farkin hell

 

Got a trip to Germany penciled in for end of May, maybe Munich or Hamburg

 

Come on Herta Berlin!

 

lol, why hertha?

 

I went on holiday to Berlin in 1998 and have followed them ever since. I've got a Hertha shirt with Rehmer 33 on the back tucked away somewhere.

 

Now I wish the prem was that exciting! Though I bet Bayern still come back and win it!

Are Energie Cottbus the small team from the East with a little stadium? They could qualify for Europe but could also easily go down!

Dortmund going down would be like Liverpool being relegeted as well

 

yes, cottbus is the little east club

and dortmund has to play against schalke on day 33. schalke could become 'meister' and dortmund could go down

u must know that dortmund and schalke are arch-fiends

 

I follow VFB Stuttgart. We have had a pretty good season, better than last year!

I'm off to Berlin this Summer, (June I think?)

 

i'm a bit surprised that some of u follow 'our' league

 

Bump, any chance of an update wurzel?

 

Come on Mainz!

 

i will update it after this weekend, a very important game will be: stuttgart vs. bayern

 

and here it is, the current league table after 30 games

1 Schalke 62
2 Bremen 60
3 Stuttgart 58
4 Bayern 53
5 Leverkusen 45
6 N*rnberg 44
7 Hertha 38
8 Cottbus 38
9 Hannover 38
10 Hamburg 36
11 Bochum 36
12 Wolfsb. 35
13 Dortmund 35
14 Frankfurt 34
15 Bielefeld 33
16 Aachen 33
17 Mainz 31
18 Gladbach 25

 

Well at least Hertha are edging away from the trap door. Have they appointed a new manager yet? I know they just recently sacked the last bloke.

 

yes, they fired g*tz, now the former reserve team coach karsten kleine trains the team til the end of the season

 

how are 1.fc cologne doing in the bundesliga 1?? they are my german team, but i dont get to hear much about nowadays

 

they only play in the 2.bundesliga, they can't go up this year, perhaps next year with their famous manager christoph daum

 

lol yeah i meant the bundesliga 2... i was confused, i saw they got relegated last season (they were bottom wernt they?) but for some reason forgot

 

i don't know if they finished bottom.

but cologne is the biggest club in the 2nd league with the most money and the biggest stadium (about 50000 seats). nevertheless only a place in the midfield of the table

 

if anyone cares: the current results:

27.04. 20:30 VfL Bochum 2:1 FC Schalke 04
28.04. 15:30 FC Bayern 1:2 Hamburger SV
28.04. 15:30 Alem. Aachen 0:4 Hertha BSC

stuttgart for the title! frankfurt to stay up!

 

What german team is it that does a youll never walk alone rendition?

 

i think its 1.fc cologne that do youll never walk alone... i think i saw it on some merchadise when i was out there

 

Koln - great city - good night life - joint smoking bars - bratwursts every where, great corn on the cob (hot) outside the main station for €2 ( was when i was last there) some decent beer, a decent lake to go and relax by and wacth the totti strut there stuff.

Koln 9/10 on the vistscale. Highly rcommended.

 

100% agree... not bad stadium either... oo you missed koelsch great beer

 

almost every team copied u'll never walk alone (it only sounds really great at dortmund when 80000 sing it)

the stadium at cologne is nice sure, but u should visit allianz arena, still better

 

is that the new one in munich? it looks like a golf ball

 

Ahh cologne nice crimbo markets.
