So the Kadikoy mob got through to the next round of the UEFA Cup albeit with 7 minutes to spare!!! Good job too so that the Turkish League gains some points for the next seasons. If it wasn't for that fact I would definitely have not been supporting them.
Given the recent poor performances of Turkish teams in Europe I am not exactly holding my breath for their long term involvement though. Lets face it any team that loses to Newcastle United cannot be that special as the Geordies are not exactly setting the EPL alight this season.
Next up is Besiktas and here's hoping that they also get through so the SECOND city crowd might, just might get a sniff of Euro footie next season when they finish below the first city teams (as usual)!!!
One other good thing is that with hopefully both the other Istanbul teams involved in the UEFA then they may get a bit stretched and leave the door open for another successful domestic season for Galatasaray. It also of course depends on how many players leave Kadikoy in January as it seems that a few are wanted by other clubs, especially Appiah, Alex, Tuncay etc.
Anyway thats all for now....

Yes, a last gasp never-say-die goal from Fener to put them into the hat for the knock-out draw. Well done.
As they didn't finish top of their group they will probably get hit with one of the Champions League drop-outs, but at this stage of the competition they are all difficult matches, so, problem yok.
We kankas in Turkey's first city, ANKARA, still haven't abandoned our hopes for YooRo footie next season. There is still all to play for.
Also, I agree that Fener can't afford to relax at only the half way point in the league. Why, even ANKARAGUCU could sneak in and be champions ??!!!
