By: Jan |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 […]
10 Things we learned from Matchday 30
By: Jan |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 […]
5 Things we learned from Matchday 29
By: Jan |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 […]
10 Things we learned from Matchday 28
By: Jan |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.

By: Jan |1. It have been tough 42 hours for Bremen.

10 Things we learned from Matchday 21
By: Jan |1. Sotirios Kyrgiakos is the Bundesliga’s Marco Matterazzi.
It wasn’t a World Cup final, it has yet to prove to be title deciding, but it at least shares some similarities with the infamous incident. Diego is - statistically approved - the most fouled player in the Bundesliga. A little fact that coincides with him being the […]
10 Things we learned from Matchday 20
By: Jan |As a true football blogger I always think it to be appropriate to be kept away from blogging with nothing less than a calf strain, a torn ligament in my left knee or a thigh injury. At the end of the day though it was just a common cold. And now regular scheduled blogging resumes.
