Die Saison 2008/2009 ist fast schon wieder vorüber. Doch bevor wir sie wie im Flug passieren lassen, will Doktor Fußball noch mal ermitteln, welche Mannschaften morgen was erreichen können, oder auch nicht. Die vergangenen Jahre haben uns gelehrt, dass in lediglich 90 Minuten ganze 9 Spiele und 18 Mannschaften in der Konferenz zu sehen, schon mal anstrengend werden kann, zumal für jedes Spiel im Schnitt nur 10 Minuten Zeit sind.

Uli Hoeness predicted that this championship won't be decided on goal difference, but rather that someone would slip up, and he was right albeit in the wrong places.

Nach Spielende gestern war mein Erich wieder richtig angefressen. Gegen einen direkten Konkurrenten wie Karlsruhe hatte sich mein Göttergatte viel mehr Entschlossenheit von den Cottbuser Kickern erwartet.

Inanimate object makes mockery of footballer Karlsruhe's Maik Franz was eager to show just how annoyed he was at being sent-off during his side's defeat to Schalke last night. Sadly, he chose the wrong piece of stadium furniture to pick on. The hard as nails chair took Franz's best blow with ease and very nearly knocked [. Click to continue reading...

Einfach klasse der Kerl. Nachdem er eigentlich schon vorher wegen eines brutalen Ellbogenchecks vom Platz hätte gestellt werden müssen, holte Maik Franz sich dann wenig später wegen einer "obszönen" Geste in Richtung Reservebank des VfL Wolfsburg Gelb-Rot ab. Völlig wutentbrannt versucht "Iron Maik" noch auf den Schiri einzureden. Click to continue reading...

Eintracht Frankfurt were supposed to be play Karlsruhe on Friday night in the Bundelsiga. But that didn't happen, and it's all Madonna's fault. Actually it's Madonna's fans' fault.
