1. Let us know your thoughts on your last game

Was probably my most comfortable win since we switched to Fifa league. We're on a roll at the moment

2. How about you forthcoming game - which players for the opposition pose the most threat?

We at Central Coast only worry about ourselves and not the opposition. We've been lucky with our injuries this week, so should be able to put out a fairly close to strongest XI as we can

3. We are two thirds of the way through the season - who would be your current pick for Player of the Year and Manager of the Year (you can't pick a player from your team or yourself!)?

Well obviously I am manager of the year, but 2nd place should be Afro at the moment imho. Bam last of course

4. After the first two rounds of CL games, who is your pick for the winners? And who has surprised you?

I think it's really wide open this year - probably going to pick Barca as winners myself, but there isn't a clear fav. I thought Valencia were good the other night

5. Mo Salah won the award for the best goal of the year. Do you think this was the right choice? If not, who should have won?

Never the right choice, clearly should've been James Maddison's goal against Brentford.

6. Did you watch the Ryder Cup? If so, what did you think? If not, why not?

I watched parts of it, mainly to soak up the Toryness of it all. Did enjoy the woman being hit by the golf ball saying she could've died

7. This weekends Grand Prix saw the team orders debate raise its head again. Where do you stand on it.

F1 isn't a sport.

8. Name your all time Premier League XI only from players no longer playing.

Norwich's 2011/12 side.

9. If you could combine any two types of food, what would be your dream (e.g. a Hot Dog Pizza, Chicken Donner Chow Mein)?

I'd love some form of KFC pizza - fried chicken on a pizza, lush

10. How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck would chuck wood?

All I know is the only wood Nando chucks is his own

1. Let us know your thoughts on your last game

Pleased we are showing the ability to dig in and grind out results. We were one down and should have gone behind again to the missed penalty, but over the game as a whole I thought we were slightly better. Whilst a draw would have been the fairest, if there had to be a winner we would have been hard done by if it wasn't us. We coped well with what are the worst injuries we've had in a long time.

2. How about you forthcoming game - which players for the opposition pose the most threat?

Nad has made massive improvements recently and is doing a good job. We have to be at our best to cope with the likes of Bale and Mane. We are hit with defensive injuries this week with both our first choice FBs out, so that makes it a little bit harder, but that also means we are back to full strength up front.

3. We are two thirds of the way through the season - who would be your current pick for Player of the Year and Manager of the Year (you can't pick a player from your team or yourself!)?

Olly is my manager of the year so far. To still be unbeaten is a great achievement. Player of the Year has to be Ribery. He seems to be the match winner for Olly at the moment.

4. After the first two rounds of CL games, who is your pick for the winners? And who has surprised you?

I'm going for PSG this year. Whilst I don't like Neymar and would be reluctant for him to win it, the romantic in me would love for Buffon to finally win it

5. Mo Salah won the award for the best goal of the year. Do you think this was the right choice? If not, who should have won?

For me Ronaldo's overhead v Juve was head and shoulders above any of the others. I'm not sure Salah's winning goal was even his best goal last season, so seemed an odd choice to me.

6. Did you watch the Ryder Cup? If so, what did you think? If not, why not?

Wasn't at home, so was catching fleeting moments from Sky Go when I could and updates from the BBC website when I couldn't. Always a great weekend, and is always all the better when Europe stuff the Yanks!

7. This weekends Grand Prix saw the team orders debate raise its head again. Where do you stand on it.

I see it as partly a team sport. Mercedes had to do what they did as they would have looked mugs if Hamilton ended up losing the Championship by a couple of points. All the other teams would have done exactly the same thing in the same position.

8. Name your all time Premier League XI only from players no longer playing.

Schmeichel, Neville, Cole, Ferdinand, Campbell, Keane, Vieira, Gerrard, Cantona, Shearer, Henry

9. If you could combine any two types of food, what would be your dream (e.g. a Hot Dog Pizza, Chicken Donner Chow Mein)?

Think I would like to try a Chicken Doner, but with KFC instead of the doner meat

10. How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck would chuck wood?

Probably quite a bit.

1. Let us know your thoughts on your last game

A little disappointing to be honest. A draw would have been nice, but to have lost in the manner we did, when we could have easily got back into the game is a shame. The shape and tactics are holding up well, although I think a time to tweak them a little going into the final games will be needed. 

2. How about you forthcoming game - which players for the opposition pose the most threat?


I mean, where do you start: Neymar, Pogba, Dybala, Silva, Aubameyang, even the fullbacks like Alex Sandro will cause some sides issues. It will pretty much have to be the same as last week. Soak up the pressure, but hopefully, take our chances when they come to us. 

3. We are two-thirds of the way through the season - who would be your current pick for Player of the Year and Manager of the Year (you can't pick a player from your team or yourself!)?


Difficult one to answer, coming in midway through the season but the league table doesn't lie. Afro and Olly leading the way for the Manager of the year. Slightly more left field, but someone like Reus for Victory, who was a thorn in our side last week, and will consistently perform well for his side. 

4. After the first two rounds of CL games, who is your pick for the winners? And who has surprised you?


I believe Barcelona have a chance of ending their dry spell. Liverpool had a real opportunity I thought of replicating last season. I think Atletico or Borussia have done well and could be a dark horse later on. 

5. Mo Salah won the award for the best goal of the year. Do you think this was the right choice? If not, who should have won?

I thought either the Ronaldo bicycle kick against Juventus, or his free-kick at the World Cup against Spain. Just because they were top quality goals, at moments in the games where his side needed a goal. Honourable mention to Pavard's goal from the world cup as well. 


6. Did you watch the Ryder Cup? If so, what did you think? If not, why not?

I didn't see any of it this year. It really didn't have the same fanfare as the previous ones, so wasn't drawn into to watch any of it this time out. 


7. This weekends Grand Prix saw the team orders debate raise its head again. Where do you stand on it.

It's part of the sport nowadays. I understand it and would do the same being honest. What I don't like now is the fact that teams now essentially have B-teams which act as the pawns in a bigger game. The sports need more individual manufacturers to make it more of a level playing field again. 

8. Name your all-time Premier League XI only from players no longer playing.


Leeds United XI circa 2000/2001, or:
Schmeichel, Neville, Ferdinand, Campbell, Cole, Beckham, Scholes, Viera, Giggs, Shearer, Henry

9. If you could combine any two types of food, what would be your dream (e.g. a Hot Dog Pizza, Chicken Donner Chow Mein)?


I love a bit of Steak, but couldn't combine it with anything. There used to be a fast food place around the corner from uni house that did donner on a Pizza, and that was a heart attack waiting to happen!

10. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood?


A lot isn't it? A good few hundreds KGs at least.

1. Let us know your thoughts on your last game
Disappointed but there's no shame losing to last year's champion.

2. How about you forthcoming game - which players for the opposition pose the most threat?
Hazard and Reus will be the main threats. Oh and Ruben Castro upfront will need to be triple man marked.

3. We are two thirds of the way through the season - who would be your current pick for Player of the Year and Manager of the Year (you can't pick a player from your team or yourself!)?
Player of the Year has to go to Ronaldo. He has been head and shoulders above the rest. Manager award has to go to olly. The kid's done a top job at CSM.

4. After the first two rounds of CL games, who is your pick for the winners? And who has surprised you?
Real Madrid are still heavy favourites even tho they lost to CSKA the other night. Lyon have been the most surprising team, think they are the dark horses this year.

5. Mo Salah won the award for the best goal of the year. Do you think this was the right choice? If not, who should have won?
Definitely Bale's! Great goal CHECK. In a Final CHECK. Sad scousers everywhere CHECK. Meets all the criteria for goal if the season imo.

6. Did you watch the Ryder Cup? If so, what did you think? If not, why not?
I would rather watch paint dry than watch golf.

7. This weekends Grand Prix saw the team orders debate raise its head again. Where do you stand on it.
As Sun Tzu once famously said "One must not focus on individual glory when the better option would be to join forces and annihilate the enemy with teamwork. One must show loyalty to the emperor and follow his orders until the day they die, as only the most loyal will become legends of war"

8. Name your all time Premier League XI only from players no longer playing.
Van der sar, Neville, Rio, Vidic, Riise, Makelele, Beckham, Giggs, Lampard, Drogba, Kanu

9. If you could combine any two types of food, what would be your dream (e.g. a Hot Dog Pizza, Chicken Donner Chow Mein)?
A beef burger and a chicken burger.

10. How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck would chuck wood?

1. Let us know your thoughts on your last game
Didn't watch it. After seeing I lost 2-0, I didn't think it was worth watching Laugh

2. How about you forthcoming game - which players for the opposition pose the most threat?
The attack mainly. Especially as my defence has more holes in it than swiss cheese.

3. We are two thirds of the way through the season - who would be your current pick for Player of the Year and Manager of the Year (you can't pick a player from your team or yourself!)?
Yeah cos I was gonna pick myself... Wink Probably Pogba and Olly.

4. After the first two rounds of CL games, who is your pick for the winners? And who has surprised you?
Barcelona have to be the early favourites so far, but City surprised me with how poor they were.

5. Mo Salah won the award for the best goal of the year. Do you think this was the right choice? If not, who should have won?
It wasn't, and I think for the goal and the occasion the winner should have been Bale in the CL Final.

6. Did you watch the Ryder Cup? If so, what did you think? If not, why not?
I didn't watch, but I did follow it. Didn't have the time, also would be hard to invest in Friday and Saturday when I knew I'd be out all day Sunday anyway.

7. This weekends Grand Prix saw the team orders debate raise its head again. Where do you stand on it.
No issues with it. Made perfect sense.

8. Name your all time Premier League XI only from players no longer playing.
Schmeichel
G Neville - Ferdinand - Terry - Cole
Keane - Vieira
Ronaldo - Lampard - Giggs
Henry


9. If you could combine any two types of food, what would be your dream (e.g. a Hot Dog Pizza, Chicken Donner Chow Mein)?
Those three little words. Fillet Steak Madras.

I've had Hot Dog Pizza before a few times, it's okay. The best was when Pizza Hut did a Cheeseburger crust Pizza. Just incredible.


10. How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck would chuck wood?
It all depended on how big the wood chuck was, in relation to the pieces of wood eligible to be counted in this chucked wood counting scenario.

1. Let us know your thoughts on your last game

Was concerned going into it with the loss of my main goal threat of Aubameyang but those concerns were lifted as Pogba played like France Pogba rather than Utd Pogba.

2. How about you forthcoming game - which players for the opposition pose the most threat?
Nainggolan, I was gutted to lose him and had plans to get him back but Fluxy beat me to him, always added steel to my midfield and hope he doesn't roughhouse me.

3. We are two thirds of the way through the season - who would be your current pick for Player of the Year and Manager of the Year (you can't pick a player from your team or yourself!)?
Afro should be getting it with the team he's built but nudging (or should that be nodging in this case?) towards Olly for remaining unbeaten so far.
Player wise it's Suarez, so many vital goals for Afro this season.

4. After the first two rounds of CL games, who is your pick for the winners? And who has surprised you?
I'm gonna go for Atletico, they've been close a few times, the final will be at their ground and think they've bought very well this summer. Inter probably the surprise team so far for me, thought they'd do better than they have for a while but already look through in the trickiest of groups.

5. Mo Salah won the award for the best goal of the year. Do you think this was the right choice? If not, who should have won?

No, Ronaldo bicycle kick easily should have won, if not Bale's in the final.

6. Did you watch the Ryder Cup? If so, what did you think? If not, why not?
No, I hate golf. It's a hobby rather than a sport and it's for elitist tossers.

7. This weekends Grand Prix saw the team orders debate raise its head again. Where do you stand on it.

No, I hate F1. It's a hobby rather than a sport and it's for elitist tossers.

8. Name your all time Premier League XI only from players no longer playing.

Schmeichel
Neville-Stam-Rio-Cole
Beckham-Keane-Vieira-Giggs
Cantona-Henry

9. If you could combine any two types of food, what would be your dream (e.g. a Hot Dog Pizza, Chicken Donner Chow Mein)?

Sushi tacos

10. How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck would chuck wood?

What type of wood, it it's balsa then sh*t loads. If it's Caranda wood than not much. Need more context before I can answer these questions.
