My lord, it is always intense to see that Hamburg somehow manages to mess things up. I guess this will always be the same for the next two decades to come for them!
I am not sure that this is even funny anymore, but the will once more manage to finish a season as 4th. My god... What the heck is wrong with them. Huge city, tons of money and yet they can't manage to get promoted again. Looking forward to a whole decade of 2. Bundesliga HSV.
i think that the sporting director jonas boldt will have to leave hamburger sv at the end of the season. i can't see this arrogant guy anymore. even if there are still 12 points !
the hsv will finish this season in fifth place. i can't imagine that the hsv will get 9 or 12 more points.
but if 1.fc köln gets relegated, it will be a top 2.bundesliga again next season with many great stadiums.
but i am happy that two north german clubs are promoted to the 1st bundesliga. and..... the first club from schleswig holstein in the 1st bundesliga > > holstein kiel
Kiel deserves to go up as they developed into the most consistent team at the right time. Pauli has shown some weakness, but will probably get away with it and Hamburg, well I think there is not much left to say about them. It's incredible... But they still have the game against Pauli at home, which might be a derby where there is still something on the line for them. But the only chance I see for them to still be promoted is to win the remaining 4 games. First stop will be at Braunschweig and if they don't win that one, I think it is over for them. Düsseldorf has two relatively easy games at home, which I think they both will probably win and that makes it still a 5 points difference, which means Hamburg has to win it all.
But as you said, there are now other clubs from Northern Germany that are good to go. Pauli in the 1. Bundesliga is always fun.
