tralali-tralala; dubidooo-dubidummmm 
- biggest upset since Kaiserslautern won the title immediately after being promoted (the great Otto Rehagel was in charge)
- with the second youngest team in Bundesliga history (Gladbach with Netzer, Vogts... still hold the record)
- with a team featuring MANY talents straight out of the STuttgart youth academy (Gomez, Khedira, Tasci, Beck...)
- with the first two Mexicans ever to play in Germany
- ie with a team created on a shoe-string budget (@anglo, how much did you spend at the start of the season
)
- with a manager who was publicly given the prefix "ITERMIM" by the club's supervisory board president
- playing some of the most entertaining football in the Bundesliga, whilst being defensively solid
- producing a breathtaking season finish of 8 straight wins when all the others started to lose their nerves
bear in mind that virtually all the VFB players are on long-term contracts and that none of them show any inclination to leave (Gomez had offers from the likes of Juve, Khedira Milan...) and you know which Bundesliga club is doing the best work just now
the Veh-Heldt sporting-commercial management partnership is almost intimate in its understanding
and ABOVE ALL
the players form a TEAM, eine MANNSCHAFT
even the subs feel part of the adventure, the championship bonus will be divided equally amongst EVERYBODY including the backroom staff
and imagine that, the South-Latin Americans in the team, are the first to arrive at training
Congratulations to Veh, Heldt and the team
a well deserved , breathtaking result : difficult to repeat, no doubt, but with those two mangers Stuttgart could become a top three Bundesliga club for years to come whilst my beloved Bremen could fall out of the picture with even HSV under STevens overtaking them in the medium-term
the 57.000 stadium with an athletics track will now be converted into a pure football arena, I hear, anglo will tell us more no doubt
in fact, kipferl, when you have stopped celebrating, it would be a good idea to tell us a little bit about your Stuttgart that has managed to stay below the radar for so long
a good summary of the VFB ingredients of their success is found here (in German)
