Der Lowen sank to yet another defeat last night, going down 1-0 at St Pauli. From the right up on the official website, it sounds like they were woeful during the first half, and not much better the second. Next week sees some welcome respite from the league, as TSV take on MSV Duisburg, the only team they have beaten this season, in the second round of the DFB Cup, at home. Last year they made a brave run to the quarter finals, were they were undone by a Bayern penalty deep into extra time. Back to the league, which has been a huge disappointment this year. Promotion is already looking like a pipe dream, and if Der Lowen keep up this early season form, relegation will be a real worry. For those unfamiliar with the set up of the Bundesliga, there are only two national leagues. If the unthinkable happened, and it has in the not too distant past, TSV would find themselves playing in what amounts to a semi professional regional league. Not good.
On a happier note, I am only an hour away from going to watch the resurgent Bantams take on the Cherries of Bournemouth. After last weeks stellar performance, hopes are high fro a victory to maintain our position at the top of league two, after which a piss up in a brewery beckons. The world seems a fine place today.
