	Alpay Unsure Of Villa Future (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Alpay apparently made a derogatory remark about Beckham’s mother which sparked a mini-riot in the tunnel at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium.
		Alpay, though, fears the English fans will turn against him after he heard that Villa’s supporters will no longer make him feel welcome at the club, leaving him to reconsider his future in the Premiership.
		Collina noted the tunnel bust-up and summoned Alpay and Beckham into his dressing room and told them to keep things calm in the second half, which means the 30 year-old centre-back is likely to escape further action.

	Alpay blames Beckham for Villa exit
		Alpay came under fire from the media and soccer fans after his much-publicised confrontation with Beckham during England's Euro 2004 qualifier against Turkey in Istanbul two weeks ago.
		Alpay taunted Beckham after he missed a penalty during the 0-0 draw that secured England's passage through to the European championship finals in Portugal next year and sent Turkey into a playoff with Latvia.
		Alpay, however, told a Turkish TV interviewer that Beckham had spat on his shirt and should be the first to apologise.

	‘Alpay And Angel Clash’ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Turkish international defender Alpay is said to be unpopular among his team-mates, especially the senior players, who have apparently approached manager Graham Taylor requesting for him not to be considered for the first-team.
		Alpay has only made four Premiership appearances this season and it looks as though he has to be content with life in the reserves, despite the club's current defensive crisis.
		Last week Alpay hit the headlines for refusing to play in the reserves and Taylor revealed that he could be offloading the defender.
