I hope you understand.


Exactly it is my point. We are actively 15 people here. What is the big deal for Arsenal fans if i am making fun of their team? :) It is not that serious man. Look Galatasaray won 11 games out of 21 games in garbage Turkish League and I am acting like we are one of the best teams in CL. If we lose points to a bad team in our league, come here and make fun of me and my team as much as you want, it is okay to me, I would never get mad at it. It is the whole fun part.

When I was going to elementary, middle and high school in Istanbul, I was so excited whenever Fenerbahce lost the game, so that I could be able to make fun of my friends. Don't take it too serious. Trust me no one can be as fanatic as I am( I live in NY but go to Istanbul 4-5 times in a year to watch Galatasaray and went to Manchester United game in England and going to Schalke in Germany) but I don't take it that serious anymore.

Anyways, I understand your concern 5DOM. Thanks for the explanation.

Promise.

Doing pretty well at Boro, but he needs to improve A LOT if he wants to play at his best position (#10) for Chelsea because of Mata, Hazard and Oscar. I reckon he and De Bruyne will probably have to play deeper, but I think there's definitely future for him (at Chelsea or another club)


Ancelotti used him deeper as a regista a bunch of times, didn't he? I don't know how he's been developing since but I think he looked fantastic there.

He did and he looked pretty good there, but from what I've heard, he's playing just behind the striker at Boro like he had at the youth teams and that's his best position. It makes sense because that allows him to use his real outstanding qualities: vision and passing. Him playing a holding role under Carlo probably had more to do with him not being ready for the first team game. It's one of the easier positions to play when you are leading by a lot and allows you to touch the ball quite often which is nice for a youngster trying to get used to higher level football. It's a shame that we never had the stability to offer our youngsters some playing time since Carlo left. He used to use them for subs, but now it's always the veterans who get picked.

Haha. I get match tickets for free. If you make your way to Germany, i'll take care of the match ticket though.

So you can watch one of the best strikers in the world Drogba-Yilmaz.

One of the best strikers in the world. And a guy who, on occasion, might go two whole games without getting on the pitch because he can't beat out the pride and joy of Toulouse, Johan Elmander and Umut Bulut, for a spot in the team. :D

Haha Chandler good try but burak didn't play because he wasn't doing what Fatih Terim tells him to do. That's why he didn't play those two games. But the message was delievered perfectly since he scored goals when he comes back to first eleven :)

poor guy, that's what i came to this thread to comment on. While the likes of Zola, Vialli, and Di Matteo did it big in the 90s, it seems Italians are cursed these days when they go to the premier league...for example: Aquilani, Balotelli, Borini.

I bet it's as simple as them missing their mama's home cooked meals too much rather than tactics :lol:
...but on the other hand, there hasn't been a single British player in the Serie A since Beckham's stint with Milan

Different styles of football. Argentinians prior to Teves and Aguero, also did not fare well in the EPL, but they excelled in Serie A. I think Italians and Argentinians play a similar style of football.

^ Culture is similar. These guys have severe language issues in England, similar to British players not opting to play in other countries since the 90s.

I'm surprised by Balotelli's English since Tevez has been in England since 2006 and he still can't speak a word.

LOL at all these pigeons at Craven Cottage. Fulham must be filled with them cause Craven Cottage and Stamford Bridge are the only stadia I ever see this many pigeons at.

-There's only a few players in the Premiership that could take that volley one time and finish like Berbatov. I love that man.

-God I hate Robert Huth. What an awful human being. Tony Pulis isn't far behind.

-HUGE RELEGATION MATCH: READING/WIGAN C'mon the Latics!!!
