Going Deutsch

On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, an episode of the Going Deutsch podcast! (Lucky you) Dortmund and Bayern draw 1-1 in the first Klassiker of the season, St. Pauli finally score a goal at home as they win in the bottom of the table clash against Holstein Kiel, and Frankfurt continue to be the most entertaining side in the league as they put four past a hapless Heidenheim. In the Zweite: Paderborn hold on to top spot after beating Elversberg 3-1, HSV start the post-Baumgart era with a win against Karlsruher, and Kaiserslautern are the league's surprise package as they demolish Schalke 3-0. Also on the pod, a Leipzig demolition, no room at the inn for Ralf Fährmann, and Julian Justvan having the worst day.

Going Deutsch returns following the final international break of 2024, leading to celebrations everywhere (more for the end of the international break but I'll take it.) Bayer Leverkusen come from 2-0 down to beat Heidenheim 5-2, Borussia Dortmund remain perfect at home with a 4-0 win over Freiburg, and El Plastico is one of the most interesting games of the weekend as Hoffenheim get the Christian Ilzer era off to a perfect start. In the Zweite, the seeded batch at the top sees Paderborn race into pole position, Steffen Baumgart is sacked following HSV's 2-2 draw with Schalke, and Elversberg look like they're mounting a serious promotion push following a 2-0 win away at Düsseldorf. Also on the pod: early goal music, an ejector seat, a 37-year-old debutant, a two-year banana supply, and the x-odus from Twitter.

Be prepared for freights on the Halloween episode of Going Deutsch … that or round two of the DFB Pokal. Arminia Bielefeld are the only third tier side into the Round of 16 after knocking out 4th placed Bundesliga side Union Berlin, Hertha beat Heidenheim in the stadium that will host the final, and Köln ask "what crisis?" as they beat Holstein Kiel 3-0. Also on the pod, the hottest take from Phil Bonney, Klopp becomes a sell-out, and which side decided to send in the clowns (I think) with their celebration.

This episode is dedicated to the people of Valencia following devastating flooding in the area.
