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 […]

Snapshot: Two-in-One

I have the rare honour to spell the names Valeri Domovchiyski and Lukas Sinkiewicz in the same sentence. Valeri plays for Hertha and Lukas plays for Leverkusen. The two played against each other on Wednesday. Hertha ended up putting more misery on Leverkusen and more pressure on Michael Skibbe, as they won the match 2-1.

Bayern Munich is the 5th most valuable football club in the world, followed by Schalke 04 in 10th, Dortmund in 15th, Hamburg in 17th and Bremen in 18th position. Don’t take Forbes’ data about the clubs too literally though. They will try and tell you that Schalke is owned by the Veltins brewery. (Forbes)

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 […]

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.

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 […]

By: Jan | Comments 1 Comment

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’ […]
