It has been a bleak season for VfL Bochum. The club sits 17th in the table, switched coaches instead of fortunes and only had Hertha Berlin to cheer them up.

A Final Farewell to Robert Enke
By: Jan | 1 Comment
Eight days ago I tried to read up on African Champions League winners TP Mazembe, while keeping an eye on the game between Hannover and Hamburg.
