I look into Hamburg, and what to say i hope they come stronger because i remember their last seasons were a truly shame for a club that big.

I want to see them making good steps into this Bundesliga, i see fans destroying and taking part of the grass to their homes. But well after so long wait is understable to cut some grass and take it as a memory.

Yes it was not so good farewell i feel like it was more bitter than we can expect. I think he can become a really good manager for Real Madrid, the main problem is gonna be how he manage the dressroom, is not the same the BY04 and the Real Madrid one full of egos and dramaquens.

No idea either. Those personalities/egos are very, very different from anything he'll have experienced before (I don't think his on-field relationship with players really count). I'm really happy he's going there though, if it works out, he's a long-term post-Slot replacement. If it doesn't, I enjoy seeing another rich team muck about in drudgery.

Thanks buwaytress.
And maybe it's time for Son to finally come back home and end the career where it all started

+100! One of my favourite footballers whose current situation really bears someone outside taking a look and offering a chance, and I think they would welcome him with open arms. Hell, maybe win the Pokal with them if not take them to Europe!

Have to admit I never heard of Merlin until this news, curious to see how HSV approach this return from purgatory.

Meanwhile, I'm quite looking forward to welcoming Hamburg back next season (in the few years following relegation, I'd been enjoying putting their high value odd wins on accas). I don't care what people say about dinosaurs -- their scores of injured fans certainly don't! It's going to be a party next season still, I'm sure.

as a very big werder supporter, i am very happy about hamburg's return to the 1st bundesliga even though i have enjoyed it very much in recent years that hsv has always narrowly missed promotion at the end of every 2nd bundesliga season
but the longing for a big north derby was always there and now it will be a reality again next season

Yes I am also very curious but will surely be very difficult to stay in the Bundesliga.

Nice to hear  - Son is one of my favourite footballers too.
I knew some die-hard Kickers Offenbach fans who also supported Leverkusen (great friendship between Kickers Offenbach and Bayer Leverkusen) and they really felt betrayed by Son and even asked me for some Korean swear words but I think that was not the case with HSV fans.
And Son would surely agree to lower wages (OK not realistic ).
But one thing is for sure Bundesliga teams are always good for some surprise transfers like Raul (Schalke) or Davor Suker when he suddenly played for 1860 Munich

Thanks cygan I did not expect the matchday win.
✂️

you definitely deserve the yellow cap!

after bochum and kiel were relegated, further bonus points were also awarded.
furthermore, the last two bonus questions are still open, namely who will perhaps be the third relegated team and who will be the top scorer - here it looks like Harry Kayne (fcb) will take the top scorer's crown. he leads with 25 goals followed by Serhou Guirassy (bvb) with 20 goals

It was a fun first season for me and will be joining in for next season as I enjoy the kickapp alot better than the other one used for the forum pools. No problems with the scores or the points tallying after matches are finished.
Completely forgot about these bonus points to be added to our overall points at the end of the season.
Picked Bayern Munich to be champions and Harry Kane to be top goal scorer so still can battle for fourth last place.

Thanks for the updates Cygan!

Until you mention it i didnt now the derby of Werder Bremen is the Hamburg, i just have to google it and now i see its called the "derby of the north", i always know other derbys from Germany but somehow i dont know this one.

About your derby being relegated.... well is quite a super pleasure sensation for the early moments but when the years start to pass like in this one, you start to miss playing the derby.

the hamburg city derby is always between st. pauli and hamburger sv and the true north derby between werder bremen and hamburger sv
i definitely plan to be live in the weserstadium for the north derby next season

[cygan]

even though all matches on the last matchday will take place this saturday, the very last reminder is still coming this friday
so if you want to take advantage of the very last chance and get a free bet on sportsbet.io, you should submit your picks...
the following participants still have to do this:

Code: Saint-Loup el che morvillz7z 1r0n1c darxiaomi LTU_btc Omikifuse Trofo buwaytress vd309 Ulven shogun47 rdbase mv1986

now every goal can decide the pool championship - will it be Saint-Loup or KTChampions?

[buwaytress]

Thanks for the reminder. Final picks in, good luck gentlemen!

I get your sentiment perhaps? I would enjoy very, very much to have Everton relegated (you can imagine how often I was disappointed with their great escapes in the past decade) or to see Man Utd go down (they should have this season but the Championship sides were so bad) -- yet at the same time, you miss derbies because they do bring up the best in you. Merseyside derby will already be different from next season once Everton move to their shiny monstrosity but there is some unique energy in getting one over your neighbours!

Don't think it's ever been (so much) about the wages for him. I believe he had offers before but he wants first-team football (and the leadership role at Spurs). He knows he's not a spring chicken any longer so a more reserved role and one without Ange's highly demanding football might appeal. I don't know, of course, it's just been a couple of stressful seasons for him and I always feel there's more goodwill at a former club, one might say, for a full circle on a career.

[darxiaomi]

Picks submited, im not fully trust in them but well lets see what happens with my last chance of winning a round.

So much things in play for this last round on Budnesliga, european spots to be decided so a few teams are playing for a lot thinking about the next season.

[buwaytress]

Oh no Freiburg! Just missed out on the final spot, and well, we should really congratulate BVB for turning their season around. I mean sure, they fell far off the radar, couldn't muster anything but to qualify for Champions League on final day... when their rivals were in ascendancy, well -- you have to give it to them.

We confirm Heiddehheim get the playoff spot now, and Mainz get Conference. Not too bad.

A ripe congratulations to Bundesliga pool winners. Next season, I won't go easy on you. Enjoy the biers while you can.

It would be epic to reach Champions league spot with negative goal difference, but it didn't happened. No idea how Remontada is in German language, but Dortmund made it. At one point they were so far away from it, in first part of season BVB were just terrible, it looked that they will have to fight to avoid relegation.
Worst season in Bundesliga for me personally, but at least got yellow cap once. I'll be back next season,.
Congrats to our winner KTChampions and everyone who ended in prize spots. Thanks goes to cygan and Sportsbet for another great season. You know guys, before joining this pool I didn't follwed Bundesliga much. But I realised that I was making big mistake, you made me to love Bundesliga.

[mv1986]

Congratulations @KTChampions! @Saint-loup would have needed that exact 2-1 result in the game Mainz - Bayer Leverkusen. That would have been a breath-taking result till the final whistle I guess Mainz had all the chances to do it. They were strong, but well done to those who won this season.

@jeremypwr thanks for showing some mercy and letting me finish second last. I know you saw I am struggling and stopped submitting

Well done KTChampions, you're always someone I know does it well. And 1r0n1c, sweet final GW! Joining us in BSFL next season? Deadline's today!

It wouldn't be as epic as if United got to Champions League -- 16th place and -12 goal difference. I'm still finding it impossible to come to terms with that. BVB clutch yes, but I'm sure deep down they know they really ought to not have put themselves in that position in the first place.

German football actually is quite fun in the .2, from what I read, it's crazy support and competition -- just impossible to find any streams to watch.

@jeremypwr thanks for showing some mercy and letting me finish second last. I know you saw I am struggling and stopped submitting

Even in defeat, one can be magnanious

[darxiaomi]

Congratulations to KTChampions and all the other winners of prizes.

Pretty difficult Bundesliga to guess it was this one, some always trusted teams were a disaster during the season, and Lverkusen this year was not the same as the last one asides of being a good contender.

I ended up being the only one without a single round win, sorry about that.

[KTChampions]

First place after last year's second place looks like progress   Thank you very much cygan for your work in managing this pool. Sometimes it's hard for me to just make a picks, I imagine what it would be like to be in your place.

Thank you very much to everyone for the congratulations! I thought it was impossible to beat morvillz7z (he easily guesses 2-2 results) but this season luck was on my side. I hope nothing changes next season  

P.S. BTC address sent, the same one from which I made fees.

[Saint-loup]

Well I don't know because KTChampions finally finishes 5 points ahead thanks to some other points from the bonus predictions I guess. That's a wide and well deserved victory, so congratulations to him and to all other contestants of course. Thanks to Cygan for managing this contest, it's nice to have one a bit different from the others using Superbru.

I had a look at the table on kicktipp and it looks to me as if you had the same number of bonus points or am I wrong?

When you go through the results you and KTChampions had in all those rounds, you were so close all the time. It was almost always a similar result. The biggest deviant the two of you ever had was six points on match day 8 and that won KTChampions the title. Enjoy the Bitcoin guys
