		Anelka was a key player in Arsenal's "The Double" win, of both Premier League championship and FA Cup trophy that season.
		However, his form was remarkably worse than it had been at Arsenal – scoring only four goals in 29 appearances – and his inability to mix with his teammates (with the exception of good friend Steve McManaman) as well as to cope with media attention led to him leaving in the summer of 2000.
		Anelka stayed on at the Turkish club where he played with them in the UEFA Champions League, but they finished bottom of their group.

		With only five weeks remaining to the end of the 2006-07 Turkcell Super League season, the Galatasaray foreign player crisis has taken a turn for the worse.
		While Cameroon international defender Rigobert Song had a heated argument with coach Eric Gerets during the away game at Gaziantep earlier in the league’s second half, Sasha Ilic, who was red-carded in the Kayseri Erciyes game, got his share of the backlash from club Vice-Chairman Adnan Polat.
		Song, known for his hard tackles, is -- along with Zinedine Zidane -- the only player to have been sent off in two different World Cups, however Ilic made an excellent start to the season by scoring five goals in four Turkish Premier Super League matches.

		The Champions League and FA Cup in successive seasons should have secured Rafael Benitez in the affections of the red half of Merseyside, but the Holy Grail for Liverpool is the league title - and so far, this season looks like being another barren one on that front.
		Dalglish delivered three League titles and two FA Cups, but the emotional strain following the Hillsborough tragedy of 1989 took its toll on him, and he stunned the football world by resigning early in 1991 with the Reds locked in another battle with Arsenal for the championship.
		Champions League qualification by virtue of finishing fourth in the Premiership was considered inadequate compensation by the club"s legion of fans.

		It means that to retain the Champions League title Liverpool would have to play 19 matches, the first four in July and the first week of August, when they had planned a two-match tour to Japan.
		Manchester City, who finished eighth in the Premier League, had hoped to take the UEFA Cup slot vacated by Liverpool but UEFA said that would not be the case and no extra club would go into the second-tier competition.

	Record fine for Turkish GP organisers - Motorsport - Sport - smh.com.au
		Turkish Grand Prix organisers were fined a record $US5 million ($6.63 million) for inviting a Turkish Cypriot leader to hand out the trophies after last month's Formula One race in Istanbul.
		The furore erupted after Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat, introduced to millions of viewers around the world as the 'President of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus', presented the winner's trophy to Ferrari's Felipe Massa.
		It found the National Sporting Authority of Turkey (TOSFED) and the organisers of the Turkish Grand Prix (MSO) guilty of breaking FIA statutes, the international sporting code and Formula One regulations and imposed the fine jointly.

		The first of six Turkish Premier Super League Titles came in 1993 and a further four followed in 1994, 1997, 1998 and 1999.
		The signing of the then Turkish International proved to be one of the best, if not the best signings made by Souness during his time with Rovers although the arrival of Friedel could rival this claim.

		While Milan were still bossing the Italian Serie A (the top soccer league), LFC were struggling to match the pace of the up -and-comers of the English Premier League (EPL).
		The 2005 Champions League match will probably never be matched for drama - from the depressing low of humiliation to the euphoric high of last-second victory (reverse that if you suport AC Milan).

	© burçin tuncer - liverpool vs galatasaray
		Having an unfortunate start at home in the Turkish Super League, Galatasaray challenged Liverpool, disappointed by its own performance in the first 6 weeks of the Premier League, in Anfield.
		Galatasaray laid bare all its defects in protecting the wings during the last match played in the league, allowing Ersen Martin from Trabzonspor to score two goals and thus attracting the attention of Benitez.
		Completing the first half 2-0, an unbecoming one for a Champions League competition, the Turkish team started the second half with two changes in tactics: Cihan Hapolatlı and Mehmet Topal were substituted by Hasan Sas and Umit Karan.

		Despite winning their last three domestic games, two in the league and one in the Cup, the Lions have come under fire for failing to turn on the style.
		The last three results: A 2-1 league win over cellar-dweller Kayserispor, victory over Bursa by the same score in the Cup and a win by the slightest of margins, 1-0, over Ankara's Gençlerbirliği in the league on Saturday.

	RTÉ Sport: Uefa Reds ruling imminent
		The title-holders are usually guaranteed an automatic place in the group stage but that scenario is highly unlikely and, indeed, Liverpool themselves would be content with a place in the final qualifying round.
		There have been suggestions a minnow from Andorra or San Marino would have to be bumped out of the earlier rounds but clubs from these countries only take part in the UEFA Cup anyway.
		UEFA sources say under the most likely scenario the Slovakian champions - their league is not yet over - would play an extra qualifying round and be compensated by the country being given an extra UEFA Cup place.

		Overcoming the final hurdle and entering the league will be anything but easy, however, as Levski fell to Turkish vice-champion Galatassaray 2-1 last week.
		The Turkish team is no stranger to success, bringing with it the experience and self-esteem of the Champions League, while Levski has only ever made it to the second preliminary round (last year when it was beaten by another Istanbul team, Beshiktash).
		This is more than the budgets of all the clubs in the Bulgarian premier league combined.
