There's 8 points given up now that we should have easily had (3 here, 2 against RB, 3 against Paderborn) - then we're a game and a half on top. * me this season is going to finish me as a football fan

Imagine going 22-8 goal difference in your last 4 games and still not being ahead in the title race

Check out that Sancho Badge tap after his goal

What does a badge tap mean?

Hazard was kissing the badge all last season.

Hopp bleibt ein Hurensohn... Is that all the banner said?

Hopp bleibt ein Hurensohn... Is that all the banner said?

Yeah - but its a bit more about it than that.

Hopp is definitely a threat to the fabric of the Bundesliga and all it encompasses. If you allow more majority owners, you'll end up losing the ultras, which would kill the atmosphere. You'd also lose standing room behind the goals, as seats make the investors more money. For BVB, if that was the case, you'd probably have seen Haaland playing in front of Leipzig today. Without the ultras, you'll see many more nazi's in the stands. The ultras are one of the most important parts of German football, and pushing them away will kill the league.

But its a bit deeper than that. SAP (the company that made Hopp a billionaire) is a major sponsor of the DFB - which is why you see all the white rich blokes standing in solidarity with Hopp (im looking at you, KHR and Christian Streich. They'll show Torunarigha a red card for responding to racism from the stands, but stand hand in hand with Hopp when the ultras call him a son of a whore.

Union/Wolfsburg has just been delayed for 10 minutes for the same thing

Here's a translation from the Bayern Ultras on their thoughts.

Some background about why the Ultra's are not just about atmosphere

Fear on the Yellow Wall: BVB ultras threatened by hooligans – DW – 11/19/2018

Borussia Dortmund's ultras have done more than most to combat right-wing extremism in German football. But according to local media, their hegemony on the Südtribüne has been challenged by some unwelcome visitors.

Almost every Ultras group in Germany is united on this front. Even had protests in the 3.Liga

Heard a couple of stories from friends in the Sudtribune Dortmund.

One is that they’ll let 999 ultras in
The other is that they’ll mobilise the crowd around outside the stadium and make enough noise to hear inside

[wadistance]

Only German club to win a title this year. Huge mentality.

A couple of Koln club officials have tested positive so that will hinder things a bit.

Eh, hold your horses. I'd say there's also a good chance it'll collapse.
