How to measure a season

By: Steven | Comments 1 Comment

It’s an interesting question: how do you measure a season? What must happen for it to be called a success? What constitutes a failure? Is merely finishing one place higher than last season enough to deem a season a successful one? Perhaps, but that’s just not going to cut it here.
By all means, last season […]

Pienaar & Everton, Midfield Choices, Forward Questions

By: Steven | Comments No Comments

Now Westline is getting in on the Pienaar-to-Everton story. According to them, Dortmund have indeed been negotiating a deal with the Toffees to send Pienaar to the Liverpool club on a one-year loan deal with an option to buy. They also give a quote from Michael Zorc confirming this to be true.
UPDATE: Kicker is saying […]

Borussia Dortmund 8:0 FSV Witten

By: Steven | Comments 3 Comments

Dortmund are off to a flying start, as they won their first preseason friendly 8:0. Granted, FSV Witten suck (and even that’s probably an understatement), but still — a good result nonetheless.

“From Westermann to Rozehnal, nobody wants to join BVB”

By: Steven | Comments No Comments

So says the headline in today’s kicker.
I don’t think it’s the fact that nobody wants to join Borussia, but rather that people are easily persuaded by the thought of lucrative contract deals (see: Newcastle - Rozehnal) and European football (see: Stuttgart - Bastürk). Honestly, I can’t blame these players for their decisions to play elsewhere.
But […]

Onyewu: An interesting thought

By: Steven | Comments 5 Comments

A member of a BVB group list recently posted that he thought the club should go after Oguchi Onyewu, now that Newcastle United are actively pursuing David Rozehnal. And you know what? I agree with him 100%.
First off, Gooch is a mammoth of a human being. He is 6′4” and clocks in at 210 pounds. […]
