Aki

I wanted to let you know that at my recent wedding (24th June), I had a small tribute paid to you. During the reception we had all the tables named after famous Palace players. The top table was named in your honour. The day was superb, and I am pleased to have been able to sit at a table named after you.

What are you up to now you have left Selhurst Park? I wish you all the very best.

My reply:
Congratulations Simon for getting married,
I am honored to have been there on your special day and really glad that it went superb, this actually could be the closest I ever get to marriage ;) I have left to Germany to find new worlds and civilisations but I doubt I will found my wife in here.

Tervehdys Ägä. Kiitoksia kannustuksesta. Pääsykoekirjaani rustaamasi nimmari siivitti minut päämäärätietoiseen ja raivokkaaseen luku-urakkaan. Työ kannatti, sillä tänään kurvailimme jalkapallokoordinaattori/maajoukkuevalmentaja Tomi Lounion Avensiksella Valtiotieteellisen pihaan ja kävimme kirjautumassa opiskelijoiksi. Ägämäisellä taistelutahdolla siivitin itseni siis huippupistein sosiologian laitokselle.
Onnea Saksaan! Älä anna preussilaisen pelikurin rajoittaa liiaksi sambamaista pelityyliäsi ;)
Eipä tähän mitään kysymystä nyt tullut kun kengännumerokin taitaa löytyä sivuilta.
ps. Toivottavasti jaksat jatkaa kirjoittelua pelaamisen ohella. On sääli jos suomalaiset jalkapallokolumnit jäävät lähinnä vanhojen Felix-mainoksien glorialla ratsastelijan ja Klubin f-junnujen koutsin varaan.

My reply:
Kaziljoonat onnittelut Titov,
On ihailtavaa aina kun joku on onnistunut noin vaativassa urakassa, maximum respect menestyksestä ja opiskelupaikasta. Olet sambasi ansainnut, minä yritän omaani saada oikeaan rytmiin.

Moi! kyselisin sitä että, mitä hyviä keinoja olisi parantaa sivurajaheittoja.(Esim. Jonkun lihasryhmän kehittäminen).

My reply:
Se on taito eikä voimalaji. Kyse on käsien nopeudesta, joten heitto paranee heittelemällä.

Hi Aki

Did you know that you have fans in Australia? Well guess what - you do!!! I'm a Palace fan and was very saddened when I learnt that you were leaving. You might be interested to know that my one and only overseas trip (EVER), was a 4 day trip to the UK in 2004 to watch the Playoff Final against West Ham. I actually spent more time flying than I did on the ground in the UK! Other than that, I've never been overseas and I'm almost 46 years old! Anyway, thanks for ALL your time at Palace. We were all very sad to see you leave (especially Chloe on the BBS) and wish you well at your new club. There's a beer in my refrigerator with your name written on it should you ever visit Australia.

Cheers

Jeff

My reply:
Hi Jeff,
Your dedication is admirable (or you had too much air miles going old) and what a day you picked to be overseas, maybe you should come more often if such a good things happen to Palace then. When I finish football, Australia is on top of my travelling destination (i have heard i am huge in melbourne too, total visitors to my pages 142 this year from there) so keep the beer cold my friend ;)

Hi Aki from south london. Just wanted to say good luck in Germany and all the best for the future. Thanks for the good times at palace, you will be missed greatly as an honest dedicated player, that performance against Arsenal (when the equaliser went in i nearly crashed my car!!) and your goal agaisnt England when i nearly got killed for cheering "he plays for palace!!" What was your favourite moment at the palace?

My reply:
Dear Jack,
I am sorry if I have vandalized your life by playing for Palace ;) There were so many highs through my time at SE25 but the playoff final was probably the best day of my life as it summarized everything I had ever believed in, done and chosen in my life.

No question just a message.
Thanks for your 100% effort for Palace over the last five years. We will miss you. Good luck at Kaiserlautern.

aki you will be missed loads @ palace. i was gutted when i read in the paper that you were leaving. I'd like to say in every game i saw you play you were totally 100%. And i'm sure Palace fans will never foget the goal you scored against wimbledon(mk dons). Good Luck to you 4 the rest of your career.

My reply:
Dougie hasnt forgotten it either and is still 100% convinced the shot hit a bird on its way to top corner ;)

I just read your articles and noticed that you are quite fed up with stupid questions. I think that my question was one of those... I hope you have a great summer and a great season next autumn. I think your career will continue in Germany?? A bit different culture from the English one.

My reply:
Dear Ulla,
If someone has taken the time and interest to be willing to know something, then all questions are good questions. Same cant be said about my answers. Or not ;)

Upeeta Aki, sä olet loistava tyyppi ainakin kommenttiesi perusteella MM-kisojen aikaan. Lisää tuollaisia väriläiskiä tähän maailmaan...
Olet muuten syntynyt samana päivänä kun mä, vain kahdeksan vuotta myöhemmin ;-). Onkohan nämä sivut jo vanhentuneet vai käytkö täällä vielä kurkkimassa kysymyksiä?

My reply:
Ysiysit ja niiden sivut eivät koskaan vanhene, vaan loistavat.
