Six points. The gap between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund is now six points, with fourteen games remaining in the season. In a vacuum, if the names of the clubs were hidden and only the point totals were compared, would you call it a title race? A lot can happen over fourteen games. Dortmund might […]

Good morning, Fear the Wall. Dortmund made it hard on themselves yesterday with their 3-2 win over Heidenheim. An injury to Filippo Mane got the ball rolling on what was a genuine fight from Heidenheim, and if you ask me, Heidenheim probably deserved more from that game. Better finishing would see them win handily at […]

In a vacuum, I recognize that needing to come back from a 2-1 deficit with the help of two penalties, one of which your player misses, and a few other lucky bounces, all against the worst team in the league, is not ideal. If Borussia Dortmund are indeed able to run down Bayern Munich in […]

After another worrying Champions League goose egg, Dortmund return to their bread-and-butter in the Bundesliga. There, the black-and-yellows remain undefeated since their one loss in Munich back in mid October. Furthermore, their record against this weekend’s opponent is a pretty one: four wins, two draws, no losses. Making Heidenheim the only current Bundesliga side Dortmund […]

Borussia Dortmund missed out on automatic qualification for the Champions League knockout stages tonight, having lost 2-0 to Inter Milan. But I’m not sure you could convince me they were really trying to win. I watched too many players refusing to push up the field on breaks to believe this was their best efforts. I […]

The January transfer window has been pretty frustrating for BVB fans so far. There has been a lack of activity from the club, and now they have lost a promising squad member, with Aaron Anselmino returning to South London. But the good news is that there is plenty of midweek football to distract us from […]

Good morning, Fear the Wall. The great American winter storm has passed and for the first time ever, my job actually told me to work from home. Neat. Dortmund snagged a win in the prime time slot this past Saturday, convincingly overcoming Union Berlin for a third successive league victory, and a bounce back from […]

Well, this kind of sucks. It was reported in December that Chelsea had included an option in Aaron Anselmino’s loan to recall him in January if they so desired, and today, five days before the transfer deadline, they have opted to do so. This is a pretty significant blow to BVB, who have had success […]

For what feels like the first time this season, Borussia Dortmund has gained ground on Bayern Munich. In Bavaria, the perennial titleholders dropped three points to Augsburg. In Berlin, Borussia Dortmund visited a stout Union Berlin side and walked away with all three points. Kovac’s men entered this match desperately needing an injection of morale […]

Borussia Dortmund returned to winning ways this afternoon after their disappointing midweek loss to Spurs in the Champions League. Dortmund romped to a comfortable 3-0 win against Union Berlin, to close the gap between them and Bayern Munich to “just” eight points.

Dortmund took a large (and loud) away contingent to London for this midweek tie that would see the winner jump to the automatic qualification spots. Thomas Frank’s Spurs came into it on the back of five winless games, with stale displays seeing ever-increasing numbers of fans voice their discontent with his management. By contrast, we […]

If you’ve watched any Tottenham games this season you’ll be feeling optimistic about Borussia Dortmund’s chances tonight. They have been abject, and it’s important BVB make the most of Thomas Frank’s struggles to claim all three points.
