Its not that I dont like Christmas or the New Year, or should I say the Holiday Season as its referred to here in the You Ess of Ay but I am glad that it is almost over. The pressure to spend way too much money, buy useless crap for your family and generally over indulge is relentless. I am glad that Thanksgiving is so close to Christmas tat the pressure is not as intense as say in the UK.
Anyway looking back on 2007 I think that over all Galatasaray have under and then over and then under performed. The feeling that they gave up at the end of last season still refuses to go away but some good and relataively cheap buys i the summer seemed to have got the tam back on track, leading the Super Lig until the very last weekedn when a draw to the Oftas team put us third. Having made such a good start it was disappointing to allow the other teams to catch us up in November and December as the team struggled to maintain consistency. I hope the injured players soon get fit and back in the team so we can get off to a better start and then maintain that form for the rest of the season.
It will be interesting to see who stays and who arrives during the transfer window as we need a couple of midfield players, a defender and a creative attacker to hep Arda etc.
Good to see that work has, finally, started on Aslantepe so we will soon have by far the best stadium in Turkey, no Migros here......
Looking forward in hope to the New Year...

Hi Gulay!
thanks for your advice on where to find pigmeat. :P I will look for the hazard tape!!
Per your post, I'm a sports nincompoop, but I totally appreciate being free of the consumerist frenzy at Christmas. You're right; it's madness in the USA, and it takes a lot of effort to resist the pressure.
Best regards!
