It was a busy week of Bundesliga football. And it was a busy week for me as well, so I focused my attention on the inevitable and the ugly. But there was more happening in the league, and it’s time to catch up with it in this double header edition.
1. Bremen and Schalke win Champions […]

1. Only math stands in Bayern’s way now.
Bayern beat Stuttgart 4-1 on Sunday. Angela blogged about how it happened and then Anna blogged about why it happened. Now I blog about how Bayern top the table with a 12 point lead. 20 goals stand between them and Werder Bremen. 24 goals stand between them and […]
Masters of Space and Time

When I was a kid, Dr. Emmett Brown taught me, that certain interventions into the past or future could create a time paradox and cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space-time continuum and destroy the entire universe. That’s the worst case scenario.
Sunday’s match between Nuremberg and Wolfsburg was a […]

1. The truth behind Mirko Slomka’s dismissal.
Mirko Slomka got fired on Sunday. The same Sunday Kevin Kuranyi put on his serious face and told reporters that Schalke had lost a very good coach, who every player loves to work with. Then he put on his sad face. Then he said OK. Then he drove away […]

1. Nuremberg can no longer finish their matches.
Last week Nuremberg’s match against Frankfurt was stopped for 20 minutes, after some people from Nuremberg’s travelling support burned firecrackers and threw a flare onto the pitch. This Friday Nuremberg’s match against Wolfsburg got abandoned after heavy rain rendered the pitch unplayable. A Bundesliga first. Nuremberg were leading […]

1. Nothing.
The teams at the top of the table couldn’t win their games. The teams at the bottom of the table didn’t lose their games. As such no team gained a lot of ground, nor did any team lose a lot of ground. And when the six best teams in the league don’t do their […]

I spent my weekend telling lies to my relatives, which depending on their age were about bunnies and candy, and depending on their favourite team, were about how Hamburg or Bremen still have a chance of winning the title. It was an entertaining diversion from the world of hard facts and truth here at the […]

1. Luca Toni goes down easily.
Call him a diver or an opportunist. When Bayern were trailing 1-0 at Cottbus, Luca Toni worked the slightest contact to his maximum advantage. He lost control of his body, fell to the ground and was awarded a questionable penalty for his troubles. But it was meant to be Cottbus’ […]

1. It have been tough 42 hours for Bremen.
You can heap quite a bit of misery on a club in a timeframe of just 42 hours. First Tim Wiese helped Glasgow Rangers to a comfortable 2-0 home win in the UEFA Cup. Then Werder was forced to announce, that they had to cancel their planned […]

1. A lesson in the fine art of self destruction by Schalke 04.
The merits of having the club’s president publicly lame ducking a coach are generally questionable. Doing so ahead of two of the most crucial fixtures of the season is attention seeking, mistimed and pure idiocy at best. While Schalke’s sporting director Andreas Müller […]
