Matchday 07: FC Union Berlin – FC Sankt Pauli 2-0…

For fuck’s sake!

#(%&+%&#&%&%^@^$@(++~)_)%*#(%#”:_(^$#%$^#%$^*@!!!!!!!!

OK, now that all negative energy got out of the system, let’s start over again… Apparently it’s not about winning or losing here and we are probably part of the minority that wasn’t thinking promotion as a target at the beginning of the season, not because it didn’t seem realistic but simply because we don’t care so much about it. It’s not about winning (aah, here we go again🙂 ) but simply about being the best you can into the pitch and yesterday’s squad was…oh my fuckin’ god*…

* figure of speech😀

Matchday 06: FC Sankt Pauli – 1860 München 2-2

Could be better, could be worse

A Thursday game always kind of sucks. Full schedule and the next day of course you gotta work. The only thing making it better is Sankt Pauli crushing the ones setting foot in  Millerntor. And since SP has proved that the first three games belong to the past, expectations were  high for this one. Good company, good beer and the friendly environment of Soridon  made sure that our moral would be high. The Boys in Brown should do the rest…

Matchday 05: Karlsruher SC – FC Sankt Pauli 1-1

Fair enough!

Fucking sun in Greece won’t let it go, even now that we are close to the end of September. I tell you one thing. Going uphill from subway station to Soridon mid day when the sun is burning everything, needs good motivation. And yes, I had a really good one. Sankt Pauli against Karlsruher SC after the big turn. Warm atmosphere, cold beer, and a super oily souvlaki for lunch during half time. Can’t beat that!

Matchday 04: FC Sankt Pauli – Arminia Bielefeld 2-1

At last!

The Boys in Brown finally managed to join everybody else in the Liga 2 race, which has started without us some one month ago, by grabbing our very first points and putting an end to our completely negative start-up sequence, thanks to a last minute 2-1 over Arminia Bielefeld. Not only a 1910% deserved victory but also an incredibly sweet one, especially the way it happened, at the very last moment, when all the effort given during the entire match seemed that it would end up wasted – who said that pain and pleasure don’t go together?

Matchday 03: Dynamo Dresden – FC Sankt Pauli 1-0

Dangerous downhill

The previous night tsipouro drinking session didn’t help at all. That was for sure. Eyes closed and all of a sudden phone rings and the voice of Saint John: Hey fucker. Get up! Subway down through the stations and then hitting surface with the fucking hot sun burning my bald scull. The only thing that could work in favor, would be the sight of Sankt Pauli crushing Dresden scum. All hopes where with that. Once again Soridon was packed with SouthEndScum and the positive energy was swarming through us all. Sankt Pauli showed a really decisive face in the first round of DFB Pokal punishing the fuckers from Lübeck and we all thought that this was a nice point to turn the page in the season. Nooot!!!

Having already put through the shitty Lübeck business and having already escaped the tricky first round which tends to be the modern curse of FCSP, the perspective through which we’re facing this season’s has changed. Fiasco avoided, winning the Pokal is not the primary target anyway (🙂 ), everything from now on is nice to have, so, more or less, it’s back to the enjoyment of football🙂 From this point of view, the visit of Hertha BSC towards the end of October to Millerntor is considered a first class opportunity😉

DFB Pokal, Round 1: VfB Lübeck – FC Sankt Pauli 0-3

About time…

A Friday night unlike the others. Ooh yes. Soridon was packed with Scum (sounds bad but in our case couldn’t be more awesome), and our friends from the Athens Club, all waiting to see our beloved Sankt Pauli crush those bastards from VfB Lübeck. (The shit those fuckers pulled at Schweinske cup back on 2012 will not be forgotten.)

Matchday 02: FC Sankt Pauli – Eintracht Braunschweig 0-2…

Speechless…

Having got lazy with the blog for a while and with AndyChristos (all the others are lazy bastards but this is not new😀 ) handling the opening section of the season, this looked like an excellent opportunity to get back in action, so a few minutes before kickoff, I said to him “Hey man, leave the match report to me, will be fun doing one, been a while”. Really??? Here’s your report Greg, you idiot, now start writing ^^

Matchday 01: VfB Stuttgart – FC Sankt Pauli 2-1

Strong Body – Bitter Aftertaste

First game of the season. Yep. Expectations were high enough even from day 1. Team had shown a really good face in the friendlies and we saw many players adapt to the team and perform well. VfB was a direct jump in the deep. Nothing can scare us of course cos we’re lions aren’t we? Stuttgart hey? Fuck , yeah. Bring it! A good gathering for this first matchday to our joint and all we had to do was wait for the first whistle of the game…
