So … we thought we would be reduced to feeble attempts at scorning Marco Whatshisname for … what was it we were angry about again? We were prepared to spit venom and spew bile after three depressing performances and subsequent humiliating defeats. We had been planning to do our own version of the BBC’s “Just a minute” for all three of the last matches, except without the humour or wit.
But instead, we offer you a fun-packed and fantastically entertaining podcast filled with razor-sharp analysis, breathtaking insights and lots of “I told you so”‘s, with sprinkles of “as I said a couple of weeks ago”, as we delve into the matches that brought victories against two German Champions League contenders: The Forces Of Evil (a.k.a. Borussia Dortmund) and the Bundesliga’s hardest, most physically intimidating and unfairest team (not club), Wolfsburg. (There might have been another match since we last recorded, but we don’t remember the result, and we doubt our team even turned up.) It seems as if Adi Hütter has found the magic formula to make everything click into place. Join us to find out what he did right.
The Legendary Goal comes from Václav Svěrkoš, another of our frustrating, underperforming strikers, who had occasional moments of glory (in this case in the third round of the German Cup in 2003 against VfB Stuttgart) for which we still love him to death: “Svěrkoooooooooš!!!”.

Well, it happened. Marco Rose decided to move to Borussia Dortmund after the season. Much rumors went around social media about whether to sack him right from the spot now, about reactions from the team aso until finally Max Eberl put his foot down on Wednesday in a remarkable press conference.
Eberl is da boss! Hands down!
Legendary goals today are coming from Branimir Hrgota (don’t forget about him!)

A very bad mood is wavering through Moenchengladbach and its fanszene. Manuel and Alexis try to analyze what happened in the derby against Cologne and about what’s lying ahead in Wolfsburg who play a strong season so far.
In our sections of legendary goals we take a look back how Marco Reus and the whole team of Borussia dismantled Wolfsburg in past times.

A mixed bag for the Foals with a 2-2 draw to Augsburg, followed by a convincing 4-0 over VfB Stuttgart before losing to CL-quarter final contender VfL Wolfsburg. Manuel talks you through the games and André Schubert’s change of formation, shifting between a 4-4-2 and 3-4-3. Sadly, centre back Martin Stranzl held a press conference this week to announce his retirement from football at the end of season, an end of an era at Borussia-Park and a personality that’ll be truly missed by everyone. Next opponent is struggling Eintracht Frankfurt, who sacked coach Armin Veh this week to install Nico Kovac, former Croatia-coach.

Lucien Favre’s squad failed to continue their winning streak with an entertaining 0-0 at Frankfurt, but is still unbeaten in the last nine Bundesliga matches. Both sides had been eager to walk away with three points from the Friday evening match, but in the end both sides settled for a goalless draw, the first for Eintracht’s manager Thomas Schaaf since January 2012. As usual, host Manuel walks us through the match, continues with a preview of the upcoming home clash with 2nd-place VfL Wolfsburg to finish briefly on current transfer rumors.
