Are you City in Disguise???

The German Bundesliga still has one more round of matches left to play, but barring a raft of dubious/miraculous results, der Lowen are safe. They are currently only three points of the relegation play off place, but have a far superior goal difference to Osnabruk. It would take a goal swing of 14 to see the Mighty 1860 forced into a playoff for the final relegation place. The recent form of TSV has closely resembled the late season collapse of Bradford City. No wins in ten cost the manager his job, and saw us dragged perilously close to the drop. Ewaled Lienen has taken the reigns. Next season will be the final season, for the time being, of Lars Bender, who at the end of the 09/10 season will move to Bayer Leverkusen. He was also a transfer target of Real Madrid. The fee has not been disclosed. Next season we will be hoping for better luck with the fixture list, our preferred destination is Hamburg for the St Pauli game, with Kaiserslauten our second choice. Let's hope they can cobble together a stronger showing than this campaign.
