What started out as a week from hell turned into something quite unexpected and delightful. In part one, Julia, Jason, Frankie, and Eric dissect the RWE Pokal match with such surgical precision, you might miss it if you blink. In part two, we talk to VfB Stuttgart fan and footballer, Marc Maegerle (follow him on FB), about Bayer Leverkusen’s convincing victory over VfB – football like back in 2020! Enjoy the pod and have a happy start to your week.

The theme. of episode 157 is clearly, stay positive! Frankie, Frieda, Eric, and Jason welcome Borussia Dortmund fan James Vickers to the pod to discuss the match from mid-week – a bright spot in what’s been a somewhat dismal 2021 thus far. The crew then have to turn their attention to the most recent match against VfL Wolfsburg, but they’re determined to put it behind them for the match of the week this Saturday. Hopefully, Bayer are, too.

Where to start? Is it the losing streak? Is it the predictability of our last four Bundesliga losses? Is it the concern that it only gets harder from here on out? Add to that a match against Union Berlin that ended in controversy, and you have a rather long podcast from the crew. Julia, Jason, Eric, and Frankie welcome Kyle from the Union in Englisch lads to discuss the gut punch that was Friday and the fallout from the allegations of racism at the end of the match. We turn to some happier news in part two and look back at the Pokal match against Frankfurt and Bayer’s newest addition, Timothy Fosu-Mensah. Strap in.

Hi, what’d we miss? Everybody good? No? Well, this might not make you feel any better, but the Neverkusen Podcast returns with two new contributors from England, Jason and Frankie. We were able to record this podcast just before the Brexit transition period ended, so you can only enjoy their voices until December 31. Patrick and Eric join the lads to take a look back at a helluva (almost) half season that sees Bayer in an accustomed position in the table – it’s almost like they knew we would be podding. We dive into the matches and players that have made the first half of the season such a success and pour a little salt in effzeh’s wounds…because why not? Thanks for listening!
