Sorry I haven’t posted the past couple of days; was in the mountains camping/hiking and away from technology altogether. I did of course catch the match on Saturday and was very pleased with the results. No need to rehash; thanks to everyone who posted comments, covered most of the important points. Another [...]
Match preview: Eintracht Frankfurt v Vfb Stuttgart

Stuttgart travel to Frankfurt tomorrow to take on in-form Eintracht Frankfurt. Unbeaten thus far in the season, Eintracht sit in 6th place with 2 wins and a boatload of draws.
We all know the deal; Stuttgart is struggling mightily and could really REALLY use all 3 points. After a frighteningly difficult DFB win in [...]
Pokal preview: VfB Lübeck v VfB Stuttgart

Another day, another competition. Stuttgart take on 4th division side VfB Lübeck today away from home. I don’t really expect much of a challenge here, and apparently neither does Lübeck’s trainer:
“Generally speaking, we’re not expecting to have much of a chance. The odds of us winning this one are at about 1%! Only [...]
Is it too early to panic?

Yes, it’s only September. Yes, there’s only been one match played in the CL group stages. But one cannot have a warm fuzzy feeling about the team after the start of this season on all fronts. Stuttgart have picked up only 5 points out of the first 6 matches in the Bundesliga. [...]

Die Schwaben are set to face off against FC Köln this coming Saturday after a disappointing draw this past Wednesday. I sincerely hope they can rally around this draw and take out their frustration on this floundering, underachieving outfit. Stuttgart are in dire need of a win, especially at home, having secured a [...]
A Tale of 2 Halves: Stuttgart 1 Rangers 1
By: Pete | 1 Comment
I don’t think anybody that watched this match can be anything but disappointed at the results. Stuttgart came out strong and determined and their resolve was eventually rewarded with a quick counter attack goal courtesy of Pogrebnyak. I thought Hleb and Pogrebnyak worked well together all night (at least until Hleb was replaced.) [...]

Time to shrug off the disappointing weekend and focus on the big time. After a favorable draw this is where it all begins. It’s a very realistic possibility that Stuttgart can move into the knockout stages this time around after a disappointing campaign a few years back. First up are the boys [...]
Hamburg 3 Stuttgart 1
By: Pete | No Comments
Hamburg didn’t skip a beat after losing Guerrero for the better part of the year. Hamburg were able to win their 4th in a row and keep down Stuttgart, whose form early on has been less than stellar. Stuttgart have now managed just 5 points from 5 matches, including 2 losses to teams [...]

International break is finally at an end and what a weekend to start the campaign back up. VfB travel to Hamburg to duke it out with top of the table Hamburg who’ve secured 10 of a possible 12 points, including winning their last 3 matches.
I suppose there is some silver lining to warming the [...]
