Earlier this week I read that Jupp Heynckes had told the squad to enjoy their time at the top of the table because it wasn’t going to last. He was right, but it wasn’t through any fault of their own that Leverkusen slipped down to second place. The match against Bochum showed a determined team, [...]

Complacency and Victory will rarely be seen walking the beach together and those choosing to rest on their laurels soon find themselves driven from their leadership position like an aged ape with a bum leg.

Undoubtedly we’re all giddy as schoolgirls about this weekend’s start to the season, but the longest week supporters have to sit through has also been the quietest on the news front.
Vidal is back from Chile and set for Saturday’s match against a stumbling Mainz side, who are already off to a shaky start. With [...]

One of the nice things about the Pokal for those of us beyond a train ride away from the stadium, is getting to see teams like FC Magdeburg and SC Preußen Münster play- the latter of whom provided some of the more exciting footy of the opening round so far, and who didn’t deserve to [...]
