I see another week in which Bayern Munich and Leverkusen both are winning. Because both of them have comfortable games. Heidenheim can't create much competition against Bayern Munich in Allianz Arena. On other hand Union Berlin are also horrible these days. They lost 8 matches in a row and they are still continuing with the same coach. I wouldn't expect Leverkusen to miss the chance to beat them easily. It should be a win by at least 2-3 goal difference.

Stuttgart look likely to lose their position though. Guirassy's injury would weaken them a lot. Dortmund have gained their momentum back with the Newcastle win.

I assume we can say Ajax are done in the Europa League already while there are still 2 more weeks to go in the group stage. Because that loss against Brighton caused them to be 5 points behind Brighton. Ajax would need a miracle from now on to make a comeback with this poor level performance. Obviously Marseille and Brighton are going to reach next stage.

But I'm not surprised with Ajax's performance at all. They are already in huge crisis this season and it is seen in every competiton they take part in. I really don't know when they can get better. Since the day Erik ten Hag left the team they haven't been close to that level. 

Galatasaray lige Hatayspor maçı ile dönüş yapacak. Bayern Münih'ten puan almayı az farkla kaçırdılar. 80 dakika direniş sonrası ne yazık ki 2-1 mağlubiyet geldi. Bu mağlubiyetin Galatasaray'ı kötü bir şekilde etkilemesini beklemiyorum. Hatayspor karşısında bence taraftarlarını tatmin edecek bir performans sergileyip kazanırlar. Şampiyonlar Ligi'nde de ülkemizi olabildiğince iyi temsil etmek adına umarım kalan iki maç haftasında güzel işler çıkarırlar.

The semi-finals in Worlds are about to start as of tomorrow. I have already indicated my opinion on the JDG - T1 matchup. I'm not expecting T1 to be the same as the last MSI. They are performing much better in Worlds tournaments compared to that. I expect T1 to reach the finale by a close score.

When it comes to the WBG - BLG series I'm much closer to BLG side here. BLG defeated Gen.G by 3-2 before reaching this stage. I mean Gen.G were the number one team in Korea before coming to Worlds. Currently I see Korea and China teams are the best in League of Legends. As a result I don't think WBG can resist BLG too much.

Pep Guardiola's ultimate goal was to win the Champions League title. Because it was the only big target they couldn't achieve until the previous season. Guardiola finally reached his target in that season. Now I'm just wondering how much longer he will continue to do his job at Manchester City.

The reason why I'm wondering this is that I remember a statement made by him in the past. It was indicating that he would think of leaving Manchester City in the near future.

But for a long time I haven't heard such saying from him. Even though they won the Champions League title as well he still looks determined to go for more.  

Honestly I have really missed the days in which Verstappen was competing hard against a driver for the title. I'm actually meaning the 2021 season.    It was really lovely to watch that incredible competition between Hamilton and Verstappen. The champion was decided in the last lap of the season. But now we are back to another domination period just as the ones Hamilton had in the past. In fact Verstappen's domination level is even higher than Hamilton's currently.

As a result I would really like to see a driver like Alonso beside him. We can at least see some competition between the drivers of the same team for the title.    But of course neither Red Bull nor Verstappen would like this idea.

It is exactly the truth that the inflation problem in Turkey isn't a big problem for most of the football players. Especially the foreign talented players at big teams are the most comfortable ones indeed. The guaranteed way not to be affected negatively from the high inflation rate in Turkey is to make money in foreign currency in short.

Galatasaray are coming back to the Super League after a 2-1 Bayern Munich defeat. The players must be sad to miss the chance of stealing at least one point from their strong opponent. But it was still not a humiliating loss at least. I expect them to leave this match behind for now and concentrate on the Hatayspor match.

Hatayspor aren't in good condition for a couple of weeks. They lost their last 3 matches. I think Galatasaray will boost their morale by getting a win here which will secure their lead for the week as well.

Ancelotti inatla Arda'yı oyuna almıyor. Hadi Vallecano maçında gol bulamadığın için almadın desek Braga'ya karşı 3-0 üstünlüğü yakaladıktan sonra bari al oyuna yani değil mi? Adamı o kadar geliştirmişler sakat gösterip yani bunun için miydi? Sırada içerde Valencia maçı var orada da rahat bir skor bulurlarsa umarım bu sefer 5-10 dakika bile olsa Arda'yı izleyebiliriz. Yeni halini çok merak ediyorum. Real Madrid'de bir keramet var gerçekten yani fiziği yetersiz olan kimi alsalar en kötü birkaç aya canavar gibi ortaya çıkarıyorlar.  

I just don't know if it is really because of Pochettino now. Because this team were playing the same when they had Graham Potter as their coach as well. There is still not much difference between those times and now.

Spending insane amount of money doesn't guarantee any success for any team. Chelsea's situation is showing this truth clearly. It looks like something bigger needs to change at this team. Otherwise Chelsea would continue to make their fans unhappy for many more seasons.    I'm not one of them but I would still like to see the competitive Chelsea back again. For example Eden Hazard's times were mostly amazing.

Will Still has made difference at Reims so far. He managed the team really well last season even though they finished the season at the 11th position. Reims were getting a really good level of score contribution from their attackers - especially from Balogun. Now they couldn't extend Balogun's loan spell maybe but there is still no problem.

In fact Reims are even way better now. They should be considered as one of the title contenders technically for now. The thing is they lost to Monaco home by 3-1 recently. This make me think about if we would see another loss against PSG as well. However there is another info in hand like Reims got 2 points from PSG in the league last season. It feels like they won't lose once again.  

To tell the truth I don't give much chance to Galatasaray in Allianz Arena. It was really impressive to watch them in Old Trafford before. They really deserved that win. However they played against a team with serious issues at the same time. Bayern Munich are like the opposite of Manchester United this season. They are really productive most of the time. I must admit that they can also be inconsistent sometimes. But for example that loss in the DFB Pokal match shouldn't be taken seriously.

The reason why is that Bayern Munich don't care about that cup. However you must have seen what they did to Dortmund in the Bundesliga previously.    Galatasaray have a really good squad and they play ambitiously. But this match would be really tough.

Evet zaten Bitcoin fiyatı sağlam bir gerileme yaşasa bile sağolsun Türk lirası ben burdayım diyip kısa sürede 1 Bitcoin'in 1 milyon liraya ulaşmasını sağlıyor.    Hepimiz klasik olarak aynı cümleleri kuruyoruz ki buna ben de dahilim. Zamanında 1 Bitcoinim olsaydı ya da elimde olanı satmasaydım gibi cümleleri etrafımızdan da çok duyarız. Özellikle ralli ve boğa dönemlerinde bu söylemler daha da artar. Fakat iş işten geçtikten sonra elden bir şey malesef gelmiyor. Zamanında çok bir bilgisi olmayıp alan kısa süre sonra satıp pişman olan da çok vardır.

Sanki bu açıklanan oranların ortalamasını alsak doğru enflasyon oranına ulaşabiliriz gibi hissettiriyor.    Çünkü TÜİK ile ENAG arasında öyle bir uçurum var ki insanın ikisine de inanası gelmiyor. ENAG'ın verisine yüzde yüz doğru demesek bile gerçek oranın oldukça yüksek olduğuna işaret ediyor en azından. Çünkü en kısadan zaten bizler de markette vesaire bir şeyler satın alırken sene başı ve sene sonu fiyatları kıyaslayıp aşağı yukarı ne kadar artmış anlayabiliyoruz.

He is still a big threat to every driver on the grid indeed. I can't imagine Alonso taking Perez's seat at Red Bull for example. There would be chaos between him and Verstappen without doubt. 

If Lawrence Stroll didn't have his son at Aston Martin as one of the drivers then Alonso would have surely been the main driver. Even Lawrence Stroll must be really uncomfortable with Stroll's overall performance. I know that he did well in the previous race but he just can't keep up with Alonso at all. Alonso is a very competitive driver and he deserves to be the main driver at any team he goes to.

The overtake rivalry between Alonso and Perez was awesome! Alonso showed his experience in a really great way by fighting back against Perez strongly and defending his position "like a lion". 

Being 42 years old isn't a negative side for Alonso at all. He is still racing like in his younger times. This is what makes him one of the most special drivers in F1 history. When it comes to Perez's future at Red Bull it is difficult to predict for now. Maybe Red Bull might decide to give him another year there. Because Verstappen's performance has been enough to make Red Bull the champions single-handedly.

I mean even if Perez had zero points now Verstappen was still going to bring the title to his team. 

Tottenham - Chelsea çok acayip bir maçtı. Tottenham'ın kazanacağına kesin gözüyle bakıyordum açıkçası. Fakat 9 kişi kalmaları sonrası Chelsea'nin işi o kadar kolaylaştı ki bir zahmet kazansınlar.    Jackson uzun zamandır eleştirilen bir forvet oyuncusu fakat bu maçta hat-trick yaparak bir umut ışığı yakalamış oldu. Aslında kendisi yeteneksiz bir oyuncu değil ama Chelsea'de bir türlü dikiş tutturamıyor. Bu maçta böyle oynasa bile ben ona diğer maçlarda şahsen güvenmem.

Evet Galatasaray'ın aslında yarınki maçta kazanmaya ihtiyacı falan yok. Manchester United karşısında kazansalar gruptan çıkma konusunda büyük fayda sağlayacaktır. Yalnız yine de Galatasaray'ın Bayern Münih'e ciddi bir gol farkı ile yenilme ihtimalinden çekiniyorum. Çünkü Galatasaray sahasında oynarken o kadar iyi oyun ortaya koysa bile tecrübeli rakibine 3-1 yenildi. Almanya'daki maçta neler olabileceğini hayal bile edemiyorum. Galatasaray'ın kadrosu güçlü belki ama çok kolay dağılabiliyorlar.

Congratulations on your win my friend.    It was a really good choice. Because T1 were way ahead of their opponent in strength already and I didn't expect T1 to lose even once.

However just as you said it is going to be a quite difficult matchup between T1 and JDG. But I would still bet my money on T1 for this matchup to tell the truth. Because T1 are playing quite different when it comes to Worlds. By saying different I mean stronger. T1 play Worlds much more seriously than they do in MSI. JDG are one of the toughest opponents but I think T1 would still beat them by 3-2 at worst.

Yalnız Ali Ece'nin Beşiktaş maçı sonrası programda çıldırdığı anlar çok fenaydı.    En son bu kadar tepki göstermesinin üzerinden gerçekten uzun zaman geçmişti.

İzlemek isteyenler için linkini de şöyle bırakayım: https://x.com/TransferPostasi/status/1721252177220399135?s=20

Burak Yılmaz'ın açıklamaları gerçekten saçmalık yani şu anki bulunduğu görev için o kadar deneyimsiz kalıyor ki anlatamam. Beşiktaş'ın bir an önce teknik direktör bulması lazım. Şenol Güneş'in ayrılması çok kötü oldu adam yok yere gitti. Bütün bunların sorumlusu başkan sonuçta.

The Newcastle v Dortmund match previously was really disappointing for most bettors including me as well. Because I thought that it would absolutely end by over 2.5 goals. Both teams were really productive until that match. I expected an attacking game plan from both sides at the same time. But there was only a 1-0 score at the end. 

That was due to Newcastle's having a really unlucky and bad day as well though. Because they were really effective after conceding that goal but there were shots of them hitting the post. Hopefully this time this match will end by over 2.5 goals. I'm really stubborn about placing the same bet on this matchup again.
