Guest Bilo Posted 27 August 2010 Posted 27 August 2010 St Pauli have Hoffenheim at home tomorrow which could be tough given they stuffed Werder Bremen 4-1 in their last outing. See what you mean C-Man about the Bundesliga being competitive, will be a tough one to call. Also, La Liga and Serie A start this weekend.

See what you mean C-Man about the Bundesliga being competitive, will be a tough one to call. Also, La Liga and Serie A start this weekend. I think Sankt will win tomorrow. 1899 weren't that brilliant last week - Werder had an AWFUL twenty minutes defensively.
Guest Bilo Posted 28 August 2010 Posted 28 August 2010 St Pauli lost to Hoffenheim 1-0 this evening. No disgrace in that as Hoffenheim battered Bremen last week and are a solid higher mid-table outfit. Hamburg got a decent 3-1 win at Frankfurt and look like a decent outfit. Still, as said yesterday, a very open league. And you can stand. And you can be an Ultra. And you can drink in the stands. Wish I was German.
Fosse Boy Posted 29 August 2010 Posted 29 August 2010 Gladbach on fire at the moment. Shame Pauli lost to the village though.
Father Ted Posted 29 August 2010 Posted 29 August 2010 Absolutely unbelievable game between Leverkusen and Monchengladbach! Some great finishing and a message to Sousa; that's how you can play attacking football and still win despite conceding 3 goals

Wish I was German. the more we can bring over from germany to here the better. Not just in the stands but the ownership issue (50+1) works, no oligarchs coming in, spending loads, buggering off and financially crippling the clubs over there unlike here (should abromivich (sp) and sheikh mansour leave then it's quite probable that chelsea and man city will go the way of chester). As this summer showed the youth development system over there is also much better, even if half their team were polish, brazilian or turkish, the majority still came through the youth systems, and with the reserve sides playing in the lower divisions they play proper competitive football which i have no doubt helps improve the players (though i'm not too keen on introducing that bit of continental football)
The Doctor Posted 29 August 2010 Posted 29 August 2010 barca 2-0 up against racing santander. Messi and iniesta (if you can find footage of iniestas goal - to call it top drawer is an understatement IMO), David Villa goal disallowed for offside, racing missed a penalty (foul was outside the box though). Barcelona are looking sloppy however, quite a few passes going astray. Edit: Full time 3-0 barcelona - villa with the third. Quick question for db11 when he's next on; Barca had a corner, they put the ball down in the quadrant, Ball not moving when the took it but the linesman has signaled to the ref for a retake and is rolling his index fingers over one another. Why have they been pulled back?

Why have they been pulled back? I'd have thought that was obvious, the linesman must have thought it was moving. 2 points dropped already for Real Madrid. Poor game, made even worse when Benzema came on, he was shocking.
Edmund Posted 29 August 2010 Posted 29 August 2010 Poor game, made even worse when Benzema came on, he was shocking. I only caught the second half. I agree with you from what I saw. This may be one hurdle even Mourinho can't tackle. We've seen what happens to managers at real who win the title with no flair (Capello) let alone not win it.
The Doctor Posted 29 August 2010 Posted 29 August 2010 I'd have thought that was obvious, the linesman must have thought it was moving. Poor game, made even worse when Benzema came on, he was shocking. i don't see how he could have, he was stood right over the ball.
Fox You Forest Posted 29 August 2010 Posted 29 August 2010 i don't see how he could have, he was stood right over the ball. It's not like football officials to get seemingly obvious decisions wrong.

We should drop literally everything about the English game and replace it with literally everything that makes the German game what it is. But this has all been said before and it's never gonna happen unfortunately, at least not until the Premiership has finally finished eating itself. Back to La Liga, I'm surprised Real have dropped points already but it's a long old season and they'll definitely give Barca a run for their money. Still fancy Barca to edge them though.
MC Prussian Posted 3 September 2010 Posted 3 September 2010 Borussia Dortmund fans are boycotting the away trip to Gelsenkirchen and are refusing to pay €22 (£18) per person in the standing section or €55 (£48) for a seat. A collective of Dortmund fanclubs, around 60 groups in total, urge their fellow fans to return tickets delivered to their respective clubs. General consensus is that Schalke only raised ticket prices this season in order to re-finance at least one part of their expensive summer spree. Recent arrivals include the likes of former Real Madrid star Raúl (alleged transfer cost: €7.5m), Kashima's Atsuto Uchida (€1.3m), Ciprian Deac from Cluj (€3m), Klaas-Jan Huntelaar from AC Milan (€14m), Murcia's Sergio Escudero (€2.4m), Atlético Madrid's José Manuel Jurado (€13m) or Christoph Metzelder (free transfer, but high wages), also formerly with Real Madrid.
Mikey Posted 4 September 2010 Posted 4 September 2010 I want Hamburg to win the Bundesliga. Ruud. Already got 6 in 3.
lildave3 Posted 4 September 2010 Posted 4 September 2010 I want Hamburg to win the Bundesliga. Ruud. Already got 6 in 3. Klaas and Raul at Schalke!
AjcW Posted 5 September 2010 Posted 5 September 2010 Bloody hell I didn't know Schalke had signed all of those players!! Maybe looking to push on in the Champions League this season?(Having said that their group is pretty solid!)
Edmund Posted 12 September 2010 Posted 12 September 2010 Barcelona lost 2-0 at home against Hercules.
CosbehFox Posted 14 September 2010 Posted 14 September 2010 Hercules shouldn't even be in the division. The Bundesliga looks impossible to predict if Bayern have a dodgy season. Schalke are the best equipped. I'd actually tip Wilfsburg if it wasn't for the poor start; made super signing in Diego. Also, Dortmund look dark horses...slowly built a team and it's coming off. I'd love Mochengladbach and St Pauli to do well. The Schalke tickets thing is damaging their own support. For the first time in years, tickets are going on public sale according to a German poster on another website. He said visit the Aufschalke now.
lcfc_jme Posted 15 September 2010 Posted 15 September 2010 Schalke !! Breaks my heart to see them doing so badly.. Bochum haven't started all that well this season (not that many will care mind, seeing as it's in the German 2nd division), 12th place and 6 points off the top 3 with 3 points from 3 games having been beaten at home by an organised, counter-attacking Augsburg side. Still have confidence they'll turn it around (hopefully before I go see them again) seeing as they're usually well-equipped to do well down there - the last 5 times they've been in the 2 Bundesliga they've finished 1st on 3 occasions, and 2nd and 3rd once. Lovely. Elsewhere, Wacker Innsbruck are top of the Austrian Bundesliga by a point with a game in hand as well, which is brilliant stuff considering I saw them last season in a 2nd division game. Still unbeaten thus far, as well. Brilliant form! And finally, what the actual fu ck? The Turks have seriously lost the plot. Just imagine if that even nearly happened over here!
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 15 September 2010 Posted 15 September 2010 Also, Dortmund look dark horses...slowly built a team and it's coming off. Dortmund have got a cracking few players, Subotic, Hummels, Kuba, Barrios, Sahin, Lewandowski, Zidan, all brilliant. Really hope they can crack the Champions League this season, rate Klopp.
C-man Posted 18 September 2010 Posted 18 September 2010 Stuttgart, previously winless, stuffed Monchengladbach 7-0 today The big one tomorrow - Hamburg ist braun-weiss.

Really hope they can crack the Champions League this season, rate Klopp. Catch the highlights of their game against Karpaty Lviv in Europa League if you can. 4-3 winners and Barrios is superb. His pass for the winner from Klopp is a beauty. Stuttgart, previously winless, stuffed Monchengladbach 7-0 today The big one tomorrow - Hamburg ist braun-weiss. Mainz won again! 4 wins on the bounce and their teenage striker has already signed for Leverkusen next year. What a couple of derbies tomorrow.
C-man Posted 18 September 2010 Posted 18 September 2010 Mainz won again! 4 wins on the bounce and their teenage striker has already signed for Leverkusen next year. Top for the first time in their history!
