10 Things we learned from Matchday 31 and 32
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 […]
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. This Friday Nuremberg’s match against Wolfsburg got abandoned after heavy rain rendered the pitch unplayable. A Bundesliga first. Nuremberg were leading […]
10 Things we learned from Matchday 26
By: Jan |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 […]

10 Things we learned from Matchday 22
By: Jan |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 […]
10 Things we learned from Matchday 19
By: Jan |1. There are entertaining 1-1 draws.
You could call them borderline exciting draws as well. The top of the table clashes between Leverkusen and Hamburg and Bayern and Bremen didn’t really help anyone in terms of results, but yet you didn’t feel you just wasted 90 minutes of your life either. With some good will - […]
die Tabelle lügen nicht! (02/07)
By: Johnny on the Spot |1. Bayern Munich
Late in their match victory over Hansa Rostock, Hitzfeld switched Klose for Ottl and finally reverted from the toothless 4-4-2 to the dynamic 4-5-1 (or in their case a 4-2-3-1). Is he finally seeing the light?
2. Werder Bremen
A blatant offside for the first goal. A harsh red on Naldo. Did […]
10 Things we learned from Matchday 18
By: Jan |1. If Bayern play bad their rivals will play worse.
Or at least drop points, while Bayern won’t. Let’s take Hamburg for this weekend’s example. They played a toothless first half, went down 0-1 and then needed an improved second half to draw the match against Hanover. Bayern played a good first half, went up 2-0 […]
Transfers: The Summer Signings in Review
By: Jan |The winter transfer window has just been closed, the second half of the season is about to kick off in a few hours and I had all the winter break to do a post like this one. But it wasn’t until yesterday, that I came across a page on the Gazetta dello Sport website, which […]
