Hotseat 12: The Skipper

[The Skipper 20,593]

@CHOULO19, proposing to my idol in front of me? I knew marrying an arab wouldn't work! I'm all for monogamy and I can't understand this thing about you arabs collecting wives (and now hubbies so it seems)

Well, people saying I asked everything are lying... I still have a lot of things to ask. Humpf.

Thomas, I know we're friends - or at least I think so, I was kidding because girls - young girls especially always say this when they meet someone they click. Oh can we be friends. Now, I asked you if we could be best friends

Back to Thomas, I'm a deep person so I keep asking a couple of deeper thing, but I'll do my best to refrain from it.

1) Do you have any nicknames? Share them if yes, pls?

Since my surname is Anderson, a lot of people call me 'Ando'. My dad also calls me junior. That's about it though.

2) You said you think about doing some traveling, have you been in Asia? Plans to?

I've been to China before for two weeks or so, wasn't really my thing but I'd love to go to Japan one day.

3) Car of your dreams? Are you a car guy? What car do you have?

I'd love a high quality range rover one day, the car just screams 'boss'. I'm a bit of a car guy, not as passionate as others though but yeah. My car right now is a pretty old BMW 3 series but it does the job and it does look 'vintage' if you will.

4) Does your mom still lives in London?

She's currently situated somewhere else in the UK.

5) If you played football professionally, what position you think you'd play?

Funnily enough - probably as a GK. I've had trials at a top championship club before when I was younger.

6) What you like the most about the total football style? Talk about its weaknesses and strengths

The thing I love the most about totaal voetbal? It's flexibility, and how players seemingly rotate and switch positions to confuse the oppositions and to create new passing lanes, triangles etc... It's really a beautiful thing to watch when implemented correctly, especially when your team is full of technical quality right from the back. It's where tiki taka stems from originally. Add that with the high press game (hunting for the ball) and the creative freedom given, it is beautiful and dangerous at the same time, it's part of the major weakness in totaal voetbal. It has glaring weaknesses against teams that sit deep and counter, just like tiki taka does.

7) Are there any items you collect or collected as a kid? If yes, which?

Pokemon cards, football players, bey blades? I think that was about it...

8) Why you haven't posted pics in a long time?

I actually don't know haha.

9) Can you post new pics?

I will do some time tonight if I remember.

10) Did you know cool people think being cool is normal? That's why you couldn't answer my question properly

I guess so, that makes sense maybe.

11) Celebrity female crush you currently have or had when younger

J-Lo and Christina Milian I think?

12) Belated happy birthday!!!! Make a wish (you don't need to share) and I hope you have a great year ahead of you

Thanks a lot Barbara. Appreciate that!

13) What was the best gift someone ever gave you?

I've never asked for much tbh, I'm not too materialistic. All I ask for is some good family time.

14) Coffee, chocolate milk or tea?

Mocha?

15) Fave alcoholic drink?

I really like Baileys. Best thing ever.

16) Swim trunks or speedos?

Trunks.

17) Winter, fall, spring or summer?

I like to layer so winter is my favourite definitely.

18) Beach or mountains?

Beach. 100%.

19) You idea of a perfect date?

Just getting along perfectly and having a good time with my opposite would be a perfect date, no matter where it was at.

20) If you were Mourinho, who'd be your first-team? Who'd be your impact sub? Who else would you sign if you had only one more player to bring?

Courtois

Azpi - Ivanovic - JT - Luis

Matic - Fabregas

Schurrle - Oscar - Hazard

Costa

Impact sub would probably be Salah because of his immaculate pace. He just really needs to work on acclimatising to a big club.

If I could sign one more player? I'd get rid of Torres and sign Bony or Benteke.

21) Have you ever been hiking? Camping? Snow boarding?

I've been camping, never any of the others though... Would like to try snowboarding though.

22) Your fave hobby in Holland?

Cycling!

23) Name your best friend

24) What do you appreciate the most in a true friendship?

Likemindedness. I want my close friends to be of the same motivation and drive as myself, which they are.

25) Do you plan to ever get married?

100%. Can't wait to have kids and the lot but I want to be a bit more settled before going into anything serious.

26) Are you an spiritual person?

Yes, I have a very personal relationship with God.

27) Are you anxious?

Depends on the situation?

28) If someone decided to make a movie about you, who you would like to play you?

Either Denzel or Will Smith.

29) How many (and which) languages do you speak?

3 - English, Twi (mother's dialect from Ghana) and Dutch of course. I'm okay at French.

30) Which year are you in college?

Going to my 3rd year.

31) Do you always sleep so late or only now you're on your holidays?

I don't usually sleep late, just wake up very early. Working a lot.

32) Did you get a summer job?

Yes.

33) Skating or biking around?

Biking all day but skating is pretty cool.

34) Do you have a best girl friend? Do you believe in very close friendships between boys and girls?

I used to on numerous occasions. I don't think it works though, there's always one side that has feelings for the other in my experience.

35) Have you ever crushed on a friend? Did you make a move on her?

Yes and no, because I didn't want to ruin the friendship. Hence why I said it doesn't work above! I'm not close to her anymore because I don't fancy her anymore.

36) Do you think your zodiac sign says anything about your personality?

Maybe a little but not really. I see myself as a very unique person.

37) What's the strongest aspect of your personality and which one do you like the most?

The fact that I can make people around me feel better, or even those that hate each other collaborate when necessary.

38) Do you plan to have kids some day? If so, which lesson you would like them to learn young?

Yup. What I will be drilling into them is a hard working ethic.

39) Which important life lesson you learned really young that defined who you are?

I had to learn to become my own man very early after my rents split, massive part in who I am today I guess.

40) What do you like to do on Fridays or Saturday nights?

Working towards bettering myself. Sometimes go out with the bros maybe.

41) Do you have a problem with horror movies?

Nope, actually love them a lot.

42) Did you wake the snake vine?

No, link me?

43) Share one youtube video that always makes you laugh

http://youtu.be/Z8KY-9OVwFs

44) How much do you use social media (FB, Twitter, Instagram) and which is your fave?

Not too much but I do enjoy it especially when sports is on. Probably twitter.

45) Do you use Whatsapp a lot?

Since I have connections and family world wide, yes it's a must.

46) Were you undecided about choosing a field of education? Is there any other field you'd like to work if you didn't choose IT?

No, I've always been very good with mathematics, physics and IT, so it had to be something in that field. I went with computer science because it's a very broad subject, and technology is a passion of mine. I always think technology will blow up very soon.

47) Do you miss living with your family or you appreciate having your own space - even if a dorm (do you live in a dorm?) more?

A bit of both really. I actually live in a house around my uni at the moment, and appreciate the freedom, but I do go back home quite oft.

48) Most memorable Ajax moment? Chelsea moment? Holland NT moment?

I loved the Ajax team that had the likes of Sneijder, Ibra, Van Der Vaart etc. they were a joy to watch. Van Der Vaart gave me an autograph before, still have it to this day.

Favourite CFC moment? Too many to be honest. Most recent one has to be being present at Villa Park when Lampard broke the record however.

Dutch NT? Possibly WC 1998, the atmosphere in holland back then was incredible, even though I was very young I still remember it very clearly as of now.

49) Are you more of a problem solver or a strategist?

In today's world you have to be a bit of both.

50) Glass is half full or empty?

Depends on the situation.

51) Are you tired already?

Not at all, I was just getting started.

52) Can I come later for more?

Sure!

53) Even if you didn't want to answer more, would tell me?

Yes I would. I enjoy these though.

54) Do you sometimes lie to avoid upsetting people?

Maybe only to a child but never to anyone that can understand everything correctly.

55) Why haven't you been to NL recently if you miss it so much?

Way too busy, plan to go this Xmas maybe though.

56) I guess I'm out of questions for now. I'll come back for later depending on what you said on questions 52, 53 and 54.

Bring it.

[The Skipper 20,593]

was just sarcasm

But I swear someone said you know German?

Haha no I hate German and Germany. Disgusting language, disgusting nation (got love for you guys really).

[Jype 6,398]

42) Did you wake the snake vine?

No, link me?

Trust me mate, you don't want to see it. Even @Stingray said it was too much for him.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Trust me mate, you don't want to see it. Even @Stingray said it was too much for him.

it must be awful then. I don't think I'd like to see it then tbh.

[Barbara 15,149]

well I don't know if you guys enjoyed this. But I've never enjoyed reading answers (it being to my questions was just a coincidence) in the HS like I had in this one.

You're awesome, Mr. Skipper.

Also you guys in Europe or everywhere outside Brazil, don't know for sure, don't know the great pleasure that having multiple, creative, funny nicknames that everybody calls you that is

I laughed at the video, it's funny

Yeah, don't want the snake vine. I hear a man is shagging a snake, I wasn't brave enough to check. @Jype, could be more descriptive if he feels like he won't have nightmares (more than he's already having I mean). I would never link it to you. I was just curious if you were still sane or not. It's that bad...

Yeah, it's a video of a dude going balls deep inside a huge snake. Maybe the internet has already corrupted my mind to the point of no return but it really wasn't that bad. I would post the link here but sadly it's been deleted and I couldn't find it anymore. @The Skipper did answer to my question earlier that he's not afraid of anything so this would have been a good test to see if he was for real.

but was the snake alive? (sorry to ruin your HS Skipper, I had did that with WHS going off topic, but this is the community part of the forum, I'm sure some slack can be cut). Wasn't he afraid of the snake literally eating his junk?

To my knowledge it was alive. I didn't watch it long enough to be sure though.

I've just seen it and it's bad but I can say I'm with you on that. I was expecting something worse tbh

[Spike 12,049]

Once you've seen some of the gore hidden on the internet, a man fucking a snake is quite tame.

[Sidzeret 2,257]

One of my friends shared a video of some tribal African kids getting mass circumcisions using some sort of knife. Hard to get through even a minute of that one. The snake vine is nothing compared.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I've just seen it and it's bad but I can say I'm with you on that. I was expecting something worse tbh

It's the idea more than anything, really

[Sidzeret 2,257]

It's the idea more than anything, really

Pretty tight idea tbh

Haha, let the Robben thing go pal it's for the best .

Favourite TV show? I got a few. Currently watching House of Cards (haven't watched in about a month or so though ), but Breaking Bad, 24 and Prison Break will always be up there as my favourites! Still need to watch The Wire.

24 was the greatest show ever created. Jack Bauer #BOSS.

Never! House of Cards is great from what I saw (most of season 1. Breaking Bad is the best show ever, you should check The Wire out though. It's a bit different.

Also, I've noticed, like Barbara said, you have a great grasp on the tactical aspects of football. You said you like to read books about it, which books would you recommend I read to learn more about the tactical aspect of the game?

[Roquila 1,335]

Damn you Barbara

Skipper:

Beer or Weed for chilling?
Frontdoor or backdoor?
