Four Of Clubs Turkish Super Lig still throwing up some odd results - particularly intriguing at the bottom end too....
Ankaragücü have been in last place for much of this year - have now won 3 in a row , following a 3-0 thumping of Göztepe, to clamber out of the drop zone for the moment. Their near neighbours Genclerbirligi having suffered a poor run of results to sink to the bottom.
However earlier today saw Gençlerbirligi shock Mesut Ozil's high-flyers Fenerbahce 2-1 in their own stadium.
Last season's surprise champions Basaksehir were beaten at home by Besiktas and drop back ino the bottom four.
Besiktas jump into top spot following a run of 5 straight wins.

Basaksehir were not surprise champions last year btw. They have been right on the verge of winning it for a few years and 2 years ago they were top with 2 games to go then blew it, much to Turkish football fans amusement. They are the Governments club and have had serious financial backing.

...agreed - hadn't noticed their recent (assisted) 'leap forward' - thought I ought to look 'em up (wiki) : not been outside top four since they rejoined the Super Lig five or six seasons back.....
...only became professional early 90s so not what might considered to be a contender outside the big 'top three' Istanbul outfits - probably above Kasimspor and Fatih now though - so perhaps a claim to be part of a 'big four' - unless of course they drop down this term?
Up to the 80s perhaps Trabzon might have been regarded as a top side but since their last win in 84 only Bursar have taken the title out of Istanbul once, in 2010.

Winston Biscuit Eintracht Frankfurt win and Dortmund draw meaning the latter are in 5th place, 4 points behind the former.
They play each other next weekend in what effectively could be the decider for who gets the final Champions League spot

I may be in a small minority but I tend to find those sort of free kick goals a bit meh.
He's just walloped it and hoped for the best, caught it well and nice to watch but feels like the sort of goal anybody could score if they hit it hard enough.

Knuckleballs are extremely hard

Hendo It also doesn't make any sense as you don't have knuckles on your feet.
You have a knuckleball in cricket, but that actually means something as you deliver the ball from your knuckles:
It is also oxf*rd difficult.

Ah, the old I know nothing argument - touche.
Not saying they aren't hard - still stand by my view that sort of goal could just be scored by anyone as there is a large amount of hit and hope about it - naturally a professional will do it much much more but there is a hell of a lot out of his control i.e. he can't control when the dip will begin, just that it will dip - just prefer my free-kick goals to have a bit of guile about them - prefer a great routine rather than a hit - would take say, Meite's goal at Bristol a couple of seasons back over that one.. So yeah, nice but, for me, a bit meh.
