Labbadia was the last HSV Coach who wasn't a catastrophy. I always laughed about him, but I think he is a decent short-term solution for a club like Wolfsburg. Their problem is that they have a squad full of overrated mercenaries and no team cohesion. They are just bought any okay-ish player who didn't run away without any considerations if they need this type of player.
If they'd replace half their squad with hard working team players, they'd quality for europe.

He´s probably the best short-term solution to avoid relegation (from a hopeless position). Hamburg was such a mess, but considering that he served as the coach and director of football in that sh*thole his results were outstanding. They should kept him as the coach, and hired a director of football.
Anyway looks like Hamburg is finally due. It´s amazing how a club managed to turn a whole country of football fans against them, simply by their ineptitude. Everybody wants to see them get relegated.
Trust me, they will stay up. Those feckers will sonehow manage it.
Regarding Labbadia: I also think he‘s okay-ish for the rest of the season, but they signed him until 2019. Which means they will stay up (there are two worse teams and the 3rd from the second league is not good enough for the playoff) and he will sign „his“ players in the summer. Than they will fire him around Christmas 2018 and they wasted a year.
I don’t mind, it’s Wolfsburg and their 5 supporters after all.
Someone that works on weekends & gets, for example, a Monday off, will be more than happy, don't you think? Probably a minority but still. If you want to watch a game live, away from home, you'd have to live with the consequences. Applies for many of the supporters from Bayern or Dortmund, who regularly fly out to support their teams in Europe - during the week.
Frankfurt v Leipzig as well as Dortmund v Augsburg are played on a Monday EXACTLY BECAUSE OF scheduling issues & it helps the teams. I'd be mad if it becomes the norm, but if it is done to help teams have longer breaks after their European ties, then so be it. There was uproar last season, iIrc, because, (was it Schalke?) the had to play 48 hours after their European game?do.ob said:
EDIT; It was Freiburg. 55 hours between two games because of scheduling difficulties due to the 2. Bundesliga, midweek matches and, of course, the Europa League.
Not to mention Monday games have been a thing since the 90‘s
They'll make it to 16th place, and fluke themselves through in the dodgiest thinkable manner, as usual.

I heard the same happened with the HSV spy at the Bremen practice facilities today.
My name? Uh Bern-hard Hollerbach.
You mean Bernd?
No Bernd is my twin brother.
Hi all,
Best of luck to whoever you support in the Bundesliga this weekend . . . and Monday.
Speaking of Monday. . . Last Monday saw the first Monday Bundesliga trial with Frankfurt beating Leipzig 2-1.
Does anyone know if this was the first scheduled Monday Bundesliga match or was there some match in the past scheduled for a Monday for some reason?
Also after the magnificent Kevin-Prince Boateng put Eintracht 2-1 up in the 25th minute....Something weird appeared on the screens at the Waldstadion . . . in what looks like a fan. . .possibly protesting at Monday football maybe?
I would greatly appreciate more information on this from any German speaking posters here so as to try and understand what this guy is saying.

@RW2: The video is three or four years old and pretty well known in germany. The guy sarcastically celebrates the end of the weekend.
He says/screams: "Moooonday yeeea Moonday! Finally f*ck weekend is over! No more drinking! Yea! Finally back to work! Yea yea yea!"
It fits really well to the protest and i laughed hard when i saw it.

@RW2 the fans are basically bemoaning the fact that the fan culture in the stadium is getting destroyed in favor of TV-Ratings. They feel that Monday and to some extend Friday are bad days to watch football in the stadium and the only real day for stadium going football fans is Saturday at 3pm. They accuse the DFL (German FA) of putting the fans interest second to commercial interests.
One of the weirdest goals I've ever seen. Duisburg score a goal that gets invalidated, the goal music in the stadium is on so the keeper thinks the goal counted. He starts organizing his bottles and meanwhile Ingolstadt come the other end and score...
Welcome to the modern era of sports!
Isn't that offside? How's VAR not chalked that off?
Still no issue from me, Hamburg have finally run out of luck.

Next week's game will be crucial, they're playing Mainz at home. If they mess that one up as well they're gonna need an even more epic miracle than in previous seasons to save themselves.
Haven't Hamburg got Bayern Munich away in the near future. That will be the usual 7/8-0.
You usually need 35 points to stay up or at least get the play off so take out the game in Munich and they need 6 wins from last 9 to get that. They can barely score a goal.
Their nine lives have been used up last few seasons.
German VARs couldn't get reliable reliable automated offside lines, so they scrapped that part for now and only intervene on the obvious offside calls.
I was watching Mainz vs Wolfsburg and the game was played at a very high tempo, it was just like watching a PL clash. Is this a one off? I catch a game very once in a bluemoon but I always read about how slow the Bundesliga is compared to English football. I havent seen it myself
I don't think so tbh as I remember watching Leverkusen vs Leipzig last season and it was played at a high tempo as well, I found it very entertaining it was literally end to end stuff.
I see this more often than not in the Bundelisga. Bayern have made it a one club league but the rest of the competition is pretty riveting.
Even two relegation sides playing against each other is usually interesting. Even the bad sides try to consistently play good Football. Over the years I have found watch the average Bundesliga match more entertaining than the average PL match.
Indeed. The atmosphere is always electric too, with all the flags and the high decibels in the ground making each game seem like a cup final
Reus back in form just ahead of the World Cup. Will be a massive boost for Germany. I'm worried that Borussia has a Reus dependence though.
Bundesliga tempo is usually good.
If anything it's too end to end when you need a team to put the foot on the ball and control and slow the game down for 10 minutes. Only really Bayern are capable of that.

lol. . . Thanks for the explanation.
Dortmund have a lot to live up to tomorrow relative to Frankfurt's protest.
Schalke take the lead after an excellent counter, what a cross by Caligiuri. Burgstaller keeps his cool and finishes bottom left.
Leverkusen down to ten men after Kohr got a second yellow.

Only just saw this. Hillarious stuff.
Nice equalizer from Koziello
Now 2-1 Koln, been playing some good stuff these last 10 minutes

well done Köln
Reus goal on the counter for Dortmund.
At this point shouldn't they put " around the word Liga?
Sokratis gets beat on a corner and Dortmund concede 1-1.
That should have been the winner from Dahoud.
Its crazy how good still is Joaquin at 36 years old.
