Congratulations to my second favourite team - Galatasaray - on winning the Turkish league..!!
Were there any celebrations in Kalkan last night..??
It is D-Day for my our favourite team - Reading - make or break match this afternoon - so will it be celebration or relegation.... :o
-
I can feel the pressure from here Felicity!
We too are under pressure this morning as my 10 year old son prepares for playing in the Mid Wiltshire Under 10''s cup final. Just hope it doesn''t go to penalties. (Every Mum''s nightmare!!!)
Will post the result later!
Good luck Reading.
;)

Well I''m afraid that there will be no noisy celebrations in Reading tonight... :( Despite a magnificent win away at Derby (4:0) - they are still relegated due to an unexpected win from Fulham.. :o So we are all gutted - but will enjoy Galatasaray''s win instead with a beer to enjoy this magnificent weather 8) 8) we are having and try to drown our sorrows..!!! ;)
Who wants to compete with the big boys anyway..!! :o
-
Very different here in Motherwell. We managed 3rd in the league so we''re in EUEFA cup next season ;D
Unbelievable considering the season we''ve had and the tragedy of our captain Phil O''Donnell collapsing and dying on the pitch in December. Like to think we did it for him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Felicity!! i feel your pain!!..brum is my home town although it''s some years since i lived there i am still a blue nose!! we dropped down as well ...your in good company!!...however Fenerbache are my turkish team!! and in the abscence of rubbish England i can look forward to shouting for Turkey in the Euros..excuse me while i dry my tears!!! :(
-
Yep - we too are supporting Turkey in the absence of England...let''s drown our sorrows tonight Blue Lizard.. :( (and forget our differences over Galatasaray V Fenerbahce..! ;) LOL!)
-
Feel your pain Blue Lizard. James McFadden came up through the ranks with us and was an outstanding player as well as a lovely person. When he moved to Birmingham really hoped he''d do the business and help keep you up but wasn''t to be unfortunately. Another link with us at Motherwell is Alex McLeish who was our manager a good few years ago now. Never really rated him but still hoped he''d do well. Sure next season you''ll bounce back!
-
kind words ..i thank you!! i can''t even go to the pub as i''m surrounded by Pompey fans and they will give me cranium megahurt!! i will retire in the comfort of my own home...weeping into my lager !! :(
-
Just got back from Fratton park bad news we lost 1-o to Fulam which means Reading go down,,even worse they won today poor old Steve Coppell......
-
Hey - Misty - glad you are feeling our pain.....should have read up a few posts...LOL..!! It was bad news indeed - with that magnificient display from Reading...we are gutted that Pompey didn''t do the biz >:( ....and then Blue Lizard might have been able to go out and drown his sorrows....never mind..its only a game... ;)
Time to have a beer and weep into it..! ;)
-
Sorry we couldnt help you......it would have been nice to win the last home game...but we are saving ourselves for the FA cup next week.
-
I feel for you Felicity and other Reading fans out there however I am a rather happy chappy tonight because my sons team won their cup final 3-2 after extra time. Thank goodness it didn''t go to penalties. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
-
Get Saints to sign him up LOL
-
As a Saints fan like his Dad, he would love to play for them but I''''ve told him to aim higher!!!! ;D ;D
-
Pompey ????????????????
-
Hey Clooneyrooney - glad SOMEBODY had a good result...maybe Steve Coppell might like to sign him.... >:D We need a few more good players..!! (and after that - Blue Lizard might elect him for Brum and of course then - Pompey - who SO failed to help us out today (thanks Misty for your kind words.... :() ..!!
Hey ho - another beer calls..!! ;D
-
I really like Steve Coppell he is always so magnanomous in defeat never blames the ref etc unlike so many others...top man
-
His team mates call him "kemmodinho" so perhaps Barcelona beckons!!!!
He has just said that he would rather play for Arsenal ladies team than Pompey. LOL ;D ;D ;D
-
Ha ha well I''m just having a cold Efes.....yes in the UK
-
in my time of deep pain,i decided to think of things to cheer me up!! thoughts of Kalkan came to mind!!.......................that didn''t work! then Angelina Jolie popped round my house and bathed my brow whilst saying "there, there Blue Lizard...it''s all a nasty dream,Blues are still in the prem"...she then fed me grapes before tickling my feet and cheering me up......i now believe things are better!! ;D ;D
-
Felicity- unexpected win by Fulham? We have won 4 out of 5 of our last matches. My only sadness was having to watch it on computer in Kalkan rather than being there, however as Reading have lots of our old players I commiserated to them and the supporters , getting out of the championship is tough. At least when I am in the UK I can still watch Premiership football!
-
Hi Mercimek - only ''unexpected'' in so far as - playing and winning :o against a team so high in the table....something that Reading has failed to do... :( - anyway as my son pointed out to me - the plus side is that his season ticket should be cheaper next season..!! ;)
-
Felicity, as a Liverpool season ticket holder I have to correct you when you say you didn''t win against teams higher in the table...you had a very good 3-1 win against us earlier in the season and add that to a credible draw against Man U on the opening day - there''s 4 points you took off the top 4 sides :) I''m sorry you went down, I know some people involved in the club and they are devastated :(
Anyway, Feds...mixed emotions in our house, whilst I''m die hard red, my BH is die hard blue of Everton - and a season ticket holder (can you imagine the fun and games in our house on derby days?? ::) ::)....plus he''s Welsh and I''m English just to make it doubly difficult when our national sides meet in any sport!! Joy!!! Now throw into the mix our eldest daughter''s boyfriend is a Villa season ticket holder...and you get the picture!!! They travelled down to West Ham and came back deflated...although Will get Melberg''s shirt!! BH is delighted, naturally. I''m sorry for Mrs Fed, but Everton did spend most of the season up in 4th or 5th, so you have to say they deserve it....you will note I''m not a bitter red ;)
-
Hi Kalkan4eva - thanks for those cheery words as we are still crying in our beers... :( Yes - those highlights of earlier in the season are well forgotten...but we are standing behind our man - Steve Coppell - there was a big demo of support around his car park space last night at the Madjeski - so fingers crossed - he won''t leave..!! ::)
Mmm...what a battle you must have in your household..!! i don''t envy you!! :o
-
mmmmmmmmmmmm..big demo of support round his car park space..how big is a Reliant Robins space?..Only kidding felicity!! hope he stays and they give him better financial backing :-*
-
Hi Felicity
We too are season ticket holders at Reading, and are ever hopeful that the price will go down next season - there has to be some advantages being in the Championship! But, the economy being as it is, and Madjeski being the business man that he is, lets not bank on it eh?
We are in Kalkan 9th to 13th June, are you out there then? if so, we''ll have to meet up for a beer and drown our Reading sorrows together!

The subject line of Galatasaray Celebrations attracted my eye but alas there is nothing actually about the celebrations in Kalkan! Anyway, it seems to me that the overall subject of football has been well supported so is it possible to have fottball as a ''special'' subject on it''s own? John?
I am a (long suffering) Spurs supporter. Will we keep Berbie this summer? I can only hope so!

Diane
At last, a fellow believer!! Just when I was almost prepared to have a drink with a Brum fan.....
I''m from a few miles of the Lane and have followed them since infancy, 40+ years ago (or six months ago, if you ask my wife).
Rumours here of Spurs chasing a young whippersnapper called Arda Turan from Gala...... What does anyone know about him, bringing the subject cleverly back to the Cimbom?
-
methinks tis because you would rather drink with a nice lady .......i take no offence...just remember when the conversation turns to shopping and hairstyles and your ears are about to explode..you could have hasd a beer with a geezer!! ;D >:D
-
Fair point. We arrive on 4 July, so will be in the Swan soon after that. Hopefully, Berba will still be at the Lane. Perhaps we can all discuss his hairstyle and who Ramos is shopping for!
