TURKCELL SUPER LEAGE SUNDAY PROGRAM...
WHO WILL BE THE SECOND PLACE TEAM?....BURSASPOR OR GALATASARAY!.....
FENERBAHCE MUST WIN!....
WE know one thing in the Turkcell Super League , Trabzonspor will close the sixth round on top of the League, despite the matches will take place on Sunday.
Sunday matches, might bring out, different second place team , in my opinion!...
Because, Burasspor will face Galatasaray, the team who has reserved, a place, in the UEFA CUP, earlier in the week.
This will be close match for both teams!....
Bursaspor has 12 points, while Galatasaray follows them with 11 points...
That is why, this match is very important for both teams...
Who ever gets the three points, from this match, will take the second place spot, from Gaziantepspor.
A draw, wont change the second place team!...
Second "Monday Night" soccer match, in the Turkish Turkcell Super League, will take place on this coming Monday. Besiktas, the other team with 11 points, will be home against Hacettepespor...A win, there could put Besiktas, in second place with 14 points, if Galatasaray and Bursaspor draw on Sunday...
Also on Sunday, Fenerbahce, the team who has six points, in five weeks, after disappointing match in the Champions League, will face, another team ,that just got routed out of the European Cup competition Kayserispor, who has 8 points.
This is a must win match for Fenerbahce, if they want to be the Leagues top team at the end of the season!..
A draw and a loss, will put Fenerbahce way behind the top spot race in the Turkcell Super League ,in my opinion.
A loss, would push Fenerbahce team, to the danger zone of the League, this early in the season!...
I think, that would be disaster, for Fenerbahce fans and Aragones's record too!...
Here is the matches will take place on Sunday.....
Follow it live on wwww.turkishsoccer.com live......
Denizlispor - İstanbul BB
Bursaspor - Galatasaray
Eskisehirspor - Kocaelispor

BESIKTAS COACH UNDER FIRE!....
BESIKTAS COACH ERTUGRUL SAGLAM UNDER FIRE!....
Beşiktaş arrived back in Istanbul on Friday amid increasing pressure on coach Ertuğrul Sağlam to resign. A group of protestors met the team at Atatürk Airport, calling for the resignation of Sağlam and the Beşiktaş board. The Istanbul team's 4-1 lost at Metalist Kharkiv of Ukraine on Thursday night sparked a heated debate over whether Sağlam should keep his post. Some board members have even publicly declared the former Beşiktaş player should leave. It is devastating to be ousted from the UEFA Cup at a time the board and fans dreamt of playing in the final, the club's vice-chairman, Levent Erdoğan, told the Anatolia news agency. He also criticized Sağlam's post game comments. Sağlam said after the game the team would forget about the loss and focus on the upcoming matches. It is unacceptable to say this game is over, we should move on.' Of course we will move on, but we will keep making mistakes if we brush aside past failures, Erdoğan said. Erdoğan added that those who have failed to fulfill supporters' expectations should take the blame and do the righteous thing to do, signaling Sağlam may be leaving soon. Another board member, Şeref Yalçın, shot a straight bullet at the coach. The technical staff are the only ones to blame in this humiliating loss, he told reporters. Sağlam has problems in coaching the team, or he is having trouble coping with Beşiktaş. We got the players he wanted, we have been supporting him, but we are far from the place we should be at. Yalçın said they will want a comprehensive report from the coach and decide on his future soon.

GALATASARAY IN , BESIKTAS AND KAYSERISPOR OUT!...
Out of the three Turkish Teams that playing in the UEFA CUP, Galatasaray is the only team will advance to next round.
What is so strange, Besiktas wins at home in the first match, than, gets killed by Metalist Kharkhiv at the second match with the score of 4-1.
The coach of Besiktas team Ertugrul Saglam, before the match, in interview with one of the Turkish Newspaper , said, he wants to be Alex Ferguson of Turkey.
Well, Mr.Saglam's days at Besiktas will not be that long, in my opinion!...
Ertugrul Saglam, does not deserve to be coach of Besiktas, anymore , in my opinion!
This was another disaster after last years disaster in England.
Enough is Enough!....
FC Metalist Kharkiv 4-1 Besiktas JK (agg: 4-2)
Two first-half goals helped the Ukrainian team register a famous win. Brazilian Jajá stuck gold when his 40-metre effort went in off the bar on 16 minutes and he then beat defender Tomáš Zápotočný to set up Marko Dević for his side's second ten minutes later. Valentyn Sliusar subsequently hit the post for Metalist, but later supplied Jajá for the third goal on 74 minutes. Seweryn Gancarczyk made it 4-0 from a 79th-minute free-kick with substitute Márcio Nobre's late effort representing scant consolation for Besiktas.
Galatasaray 2-1 AC Bellinzona
Yaser Yıldız earned Galatasaray a 2-1 win in Istanbul, heading home Lincoln's 86th-minute free-kick to put the tie well beyond Swiss debutants Bellinzona. Already 4-3 up, the Galatasaray deservedly took a first-half lead through Milan Baroš's penalty. Gurkan Sermeter converted a spot-kick at the other end on 52 minutes to give his team a fighting chance, before Yaser finally settled matters.
Paris St Germain lead the French challenge with a 0-0 draw against Kayserispor to add to their 2-1 first-leg advantage.

Manchester United after Bursaspor player!......
According to rumors from British media, Manchester United are tracking relatively unknown (until now) Bursaspor striker Sercan Yildirim.
The 18-year-old is well thought of in his team Bursaspor, however, and is unlikely to be sold for any less than £5 million - with United facing competition from a number of other Premier League and Serie A clubs for his signature.
