Amid the frenzy surrounding Manchester City and the transfer of Robinho sending shockwaves through
the world, Glauber Berti was another Brazilian international travelling through the revolving doors
at Eastlands. The ‘one-cap wonder' arrives to strengthen Mark Hughes' defensive options.
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 if the six best teams in the league don't do their [...]
MSV Duisburg and FC Hansa Rostock were relegated today from the Bundesliga and will find themselves
back in 2. Bundesliga for the 2008-2009 seasons. North American players Heath
Pearce (USA) and Ryan Gyaki (Canada) are members of the Hansa Rostock
squad. The final relegation member will be decided next weekend.
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 [.

VfL Wolfsburg 4-0 VfB Stuttgart
Big win for the Wolves as they beat last season's Bundesliga champions VfB Stuttgart who were
brought down to 10 men in the 18th minute when Fernando Meira was sent off. Former
Bayern boss Felix Magath keeps pushing for the 5th place spot to enter the club in
Europe for the first time in Wolfsburg's existance.
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.
1. The truth behind Mirko Slomka's dismissal. Mirko Slomka got fired on Sunday. The same Sunday
Kevin Kuranyi put on his serious face and told reporters that Schalke had lost a very good coach,
who every player loves to work with. Then he put on his sad face. Then he said OK. Then he drove
away [...]
Bayern Munich is the 5th most valuable football club in the world, followed by Schalke 04 in 10th,
Dortmund in 15th, Hamburg in 17th and Bremen in 18th position. Don't take Forbes' data about the
clubs too literally though. They will try and tell you that Schalke is owned by the Veltins
brewery. (Forbes) Mad Jens [.
It's season review time to bridge the gap between now and the Euros or the next Rafael van der
Vaart transfer saga. It was a good season for... Money. The three biggest spenders this season -
based on their transfer deficit - were Bayern Munich, Wolfsburg and second division side
Hoffenheim. Bayern's millions bought them a double, [.
1. Sotirios Kyrgiakos is the Bundesliga's Marco Matterazzi. It wasn't a World Cup final, it has yet
to prove to be title deciding, but it at least shares some similarities with the infamous incident.
Diego is - statistically approved - the most fouled player in the Bundesliga. A little fact that
coincides with him being the [.
1. Luca Toni goes down easily. Call him a diver or an opportunist. When Bayern were trailing 1-0 at
Cottbus, Luca Toni worked the slightest contact to his maximum advantage. He lost control of his
body, fell to the ground and was awarded a questionable penalty for his troubles. But it was meant
to be Cottbus' [.
Good news for GolTV subscribers. (Yahoo! Biz) Bad news for people watching their football on German
TV (i.e., please pity me). (Goal.com) A spectacular overhead goal by Jürgen Klinsmann. (Who Ate
All The Pies) A spectacular rise and fall. (Deutsche Welle) Fun with names: Grafite spells trouble
for Schalke.
Here are Werder Bremen's Otto Rehagel and Rudi Vller during a match against Nuremberg back in
1983. Rudi Vller was the man in the shadows and Shazback got it right with the very first comment.
It was probably a bit misleading, given that Rudi Vller ended his playing career years ago, but
calling the post [.
When I was a kid, Dr. Emmett Brown taught me, that certain interventions into the past or future
could create a time paradox and cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the
space-time continuum and destroy the entire universe. That's the worst case scenario. Sunday's
match between Nuremberg and Wolfsburg was a [.
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 [.
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 [...]
Rafael van der Vaart covered in mud / turned into a lust object. (Kickette) In terms of foreigners
the Bundesliga is second only to the Premier League. (BBC) And as such the Bundesliga also has the
biggest representation of players at the Euros. (Guardian) Despite all those foreigners Germany
still qualified for the Euros and is considered to [.
Top Buts Allemand 07-08; according to Canal+. (Dailymotion) Hamburg's new coach Martin Jol while
cleaning his nostrils. (Block 11) Once upon a time in the Bundesliga; that's Diego shooting.

weren't a footballer?
1. Nuremberg complete relegation double. Schalke scored two goals. Schalke almost scored two own
goals. In between Nuremberg squandered their chances, like they squandered their chances all
season. Eventually those were Nuremberg's final 90 minutes in the Bundesliga. Nuremberg are now in
sole possession of two less than flattering relegation records.
I'm sorry about the complete lack of updates here, except for the odd Weekly Dose edition. I'm
currently spending most of my time over at the Germany World Cup Blog. But I hope to have the odd
Bundesliga related post ready to help those who don't care about the Euros through the next month.
The Bundesliga [.
Bundesliga side VfL Wolfsburg confirmed the signings of Zvjezdan Misimovic,
Daniel Adlung and Rodrigo Alvim.
Misimovic is the prize signing. The 25-year-old Bosnian midfielder is known for his creative
abilities. He comes over from recently relegated side 1.
