Klopp Premier Lig'i düşünerek Avrupa Ligi'ni feda etmişti. Şimdi elinde Premier Lig de kalmadı gibi bir şey diyebiliriz. Çünkü geçenki akıl almaz Everton yenilgisi onları diğer şampiyonluk adaylarının ikisinin de gerisine düşürmüş oldu. Şu noktadan itibaren ligi 3. sırada bile tamamlayabilirler. Çünkü Arsenal onlardan daha kararlı bir futbol sergiliyor.

Have you seen the way Antony celebrated the win after penalties? It made me start laughing truthfully.    Of course he will celebrate the win, I have no problem with that. But he showed it like they got a huge win or something like that. I didn't see the other players celebrating the win in a fancy way because they knew how they messed up after the 70th minute. 

If Lisandro Martinez is back soon then it is really good news for Manchester United defense. His absence has been felt too much. But he needs to gain some match fitness until the FA Cup final.

Napoli have definitely been rubbish this season, I'll give you that mate. Spalletti left and the team went down very sharply like the stock market.    I wouldn't expect them to change this much anyway. They are even struggling to enter top 7 to get a chance for a European competition at least. What a pity!

5 teams are going to the Champions League from the Serie A this year. Because the extra quota has been given to Serie A teams.



Despite this huge chance Napoli still can't qualify for the Champions League, I don't know what to say...

By the way guys have you heard of the manager decision of Liverpool as of next season? It looks like it is going to be Arne Slot. 

There isn't an official announcement by Liverpool side yet as I can't see on their website or official social media accounts. However it looks soon to be announced after making the official signing.

I only know him by the Eredivisie title he achieved at Feyenoord last season. I don't know much about his strategies, tactics and so on. If Liverpool rushed this much to decide their new manager then there must be something special about him. Otherwise there have already been really good options such as Conte for example.

Nico Hülkenberg has already been announced by Kick Sauber F1 team for the 2025 season! 



If it is true, Bottas and Zhou are both out of the team by the end of this season. One of their members has been decided by this signing but we don't know who Hülkenberg's teammate will be there.

Yeah, Hülkenberg might sign for Audi maybe later but at least for one season we will watch him at Kick Sauber. While there is an opening at Haas maybe we might see Bearman being given a chance, what do you think? 

I agree with that. Arsenal played really poorly against Aston Villa and lost badly at Emirates. This opened the way for Manchester City wide open to take the lead.    Believe me, I also want to see a different champion a lot. Manchester City have been dominating the league for many years. Only Liverpool managed to break the series once and that's all.

If Manchester City continue like that I think it shouldn't be questioned why people are talking about the PL like a "farmers league".

By the way I have heard Manchester City are planning to extend Guardiola's contract by another year. It will be until 2026 then. I wonder how much longer Guardiola plans to stay while he is finishing his 8th year there.

Evet hocam denetimsizlik konusunda kesinlikle katılıyorum. Lokanta, kafe gibi yerlerin KDV'yi %1 gösterme gibi uyanıklıkları kim bilir ne kadar zamandır devam ediyor. Doğru düzgün bir denetim mekanizması oluşturmayınca da bazı kesimler bundan cesaret alıp kafasına göre hareket ediyor. Bazı diyorum ama eskiye kıyasla kanunsuz işlemler yapan insanların sayısı inanılmaz arttı. Denetim konusunda gerekli adımlar acilen atılmalı ama adil bir şekilde uygulanmalı. Her kesimden kanunsuzluk yapana ceza verilmeli yani.

Yeah it was really not expected for me either in the Champions League. They were more successful than this last season you know. They played the second leg really badly against Atletico Madrid.    However of course the priority was to win the Serie A title and they did it like a boss.    It was a full domination during the all season.

We will probably see news sources starting to spread rumours like linking their best players with other big European teams this summer. 

I would like to say already now: I don't expect Lautaro to leave.    Because he is always the one to be linked the most. I would expect the same especially after this huge effort.

Yeah, Ferrari has announced their special colours for the Miami GP. 



Truthfully I can't say I'm a fan of this kind of a design for the car. It reminds me of BMW Sauber F1 colours.    I liked that car though but I mean these colours don't fit a Ferrari. Because Ferrari is famous for its red colour.

When it comes to special design I loved the special one by Red Bull for the 2021 Turkish GP. 



Anyway we have a break of a week before the Miami GP and then we continue from where we left. There is going to be another sprint race by the way.

Arsenal dominated the whole match. Chelsea found really few chances and wasted them also.    People must have witnessed once again that Chelsea aren't able to do anything without Palmer. They couldn't answer Arsenal in any way for example. The second half was insane. Goals poured like rain!

Odegaard - Havertz - Ben White were such a lovely trio to just sit and watch their game here.  

Jackson is horrible! It is like he has lost his talent since he signed for Chelsea. He is terrible at finishing and the example below is a great proof for that. He could have simply scored by targeting the right corner but instead...

Geçenlerde lokanta ve kafelerdeki KDV oranlarında %8 olanların %10'a, %18 olanların ise %20'ye çıkarılacağı yönünde bir haber yayınlanmıştı. Bunun üzerine Mehmet Şimşek'in KDV oranlarında artış olmayacağını söylediği aklıma geldi. Diğer yandan daha sonra bunun zaten daha geçen sene yürürlüğe konulduğu yani halihazırda oranların %10 ve %20 olduğu belirtildi.

Mevzuatta hala eski hali gözüküyor o yüzden umarım doğrudur. Şimdi olmasa bile KDV gibi vergilerde artışın olmayacağı bana pek inandırıcı gelmiyor. Vergiyle dönen bir ülkede buna inanmak zor.

When it comes to the semi final matchups my favourites are Real Madrid and PSG for the finale. Dortmund are indeed amazing in the Champions League this season. They are playing better here than the Bundesliga. I would really like to see them surprising people by qualifying for the finale.    One shouldn't forget that PSG are in this round thanks to Araujo's unnecessary red card.

For the most attracting matchup of the round I don't expect Real Madrid to fail. Ancelotti hasn't lost to Bayern Munich while managing Real Madrid (2 wins in 2 matches  ).

Bayern Munich are fully focused on the CL now. However they have a competitor which eliminated the most favourite already. Ancelotti really knows what he is doing.

Kanunsuz yapılan işlemlerin peşine düşülmesi tabi ki güzel bir şey. Diğer yandan sadece zengin olmayan kesime yüklenilmese daha iyi olacak. Her sıkışıldığında durumu sağlam olandan da almak yerine sadece sıradan vatandaşlara yüklenmek bana göre doğru bir hamle değil. Ayrıca orta direk diye bir şey de kalmadı aslında ama orta direğe yüklenmeye devam ettikçe iktidar tarafına oy kaybı olarak geri dönüşü de olur aynı geçen seçimdeki gibi.

IBAN konusunda hala birçok yer bunu yapıyor. Örneğin bir oto yıkamacı karttan ödeme kabul etmeyip ya nakit alıyor ya IBAN'a para istiyor gibi gibi. Bu saatten sonra neler olacak bakalım.

İlk gördüğümde markayı ortaya çıkaran ve kuran kişi kendisi sanmıştım. Meğerse başka bir adammış ve işi bu kadına devretmiş. Kadın ise geçen LinkedIn'deki şikayet içerikli yazıya verdiği cevap sonrasında büyük bir tepki çekti ki hak ettiğini de söylemeliyim. En başta kullandığı dil hem resmiyetten uzak hem de hatalarla dolu. Yüksek lisans diplomasının sahte çıkması da şaşırtmadı.  

Migros ve Carrefour'un hemen aksiyon alıp bu markanın ürünlerini raflardan kaldırmasını çok yerinde buldum. Marka o kadar profesyonellikten uzak hale getirilmiş ki yani küflenmiş ürün satıyorsun bir de utanmadan hakkını savunan kişiyi dava açmakla tehdit ediyorsun, değişik kafalar.  

Of course, I agree. I wouldn't like to be understood like I underestimate Guardiola. Because even if you have a big budget to use success isn't guaranteed.    There have been so many examples of it until this point. PSG could also be given as a good team example for this topic. PSG is very rich. However there have been many managers coming and going but still no Champions League title.

There is a clear fact that Guardiola is very good at managing a big budget efficiently and building a strong system with great players.

Apart from Manchester City he has achieved really good successes with Barcelona and Bayern Munich also. 

Leclerc's radio was left open without realizing and we were able to hear all he felt during the overtake attempt against Sainz in the Chinese GP. Leclerc complained about Sainz's competing him more than the other drivers later. I must admit that Leclerc was right about it also. 

Sainz just looks more aggressive this season definitely. He likes to push it to the limit in every race. Since Sainz heard that Ferrari wouldn't continue with him and signed Hamilton instead, he has been much more ambitious.

He looks like he wants to prove what Ferrari will miss... However as the driver they have agreed with is Hamilton I don't think Ferrari will be too sad. 

Congratulations to Inter on their 20th title in the Serie A! 

With this 20th title they have earned their 2nd star as well. This star system varies in European leagues a lot. While Serie A teams earn 1 star by every 10 titles some other leagues have it as 5 titles. The La Liga doesn't even have a star system.    Anyways, Juventus already have 3 stars with 36 titles...    Milan and Inter were sharing 19 titles and Inter managed to beat them to get the 2nd star first.

Inter fully deserved it though which I guess you think also. The board must be delighted with Inzaghi's work. His contract runs until 2025 for now but I don't have any doubt that they would extend it after this success.

I see a clear destruction by Aston Villa there.    The first leg is in England. Olympiacos will probably adopt a quite defensive game. However I don't expect Aston Villa to have serious issues with breaking it and getting a good advantage already.

Emery is working miracles with Aston Villa and I expect a satisfying win to finish the job in the first leg already. They are fighting for a Champions League spot in the Premier League also of course but I don't think this will affect their concentration level negatively.


Fiorentina were overwhelmingly good against Plzen. However the Plzen goalkeeper played his life matches.    Still Fiorentina managed to win by the goals they found in extra time. I expect a big effort from them against Club Brugge also and my favourite is them to reach the finale once again here.

Fiorentina missed the title chance to West Ham last year and it looks like it can happen against Aston Villa this time. 

Players like Yamal and Endrick's situation are really different. Yamal is 16 and Endrick is 17 years old now. Despite being very young they are already playing for their national teams. These national teams are not even weak ones. We are talking about Spain and Brazil. This must be one of the most attention getting things in football these days. 

Both players are mentioned as future stars. As long as they find chances like this wherever they play it wouldn't be surprising to see these players reaching a very high level in a shorter time period than normal.

There was a top 50 wonderkids ranking and it was like:

1. Yamal
2. Endrick

They have an enormous potential really. 

Liverpool'un Fulham karşısında hata yapmasını beklemiyorum. Aynı Arsenal'in amaçsız Wolves karşısında kazandığı gibi Liverpool'un da bunu gerçekleştirebilmesi lazım. Üst üste 2 puan kaybı yapmayı başarabiliyorlarsa zaten daha boşuna uğraşmasınlar. Manchester City'nin şakası yok ve Arsenal de geçen haftaki mağlubiyeti tam olmasa da telafi etti denilebilir.

Klopp Avrupa Ligi'nde turu geçemeyeceklerini anlayınca önemli oyuncularını erkenden oyundan almaya başlamıştı. Bunun karşılığını Premier Lig maçında alabilmeliler.
