    Not true though. Beşiktaş beat Chelsea 0-2 in 2003. Galatasaray got their first win ever in England.

    Nisam rekao da su oni zasluzili pobjedit nego da smo mi zasluzili izgubit. Nije nijedna ekipa zasluzila bodove veceras al oni su bar nekakav trud ulozili, nasi su igrali priko kurca cilu utakmicu.

    How many matches have Turkish teams played in England in those 177 years? Fifteen perhaps?

    On the other hand, Man United pretty much plays in European competitions every year. So assuming that they play 10 European matches on average per season (five of which at home so 5 x 40 years), that’d result in United’s unbeaten streak getting broken after roughly 200 matches.

    While it is true that some key players where missing, we have also sucked offensively for a very long time and our coach doesn’t seem to be the guy to change things.

    He’s great off ball and bad on the ball, but with Galatasaray the decision is “get the ball to Icardi” and he’s incredible at it.

    I really wouldn’t say Samet Akaydin is our second best centerback lol

    It’ll probably be Caglar on the right when he gets back

    it was worded wrong and i fixed it. the same way you just edited your whole paragraph.

    smartass is the one shoehorning their team’s irrelevant victory with the most niche bit of tidbit and calling it pinnacle achievement of shattering deep runs lmfao.

    Didn’t you play a WC final and a semi final thanks to some of these players? Would you be able to be do this if you had other players instead of these?
