Göztepe just beat Sakaryaspor away. Takes them up to 2nd with the rest of the league playing Sat/Sun

He was named caretaker at the beginning of December and they said they'd make a final decision by the end of the month. Which they have done. In this ain't Kantari has had two league matches, (which were both lost by one goal) and a cup match that they scraped through on pens.

Valenciennes announce Kantari will stay on as manager until the end of the season. They have a cup match against lower tier Sarreguemines FC on Friday before the league starts back up again on 13th January

I think the knock that Bednarek took just before their goal put our passing patterns out. But one fluff doesn't matter when you score two. Good finish to the year.

Desperate for this to be a win. We can't stop 22/23 being the year we fell apart in the Premier League, but to be able to extend an historic unbeaten run past the turn of the new year would put down a marker for Leicester and Ipswich. The Saints are coming ...

Just a reminder that Bluestar are operating a SUNDAY timetable today.

Stoilov's winning streak comes to an end as Bodromspor put 3 past Göztepe. Winter break now for both Valenciennes and Göztepe

And please be aware we have miserable fans who can't see positives even when we're on a 14 game unbeaten streak.

Southamptons and Göztepe show that it seems Sport Republic can move things positivity, though it seems there is always a rough patch at first. I hope Flamarion and Oyewusi can help you have some good fortune.

Since sacking Ainsworth and appointing Cifuentes QPR have had a resurgence. Ainsworth only won two in his 14 games in charge. Cifuentes has won 3, drawn 3, and lost 2 Cifuentes has had as many Clean sheats in his 8 games as we've had all season (4)

Göztepe just battered top of the table Eyüpspor 5-1. That's played 5 Won 5 since the new manager joined. Scored 16 conceded 1.

I have no how clue how "options" work in relation to the player / club relationship, but original reports when he signed with Juve in 2021 was the deal was to 2024 with an option to extend up to 2026.

If Transfermarkt is correct, then Soules contract with Juve expires Jun 24' before he joined Juve Soule refused to sign pro contract with Velez. Theres certainly an argument that a further Argentinian in the squad will help with Alcaraz's development.

Valenciennes could only manage to get through to the next round of the Cup on penalties after a 1-1 draw against Mulhouse. Mulhouse play in the 6th tier of the French pyramid system. But they still have "Ultras" who caused issues leading to one of the stands having to be evacuated after police used tear gas.

Lis pen save. Next week is the huge one for Göztepe as they face league leaders Eyüpspor

But 5 of the 16 were FA Cup matches. Only 11 were league. Arguably, as this run is specifically 12 unbeaten in the league, it beats 1976.

If problems manifest themselves as draws, just before the transfer window opens, that's fine with me. We have the longest unbeaten run in the English League, that's not fluke. We are still picking up points week after week. We are doing very well in an abnormal championship season where there are four contenders in the mix. We will still be in the mix in May.

The previous document has the takeover of control on 4th January 22. It looks as this adjusts the official date that Solak took control of Sport Republic to 3 days before Christmas.

Not quite, Kantari was a defender for Valenciennes, but he has already been Caretaker manager for a stint before the takeover. in the last 8 games last season that he oversaw Valenciennes Won 3, Drawn 3, Lost 2. (1.5 points per game)

Managerial Change at Valenciennes after yesterdays 3-1 loss at Pau Göztepe win in the Turkey cup against 3rd Tier 1461 Trabszon

we had a 10 game run (if you include the Johnstone paint trophy final)

I think this is the next one on the list to beat (from Southampton match record: 1981 (11v11.com) and heres a run of 20 unbeaten from 1921/22 season (from Southampton match record: 1922 (11v11.com))
