TURKCELL SUPER LEAGUE SUNDAY WRAP

WORST START FOR FENERBAHCE UNDER ARAGONES!

Luis Aragones insists he has no intention of stepping down as Fenerbahce coach in the wake of Sunday's 4-1 home drubbing to Kayserispor.

Aragones, who took over Fenerbahce this summer after leading Spain to the Euro 2008 title, has suffered a hugely disappointing start to his reign and this latest loss has further increased the pressure on the 70-year-old Spaniard.

However, Aragones is adamant he is not going to fall on his sword, saying in comments reported by Marca: "To lose 4-1 is a bad result, but I have not come here to resign now. I'm here to do what I do best. Of course I'm not thinking about resigning."

The Kayserispor defeat leaves Fenerbahce 12th in the Turkcell Super League having lost four of their opening six games, winning the other two.

Fenerbahce have also picked up just one point from their opening two Champions League Group G matches, with last month's draw with Dynamo Kiev ending a run of eight successive home victories in Europe.

Last season, under the guidance of former coach Zico, Fenerbahce reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League and finished as runners-up in the Turkcell Super League.

The Fenerbahce fans were chanting "I Love You Zico" as they were leaving the match early......

BURSASPOR MOVE TO SECOND PLACE.....

BURSASPOR moved into second spot in the Turkcell Super League table with a 2-1 win over Harry Kewell's Galatasaray.
Mustafa Sarp opened the scoring in the 38th minute and Sercan Yildirim doubled the hosts' lead three minutes into the second half.

Arda Turan pulled one back for Galatasaray eight minutes later but they could not find the equaliser.

Bursaspor are a point behind league leader Trabzonspor.

Kayserispor are four points behind Bursaspor in fourth place after they triumphed 4-1 at Fenerbahce thanks to Julius Aghahowa's hat-trick.

Aghahowa grabbed his first in the 21st minute and doubled his and his side's tally four minutes from half-time.

Roberto Carlos grabbed one back for the hosts just before the hour mark, but Turgay Bahadir restored Kayserispor's two-goal advantage in the 63rd minute before Aghahowa completed his hat-trick 11 minutes later.

Kocaelispor remain bottom of the table after a last-gasp goal condemned them to a 2-1 defeat at Eskisehirspor.

Souleymane Youla opened the scoring in the 13th minute but Volkan Bekiroglu equalised for the visitors 10 minutes from half-time.

Kocaelispor thought they were going to pick up only their second point of the season until Youla pounced again in the dying seconds.

Istanbul Buyuksehir BSK are only two points above Kocaelispor after they lost 2-1 at Denizlispor.

Yusuf Kurtulus put the hosts into the lead in the 15th minute before Roman Kratochvil doubled their advantage from the spot 11 minutes from half-time.

Marcos Marquinhos grabbed one back two minutes after the interval but the visitors could not find the equalizer.

Ankaragucu have only a point more and are still winless at home following their 2-0 loss to Genclerbirligi.

Carlos Kahe broke the deadlock in the 63rd minutes and Engin Baytar grabbed the other 12 minutes later.

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.....

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.
