regarding Marin
I can't see him moving anywhere next season, he already turned down an offer from Ajax this summer.

Ajax wanted him? I did not know that, one reason more to sign him as soon as possible.

Yes, Jos Luhukay

What do you think of him?

Yes, Jos Luhukay

What do you think of him?

He came already to Gladbach when Heynckes was still in charge and later took over. After their relegation, they got rid of their inflated squad. He appears to put great emphasis on tactics as he chances his line-up and tactical orientation to each opponent (at least I heard so, I don't know if this is true to this extreme, but I noticed a good deal of rotation though some of that is due to injury). After a slow start, partly because their main strikers were injured, to gained 4 wins in a row. All in all, it seems Luhukay has gotten to understand how his squad works.

1860 will miss Schwarz, Sven Bender and Gebhart against Mainz, while Josh Wolf is also likely to miss. I suppose, Alexander Eberlein will play in DC along Lars Bender, while Johnson would be a natural replacement on RM/ RW.

We played absolutely awful and deservedly lost. In the whole game, we had about one real chance. We desperately need a win against Koblenz now, but after beating Fürth 3:0 they will come on a high.

Two big and important derbies this week with 1860 - Fürth and Gladbach - Köln. Our game is a 6point-game, unfortunately we had some injury problems in defence, but they may just be fit in time. So far, we have sold way beyond 50.000 tickets.

Anyone has an update on when Hitzlsperger will be back from injury for Stuttgart? I have him in my CL fantasy team, and wondering whether I should sub him out if he is not back soon...

He's not able to play this weekend. He has 'water in the middle of his foot' (dunno what's it called in English or Italian). 2 weeks ago he was supposed to be back around now, seems it will take a little longer. Doubtful for the next CL match me thinks.

By the way VFB haven't relegated (yet)

Haha, who is topscorer? Friend?

Always remember him as a fairly limited player.

Good to see Kaiserslautern get the win today but still need a kick up the arse to get up the table. Hoping to maybe go and see them in February against Monchengladbach
