As I spend more time working in Istanbul I am converting my Turkish work colleagues to be Spurs fans !

Ridiculously it's easier to watch the premier league here than back in the UK so today we watched Spurs win and now we are watching Turkeys biggest game Galatasary vs Fernabache !

In the company I am working with we now have 5 new Spurs fans and they have been doing their homework about Spurs - both the current team and our history !

There are a lot of similarities with England , they love the premier league ( unfortunately before my arrival most liked the glory teams man utd , man city , arsenal and Chelsea ) and their football is the same with a focus on attacking but there fans are definitely louder and spend all the match singing - it's a fantastic atmosphere !
