In this mega episode Sinan and Kaan discuss the results of the recent presidential elections, the poor form and abyssmal performances of the team in Europe and in the recent derby against Fenerbahçe. And of course our hosts talk about the big elephant in the room: the drastic measures taken by the club against the seemingly out of control dressing room by dropping 5 players from the squad.

It's been two weeks since we last spoke! So it's time to recap the past 2,5 weeks int he world of the Black Eagles.
Beşiktaş were unceremoniously eliminated from the UEFA Conference league following a 1-2 loss against Bodo/Glimt and to add insult to injury were beaten on the following weekend in Antalya, despite taking the lead just before halftime. Burak Yilmaz resigned after these two results and Rıza Çalımbay stept up to the plate to ferry Beşiktaş back to shore. Ante Rebic steals the show in Riza's debut match as new head coach (vs Basaksehir).
Finally we talk about the upcoming elections and we talk about both candidates: Serdal Adali and (mostly) Hasan Arat. Are you #TeamADALI or #TeamARAT? Let us know on Twitter/X!

Sinan and Kaan are back with a brand new episode following the matches in the Cofnerence League against Bodø/Glimt and Gaziantep FK in the Süper Lig.
The Black Eagles suffered yet another disappointing defeat in Europe and are now in a position where they'll have to beat the Norweghian side next week if they want any chance at advancing out of the groups. In the league Beşiktaş faired better as they managed to beat Gaziantep at home thanks to goals from Salih Uçan and Cenk Tosun.
