		Galatasaray struggled to beat gritty Samsunspor 3-2 at Istanbul's Ali Sami Yen Stadium (dubbed "Hell" by foreign fans) but it was hardly a rip-roaring performance by the Lions as coach Eric Gerets even admitted.
		The good news is that Cameroonian international defender Rigobert Song, whose cut on the eyebrow during the match required several stitches, is now fit as a fiddle and is very likely to make the starting XI against Fenerbahce on Wednesday.
		Samsun striker Tamer silenced the half-full Ali Sami Yen Stadium in the 42nd minute when his feeble shot from outside the box beat Galatasaray's Colombian keeper Ali Faryd Mondragon neat and clear.

		Chelsea had been promised hell but the Ali Sami Yen stadium turned out to be heaven for the Premiership team as Galatasaray slumped to a heavy defeat which ends any chance of the Turkish champions qualifying from Group H.

		There were some predictable banners - "Welcome to Ali Sami Yen Hell" and "Die for you Galatasaray" but the Turkish fans were generally quiet in the opening quarter-hour as Chelsea took the sting out of the game with some clever possession football.

	Your Favorite Stadium - RedCafe.net
		My favorite stadium is Dragon Stadium, it's the stadium of FC Porto and the first game played there was FC Porto 2 - 0 FC Barcelona on November 12 2003, it has a capacity for 50 000 and it was considered by the journalists of Euro 2004 as the best stadium of the tournament.
		Anfield road sucks, such a small stadium, lousy stands, Emirates Stadium looks very cool, but the current Arsenal stadium looks a medium stadium, even in portuguese league standards, there are some portuguese second division stadiums that are a lot better, ex: Aveiro's stadium or Algarve's Stadium.
		I admit the Dragao stadium is very impressive, I drove past it in March on my way to Figueira Da Foz from Chaves.
