Chat Bundesliga

We are back.  A quick two months of the summer has been and gone and we are raring to go for the new season which is just upon us.  Before we talk the Bundesliga we take a look at all the action of the lower leagues that started back up a bit earlier.  Jason and Mark are joined with deubt guest Billy Andrew and share the latest transfer window activity that's happened other the summer.  We all voice our opinions on who looks to have done good in the window and others that are a bit "meh' as Jason put's it.  The lads share their predictions of the new season and discuss the big topic from Germany and that's players heading to the English PremierLeague for peanuts.  Is this a good or bad thing? We hope you enjoy!

Now this episode is a bit longer than usual, sit back and enjoy with a beer or 5, it sure is entertaining.  Last day of the Season in the Bundesliga most people would think it'll be boring because Bayern win it again.  It actually isn't.... the race for europe and the relegation battle is chaos and that's exactly what happened at the weekend.  Hertha Berlin were defeated at BVB and Stuttgart's last minute winner against koln made them safe, the scenes were what football is all about, going through all the emotions!!! Hertha will now play HSV in the relegation play offs.  Further up the table RB Leipzig clinched 4th spot and Leverkusen winnning against Freiburg and finishing 3rd was the Perfect send of for Rudi Voller.  Bielefeld's fight and gaining a point vs RB wasn't enough and they will be joining furth back down to Buli 2.  In other news 3 gaffers were gone after this matchday -  Adi Hutter (Gladbach), Florian Kohfeldt (Wolfburg) and Augsburgs Heiko Herrlich.  We share our thoughts on their departures.  In other news we discuss this Wednesday's massive Europa Final for Eintracht Frankfurt against Rangers which we all look forward too.  Part 2 Jason, Mark and Anton share their Bundesliga 11 along with the best subs.  We voice our Player of the year, Young player of the year and Manager of the Season along with predictor league and fantasty league.  Enjoy Folks!!

The International break is over and we are back!  During our week off we visited The Falkirk Stadium to see the future Bundesliga stars.  That was Germany's u17s vs Scotland u17s where the Germans won 4-0.  We give an insight into what players stood out, particularly from Stuttgart and Bayern Munich.  The future looks bright for the lads in the squad for club and country.  Jason and Mark then do their matchday reviews.  Plenty of action to chat about from our favourite league at the weekend, where Yan Sommer keeps helping his Gladbach side, the unreal Augsburg, and the whole 12 man Bayern debate + All the rest of the action from the other clubs.  Plenty to rant about, Enjoy!!!

Jason and Mark are back to discuss all the big topics from the weekend.  We chat about the horrible scenes in Bochum where the game against  Gladbach was abandoned.  We share our thoughts on it along with what should be the outcome.  Back to the positive vibes -  We discuss Bayern Munich smashing more records, full capacities in stadiums, Stuttgart the comeback kings and Mainz showing how penalties are taken.  This season we always give Hertha a hard time on the pod, this week we don't.  Shoutout to them... They win their first game of 2022 which we congratulate massively,  It must be that Scottish coach involved + all the rest of the action, Enjoy!

Jason and Mark discuss all the Bundesliga action from MD26.  We start off with Bayern drawing "again" at a place they really don't like going to.  Koln gets the bragging rights in the Rheine derby.  Florian Wirtz was unfortunately involved in a really bad injury, we wish him all the best and a speedy recovery.  RB Leipzig's form under Tedesco continues as they hammer bottom side Furth and have 3rd spot in mind.  They aren't the only side who have top 4 ambitions in their mind.  Freiburg got an important win in a bid for Champions League status.  Hansi Flick watched on at the impressive Niko Schlotterbeck who scored an absolute rocket to win it.  Maybe he's wanting him upfront for Die Mannschaft with a finish like that?  We also look at the wrong end of the table where there's yet again, another debate on struggling Hertha, another defeat and another sacking.  This time Tayfun Korkudt is out the door and is replaced with Felix McGath, can he turn things around? Meanwhile, the Sosa/kalajdzik effect at Stuttgart pays off with an important point at Union to put them into the playoffs.  Another step to safety for the club.  Plus plenty more action from the weekend, enjoy!

After a week off due to commitments, We are back to discuss all the Bundesliga action from matchday 25.  Two parts to this week's episode.  Part 1 Jason and Mark discuss the clubs in Europe.  On Tuesday night Mark watched Bayern Munich thumping RB Salzburg 7-1 (8-2 agg) and share his thoughts on how Bayer Leverkusen will get on in Italy against Atalanta and Live reaction from Eintracht's big win at Real Betis.  We then kick off with some great games that were on display from the weekend.  Bayer Leverkusen getting a valuable point at the Allianz,  Stuttgart getting that big win, yes that's correct... a win!! and Furth now definitely finishing bottom.  If we are wrong with this prediction it could come back to bite us in the arse.  Part 2 we welcome back a special guest, Jamie Allen.  Jamie makes his second appearance on the podcast sharing his thoughts on troubled Hertha, his predictions for the top 4 and Wolfsburg rediscovering their form.  We end the podcast with a quick recap from the Pokal Cup quarter-finals, where we felt really sorry for Karlsruher chucking the 2 goal lead in Hamburg to then be defeated on pens and Bochum gifting Freiburg a place in the Semis.   The draw has been made - Jamie and Jason say who they want to win and who they think will lift the trophy.

Jason and Mark are back to discuss all the Bundesliga action from matchday 29.  With them is a return for Anton showing a brave face after Dortmund's 4-2 home defeat in last week's Europa League by Glasgow Rangers. Anton tells us what went wrong and still has the belief they can turn it around on Thursday at Ibrox. Perhaps he has built momentum from the weekend 6-0 win against Gladbach?  Plenty other goals were spoken about involving Nkunku and Olmo tearing it up in Berlin,  Bayern's 4-1 win which was harsh on Furth, Augsburg unbeaten run at home coming to and end + all the other action.  At the end of the pod we discuss Union Berlin poor form after Max Kruse departure, no goal or win since.  Are union at threat for the next few years losing key players for nothing?  Can they find alternatives on the cheap? We discuss all of that.  Enjoy!
