In the great pantheon of football annuls, FC Augsburg are veritable young upstarts. And, having found themselves gracing the Bundesliga for the first time this season, it is perhaps no surprise that they were immediately installed as favourites to return to the second tier. Yet their own history reflects experience way beyond their years, and may just engender the spirit
Last season, this fixture produced one of the most memorable matches of the year. Dortmund looked rampant as they continued their romp towards the title; while the 3-1 reverse served to underline Bayern’s deficiencies and listlessness that typified a stuttering campaign
November 10th, 2011 marks the two-year anniversary of Robert Enke's decision to take his own life. At approximately 6.15pm, the affable German international stepped in front of the Bremen regional express in the village of Eilvese. He was just 32, and left an adoptive child, devoted wife, and close circle of friends behind; consigned to an overwhelming void of emptiness.Within
With only two teams managing to negotiate the month of October unbeaten, and just two more failing to register a win during that period, the refreshing competitiveness of the Bundesliga looks to have returned with a vengeance. And with a total of 99 goals across the 36 games from Matchdays 8-11, the entertainment value continues to match it.Bayern remain top
The opening month of the 2011-12 Bundesliga campaign was, perhaps, most notable for the apparent return to status quo that it seemed to embody.

So, the Bundesliga season is at an end yet again. And cue the galas and awards. In a year that has gone some small way to upsetting the more usual order of German football, it was the free-spirited Schwarzgelben of Jürgen Klopp’s youthful Dortmund side that swept aside all other contenders to hoist aloft the Bundesliga trophy. Their vibrant brand
On the 16th of March, Schalke’s Chairman Clemens Tonnies wielded the axe to part company with his then Head Coach, Felix Magath. At the time, Schalke occupied tenth place in the Bundesliga (their highest position of the season), had just completed a two-leg victory over Valencia to take them into the Champions’ League quarter-final, and were looking forward to
I first ventured to St. Pauli in 2008 with a Celtic Supporters Club based in Derry. We all know the links with Celtic and St. Pauli (If not check out www.thecelticwiki.com) and I wanted to experience the atmosphere first hand, and what an atmosphere that was. Unforgettable, Unstoppable and Untameable. We dropped our luggage off at the hotel and went
So, after a brief flirtation with the top flight of German fußball, the minnows of FC St. Pauli bid a sombre return to the second tier. And much to the chagrin of their battle-hardened followers, they succumbed to the might of a resurgent Bayern machine with little more than a whimper on matchday 33 in the Bundesliga. While their city
Nine years after their last domestic triumph of any kind, and fourteen years on from being European and Intercontinental kings, BVB have finally ascended back to the top of German football. But, with the Bundesliga perennially seen as a lesser division amid the Euro-elite, the question pertains as to just how good the achievements of Jürgen Klopp’s men actually are.
