UEFA-Cup
Still alive
By: Pete |Phew. CL Match day 4 came and went and Stuttgart have lived to talk about it. We saw a bit of everything in this game, much to discuss. I’m gonna take this one in bullet form as I wrote things down during the game.
-I’ve never seen a team collectively look so overwhelmed [...]
CL preview: FC Sevilla v VfB Stuttgart
By: Pete |Sevilla has an opportunity to officially wrap up 1st place in the group with a win home against Stuttgart, and they have to feel mighty good about their prospects having never lost a CL match at home. Die Schwaben will be looking to at least steal a point here if not all three. [...]
Tough loss, encouraging signs
By: Pete |Well, that kinda sucked. Can’t help but feel a bit empty after coming out with such a spirited effort and coming away with nothing. Make no mistake about it, Stuttgart were the better team on the pitch last night. They completely dominated possession and dictated the pace of the game, especially throughout [...]
CL Rant box: VfB Stuttgart v FC Sevilla
By: Pete |To quote the late, great Oscar Wilde, “What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise.” And such is the optimistic outlook we will try and employ here. Things may seem grey at first sight; Sevilla has been one of the best teams (at least post WC qualifiers) over the [...]
Unirea Urziceni 1 VfB Stuttgart 1: Another disappointing result
By: Pete |Apologies not writing sooner; site upgrade difficulties. And trying to calm down from another lackluster performance. Deep breaths. Another CL opportunity squandered. Stuttgart could easily have come out of these first 2 matches with 6 points but instead sit in 2nd place with a measly 2 points and they now have [...]
CL Rant Box: Unirea Urziceni v VfB Stuttgart
By: Pete |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 [...]
CL Match preview: Stuttgart v Rangers
By: Pete |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 [...]

Champions League drawing results are in
By: Pete |Let me start out by saying I’ve just joined theoffside team and this is my first post on here (as you can probably tell since the last post was in May.) Bear with me if I stumble out of the gate but I aim to update posts early and often. So let’s get [...]
Two for one
By: Anna |At first, I didn’t want to say anything at all about the UEFA-Cup qualifier against Györ, because it wasn’t enough of a football match to be commented on as such, despite the 2:1 win. But now I found an opportunity to talk about both that match and the first Bundesliga game in Mönchengladbach, by [...]
