Galatasaray comes out on top against the Green Greeks, Panathinaikos 1-3 Galatasaray

I predicted that we would struggle a bit against Panathinaikos after our 3-0 victory against Besiktas and especially after the loss of both Gokhan Zan and Servet Cetin to injury. However it seems that I under estimated the goal machine that is Galatasaray. We thoroughly outplayed them with great performances across the field. After a ...

Looking Ahead Yet Again

I was really glad that my predictions of havng five victories in our first five games gives me great pride especially with our 3-0 victory over rivals Besiktas. We're sending the message that the title this year belongs to us. Would have been better if Fener didn't match our record though. As we stand we ...

Galatasaray take on Besiktas - Weekend Preview

The first Derbi of the season sees The CimBom play host to last years title winners Besiktas (my stomach still turns when I think of that, does yours?). With a refurbished squad, Galatasaray has so far taken all 12 points from 4 games while scoring 13 goals. Besiktas on the other hand have struggled with ...

Draws? I hate all the draws

Last week our team had another goalless draw against Gaziantepspor ,a game which may sound like another dull one but it was the exact opposite of our last match. The team performed very well in my opinion except a couple of players so i think it is safe to say that we are on the right path and this international break would do wonders for us.
Coach Denizli started the game with a 4-3-3 he prefers most of the time. Our youth system product İbrahin Kas who has just returned to the club from Getafe started at the rightback alongside Ferrari,Sivok and İsmail Köybasi. The defence looked solid as usual with Hakan Arıkan at goal. The three-man midfield of Tello,Ernst and Fink dominated the middle of the park and had good forward runs. Serdar Özkan had a surpring man of the match performance (keep it boy) but our ‘’supposed to score duo’’ Nihat and Holosko went quiet again.

18 Million Euro Tottenham bid rejected?

The latest transfer rumor is that Galatasaray has rejected an 18 million Euro bid from English side Tottenham Hotspur for our young starlet Arda Turan. Adnan Polat has apparently stated that Galatasaray is not a selling club at this point but that the issue may be discussed again at the end of the season.

Well that is what we call boring

Damn that was an ugly game and i want to forget it quickly. We,Besiktas fans are used to scrappy games like this as we have never been that much of a pretty team that played free-flow attacking football but this game pushed the limits and we got our second draw in 3 games.
We started the game like a brazilian 4-2-2-2 but since our midfielders are defensive players we had a hard time creating a clear chance against a well-organized G.birligi side. .

Still Enjoying the Double

Hello everyone. This is your new Besiktas blogger. I hope to live the good and the bad times of Besiktas together here on this page from now on. The last time a Besiktas blogger posted on this page, we had drawn with Bursaspor and missed a glorious chance to sit at the top of the table. But after that our team had a great run ,winning all except Fener game at home. Then we had our revenge by beating them by 4-1 at Fortis Turkish Cup final ;a cup that the last time they won it, it was 1983! I must admit that the fact that Fenerbahce couldnt win it again doubles maybe triples the joy of this accomplishment. After this encouraging result,we went on to win Turkish league title in a tight race. After all we really needed this one as the last title was won in 2003 and expectations were growing and becoming a huge pressure on the team year by year.
