Hey Guys,
Been a fortnight since my last write up, would of posted sooner but work seems to be getting in the way. I know my employers pay the bills and that but Christ, be nice to have a few hours to myself. Half term hasn't helped much either, or the fact we are looking to move house. Anyway on to the important stuff and whats been happening at the Turkish Giants.
In the 1st game since the last update we produced the best performance of my reign here, beating Inter Milan 1-0 away in the San Siro. An early goal from Gonul provided the 3 points finishing well with a low shot past the home keeper. 60 % possession and Inter were unable to test Casilla in the Fenerbache goal with not 1 attempt on target.
INTER MILAN 0 FENERBACHE 1
There was hell on in the following match after we turned up to face Atalanta in the under 21 cup, the lads were in the middle of their warm up when Atalanta strode on to the field minus any youngsters in the team! After a furious argument between the clubs directors in which many cross word were said in languages I don't understand we decided to go ahead and give the kids a run out anyway, safe in the knowledge a default 3-0 win would be awarded after it, and the kids done good. Despite falling behind to an early Mehmedi goal we had to withstand some heavy pressure but the youngsters showed great fight and pulled level when Crysan finished after good work from Poulsen. The 2nd half followed the same pattern but again we stood firm and held out for a 1-1 draw. We scored from our only shot on target but the bairns deserved that.
ATALANTA 1 FENERBACHE 1. FENERBACHE AWARDED 3-0 WIN BY DEFAULT AFTER THE GAME.
A trip to the Ukraine followed in the 2nd round of the shield against Kiev, Belhanda give the hosts an early lead which lasted barely 60 seconds(a bit like Adam Johnson's sex life) when Diego levelled after being played in by Ulloa. Kiev regained the lead just before the half hour mark when Rybalka finished well. Kiev wrapped the game up after 69 minutes through Moraes. A disappointing result in a very even game, 50/50 possession, 10 shots each, 4 on target each and both had 6 corners.
DYNAMO KIEV 3 FENERBACHE 1
Another away trip followed as we clocked up more air miles as we travelled to face Liverpool. In truth very little happened in the game of any note with Liverpool shading the match but unable to finish any chances. Defensively we got our 2nd consecutive clean sheet away from home which is a bonus.
LIVERPOOL 0 FENERBACHE 0
The under 21 cup continued when we hosted Chievo at home. It's fair to say luck escaped us as despite controlling the game and having a vast amount of chances, mainly falling to Maupay who couldn't score in a brothel with £50 notes wrapped around his bell end, and we were made to pay for not scoring when Doumbia scored for Chievo. More chances came and went for us but Mvogo in the away goal was not to be beaten. Manager Norman Little joking in the media room after that he wanted Mvogo drugs tested such was his performance. Disappointing result.
FENERBACHE 0 CHIEVO VERONA 1
Tonight we welcomed Lyon in the league and just like the night before against Chievo we are just not taking the chance we are creating. Sulejamni put Lyon ahead early in the game before we knew what had hit us. We regained our composure and eventually levelled just before the hour mark through Sow who was restored to the focal point of the attack in a tactical tweak from the boss. 1-1 and 30 minutes to go, crowd was beginning to get behind the lads and their support was repaid when Sow grabbed his 2nd after a lovely weighted through ball from Callejon 2-1 and high hopes for the 3 points. Those hopes lasted 2 minutes when Haris Vuckic pounced to earn the French side a share of the points, probably a fair result. After the game Norman Little was disappointed after seeing his side miss chance after chance, Lyon certainly more clinical after scoring twice from just 3 shots on target, although they did contribute to a fine game and the draw was well earned.
FENERBACHE 2 LYON 2
Now for my take on the real life action of late starting with another piss poor showing on the road from Newcastle going down with barely a fight 5-1 at Chelsea. Just how we are meant to stay up with our away form is worrying, 4 of our next 6 are away from home so it puts massive pressure on already huge home games with Bournemouth and Sunderland. McClaren seems out of his depth but with a week already passed since Chelsea I don't see him going away anytime soon. Tickets arrived yesterday for Stoke which is our next game, given we probably will get stuffed, any suggestions on how to have a fun time in Stoke on a cold Wednesday night will be greatly accepted.
Title race still looks wide open, Arsenal needed that win against Leicester, I felt for Leicester as they would imo of went on to win the league if they had held on but now just 2 points separate the top 3. Man City seem to have fell apart since the Pep confirmation, maybe concentrating on the Champions League I don't know. Sunderland give themselves a massive chance to stay up after putting all the bad press to one side about Johnson with a deserved win against a poor Man United side who Van Gaal is surely a dead man walking. Don't think Jose is what they need mind but he always has that bounce factor at clubs with instant success before getting in t problems in the 3rd year.
Speaking of Sunderland I'm going to give my 2 pennies worth on Johnson, he really is a cunt isn't he? He properly embarrassed Sunderland(a club who I don't have time for but are generally a well run club) all it seems for financial benefit. If he had admitted to what he pleaded guilty to in court last year when the charges were pressed against him he would of been sacked, instead he lied and has been paid £60k a week for the last year. Disgusting that he put the club who does a lot right off the field in that position who morally couldn't take a stance till facts were out.
That's all for tonight, hopefully issue 3 of my round up won't be as long in coming.
