Whether you like watching it or not......

Turkish Spor Toto Super League's 2014-2015 season starts on Friday night with two matches..

Newcomer Balikesir host  Akhisar  and Genclerbirligi goes to Rize ....

To tell you to truth after seeing the  Turkish Super Cup match between Fenerbahce vs Galatasaray  ,

I am really not excited about  the future of Turkish football and  Turkish football players ....

The hate and grudge by some players on the pitch along with other things,  going to ruin Turkish football !

Players fighting with players......

Team officials making absurd comments before the match.....

Has to stop!

If  they don't start acting like professional player and professional team official , people will be turned of more ....

As it is , people don't watch and follow the league like before !

TFF and team should get their acts together and  focus on football on the pitch ....

 As far as the league.....

Fenerbahce and Galatasaray will try to earn their  fifth star this season....

Both teams starting league with new coaches....

Galatasaray will be coached by Italian Prandelli  ...

On the other Fenerbahce and Aziz Yildirim decided to part away with  their coach Ersun Yanal and hired his assistant coach Ismail Kartal  to lead  Fenerbahce !


If you ask me, this was bald moved by Fenerbahce .......


On the other hand , Besiktas with new transfer Demba Ba , will try to win  the title that they have not won it since 2009 !

Look for Trabzonspor to  make splash with their new coach Vahid Halilhodzic  ...

Trabzonspor already advanced to to group stages in the Europa League along with Besiktas ...

Trabzonspor signed flash names like Oscar Cardozo and Algerian  defender Carl Medjani ..

Former Turkish National team coach and Trabzonspor coach Senol Gunes will coach Bursaspor this season.

Besiktas must score goal or goals against Arsenal !

It is must win for Arsenal  but  a draw with away goal or  goals, will be good for Besiktas...

That's why it's very important  to Besiktas score goal first at the Emirates stadium tonight.

While Arsenal having problems on and of the pitch, Besiktas could well advance if they play as a team.

 Arsenal missing Ramsey, plus injuries is huge plus for Besiktas...

Atiba Hutchinson playing tonight is huge for Besiktas.....

If Atiba connects with Demba BA  , Ba could score goals...

Plus, Olcay and Oguzhan should  have very good match at the midfield.

Necip is also ready to take on the pitch tonight...

If Besiktas defense and Besiktas keeper Toga Zengin plays flawless, Besiktas will advance .

The pressure  is on Arsenal....

Winner will collect 8.6 Million Euro.

Like Besiktas coach Bilic said , Besiktas is not afraid of Arsenal tonight !

So, Besiktas players has to show that tonight at Emirates stadium ...

It could well be another miracle match for Besiktas in London, England !

Games between Turkish giants Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are extremely competitive due to their domestic success and the fact that they are both based in Istanbul.

Good results for Trabzon and Karabuk

It was a good night for Karabukspor and Trabzonspor  in the UEFA  Europa League playoffs on Aug. 21. 

Karabukspor won it with , one-goal victory over French opponents Saint-Etienne 1-0 at home, while Trabzonspor beat Russia’s Rostov 2-0 in the first leg of the playoffs in a bid to advance to the group stages in the second-tier European club competition. 


Karabukspor forward Domi Kumbela got the solitary goal in the 60th minute with a vicious drive that clipped the post on the way in. Karabükspor will advance to the Europa League group stages with a win, draw or even one-goal loss – provided it scores – in France next week.

Coach Tolunay Kafkas praised his players for executing his tactics perfectly on the pitch.

“Our opponents are really strong, both on a physical and tactical level,” Kafkas said. “My players executed very well on the pitch and we controlled most of the game.” 


Cardozo scores on debut with Trabzon...

Oscar Cardozo made his  debut with a classy strike during his team’s 2-0 win over Rostov. 

Algerian defender Carl Medjani tapped in the opener, also scoring on his debut on 37 minutes, despite appearing to be in an offside position.

Cardozo doubled the lead in the 73rd minute when he intercepted the ball outside the penalty area and chipped the ball over Rostov’s Croatian goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa.

Cardozo and Medjani, along with former AC Milan winger Kevin Constant and Algerian defender Essaid Belkalem, are among the top signings for Trabzonspor, which was the most active Turkish club during the transfer window. 

Besiktas was better side !

Besiktas had  many chances to score  but  Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny 

played major role to 0-0 score !


He was the best player in this match  for Arsenal....

For Besiktas ,it was definitely Demba Ba !

He took three shots on goal in the first half and two of them were saved by Szczesny..

His amazing shot from center of the field at the six second of the match was amazing !

Watch it here....

 Wojciech Szczesny  saved the day  for Arsenal  ....


Besiktas keeper Tolga Zengin also made two key saves for Besiktas !


Besiktas will miss those chances , if they don't go to Champions League 

Around 50 thousand Besiktas fans put pressure on Arsenal  before and during the match.

They also honored their late honorary President Suleyman Seba who died last week . 

There were even  banners for Ferguson, Missouri at the stands....


Besiktas and Arsenal will take their fight  in the second leg match at Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal with home advantage is little closer to CL but, if they play like they played on Tuesday night, Besiktas will give cause problems !

Demba Ba , will be their goal weapon once again..
