I like football very much and my favourite team is Manchester United.It is my main aim to either improve my English or establish friendships and share our views to each other.
Best wishes!
Emre Ekici

hi emre hope you enjoy the forum

I am sure that i will mate.

Welcome Emre, even if you do support United

g'day mate! You already shown me up in another thread, looking forward to some great banter

Welcome to the forum
How is Istanbul this time of year.
Nice to have another United fan join the forum

Welcome and enjoy.

Welcome!

Hi Emre , welcome to the forum. God to have another Utd supporter among us

Welcome Emre - shame you have to support that team though

Thank you very much for your posts mates.
It is really so nice to be here.
Dear Dave,thank you very much for your interest even if you support Liverpool
Aussie I suspect you always look for a joke but I couldn't realize exactly dou you support Reds or Liverpool?
O Dogg our worthy admin,I suppose that you have come to Istanbul before.Istanbul is now neither so hot nor so cold but there is a dry cold weather nowadays.If there is anyone who is intending to be coming in Istanbul,I can help as possible as I can.By the way I am a big United fan as well that is quite true.I have got even a cardigan with Manchester United design.
By the way twmcat,you must be a Liverpool fan.I can immediately understand cause only Liverpool supporters tell these sort of sentences
I wonder whether how many times did Liverpool win the title in Premier League?
I can hear your answer from Istanbul...nil

Twmcat is actually an Arsenal fan.
As for me, I have never visited Istanbul, however I have been to Marmaris a few times.

I support Liverpool who are the Reds...unless you thought I supported the Red Devils?

Marmaris is a nice touristical place in Aegean side of Turkey in Muğla city.I have been there as well almost 7 years ago.Marmaris should be cold now but not as cold as Istanbul.After 2 months,tourism season will start again there.

[/quote] I support Liverpool who are the Reds...unless you thought I supported the Red Devils?

I thought you were supporting Reds anyway.We have got respect to Liverpool fans,too.
Meanwhile I still don't want to see Liverpool as a champion in Premier League and i am sure I won't be able to see Liverpool has got the title in Premier League cause my life won't be enough.
Come to spport Reds dear Austie don't you come?Liverpool kills man but United delight man.
Yours sincerely

Hey Emre - so you thought I was a Liverpool fan

As an Arsenal fan, I must admit we've only won the Premiership 3 times (4 after this season ).
But we won 2 of the last 4 of the old-style league titles.

And we never went 26 years between titles

Hi there twmcat.
Yes I thought you were a Liverpool fan before.
You are the leader of Premier league this year but it is really still so early to talk about championship.
Nothing is obvious now.
By the way you are absolutely too right.Because we have waited 26 years for title but it is so obvious that Manchester United is nowadays strongest team in the planet.Especially at the stability hand.In this case,as Manchester United community,we are debtor a lot to Sir Alex Ferguson.He has simply created this team again given the soul which was looking for it's old succesfull days.
and don't forget,there is only one footbal club in the planet which had won 3 titles in one year.
We have won Premier League,F.A Cup and Champions League at the same season.There is not any other football club in the world which had make a success like that before.
Thank you very much to your interest at my subject.
Best Wishes!
Emre

If only Dennis Bergkamp has scored that penalty just before the end of normal time in the FA Cup semi final in 1999, and if the referee blew the final whistle a bit earlier in the European final

Welcome to the forum Emre, always good to have the opinion of someone in or from a foreign country. Please stick around and post your views, this forum is getting over run by Arsenal fans hopefully you can help us beat them down

Hope you enjoy your stay

A typical Welshman is YoBBo - likes to bend the truth, like I do too

Welcome to the forum Emre

Welcome to the forum Emre, hope you stick around & enjoy!

Dear Twmcat,if onlies in our life don't let us to win anything as well as you know.:
This is not valid only in football it is also valid in our life on the contrary.I mean there is a reality in the world and that is the success of Reds that is for sure.Dennis Begkamp missed the penalty and you lost that is the real one but as a result Manchester could beat Arsenal.Then he mustn't had to miss the penalty.In the European cup,referee had to blow the final whistle a little bit earlier than that but there is a real that he blowed the whistle and Reds were the champions.
We can't escape from realities. : my mate.

Dear Yobbo;It is always so nice to match with your interests in a forum and to be honest,i am not feeling myself here as a foreigner at all by means of you.Thank you very much to all of you.Especially i have to say in forum sites of Turkey,moderators and admins never join to your topics as if they are president of a country:D: but here I saw contrary of it.Everyone is so cordial.
I was always thinking before that you would all racialist and nationalist people but i understood how a mistake it is.Usually people know you and introduce you in Turkey as racialist people but I believe sincerely that nobody is same after that.In this case i wanted to apologize from all of you.Liverpool and Arsenal supporters,from you as well:D:
Let's get back to the football if you forgave me.You are right Yobbo.I have realized that there are a plenty Arsenal fans in forum but don't worry we will be a guide to them and they will find the true way in the end.:

Dear Tez Arne thanks a lot.I am really to much pleased to saw photo of Emre Belözoğlu.I want to thank you a lot for your kind manner.Emre Belözoğlu can be considered my big brother because I have seen him a lot of times when he was playing football.He is 6 years older than me and he started to football in Zeytinburnuspor Klübü which is a team in 2. or 3.league in Turkey.
Zeytinburnu is a place which is so close to our former home.
We were 7-8 years old and he was 14 or something like that and we were watching him in soil field of Zeytinburnu.It was obvious formerly that he would be a good player.Then Galatasaray has transfered it and than to Newcastle...Thanks a lot again.

Dear Sparkyjinx
I am absolutely so sure that i will stick around and have a lot of fun in this forum by means of your interests and sincerety.Thank you very much and I want to congragulate you for you to be member of the month.

Hello Emre.Welcome to the forum mate.There is a Turkish guy on this forum who has a bet with a Welsh member that Fenebahce will win the Champions League!Do you have a favourite Turkish team?My friend Senol supports Galatasuray.

Hello Kim.
Thank you and who is the other Turkish friend do you know what is his nick?
Yes I support fenerbahçe in turkish League which is eternal rival of Galatasaray. :d
We win Galatasaray in every match but still ı can't bet that Fenerbahçe will win title in Champions League because Fenerbahçe is a less experienced team than like United,Barcelona.
My favourite team is Manchester United and I hope we will take the title in giants League.

Which team do you support?

aah he signed for Galatasaray, that must have hurt you slightly being a Fenerbahçe fan. Emre is a quality player. He's probably the most creative player that Newcastle have at the moment, they really need him.
