Hardly ever saw a more uninteresting and boring first half. Everytime BL teams play 3-4 days after the last gameday or CL/Uefa-Cup the gameday lucks and bores to death. I even went to the toilet 4 times just to see something interesting.

The good thing is that my TV has to be repaired since it only shows half of the picture... :drinkbeer

since I started a Tour de complaiment...
I get a littel worried with Metzelder, Lahm, Schweinsteiger and Podolski all in utterly poor form. Its some time to the WC06 but its about time they start to play better or in the case of Podolski to at least show that he is on the field.

[Valmiki]

Which game you are looking at Gerry?

[Gerry_BMG]

all of them via conference... its better now in 2nd half

[Valmiki]

Yeah, I see 3 more goals scored since the last post.

[Borussia Wolf]

Went to see Dortmund beat Duisburg 2-0 last night. Very unspectacular game, Duisburg well organised and could and should have got something out of the game, if they play like that for the rest of the season I can see them staying up.

[Timonator]

My God what a poor gameday! I have the feeling our BL teams don't like to play in the night!

Werder - Stuttgart 0:0 :ninja I can't stand it anymore...really these draws make me sick :(

Leverkusen 4:0 Wolfsburg
1:0 Berbatov (44.)
2:0 Barnetta (55.)
3:0 Schneider (71.)
4:0 Madouni (75.)

M'gladbach 0:0 Schalke

Nürnberg 0:1 Frankfurt
0:1 Amanatidis (43.) At least one Swabian scoring!!! :ninja

Hannover 2:1 Hamburg
1:0 Zuraw (48.)
2:0 Hashemian (72.)
2:1 Barbarez (81.)

Hmm, thought so...HSV is breaking down...

[palmerq]

well at least not letting bremen score is a good sign.

[Timonator]

Oh Palm there's no faith in my head atm...I'm giving in :(

[Timonator]

LOL Timo said "**** you! " to the ref! :laugh Sorry :ninja that i remember from this "Grottenkick"! :ninja

[Gerry_BMG]

Timo we should make love instead of watching the BL... not together btw... :drinkbeer

[Timonator]

haha, why not together?! :D LOL but you are right, maybe i should do something "useful" on the next gameday! :ninja

Reinke injured very badly after a clash with Stranzel :ninja I never saw so much blood coming out of on persons head! It looked so bad...Reinke bleeded like a slaughterd pig! Hope he gets well soon.

[Timonator]

That happens when you play against Stuttgart! :ninja

Poor guy.

[Gerry_BMG]

yes it looked not very nice... I hope too hes ok and that its nothing serious...
Tim Wiese and his lovely pink shirt are reason enough to hope that Reinke will be back soon :drinkbeer

Stuttgart cant score, Timo!!! why is that? :ninja

[Timonator]

AAHHHHH...why? Hmm, STUPID MANAGEMENT...they didn't replace Hleb and now we have to pay for it! :( Hleb was our most important player along with another one who moved to a certain club! (no not Kuranyi!!!)

We need someone creative it makes me sick to see the midfield so helpless, they don't know what to do with the ball! Hleb made 14 assists last season. I do agree that he had many bad games too, but he still fed the striker with balls :(

Also we cannot play with 2 defensive midfielder! Meisner and Soldo doesn't work anymore. The only thing that's good is the defence. Timo saved again our asses today and if you ask me he's the only light in this dark VfB team :( Without him we'd fight against relegation!

Jeez, maybe it's because of Trap too, I don't know, but what i know is that they need a strong hand. Maybe Trap is too good, i don't know it. Or the other theory: It's impossible to coach this team! :ninja

[bastian]

what about Gomez timo? how is he doing it ?

[Gerry_BMG]

well it looked in the "winter pause" that the team and Trap found their way to work with each other.. and what I saw was that it was better although I only saw part of the games... well... Stuttgart lacks creativity in midfield (sorry to say this like everybody does :ninja)... but you had some good chances... Gomez could have scored and than this discussion would be unneccessary... I think Stuttgart is on the up, sionce I see improvemnt from the "Vorrunde" :drinkbeer

[Timonator]

The other player infected him with their black despair! :ninja

He thinks too much when he's the chance to score. Last Saturday he had 2 100% chances, though we didn't buy luck this season anyway!

Other than that he's doing pretty well. Noone ever blieved in his talent or noone thought he could make it into the first team. Well his talent showed up many times this season and I think he can become a good striker in the future. :nod

Yes, Gerry you are right! The stupid winterbreak destroyed everything we've just build up :( I don't understand why we have these problems again. You know, many VfB fans want to bring back Hleb, especially after we heard that he is not so happy at Arsenal. Who knows maybe he'll come back someday, but we need an AM now! Though it's soooo hard to find a good one :(

[Gerry_BMG]

what I didnt like was Brehmes talk about Tomassons and Grojnkaers interview in a danish newspaper... although danish newspapers are a matter for debate nowadays, I wonder why Brehme said that they dont know it its true if both sais what they allegedly said... wtf! he sees them everyday in training! dont they talk? somehow I dont like the underlaying cognition of mine about the team chemestry...

Gute Besserung Andreas Reinke

Den 30.000 Zuschauern im Gottlieb-Daimler-Stadion stockte in der 77. Minute des heutigen VfB-Heimspieles gegen Werder Bremen der Atem. Bei einem Pass in die Tiefe rutschte Martin Stranzl ungebremst und ohne Absicht mit voller Wucht in den herausstürzenden Bremer Schlussmann. Andreas Reinke musste danach minutenlang behandelt und schließlich ausgewechselt werden. Direkt vom Stadion wurde der 37-Jährige mit dem Krankenwagen ins Stuttgarter Katharinen-Hospital gebracht. Die umgehende Untersuchung ergab ein Schädel-Hirn-Trauma mit mehreren Frakturen.
Stranzl fuhr direkt ins Krankenhaus

Martin Stranzl, der sich unmittelbar nach dem Abpfiff der Partie sowohl bei Werder-Manager Klaus Allofs als auch bei Trainer Thomas Schaaf entschuldigte, zeigte sich von dieser Diagnose geschockt. Direkt nach dem Duschen hatte sich der Österreicher auf den Weg ins Krankenhaus gemacht, um sich über den Zustand Andreas Reinkes zu informieren und sich persönlich zu entschuldigen, was aufgrund einer sofort nach der Einlieferung erfolgten Operation noch nicht möglich war, aber von Stranzl umgehend nachgeholt werden wird.
Der gesamte VfB wünscht Werders Nummer eins gute Besserung und eine baldige Genesung!


Gute Besserung.

[Gerry_BMG]

:huh: well, it looked very bad but hearing it is that bad (because often it looks worse than it is) makes me sad... Gute Besserung auch von mir.

[Coldplay]

Stuttgart should get Alex Meier from Frankfurt. he Really Really helps. Another nice assis from him this week

[Mertesacker]

Shame on Stuttgart's fans on their behaviour towards Reinke when he was hurt.

[Timonator]

Yes, totally agree with you Merte. :( They don't deserve to be even called "fans"! I'm sorry for that, not all VfB fans are so stupid.

Get well soon Andi!

[Mertesacker]

I know, you're the best example. :)
