I would love to go back to Vodafone Park to watch a game; probably the loudest of any stadium I’ve been to.

dyslexic nam Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Going for the double today. Not sure if he is captain but he is starting in midfield once again. Winning the double would be a nice way to underline his continued value to the club (not that I think it is in doubt).

Kent Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I didn't watch any of the game, but apparently Besiktas won 2-0. Congrats to Atiba and Cyle! P.S. Neither of them were goal scorers, that is all I know. Obinna, MM3/MM2/MM, johnyb and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_M Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 From Burak Yılmaz to Atiba: I prayed for your championship throughout the season Following Beşiktaş 's 16th victory, Burak Yılmaz congratulated Atiba with the words "Daddy, your eyes are enlightened." The 35-year-old player, who made history with his goals in Lille , praised the Canadian, saying "The championship is very good," and Atiba replied, "Now it's your turn". After Beşiktaş's championship, old friends also took to the phone. Burak Yılmaz experienced the championship joy of Beşiktaş, of which he is a congress member, by calling his managers and former teammates. Burak Yilmaz, who had a video meeting with Atiba Hutchinson, the veteran name of black and white, said, "Father, your eyes are bright! I congratulate you all, you deserved it until the end. I prayed for your championship throughout the season. You made the Beşiktaş fans proud, "he said. YOU SHOW YOU ARE THE KING TheCanadian player replied , "We are always following you. There is a final in front of you and you will be the champion. You have shown that you are the king there too. We are waiting for the championship." zammy67, TGAA_Star, Cheeta and 16 others 17 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 I love the idea that Hutchinson is the father or daddy to players like Yilmaz, who are veteran father figures in their own right. Perhaps Hutchinson should be considered the grand daddy. N1ckbr0wn, Shway, sebdeserio and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaFan123 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Didn’t see it mentioned by Hutchinson and Larin were both named in the Turkish league best XI. Absolutely insane that the only two Canadians in the league are best XI players. Would challenge anyone to find a similar example in football history of the only two players of a nationality in a league being in the best XI. king1010, dyslexic nam, Kadenge and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
