Berlin-Sudkreuz. A sign indicating this is a non smoking station also carries a subsidiary sign with directions to the smoking area. Germany personified.

I despise international breaks. On the plus it gives an op to catch a landespokal game. Checking this weekends games, this one caught the eye. Oh er?

The Dresden Frauenkirche looks over the last remains of the Carola Bridge which saw fit to collapse in the middle of the night last September. Plans for a new bridge are ongoing and uncertain. Anyone familiar with German civil engineering projects will be unsurprised.

Textbook Bundesliga 2 tonight. 1st home to 3rd bottom, there was only going to be one result.
Throw in a comedy own goal, all the essential ingredients for Europe's most bonkers league.
HSV doing HSV things too. It's April. We know how this usually pans out. Will they screw up promotion again?

From despair and on fast track to BL2 a few weeks ago, 10 points from a possible 12 in the last four games, the world of FC Union looks a whole load more positive.
Enough points left to make European Football next season? ;0

Apparently her brother has emptied her grave to cover up her murder. Rather futile as ol Phil isn't here to answer for his crimes.
