I followed along with a pirated stream while IM'ing w/an old galpal who lives (destitute and with two children) in Lampertheim and had it going on the tube at her end of things
Mentioned to her early on that Augie haven't played in the German top flight since the year before the Beer Hall Putsch
One of the most surreal moments of my life was coming back into town after a rare visit to my hometown, getting on a bus for home and seeing a clone-like gaggle of unusually tall, lean chaps in shorts, tees and buzz-cuts with shopping bags in their hands strolling up Michigan Avenue
Closer inspection revealed the words Groclin Dyskoblia on the backs of their shirts...at which point I knew exactly what it meant

prostakRoyalChicagoFCprostak Depending on how tenuous you want to get, there could be four. My Polish team, Odra Wodzislaw, may yet pull off a thoroughly undeserved survival. After being awful all season, they're 1 point from safety, albeit with Wisla as one of their last two opponents. Still, they are masters of the unlikely victory, so maybe Ekstraklasa football will remain in that backwater of Upper Silesia for another year.
Seconded, if it needed to be --would be pleased to hear of a desired outcome
Well. They lost the winnable game (home to Śląsk Wrocław), so now have to win at Wisła and hope Arka and Piast Gliwice both lose.
It's annoying how a season which has involved doing the double over Legia has sunk to this depth, but really Odra have been on the brink of relegation for years now - it's just that this season only Jagiellonia have been docked points for corruption, rather than 4 or 5 teams as the case has been. The sad thing is, Odra have yet to be found guilty of any fixing (I use that term as it wouldn't be entirely unfair to assume guilt until proven otherwise when it comes to corruption in Poland), yet teams who've suffered demotions and the like are now back in the Ekstraklasa, almost as strong as before. Still, all this helps to explain why only 3 Polish teams can regularly expect gates topping 10.000. And unsurprisingly, these comprise three of this season's top four. Bleak viewing...

handbags_harris KNVB Beker Final 1st Leg - Ajax 2-0 Feyenoord.
Siem de Jong scored both, the opener on 6 minutes, the second on 7 minutes. Feyenoord have it all to do at de Kuip on May 6th. Ajax should see this through as, on this showing and the meetings between the sides over the season, Ajax are a far superior side.
For those that are interested, KNVB Beker final 2nd leg:
Feyenoord 1-4 Ajax.
Feyenoord thoroughly outlayed on their own patch, but it's of no consequence really as Feyenoord are through to the Europa League by virtue of their 4th place finish.
Spoke to Ed in the week, somewhat biassed in his opinions but he was saying the KNVB are very pro-Ajax and pandered to them so the final could be 2-legged whinging about the away-fans ban and the fact that if they were able to take fans they would only be able to take 2k. Seems fair enough to me, but when you hate a club as much as Feyenoord fans hate Ajax then any victory is sweet, any defeat extremely bitter.

France, top flight, last day
Marseille were champions going in; the rest of the top five were unsettled (top two to UCL group stage; third to UCL play-off round; fourth to UEL play-off round; fifth --owing to Marseille winning the Coupe de la Ligue-- to UEL third qualifying round; the table went...
2) Lille 70 pts/+33
-----------------------
3) Lyon 69 pts/+24
-----------------------
4) Auxerre 68 pts/+12
5) Montpellier 66 pts/+8
------------------------
6) Bordeaux 64 pts/+19
Bordeaux got a man sent off six minutes in, and they never led in a game that they would lose 4-3 away to Lens (and their goals came two from the spot and another scored by the opposition), so that's last year's champions not playing in Europe next season
Montpellier, promoted just last season from Ligue 2 as runners up, cruised away to Coupe de France winners PSG, winning 1-3. In front of them, Auxerre grabbed a late winner away to Sochaux, where it ended 1-2 and with the hosts playing with ten men.
Lyon beat relegated Le Mans 2-0, so it was on Lille to do the business away to Lorient...where they came up short, losing 2-1 after scoring first and later missing from the spot, and the failure to secure at least a point knocked them out of the Champions League frame altogether as Lyon finished in second and Auxerre in third; Lille are into the play-off round of the Europa League, and Montpellier be entered at the third qualifying round
Spain, top flight, last day/matches for UEFA qualification (not involving the top two; title & relegation to be settled on Sunday)
Getafe held onto sixth position and a berth in the third qualifying round of the Europa League with a thumping win 0-3 away to Atletico, who mailed it in after winning the Europa League Final on Wednesday and now await an encounter with Sevilla in the final of the Copa del Rey; Villarreal, who came back from three goals down to take a 3-all draw home from Zaragoza that leaves them in seventh (a win wouldn't have mattered on the day, as Getafe and Villarreal were on level points headed in --with the former holding the head-to-head tiebreaker)
In the nightcaps, Mallorca earned a 2-0 home win over Espanyol as the ten men of Sevilla scored a late, late, late winner away to Almeria for a 2-3 win, which kept Sevilla in fourth and in the UCL play-off round at Mallorca's expense; the latter, who gathered on the pitch and to view on the big screen the final moments of action in Almeria, earned entry at the play-off round of the Europa League with their fifth place finish in the league
It's my understanding that with Atletico entered in the group stage of the Europa League by virtue of winning it on Wednesday, and with UCL-bound Sevilla and themselves squaring off for the Copa del Rey, Spain won't get an "extra" Europa League berth --it goes to a Danish or Maltese something or other; too bad for Villarreal, in other words
Five games in Spain kick off at 6 PM BST on Sunday, with both the title and all three relegations to be decided on the very last day --what fun!

LOL @ finishing on 96 points and not being champions. Oh well, couldn't have happened to a more classless club I suppose.
O yeh, Bayern completed the domestic double by defeating Werder 4-0 in the DFB-Pokal final. What's really annoying about this Bayern is how pleasant their football is to watch. They've largely eradicated the spawny 1-0s for lovely attacking play and an excellent youth development program - Muller and Badstuber being two examples of home-grown players who've starred this season. They're still weisswurst-chewing bastards though.

Not in Bochum though, alas. I do plan to go to FCN in Dortmund though and that will not be a million miles away from you. We'll organise something.

Yes. Are you coming over for that then?
I might be living in Ruhr around then, so fairly inconvenient for either tie. I'll give you a shout closer to the time, Starfish.
