Just when every one thought ,Sivasspor was going to stay on top all by him self, guest what happened on Saturday in Adana, Turkey!...
The team who plays home games in Adana, Kayserispor stopped , Sivasspor for a nil nil a tie match .
On the other hand, Trabzonspor in away match won their match and catch up Sivasspor, on top again.
They now share the leagues top spot with 38 points.
The important moment of the match between Kayserispor and Sivasspor came in the 89nth minute when both Furkan Ozcal of the home side and Fabio Bilica of the guests were sent off.
Trabzonspor scored against Ankaraspor,in the ninth minute of the match, with Gokhan Unal .
The second and final goal came from Umut Bulut on 74 minutes.
As such, Trabzonspor are back in shared first place as both they and Sivasspor have 38 points from 18 matches.
GALATASARAY ON THE MOVE TOO!....
Galatasaray beat Denizlispor 0-2 with goals from Milan Baros and Shabani Nonda and remain at two points behind of Trabzonspor and Sivaspor.
LOOKING AHEAD !....
On Sunday., it could well be catch up time for Besiktas and Fenerbahce too.
If Fenerbahce wins on Sunday against Gaziantepspor at home they could catch up Galatasaray and be only two points away from the top spot. But, Gaziantespor is no easy roller team.
During the winter transfer season they got quality of players signed. the Brazilian famous player Julio Cesar Santos Carrea will play against his former team player Roberto Carlos in this match. I am going too get up early in the United Stated and watch this match.
It will be a good match....
Also, Besiktas with a win against Antalyaspor the team they beat in the Fortis Turkish Cup, could move on top of Ankaraspor and move to fifth place with 34 points and only four points behind the leader of the league.
Catching up is also at the bottom level teams too...
Ankaragucu, the who will host Konyaspor at home could well pass Konyaspor in the standings if they win the match.
Ankaragucu just signed former Ankaraspor player and Mexican international Player Antoniode Nigris,
earlier in the week and could well do a damage to Konyaspor in this match.
But,Konyaspor in the last days of the Transfer days, just signed Roman Kratochvil, from Denizilispor,
With this transfer Konyaspor has gain big confidence on the defense in my opinion.
If Konyaspor lose this match it could be disaster for Konyaspor they will be a new candidate for relegation's........
So, the week 18nth, in the Turkish Turkcell Super league will be remembered as a catching up week, in my opinion.
Catchers will smile this weekend!......................

FORTIS TURKEY CUP WRAP UP
Besiktas close to semifinals
Well, The first leg matches in the Fortis Turkish Cup matches are all done...
We know, Besiktas looks like allready got a ticket to Semi-Final in the Fortis Turkish CUp after beating Antalysspor in away match in Antalya with two clear goals.
It was the fourth win in four games for Besiktas since the start of this season. Remembering that his side will meet Antalya in the League this weekend, coach Mustafa Denizli said that he wanted his players to continue their streak. "I hope that this does not cause complacency," he said.
On the other hand, Fenerbahce also won in the quarterfinals. A 43rd minute header by Deivid De Souza won the game for Fener, giving the Yellow Canaries an edge before next week’s return game against Bursaspor.
"The final score is not a good result, but not bad at all, given that we still have hopes for the second game," said Bursaspor coach Ertuğrul Sağlam. "We have the power and quality to get the ticket to the semifinals in the return game in Bursa."
On Tuesday, Turkish Giant galatasaray had a another bad spell against Sivasspor ,this time in the Fortis cup match. They almost loss the match again in their home turf, thanks to last minute goal by team captain Ayhan Akman,they drew Sivasspor at home with 1-1 score.
This is why , we just can't say Galatasaray would go to next round in the Fortis Cup yet!...
It will be very tough second leg match in sivas!....
Also on Tuesday, Denizlispor loss a big advantage after a tie against Ankaraspor 1-1.
The cup’s second leg matches will be played on next Wednesday.

SIVASSPOR ON TOP ALL ALONG AFTER TRABZONSPOR STALL!....
Sivasspor the Cinderella team of Turkish Tukcell Super League are on top of the Turkish standings all along by them self's after Trabzonspor could not cash in three points against Fenerbahce in Istanbul.
On Saturday, Sivasspor beat Galatasaray at their own frozen turf and actually froze the fans of Galatasaray fans.
On Sunday, Trabzonspor had many changes against Fenerbahce in Istanbul but, their forwards Umut Bulut, Gokhan Unal and Isaac Promise could not cash in and waisted many opportunities.
On the other hand Fenerbahce had a chance to capture the second place with a win against Trabzonspor. They also missed a lot of chances in the second half of the match too...
Fenerbahce keeper Volkan Demirel and Trabzonspor keeper Tony Slyvia, mad some huge saves in this nil nil draw.
This was the 100 nth match for Volkan Demirel under Fenerbahce Uniform.
World known, Roberto Carlos after signed a new contract earlier in the week with Fenerbahce played one of his best match....
In one incident he saved Volkan Demirel's huge mistake .....it was a bad clear from Volkan to the Trabzonspor forward and Roberto Carlos came behind and capture the ball and send it to corner!......
Trabzonspor attackers, Umut Bulut and Isaac Promise were versatile two feet players they wouldn't have problem scoring the goals!....
In Umut Bulut's case when he received the ball he was all by him self and he did not use his both feet to to score the goal ....he kicked the ball with same feet when he received the ball and it was really bad kick and keeper Volkan Demirel saved the ball with his finger tips......
On the other hand Isaac Promise in the last minutes of the match , got a plentiful ball from midfield and all he had to do after receiving the ball with his left foot he had to trap the ball to with his right foot and fool the defender,instead he took a week shot with his left foot and the ball went to side of the net!.....
MY PLAYER OF THE WEEK!......
JAMES TROISE
The reason I am bringing this up is , there is a young twenty years old player James Troise, who plays for Genclerbirligi scored three goal on Saturday against tough Kayserispor!......
Until this match, Kayserispor allowed only seven goal in their goal.......
This, former former Newcastle United young player James Troise, score all three goals with using his both feet!.....
I think, he was the best scorer this weekend and best player of the week 17nth, in my opinion!,,,,
So, after winter brake, Turkish Tukcell Super League top team Sivasspor still on top and all by them self's now with 37 points.
But, they have a lot of chasers !............
Trabzonspor on second with 35 point. Galatasaray with 33 points on third, Ankaraspor on fourth with also 33 and Fenerbahce on fifth with 32 , lastly Besiktas with 31 point on sixth place...
Galatasaray and Fenerbahce loss big ground this weekend after stalling!....
If Sivasspor wins their other games against Istanbul big three clubs , they will be the champions of the Turkcell Super League.......
But, that will be really hard.........
A frozen stadium covered with ice , does not look good for the team want to be the champions of Turkish League,, in my opinion!...
They have to solve that problem........
Lastly, League's bottom already started to boil!.......
After, getting new transfers, the teams in the basement making progress!...
Genclerbirligi ,Kocaelispor and Antalyaspor won their match this weakened!...........
The teams like Ankaragucu, Denizlispor , Konyaspor and Istanbul BB, could well be in trouble ,if they don't start winning their matches!..........
Here are the score from week 17nth , in the Turkish Turkcell Super League.
Ankaraspor 3 - 0 Konyaspor
Eskisehirspor 1 - 1 Gaziantepspor
Kayserispor 1- 3 Genclerbirligi
MKE Ankaragucu 0 - 1 Antalyaspor
