Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Fantastic weekend for Augsburg. Winning at the Allianz Arena and Schalke losing at Köln leaves them clear in 5th place, with a home game to come against struggling Hannover and a trip to Borussia Mönchengladbach, who will hopefully have their Champions League spot sewn up. It would be absolutely huge for the club to qualify for the Europa League, and a real signal of how far they've come in the last few years.

eurofootballstadium.com Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Big win for Stuttgart at the weekend v Mainz. Cracking big stadium and a lovely city to boot. Can see why Stuttgart are bottom though - couldn't finish their dinner and lacking confidence. Mainz didn't turn up. Really wasn't a classic but it keeps the relegation battle very alive and interesting.

eurofootballstadium.com Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 What a fuckin game at Borussia Park yesterday!! 3-0 against Bayer 04 in which I'd have taken a draw before it. Kruse has finally found form!! And Traore has been superb coming off the bench of late! What a fuckin season! With Wolfsborg playing Paderborn today, they'll likely go back into 2nd place 2 points ahead of Borussia, but they don't have the easiest fixture list coming up. 2 games to go for Borussia, 5 points ahead of Bayer 04, we're away to Werder next week and should get the necessary 3 points to formalise our automatic qualification to the Champions League Group Stages! Got to be delighted with that result mate against a decent Leverkusen team. However, losing Kruse is surely a sore one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurofootballstadium.com Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Just a bit :-/. The last few weeks he's been on fire but before that he had only scored three times since October and they were all penalties. He does do a shitload of other work though hence why him and Raffael start all the time. We've got Hrgota who is a decent player but he's no max Kruse. No idea who we'll get to replace him, we got kruse cheap as f**k from a clause in his contract at Freiburg but the last time we paid top dollar for a player it was the biggest mistake ever in Luuk de Jong, he was shite! Scoring for fun at PSV mind you... Looks like you're getting Franco di Santo, if reports are true, for 10million euros. Not convinced that's an upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not convinced that's an upgrade Ooft, that's a fair wedge to spend on him. Moenchengladbach have been good at picking up players from lesser teams for small fees in the last few seasons, that would be a step in the opposite direction.

Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Bad day for Augsburg, losing at home to Hannover, which was a huge result for them. Still, if they can pick up a point at Moenchengladbach next week then they'll qualify for Europe. Lose, and Dortmund win at home to Werder, and the spot goes to a Dortmund side who barely deserve a European spot based on the season they've had.

Agreed, would just be harsh on them, especially as they've been in the top 6 now for a long time. Some stupid defeats could have cost them dearly. I suppose that comes with trying to establish yourself in the top half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were to get pipped for 6th, then you'd be hoping for Dortmund to beat Wolfsburg in the DFB-Pokal final, since that would mean 7th getting the EL-Qual spot.

eurofootballstadium.com Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 it is all very exciting at the bottom. Paderborn v Stuttgart will be decisive but Hamburg could pick up the points they need against Schalke, who are complete pants at the moment. RDM has to go there. Big game at Hannover too although Hamburgs GD is so poor that a draw would see Freiburg safe and Hannover at worst 16th. Loads of drama! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 This no Bundesliga live matches this weekend and next is totally shit. I fear the end is nigh for 1860. Despite a great win last weekend away to Frankfurt every other team around them also won meaning they are right in it at the bottom. They have sold nearly 60,000 tickets for today's home match against Nurnberg but I think it is possibly too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afca32 Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Duisburg promoted to the 2. Bundesliga They have a chance of winning the league too due to Bielefeld's recent poor form. What an achievement that would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris. Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I'd love it if both Stuttgart & Hamburg went down. Hopefully Paderborn make the play-off at worst. They've been shite for a large part of the season, but they're at least decent to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, if they can pick up a point at Moenchengladbach next week then they'll qualify for Europe. Lose, and Dortmund win at home to Werder, and the spot goes to a Dortmund side who barely deserve a European spot based on the season they've had. Enjoyable, but long, day down at Augsburg. On the train, 5½ hours there, 6 hours back. Niggly game all the way through, which ended up with 3 red cards at the end. Augsburg had the majority of posession but were fairly ineffective in the final third of the pitch. Both H96 goals coming from Jimmy Briand laying off to Lars Stindl to slot the ball away (Stindl will be a big loss, once he moves to Mönchengladbach at the end of the season). Still to see the Augsburg penalty on TV / Youtube. Was right in front of the away end, and 'seemed' to be just outside the box. Nice stadium, good views from the away sections, but only low (very low) alcohol beer available in the away end! Train back went via Stuttgart, with a whole pile of subdued Hamburg fans getting on, trying to come to terms with the fact that they may get relegated from the BL for the very first time. Already been numerous SV Hamburg as a coffin style mock-ups doing the rounds. Last round of games with relevance to the relegation/play-off spots are:- Hannover - Freiburg. Freiburg will have been a coupon buster with their win at home to Munich. Both should be safe, (due to their notably better goal-diff. as compared to Hamburg and Paderborn), but would prefer for H96 to go for the 3 points and make things certain. Hoffenheim - Hertha. Very faint chance of Hertha being dragged into the play-off spot. A draw suffices. Hamburg - Schalke. Anything other than 3 points for Hamburg then it's automatic relegation. Even then they're dependent on other results. Despite Schalke's mediocre BL form during 2015, they are in the Europa league next year anyway. A point ensures they will finish 5th (assuming there's no 6 goal turnaround with Augsburg). Paderborn - Stuttgart. A Paderborn win would relegate Stuttgart, and put Paderborn at best in the play-off spot. Even then they require that Hamburg don't win. A win for Stuutgart guarantees safety, a draw will leave them at best in the play-off spot, although if they draw and Hamburg win then they are down automatically. All in all will be a nervy 90 minutes all round, with the chance that two of the bigger traditional clubs in Hamburg and Stuttgart going down. Currently only Ingolstadt have been confirmed as being promoted. The other spots are all to play for next Sunday between Darmstadt, Karlsruhe & Kaiserslautern.

highlandcowden Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I see all games kicking off 1430 on Saturday.hamburg-schalke advertised as live at this time on bt sport but surely they aren't allowed to broadcast that with live games that afternoon in the spl kicking off at 1500. if that is the case think bt would have done better to do a delayed broadcast at say 1730,think itd be easy enough for most here to avoid the results till then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Brilliant that they are showing some Bundesliga, missed it all this past weekend. They should be showing Paderborn v Stuttgart in my opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
