Just wait till next year!
Sorry we’re late, we couldn’t find the “REC” button. So we were forced to cram the second two-thirds of the season into one programme. We start off relatively subdued and sober but we gradually pick up speed and take you on a gripping rollercoaster (ghost) ride through season 2022/23: re-live with us the mounting horror as it dawns on us that our coach is actually an imposter (possibly an alien shape-shifter?) who has never trained a football team before, the nightmarish paralysis inflicted on us by zombie-esque performances of our talented but uninterested players, the anguish and misery as we witness the buffoonery of provincial oafs at press conferences, the torture of hoping against hope that things will somehow get better although we don’t know how, when or why. This is offset by the (maybe somewhat forced) admission that the season did have some nice moments, too, and at least we weren’t fighting relegation, something we would have been extremely grateful for just over ten years ago. And our new sporting director didn’t do everything wrong. And we still are probably the greatest club in the world.
We’ll be back. See you next season!

Manuel and Alexis analyse Borussia Mönchengladbach’s performances in the month of March, a true mensis horribilis. Does the win against Schalke 04 mean light at the end of the tunnel? Can Marco Rose go on? There has definitely been a shift in opinion regarding our future ex-manager succumbing to the Forces of Evil. In our Legendary Goals section, a tribute to one of Borussia’s greats, Lothar Matthäus, a player who always gave everything for his team and recently celebrated his 60th birthday.
For this podcast’s title, it’s back to literature for the quote.

Long time no hear! Sorry for that, we’ve been very busy last weeks and months, however, it’s never too late to talk you through the wrap-up of the last season. Although, a little distance to the season finale might be an advantage.
Let’s see, Manuel talks you through the season finale, looks on the performance of the squad and tries an outlook to the upcoming transfer window.
Thanks for your patience and your support during the past and hopefully you tune in again when your all news Borussia Mönchengladbach podcast returns after the WC.
