2011-2012 Turkish Super Lig Season Review

Turkish Super Lig has had its problems recently with attendance down, match fixing allegations, and crowd trouble although on the pitch the league has been exciting to follow. Galatasaray and Fenerbahce still dominate the league, Galatasaray tying their rivals with their 18th league title in 2011-2012 but clubs such as Bestiktas, Trabzonspor and Bursaspor also pose a title threat. There has also been great individual performances including the career of Fenerbahce's Alex, Bestikas Portuguese trio of Fernandes, Quaresma & Almeida, Galatasaray's Selcuk Inan and  Trabzonspor Burak Yilmaz who scored 32 regular season goals, 17 more than any other player in the league.
