The Goal Machine comes to a grinding halt

As we went through 6 wins and a draw in our first 7 games, many expected Galatasaray to perform well away at Ankaragucu. Nobody expected the 3-0 defeat we suffered. The game was one of extreme frustration as Galatasaray boasted 69% ball posession and yet conceded 3 goals in the last 7 minutes of the [...]

Galatasaray comes out on top against the Green Greeks, Panathinaikos 1-3 Galatasaray
By: Musab | 12 Comments
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 [...]

In essence I guess that this match was exactly what both teams deserve. One is 4th place while the other is in 5th place. Both teams have dangerously unbalanced squads which (barring some of the Turkish youngsters) show no desire to win trophies at all. The match was brutal and mind numbing.
Overall Galatasaray dominated the [...]

By: Musab | No Comments
I had the pleasure of visiting Antep this summer and it was definitly a positive experience. The largest and most modern of Turkey’s Eastern cities, Antep had everything from cars blaring Turkish and Kurdish folksongs to those fantastic pistachios (I smuggled roughly three bags back home). For a good four years the CimBom hasn’t been [...]

We were suppossed to win this year. It was what the footy Gods had chosen for us. We were suppossed to make it to Kadikoy and win the cup. We were suppossed to win this…
I blame today’s loss on all of the injured players. If they’re not men, they shouldn’t be playing professional football. [...]
Another draw in Europe, another hot night at the Ali Sami Yen awaits, Hamburg 1-1 Galatasaray
By: Musab | 3 Comments
Another very confident performance by the CimBom tonight, and away at the very formidable Hamburg. As we all know, when the CimBom travels to Germany, it isn’t much of an away match thanks to all the Turkish Germans that come out in droves to see the team that they support and love so very much [...]

It’s been six days since The Great Captain came to power and so far his job looks pretty unenviable. A week ago Galatasaray suffered a crushing 2-5 defeat at home and just barely got past Bordeaux in the UEFA Cup after a 4-3 heart attack thriller. As I stated before, the Bordeaux match showed Bulent [...]
Category: PostmatchCan you hear that? That’s the sound of us heading closer and closer to Kadikoy
By: Musab | 3 Comments
When the season began many a moon ago, I declared that this year our only goal was to win the UEFA Cup at Kadikoy. For those of you that may not know, Kaidkoy is the part of Istanbul (on the Asian side) where Fenerbahce’s stadium, the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium, is located. To win the UEFA [...]
