Bundesliga 2023/24


Recommended Posts

Surprised it's took that long to be honest, they've been horrendous for months now. Capitulating at home to Schalke after being in such a dominating position neatly sums them up at the moment, should have went after that.

Well deserved 3 points for H96 as they beat Hoffenheim 2-0 in a match played in awful conditions. Goalless at half-time, Füllkrug got the opener in the 59th minute. Sub Martin Harnik ensured the 3 points were staying in Hannover banging in the 2nd with 4 minutes to go.
Result leaves H96 in 10th with a multitude of teams separated by just 5 points from Leipzig in 2nd down to Hannover.
Next up is ‚englische Woche‘ which is what Germans refer to a round of midweek games as. H96 travel to Berlin on Wednesday.

An absolute stunner of a game. Sometimes you get a 4-4 where the goals are the only chances, this one could have been 8-8. A draw absolutely fair.

Certainly was.

Start off level, then behind, then level, then in front, then level, then in front, then level, then behind, then level.

Result means that, after the completed 1st round of games, H96 are in 11th with 23 pts. A scenario most fans would have  taken prior to the start of the campaign. 

Bayern sit top with 41 pts, with Schalke a distant 11 points away. After Schalke there are umpteen clubs capable of CL spots or not, based on just a couple of games .

At the bottom, Cologne seem to be a lost cause, although picking up their 1st win on Saturday against Wolfsburg will give them some hope.

Frankfurt v Schalke was a decent game. Both teams playing very direct Both creating chances. The draw was probably the right outcome, although it was the last touch on the ball in injury time. Frankfurt were claiming for a foul/hand ball in the build up to the goal.

It was a great day at the Commerz-bank Arena. It's a really impressive stadium, although I've never seen as many police on show outside a ground. Not even a hint of trouble. Loads of vendors selling some interesting stuff, including a scarf I regret not buying with an anti-money message for Leipzig (f**k you industry, football is for the fans). Loads of folk out doing stuff on behalf of the various fans groups. No matchday programme, but a free game booklet. Strange to see fanzines on sale when the internet has effectively killed off print fanzines in UK football. I thought the exposed concourses worked well as the stadium's perimeter fence allows fans to wander and see all the different things on offer on match day. The big screen hanging from the middle of the stadium roof (wasn't closed on Saturday) was good for goal replays and highlights at half time.

I'd go back to Frankfurt for a Bundesliga game in a heartbeat.

Noticed it was a very poor attendance at Hannover. Any reason for that other than it being midweek?

Think you‘re getting mixed up a bit. The midweek game was at the Olympiastadion in Berlin. Midweek game, shite weather (horizontal rain), freezing cold and close to Christmas. Hertha never sell out apart from when Bayern or Dortmund are visiting, so the 29908 was probably what they were expecting. Seems strange that a city the size of Berlin can’t generate larger crowds.

I took the photo below, about a minute before kick-off.87b02df25f184ee5618aae819ac16b89.jpg

 

Sunday’s crowd in Hannover was a good bit lower than this season’s average. Sunday game, weekend before Christmas plus Leverkusen aren’t considered a big draw ( despite their high placing).
