    Matchday 34- where it feels like the end of the season is coming

    I couldn’t watch the game tonight but just saw the score and was going to post the good news…but you beat me to it. Union Berlin, on the other hand….heartburn city. Massive game against Bochum on May 5. What other team has massive games against Real Madrid and Bochum in the same season? I...

    Matchday 34- where it feels like the end of the season is coming

    This is one of the best games I’ve ever seen Palace play. I liked the hiring of Oliver Glasner. I’m starting to love it.

    Matchday 34- where it feels like the end of the season is coming

    Wow this is kinda making up for last night’s catastrophe in Köpenick.

    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    The story I heard about Isco at Union is that Spanish contracts are quoted net of taxes, and German contracts are gross, and Isco thought he was getting like twice as much as he was actually getting as a result.

    2023-24 EPL Survivor Pool

    Yeah, I think that if today was the day to set the rules for the new season, I'd bump to 15. My only hesitation is if we get too many more players, whetether that will be too many. Was this a normal year for upsets? I'm not sure, but I have to imagine that the picks get sooo much harder after...

    2023-24 EPL Survivor Pool

    I would totally be up for that. I'm not sure how much interest we'd have, though. Show of hands?

    2023-24 EPL Survivor Pool

    Sorry for the anti-climatic ending: Stefan S. won the bragging rights, following the Newcastle draw the other night. I apologize that I didn't get to send that out so you could follow the end of the competition. But we've al been beaten by a 9-year old, so congrats to everyone here for that. If...

    dirtynine's Digest - The Thread for Kits

    Union Berlin is doing a limited Star Trek kit. https://www.union-zeughaus.de/union-berlin/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwwr6wBhBcEiwAfMEQs2geCQo_EINugjk43UZPLv43SlvHXbhAZwwtn_5dLUcK1JM7UylwKxoCNHoQAvD_BwE&o1=91b891e3-b808-4ddf-85d6-17e677ad72fe&o2=295209e0-0eb0-4409-ab56-f2270855850a

    Liverpool 23-24: The Long Klopp Goodbye

    I love that he’s staying with Leverkusen. Even if it’s only one more year. Even if it’s bad for Union Berlin. Even he’s doing this so he can be at Real Madrid. Anything that slows down the process of these 10-12 clubs being the black hole of global football, absorbing everything in their path.

    Match Week 29/FA Cup Quarter Finals - and will The Rovers Return?

    Really nice day for Brenden Aaronson today. He had a goal and an assist, and was probably the best player on the pitch today. Another home win for Union Berlin, who have taken 16 of 21 from their 7 home matches under Bielijca. I think that we can reasonably breathe easy on any relegation...

    MW28 - Too early for a clever title

    Hahahaha see above ^^^ The truth is though, unless you support one of a small handful of teams, you're going to be miserable 95% of the time. I think I used up my one shot last season for Union Berlin and I'm gonna pay for it now for decades. But keep in mind where we found each other....

    MW28 - Too early for a clever title

    My friend's message to me at the end of the game: "Soooo rooting for palace is like rooting for the Jets. Got it" Pretty much.

    MW28 - Too early for a clever title

    A friend is at his first ever EPL game today at Selhurst. He's with his two sons and a friend of his. I think they've had a pretty fun one to be at.
