But we were suppossed to win this…

By: Musab | Comments 7 Comments

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. [...]

How Hasan Sas could have made it to Arsenal

By: Musab | Comments 9 Comments

It’s the summer of 2002. The Turkish national team has won third place in the 2002 World Cup in East Asia. Back home, Galatasaray is celebrating its 15th league title and its Third Star.

In praise of Bulent

By: Musab | Comments 6 Comments

I’ve noticed that many Turkish football fans feel that our new manager Bulent Korkmaz is not up to the job and that he is destined to crash and burn. Completely normal. However I’ve also noticed that many Galatasaray fans have denounced Bulent before him managing a single match insteading of welcoming with open arms. So [...]

I hope Sivas burns, Turkish Cup Quarterfinals – Galatasaray 1:1 Sivasspor

By: Musab | Comments 8 Comments

After Saturday’s horrific league match, Sivas traveled over to Istanbul to see what a real stadium looks like. I guess the retards were surprised that grass can actually grow when care is given. Besides the state of the pitch the only difference between the game was that the defense was turned into something a bit [...]

Turkish Football Federation 0-0 Galatasaray, just another match in the Turkish league

By: Musab | Comments 4 Comments

Nothing happened in the match against Ankaraspor. Seriously. Absolutely nothing happened. Ankaraspor never went forward to attack, and so we just sat back and waited for the ball to magically appear in the opponents net. So therefore I’m not going to discuss the match. What I will discuss is the shambolic state of Turkish football [...]
