Bundesliga 2023/24


Recommended Posts

Champions League football at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei, surely not. Berlin owing to it generally being underwhelming at football hasn't been represented at Europe's top table since 1999-2000. The only other teams from the city to play in Europe's top competition  including under it's previous European Cup name are Dynamo Berlin & 1.FC Frankfurt when they played as Vorwärts Berlin. Both of course representing East Germany.

Haaland is simply undefendable on current form - the only flaw in his game is that he isn't actually that clinical in his finishing yet (though hitting it early with pace hasn't exactly been a terrible strategy either). It's impossible to stop him getting into those goalscoring positions though. 
Barring injuries he's going to bury the Messi/Ronaldo tallies.

How long does he stay at Dortmund do you think?

I personally just can't help but see him ending up at Bayern. Would be good to see him go elsewhere, but I just see him as the person Bayern must be looking at to fill that Lewandowski gap. Big Bobby is still banging them in for fun, but he's 33 in August and won't be around forever. He'd be a great signing for any team, but I think they might want to get him signed before the vultures from Munich start forming over the Westfalenstadion.

I only realised a few years ago just how shit Hertha are. Quite incredible that a city of Berlin's size hasn't got a more successful club. Hertha must really be a bit of a basket case club. Good on Union. You won't find many at Schalke who won't wish them well.

Down in the 3.Liga new boys Türkgücü München are currently sitting in 4th place one place behind 1860 München. 10 years ago they were mid-table in the 8th tier Bezirksliga Oberbayern-Nord.

Kop kop kop. Kim o? Ücü. Kim ücü? Türkgücü!

Translation: Knock knock. Who's there? The ogre. The ogre who? Türkgücü!

Big uproar in Mönchengladbach after the Derby defeat to Köln. 

Marco Rose has been running a squad rotation all season which isn't overly popular with the fans as we seem to take care of Bayern, Leipzig, BVB but then struggle against your Freiburgs and Hoffenheims. 

Last night's game against Köln Marco Rose made 7 changes to the team that beat Stuttgart in thr DFB Pokal on Wednesday. Thuram, Plea, Hofmann, Elvedi and Bensebaini were all on the bench, 5 of our best players who in a  full strength XI, all of which would've started. In the starting XI v Köln, only Sommer, Lainer, Ginter, Nauhaus, Zakaria and Neuhaus would have started plus the 5 benched players. 

Bad enough when Gladbach are chasing a champions league spot to be throwing away points with stupid squad rotation gambles but to do it against your fiercest rivals, no matter how shite they are and no matter the fact they played 120mins on Wednesday away in Regensburg, it was no excuse and the fans are angry. A strong 1 paragraph statement from the fan project (who are aligned to Borussia) said "anyone who uses a squad rotation experiment in a Derby does not understand Borussia mönchengladbach". 

Unlike Bayern or closer to home BVB, Borussia don't have the depth in quality within the squad to rotate. We have a starting XI that could win the league, but we don't have the reinforcements for injury cover nevermind a rotation which is why we are not able to challenge

Marco Rose is also linked to the BVB job and is refusing to publicly accounce his commitment to Borussia mönchengladbach, again much to the annoyance of the fans. 

Marco Rose was held in very high regards by the Borussia faithful but with his recent lack of commitment and Saturdays disaster and lack of respect to the fans and club (with his starting XI in a Derby), the "Marco Rose Raus" is becoming a popular phrase.
