Guys, we get to go to Shitenkirchen and beat the hell out of "Die Krappen" next Sunday!!!


While we will be missing Kruska because he earned his fifth yellow card of the season against Wolfsburg, Scheisse will be missing their captain Marcelo Bordon because he also earned his fifth yellow yesterday in Nuernberg.


Scheisse has played well without Bordon this season, but we've also played well in away matches we weren't expected to get anything out of.


And the Derby is the Derby!!


Would be a great time to see Valdez finally break his scoring drought!!!


Come on!!! Let's get behind the team for this Derby!!!

I seriously doubt that we can count on that bit of luck we got against Wolfsburg to reappear, so we need to replicate that form we had against Bremen, and Aachen....

We'll also see how the BvM announcement affects the team's play. Will they rally around their coach or just go through the motions...I seriously hope NONE of them takes their foot off the gas...

I'll take the Bremen form. They were f#cking horrible against Wolfsburg. And they know if they are killed in a derby, the fans will f#cking kill them.

One thing I f#cking HATE about this team we have this season is that they always talk, talk, talk about what they "know they have to do", but then they NEVER f#cking go out and do the shit!

I really don't see anything changing much. They just aren't good enough and they don't give a good enough effort.

Frankfurt was the first time in a long time I thought they just played badly. They played worse against Wolfsburg.

I can see them going to Gelsenkirchen, getting spanked, not showing up against Leverkusen the next week and BvM leaving during the winter break.

I don't THINK or HOPE that is what will happen, but I know there's a real possibility it COULD.....

For one thing, only Frei, Smolarek, Amedick, Woerns and Dede seemingly have their "foot on the gas" right now. That's one of the major problems.

"smithfan" calls Lincoln a "diva", but right now, we've got about half of our field players on the pitch every weekend who act like they don't want to get their shirts dirty in pursuit of three points!

Tidbit from last week.

Through yellow card suspensions, we will be missing Marc-Andre Kruska while S04 will have to do without their captain, Marcelo Bordon.

If the projected lineups in "kicker" are correct, it looks like Degen will return to the lineup against Scheisse with Kringe returning to midfield.

It also looks like Sahin will play in front of the defense in place of the suspended Kruska.

Our projected lineup according to "kicker":

The positions are my best guess.


Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller

Right Back: Degen

Central Defenders: Amedick, Woerns

Left Back: Dede

Sweeper/D-Mid: Sahin

Midfield: Tinga, Kringe

Strikers: Valdez, Frei, Smolarek



Bench: Pirson (GK), Brzenska, Amoah, Pienaar, Saka, Huenemeier, Tyrala



Out: Kehl, Ricken, Metzelder (All getting fit again after injuries)

Kruska (Yellow Card Suspension)

good to see Saka and Tyrala on the bench..I'd like to see them get some playing time, but usually when the subs see the field it isn't a good thing...

Amedick has a chance to solidify himself as the third central defender. Looks like he's already done that and if Metzelder doesn't get back soon, he might be displaced!

The Tinga and Kringe Show will have to be magic...hopefully they can step up and get some good service for the forwards...

I'm looking forward to it! Bring on the Scheisse!

They've been on the bench for quite awhile now. But, Saka still plays for the amateurs while Tyrala rarely does anymore.

Amedick is already at least the third defender. And he has dibs on a starting spot when Woerns hangs them up. He's been outstanding since displacing Brzenska.

I don't know if you follow the e-mail list anymore, but I'll tell you that I've seriously soured on Florian Kringe.

I know he doesn't like playing out of position at right back, but he showed last season the he could do it well and this season he seems to be "tanking" because he doesn't want to play there.

I hope we get two new midfielders and put Kringe's ass on the bench.

Yeah. I hope the team that played in Bremen shows up. Other than that, it could be a "Black Sunday" for us in Germany's #1 Shithole (Gelsenkirchen)

Oh yes, the neon colored team from that town close to Lüdenscheid will be visiting the finest soccer venue in Europe on Sunday. Maintain your current form and you can look forward to some InterToto action next summer, your first taste of Europe in a good few years.

In all fairness, BVB has been playing some attractive football lately (even though it was a lucky win last week) and are catching the Königsblauen on the heels of a truly lame performance in Nürnburg last week. As I sign of sportsmanship, I will be drinking Brinkhofs (and not Veltins) as I watch the game on tv.

Viel Spaß!
