29T20:41:33.283+02:00Hello people, I wouldnt get to dissapointed about ...Hello people, I wouldnt get to dissapointed about last nights performance.

There are a couple of exceptions, namely Serkan and El Yasa, but it's all in flux for the moment at least. <br /><br />I think Hikmet was experimenting a bit during this match. I would wait to see what role Vassell will play up front. He also needs some players he can work with. He seemed ok with Iglesias (but it seems that Iglesias is now out of favor), and it's possible that Meye and Metin would work as well. <br /><br />As Eski said,"Hikmet Bey has some serious thinking to do about how he is going to get his team playing like a TEAM and back to the basics of passing and playing for each other."Battle Damaged Kankahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163344155084653974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-83869128868152600042009-10-29T13:42:04.745+02:002009-10-29T13:42:04.745+02:00Whats the story with Vassell?He seems to have beco...Whats the story with Vassell?He seems to have become a peripheral figure at Ankaragucu.Only a sub for a cup game and not overly involved in the league of late.Has the whole move gone sour already?<br /><br />Dublin Neil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-10621991228136921772009-10-29T12:23:39.399+02:002009-10-29T12:23:39.399+02:00i hope metin will take his healing at least within...i hope metin will take his healing at least within 6 months so that we will not suffer to see his retarded game at match line-ups!celinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425385078772214019noreply@blogger.com
