Bundesliga 2008/09, 4. Spieltag

Well, it's already Thursday, so I thought it can't hurt to start the thread.







Friday
Eintracht Frankfurt - Karlsruher SC [edit: cancelled]

Saturday
Hertha BSC - VfL Wolfsburg
Borussia Dortmund - Schalke 04 [derby time]
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim - VfB Stuttgart
Werder Bremen - FC Energie Cottbus
Hamburger SV - Bayer 04 Leverkusen
1. FC Köln - FC Bayern München

Sunday
Hannover 96 - Borussia Mönchengladbach
VfL Bochum - Arminia Bielefeld



Personally I'm of course especially curious, if Martin Jol will already play Thiago Neves or not.

Pak ze Fred !

They should have put one of the good games on Sunday so I can watch it on tv!

Hamburg - Leverkusen has the potential for plenty of goals, so I think I might watch that rather than Dortmund - Schalke. None of the other games really stand out though.

Neves vs Augusto!

Oh God, I forgot we were playing Hoffenheim in the little derby this weekend and Karlsruhe in the big one the next.

Let's hope the strikers will have recovered from their injuries/regained their fitness by then.

Marica ---> contusion (thigh), sustained in one of the matches with the national team
Cacau ----> just back from injury
Fischer ----> knee knack



And if that wasn't enough, Pavel Pardo partially tore one of the ligaments in his knee.

Frankfurt vs. Karlsruhe got cancelled, because Madonna has ruined the pitch.

Madonna verhindert Bundesliga-Spiel
Frankfurt gegen KSC abgesagt!

Das heutige Bundesliga-Spiel Frankfurt gegen Karlsruhe ist abgesagt. Der Rasen ist in einem unbespielbaren Zustand. Und das alles, weil Pop-Diva Madonna am Dienstag in der WM-Arena ein Konzert hatte.

[...]

Auf der Eintracht-Homepage heißt es: „Nach einer erneuten Begehung des Rasens durch eine Platzkommission wurde die für heute Abend geplante Bundesligapartie zwischen Eintracht Frankfurt und dem Karlsruher SC nun doch abgesagt...Ein Nachholtermin für das Spiel steht noch nicht fest. Bereits erworbene Tickets behalten ihre Gültigkeit.“

Not at all, even if I'm not happy with the situation there. I thought our game was the late kick-off for some reason. It could be tough getting a stream for the Arsenal game though, so I might have to make do with the radio for that.

I can't believe the game has been called off because of that useless cow. Pretty poor from Frankfurt as well, it's not really an acceptable situation to be calling a game off at the last minute because of something like this.

f@ck. Just sat on my armchair to watch Eintracht v. KSC when I heard this match is postponed.
Have to watch "Kocharena" with my girlfriend now.
That living spare part depot completely spoiled my friday night feeling.

Armchair?


And be glad it's not Johannes B. Kerner's cooking show.

My armchair is my holy grail, that ugly thing. Just for football use.

And be glad it's not Johannes B. Kerner's cooking show.

I have to watch that, too. My girlfriend says, now, that there is no football on TV, we can watch both. Btw, it´s now "Markus Lanz kocht", and it´s even worse. This evening is so $h!t, thanks to Madonna.

*laughs* Really sweet.


Kerner manages to get me "from naught to 180" in seconds, so I can't say much about it. I only catch a few minutes now and then when I'm at home and go downstairs into the living room to wake up my Mum who tends to fall asleep on the couch in the evenings. She was saying that Lanz doesn't infuriate her as much as Kerner.

I watched Aachen vs. Ingolstadt before. So, I had my daily football match.

Was a quite good match. That 17 y.o. Lewis Holtby from Aachen caught my eye every time I see him. Really a great talent. Marin type player.

Ralf Fährmann (cool name) will make his debut against Borussia Dortmund this afternoon in front of an estimated 80,000 crowd!

Anyone know much about him? I assume he is yet another one from the never ending conveyor belt on German talents.

Barnetta opens the scoring early on for Leverkusen.

scheisse!

But then Jol loves goals.... loads of goals..... for or against, it doesn't matter as long "we" score one more than our opponents!

Penalty for Schalke. Handball from Subotic and Farfan converts.

Helmes makes it 0-2 to Leverkusen. I wish I could get a stream for this match, Leverkusen have looked fantastic going forward this season.

Guerrero and Olic have made it 2-2 in Hamburg.

Are there any German posters watching the football today?

Toni scores, and Westermann gets a goal again.

I have no pay tv so iam not watching it but following through live ticker and radio

Never thought Schalke can possibly 3-0 up in Dortmund!!

Also, HSV should start every game at 0:2 from now on.

Toni 2:0

Dortmund chasing an unlikely comeback! 2-3 now against Schalke.

And Hamburg lead through Petric now! 3-2

Schalke got 2 red cards
11 vs 9 in the last 10 min

DERBY

Bremen 2-0 up

Diego and Frings

3-0

Sanogo scored as well.

Penalty in Dortmund! Frei equalises from the spot. What a comeback!

Its great to see how those 2 Dutch coaches are taking the Bundesliga to the next level!

Seems to have been an exciting day in the Bundesliga, with only Hoffenheim-Stuttgart being a letdown in the goalscoring stakes. Two fantastic comebacks in the two big games today.
