Well, as most of you know, BVB has lost the German Cup match with Hannover 96. As of right now, BvM is still coach and we have to get ready to go visit UNDEFEATED 1. FC Nürnberg.
While they are undefeated, 1. FC Nürnberg are also even on points with us (12) and are sitting in our "mangagement imposed season minimum goal" of fifth place in the Bundesliga table.
1. FC Nürnberg are at a +4 goal difference with 10 goal for and 6 against. We sit in seventh place with a +1 goal difference with 11 goals scored and 10 against.
Aachen sits between the two clubs with a +2 goal difference at 14 goals for and 12 against.
As some of you might recall, we won in Nürnberg last season through goals by one player who is no longer with us (Odonkor) and one player who I don't believe has seen 30 Bundesliga minutes this season (Sahin).
I know I would like to see us end 1. FC Nürnberg's undefeated run as I'll be at the Frankenstadion cheering our guys on.
We got a great deal for him, but I think this team misses Odonkor and I know I'd like to see BvM sit Pienaar's sorry ass down for one match. Doesn't have to be Sahin to replace him. Could be Amoah.
Maybe some time on the bench to cool off will help Pienaar, who a friend of mine who was at the Hannover match called "F#cking Worthless!"
Of course the difference between us last season and 1. FC Nürnberg last season is that 1. FC Nürnberg actually addressed their field leadership problem, bringing in former Czech captain Tomas Galasek, who has actually boosted the play of his comrade, Jan Polak, who FCN fans thought was a "fehleinkauf" (bad buy) after his performance last season.
BVB would have never made such a move. Why? Apparently, anyone over 29 is "too old" to bring in as a new player. And we're suffering the woes of a team with no leader, no team spirit and no experience on the bench to relieve the underperformers.
BVB management can learn a lesson from 1. FC Nürnberg's managment.
The match? I'm hoping we can pull off a win, but I'll be happy with a draw here. 1. FC Nürnberg are playing some decent football and they play as a team. They will be hard to beat.
I will cheer my lungs out for BVB while more than likely wearing a 1. FC Nürnberg scarf under my shirt.
Why? 1. FC Nürnberg still has a piece of my heart after having been my "local team" for almost 15 years. While we were winning titles and the European Cup, I also suffered in the Regionalliga South and the 2. Liga with the FCN fans.
Yes, I know about their friendship with Scheisse and it doesn't concern me. There are quite a few 1. FC Nürnberg fans who like and "support" BVB because of their hatred for FC Bayern.
More FCN fans hate us not because of their friendship with Scheisse, but because of the final day of the 1994 season.
We beat FCN 4-0 at the Westfalenstadion to relegate FCN to the 2. Liga. While many of the FCN fans cried in the Nordtribune, many BVB fans rushed across the pitch and around the stadium to mock them.
I've spent many years apologizing for that though I wasn't there.......
In closing, I just want to see our guys fight and fight hard. Win or lose, goddamnit just FIGHT!!!
I want to be in a good mood when I meet "Borussia" after the match for a few pints at Finnegan's Irish Pub in the city.
I think anyone in Nürnberg for the match that day is welcome to join us. Of course, you will have to buy your own beer! LOL!! ;)
