Nice one - can look forward to seeing more of VfB on the internet this season then.

Supported Bayern since I was just a sprog. Disappointed to see them mangled in the champions league last year, and poor Klinsmann out on his arse.

They've spent a bundle this year and hopefully Tymoshuk will have a good year.

The Bundesliga won another attraction. Alexander Hleb returns to VfB Stuttgart on loan.

Great signing. Obafemi Martins to Wolfsburg is looking likely as well.

Sky used to show the Bundesliga a lot over here but it stopped for some reason a few years ago and appears to have been replaced by the lesser Spanish league.

Whats happened to my favourite German sides? Hansa Rostock & St Pauli? Are they both in the 2nd tier now?

I was in Rostock in 1961, Harry, and it was a real dump that made Grimsby look exciting. However, it has probably changed beyond recognition since the wall came down. Actually I was there two weeks before the wall went up now I come to think of it.

Bundesliga tonight been announced as being on the new ESPN channel.

Shall be getting that, methinks.

You must have made a hell of an impression Monty

Actually I went from there to Leningrad and Moscow. When I came back via train, I got stuck in the carriage for three days because they'd decided to build it without notifying me. So they didn't build it to keep me out! Indeed, when they finally let us through I became one of the first people to escape through the wall from East to West Berlin.

You like both? Wow you're really unique. St Pauli is doing well in 2. League with a very little budget. Rostock avoided relegation to 3. Bundesliga last year.

Their game in Hamburg was really nasty. Over a hundred arrests before the game, police had to close a part of the main rail station of Hamburg because of all the trouble Rostock supporters made there. The game itself had almost been aborted because Rostock Fans shot fireworks at St Pauli keeper. As I sad, never seen someone 'supporting' them both.

St. Pauli's chairman is my favourite gay in the whole world.

VFLsmonan · Post by **VFLsmonan** » Thu Jul 30, 2009 9:09 pm

Smokin' hot...

Without this nutter St Pauli would still play Bundesliga, maybe. He does nothing to get more money. No additional sponsors, he didn't want to rebuild Millerntor Stadium in 2001, when they almost got in DFB Pokal Final etc.

He's a funny bloke - imagine him in the Prem, would be chaos!

Cornelius "Corny" Littmann (born November 21, 1952 in Münster) is the president of the German football club FC St. Pauli.

Littmann toured throughout Germany for years with the "Familie Schmidt" theatre group before setting up the "Schmidt Theater" in Hamburg's St. Pauli in 1988. He is the managing director of two theatres – with the opening of the "Schmidt's Tivoli" theatre in 1991. In 1999 he was named "Hamburg Entrepreneur of the Year".

He's slightly stranger than the above suggests

Doesn't Bill Gates whack them a load of cash too?

That was a april fools day joke...

The season in Germany starts tomorrow with the first round of DFB Pokal.

Match schedule

Bayern plays at Neckarelz (6. league), my club Borussia M'gladbach plays in Frankfurt against FSV. Tomorrow evening Armin Veh has his first match as Wolfsburg coach in Wiesbaden. Top game, played monday evening, is Düsseldorf - Hamburg. Of course there is also a derby with Offenbach - Frankfurt. They really hate each other, trouble should be guaranteed there, if there won't be more policemen than fans.

If you want to watch it per P2P Stream, take the 'Konferenz' (Simulcast) streams.

I'm almost certain I read it in 4-4-2. Maybe in on the joke. They couldn't have been fooled, surely?

VFLsmonan · Post by **VFLsmonan** » Fri Jul 31, 2009 12:39 am

ARD (government tv) posted it on their website and also told that it was a Joke, a day later. I guess someone read it and posted it on 4-4-2.com. Shit happens.

Fantastic news about Hleb - looks like he might stay permanently as well. All VfB need now is a half decent striker to partner Cacau. Looks like it could be Pogrebnyak?

Wolfsburg signed Obafemi Martins. Good move, now they have 3 very good strikers.
