Bayern Münih'in sezon bitmeden Xabi Alonso ile anlaşacağını sanmıyorum. Bana göre Tuchel gittikten sonra resmi teklif yaparlar. Ayrıca Xabi Alonso da zaten seçeneklerini değerlendirmek için yaz dönemini bekler. Bunun sebebi de muhtemelen Bayern Münih ona teklif götüren tek kulüp olmayacak. 

Xavi Barcelona'dan ayrılıyor ve aynı şekilde Klopp da Liverpool'dan sezon sonunda ayrılacak. Bence bu 2 takım da Xabi Alonso seçeneğini ciddi şekilde değerlendirecektir. Eğer Leverkusen'den ayrılmaya karar verirse bence Xabi Alonso'nun tercihi Liverpool ya da Bayern Münih olur. İkisinde de zamanında oyuncu olarak oynamıştı.

It is the truth. Barcelona were always building their game focused on Messi. Since he left the team Barcelona have been trying to renovate the squad to try new things. Have they been successful at doing it? I can't talk positively about that. Because they were terrible in the Champions League for 2 years straight for example. 

This season they might look like they have made progress but their group was just too easy for them. Now they will probably eliminate Napoli too but Napoli are also far away from their look in the last season.

Xavi is also leaving the team because of getting worse this season. Especially in terms of defending, they are just too bad. 

It is sad to see Ajax losing its rising trend once again. I think there is no way they can qualify for the Champions League group stage this season. Because I mean the gap with the 4th position is already 11 points and there is AZ Alkmaar between them also. There is a miracle needed for Ajax in the remaining 11 weeks...    But many big teams have this kind of a transition period sometimes. I hope they get better next season.

It has been such a joy to watch PSV play until this point by the way.    No lose in 23 matches is pretty impressive. But I feel like they will be eliminated by Dortmund in the Champions League. What do you think?

If Adrian Newey joins Ferrari it would make tremendous impact in Formula 1.    He must be like the best designer this sport have now. With his new designs for Ferrari they can upset the balances a lot. But Ferrari would still need a better crew to make sure of not making simple mistakes in pit especially.    The thing that has been dragging them down the most so far is the unbelievable mistakes the crew have made.

Yeah in that case Hamilton would really like to achieve his 8th championship to break the record. But considering Ferrari don't have a main driver policy they might still want to let Leclerc and Hamilton fight against each other. In that case Leclerc can still do his best. 

Xhaka'nın gol sevincini fifacılar iyi bilirler.    Çok yaygın bir sevinç türü değil tabi ondan Xabi Alonso bile bir anlığına sakatlandığına inanmış gibi göründü. Leverkusen için çok kolay bir maç olmasa da yine kazanmayı başardılar. Şampiyonluğa bir adım daha yaklaştılar ve puan farkı 8'ken ben bu durumun tersine döneceğini sanmıyorum.

Bayern Münih hala oyun anlamında sıkıntılar çekiyor. Kane Leipzig maçında takımı iyi kurtarsa da nereye kadar böyle gidecekler belli değil. Üst üste gelen puan kayıpları şampiyonluğa olan inancı şüphesiz azaltmıştır. 11 senelik şampiyonluk serisi sonunda sona erecek gibi.

Ülkede uzun zamandır bir yasaklama geleneği tutturuldu gidiyor. Bir şeyi yasaklama yerine başka ne yapılabilir, bu niye böyle gibi sorular sorulmuyor. Her şeyin kolayına kaçmayı seviyoruz. Kick'e bildiğim kadarıyla casino yayınlarını TR tarafına kapatmaları ile ilgili bir uyarı bile gelmemiş. İbrahim Haskoloğlu adındaki gazetecinin Kick hakkında şikayette bulunması ile bu olayların başladığı söyleniyor. Kick Türkiye temsilcisi gerekli şartları sağladıklarını ve BTK'nin siteyi tekrar erişime açmasını beklediklerini ifade etmiş ama bakalım neler olacak.

You are right about your doubts and I also feel the same about him.    It is like we don't have the same old Perez we know. He was much more ambitious and successful in the past. I don't want to link this with his age (34) to be honest. Because there is a great example like Alonso. He is 42 years old but still cooking. 

It is like Perez has lost his concentration for some reason. It was seen especially in the second part of last season. Even in his home Grand Prix he was out of the race at the start because of an individual mistake. He needs to collect himself otherwise I don't think Helmut Marko would like to see him at the team anymore.

It is good that you mentioned VAR as well. It brought really bad decision made to my mind even though the league has a really nice system like VAR. It is really shameful to see simple mistakes with even a useful technology in hand. These systems are developed to help the referees but some referees are still managing to leave a bad impact on a match with bad decisions. 



I agree about Arsenal's goal potential. We have seen it in a couple of PL matches they played not much time ago. They did it against Newcastle yesterday too. They are the second most scoring team of the season now but I don't know if this would end up with their championship. We need to see what they will do on the last weeks of the season.

Some small teams are quite likely to make surprises in the Europa League. It has always been like this but it happens until a point. I can't say Qarabag have much chance to move on from now on. I must appreciate their fighter character against Braga. That amazing effort resulted in achieving a big victory at the end.

But is there anyone who really thinks Qarabag can do the same against Leverkusen? The best I can expect from Qarabag is to show some resistance home in the first leg.

But Leverkusen are just one of the biggest title contenders here. No way they are saying goodbye in this round.  

This clause really doesn't make sense at all. How would Red Bull accept this? I guess they were too confident about not losing any of Newey and Horner then. Now there is this serious situation going on at the team.

But I don't think Red Bull will sack Horner or he will decide to leave by his own decision in the upcoming days. There is no need to cause this crisis to get bigger. No Newey might even mean the end of a dominance era for Red Bull. 


Indeed but I don't think this change will be seen either this season or in the next one. 2026 season is promising about a lot of changes. The cars are planned to be built smaller too.

Bu arada bu lüks araçlar hakkında hala bir değişiklik yok gibi görünüyor. Geçenlerde sosyal medyada hala bu araçların Emniyet Müdürlüğü kontrolünde olduğunu gösteren videolara rastladım. Gerçekten neden hala bu konuda doğru olan yapılmıyor ki? Ne gerek var bir devlet kurumuna böyle bir yük bindirmeye? Bu araçların yakıtı, bakımı vesaire derken bir ton para harcanması gerekecek. Hava atmak için gereksiz harcamalar yapılmamalı.

Refahı çok üst düzey ülkelerde bile ben polislerin Ferrari'ye, Taycan'a falan bindiğini görmedim. Çünkü özetle bu bir israftır.

It was soo close for my parlay to win but unfortunately... 

Inter had a really effective game and gave me what I wanted. But Dortmund couldn't. If they were at least able to stay more solid in defense then they could have secured a 1-0 win. I wish I bet on a draw for the Dortmund match. But it is easy to say after seeing the result. 

I guess Inter and Dortmund both would manage to reach the quarter finals. It would be easier for Dortmund but about Inter it is likely to be really tough. Atletico Madrid wouldn't give up that easy at Metropolitano Stadium.

2021 sonlarından itibaren enflasyon ciddi oranda artış göstermiş. Bir de enflasyon oranı sanki daha da geriliyormuş gibi gösterilmeye çalışılıyor ama ne yazık ki durum bunun aksi yönünde. 2023'te yıllık enflasyonun gerçekten %64 olduğuna kim inanabilir ki?    Düzenli alışverişini yapan birisi zaten bu oranın çok daha yukarda olduğunu biliyor.

Son günlerde enflasyon rakamlarının yavaş yavaş tek haneye gideceğinin altı çok çizilmeye başladı. Veriler hep olduğundan daha da düşük gösterilerek böyle bir şey yapılırsa da şaşırmam. Enflasyona çözüm üretmiyoruz sadece göz boyuyoruz.

Arsenal are returning to the Premier League after losing to Porto in the Champions League disappointingly. The fans are hoping for a strong performance to make up for that loss. Because of the much worse look of Newcastle compared to last season I don't think Arsenal will lose points at Emirates. Arsenal are already in an incredible form here - a 5-win streak.

What do you think about Arsenal's PL title chance this year?    Truthfully I can't be much positive about it because of knowing their character. It feels like they will waste their potential chances just as last season.

As long as Manchester City don't become champions I'm okay with any other team. 

TÜİK'in yaptığı herhangi bir araştırmaya veya paylaştığı veriye tam anlamıyla güvenebilen var mı? Artık o noktayı maalesef çoktan geçtik çünkü TÜİK bağımsız bir kurum gibi davranmıyor. Bu açıklanan mutluluk oranları da açıkçası gerçeği yansıtmıyor. En kısadan gençleri ele alalım. Gençler geleceğine nasıl umutla bakabilir? Ülke ekonomi, işsizlik, mülteciler gibi bir ton sorun ile boğuşurken gençler hakkında böyle bir oran açıklamak çok iyimserlik oluyor.

Üretime verilen destek artık yetersiz bir seviyeye gelmeye başladığı için doğru düzgün bir üretim gerçekleştiremiyoruz. Bunun da çözümünü bu sorunun üzerine gitmek yerine kolaya kaçarak vergi artırımında bulmaya çalışıyorlar. Bu asla bir çözüm olmayacak. Ülke resmen vergi gelirleri sayesinde ayakta kalır hale geldi. Özellikle ÖTV gelirleri olmasa herhalde ülkenin tam anlamıyla batışı gerçekleşirdi.

Geçenlerde Mehmet Şimşek de kayıt dışı olayların üzerine gidecekleri ile ilgili bir açıklama yapmıştı sanırım. Bunun yerine öncelik, alınan vergilerin hafifletilmesi için bir yol bulmak olmalı.

Juventus have already given up earlier obviously. 2 points in 4 weeks... This is horrible for a team challenging for the title. Inter deserve the championship all the way.    They are really giving football lessons to their opponents this season. There was already a significant progress in their performance after the latest World Cup organization.

They started to make their defending better then and now they are the best in the Serie A in terms of scoring and defending both.   

Martinez has played a really serious role by 20 goals too but the thing I like about them the most is their not relying on a specific player anyway. It is a big joy to watch the way they perform as a team.

Another drain cover problem, huh?     It looks like FIA hasn't still learned its lesson from last season. If you don't remember a similar problem occurred at Las Vegas track which caused Sainz's car to take serious damage. 

FIA should act more carefully for the safety of the drivers. But it looks like they are still not completing full checks for tracks before the start of a weekend. I hope this doesn't cause another driver to have problems because of negligence of FIA.


Adrian Newey is a blessing for Red Bull who is adored for his works.    He has extended his contract too so I think we are likely to see Red Bull dominance in not only 2024 but also 2025 season. I can't say anything about 2026 season yet as there are many changes on the way.

Is it really due to having the EFL Cup finale at the weekend? Because I saw it like he had a thigh injury that was why he couldn't play on a source. I hope he isn't injured once again. This would be devastating for the fans and people who don't want Manchester City to become PL champions once again.     I hope you are right and Klopp just wanted not to risk him before the finale.

I really don't understand some websites. Sometimes they write like a player is injured and won't play. But on matchday we see that player in the starting eleven or on the bench... They should be more careful with sharing news.

It is rematch day! Galatasaray are going to Prague to finish the job which won't be very easy as it looked from the first leg.    I wonder if Galatasaray will be able to improve their defending here. Because their biggest vulnerability was this in the first leg which caused them to concede 2 goals. It could have been worse if it weren't for Muslera's crucial saves.

I'm thinking of adding both teams to score @1.48 to my parlay. Because I don't think this will be a one-sided match this time also. What do you think?
