I remember Gary Lineker saying that "football is a simple game played by 22 men for 90 minutes, and the Germans always win". In Turkey, one could replace "the Germans" with the Big 3 of İstanbul. Those that were MADE to be the Big 3, that is. Just because they are all from İstanbul.

To my English followers out there, I've got a question: Would you like to exchange your referees with ours? (Trust me, you'll love 'em; they're definitely neutral all the time!)

I will ask two questions that are, on the surface, similar to one another: 1. Should politics be kept out of sports? 2. Can politics and sport exist independently of each other?

Greetings from a rainy day in Balçova, İzmir — where a match awaits us. Balçovaspor take on Torbalıspor in Regional Amateur League Group 7. The hosts are languishing near the bottom. The guests, meanwhile, aim to continue their push towards promotion to TFF Third League.

Başakşehir are actually buggering us up the bum. A similar post worked last week, so why the hell not? In all seriousness, I blame it on our so-called "Noble" kit — which is predominantly all-white. More like "Damned".

Is there anyone (other than yours truly) mad enough to have walked 35K and took 45K steps in a single day?

Beşiktaş are actually buggering us up the bum. FYI, Göztepe are unbeaten at home (5W, 1D); but winless away from home (2D, 3L). At home: Real Madrid Away from home: "Real Mardin"
