So we spend like 5 hours to get to the Westfalenstadion in the fan train. Dortmund fans were crazy optimistic in front of the stadium saying they would trash us 4:0, 5:0 or 6:0 and were chanting „Dortmund are becoming champions and Schalke relegated“ before the game already.
So seeing the Dortmund arrogance before the game - I hoped that we will crush their dream.

The game itself more than made up for the past 4 dreadful games even though we conceded a stupid late equalizer.
Our squad really silenced the whole stadium.
Except for the away end. We were celebrating in party mode all game.

I will remember for years how we managed to be the party poopers for probably 75k Dortmund fans haha.

Games in which nothing is at stake for your team anymore are sometimes the best. Probably the most fun I've ever had at a game was five years ago, when we played at your stadium and HSV was relegated. It was a 90 minute party in the away sector. And I don't even remember the result of the game.

The mighty HSV!
I was so happy when they got relegated and to this day I am still happy they continue to screw up. Here is to hoping they screw up relegation against Stuttgart again!

Besides the obvious Wolfsburg, Leverkusen, Hoffenheim, Bayern and Leipzig:
HSV, Schalke, Frankfurt, Augsburg and Kaiserslautern, I dislike these clubs very much.

Biggest coup ever if Dortmund pluck 100+m's for Jude

Bionic knee straps like this at 19. He'll be at Luton before 25.

I would agree with your assessment that he is probably done in 5-7 years.

He has player a lot more at Dortmund than what is probably healthy.

Dahmen to Augsburg.

Couldn’t have chosen a less likeable club.

HSV spend all season fighting to get to the relegation spot only to completely blow it and lose the 1st leg of the relegation games 3:0

^^^I already wasn't excited about his Madrid sale rumors. But I suppose they are filling the void of galactico contract flop left by Hazard's contract termination. It would be bad for squad harmony without an eeyore to centralize the squad's bullying.

Even then Chelsea's last year would beat that coup with both Mudryk(5 pence mascot) and Enzo (100M+ midfielder who spent his whole career till Chelsea as the 2nd-3rd best performing midfielder behind players worth 40M).

Documentation from our U19 championship squad is now available. Only in German, though. :lol:

Can't wait to see them in the Youth League next year.

Naby Keita to Werder Bremen.
That came out of nowhere...

Not sure if he has anything left in his tank but was a good player a couple years back.

Definitely didn't see that one coming.

Unique opportunity for Werder. Zero chance without injuries. If he can show let's say 85% of what he used to be, he will help a lot.

There's a reason why no big clubs were in for him.

Far too injury prone...
