Additionally, the club's sports director reported his backpack stolen earlier last week. A woman found it in a park in Hamburg; it contained among other things the club's salary list.

Doesn't sound like something one should be toting around in a backpack.

Hamburg SV, who narrowly escaped relegation to Second League two seasons in a row have played their first competition match of the season yesterday, a cup game against 3rd league team Carl Zeiss Jena. Hamburg lost 2-3 in overtime. Their new captain even managed to injure himself during warm up so he couldn't play.

Maybe this year they'll finally leave the Bundesliga. Their last seasons have been nothing less than embarrassing and shameful.

I love the clock they have at the stadium that tells the time they have been in the Bundesliga. It's asking for a relegation:

It's annoying many people. They're the only club to have been in the top tier since the start of Bundesliga's modern era in 1963.

95th minute equalizer in the Dutch national league, not bad for a goalkeeper.

The next thing in a string of mishaps for Hamburg. A t-shirt "Only the HSV" turns out to have its imagery from a Berlin football club. Hamburg have taken the shirt off their webpage. It's a bit of a goof troops these days.

Danish newspapers are naturally all going crazy over this. Understandably so, it is very spectacular.

Also, Bendtner has scored in 3 games in a row.

And they lost the first game of the season. 5 - 0 to Bayern.

That was our second string, bar Messi and Suárez. Thing is, our second string shouldn't look so much out of his depth like they did. That transfer ban has hurt us and our squad isn't up to it.

2 games into the season and yep. I hate football.

I am undecided and on the fence. Local team, meh season with a few great games. Forest, horrifying until today and badly screwed by the Football League's so-called Financial Fair Play.
Going to see the local team tomorrow.

One thing I am entirely sure of is that I am giving betting a wide berth from now on.

A day that sees Mourinho's Chelsea humiliated is a good day indeed.
