Heja BVB
The Champions League “League Phase” has almost come to an end, and there is everything to win, when Borussia Dortmund host Inter Milan for a clash of titans at The Westfalenstadion. This is a very tough opponent to face in what could very well be a direct ticket to the top eight that will secure […]
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. Union Berlin were competitive but they never really gave BVB too much to […]

I don’t think we see enough heated rivalries in the Bundesliga, but the return of the Hamburg derby this season has been one everyone is looking forward to. We get the return leg of the derby between St. Pauli and Hamburg this evening. St. Pauli claimed all three points in a 2-0 win last time […]
I’m back! Thank you to everyone for dealing with my surgery-induced absence. Let’s get on with it. Borussia Dortmund News Other News
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 […]
What happens when a movable object meets a stoppable force? Well, Borussia Dortmund collapse in the first half and Tottenham Hotspur come away with a 2-0 victory and a big confidence boost. Anyone who has tuned in to watch Thomas Frank’s Spurs this season will have gone into tonight’s Champions League tie feeling pretty optimistic, […]
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. It’s going to be 90 minutes of some of the most unwatchable football you’ve ever witnessed, but it […]
We are into the final stretch of matches in the Champions League league stage, and Borussia Dortmund are right in the running for a spot in the coveted top eight clubs that earn automatic spots in the Round of 16. The team in 11th is tied with them on points, and it just so happens […]
Happy Monday, Fear the Wall! I hope you had a nice weekend. If you live in the United States, there’s a good chance you had a cold weekend; there have been cold fronts sweeping across the country. I am ready for spring. Dortmund will be spring-ing back into action on Tuesday against Tottenham (sorry that […]
12 points. That is how many Dortmund have given up from winning positions this year. Watching the team secure a lead early feels more like a harbinger of doom rather than a solid start—it is almost guaranteed they will find a way to turn a cake walk into a tight knit affair. This time though, […]

Bundesliga games just keep coming. There has only been one day without a Bundesliga game over the last week, and the last round of fixtures only finished last night. But we go again! It even looks like the entire schedule will go ahead without snow storms rudely interrupting the weekend plans. The combination of a […]
We’ve officially reached the midway point of the season, and for once, the black-and-yellows will not need to iron out a disastrous Hinrunde. As a matter of fact, Niko Kovac has led the team to its best “first half” finish in years, keeping nine clean sheets and losing only once. And yet, the euphoria amongst […]
After a thrilling 3-3 draw in Frankfurt, Borussia Dortmund returned home with one goal in mind; three points against Werder Bremen. Lo and behold, they did it! It was not exactly the clinical or professional display you would like to see against a struggling Werder Bremen side but it is difficult to complain over a […]
We are about halfway through a midweek slate of fixtures, but I figured I’d chuck a thread up for anyone wanting to discuss any of the games. Only one of the games has been postponed due to bad weather so far! Here is the midweek Bundesliga schedule: Tuesday: Wednesday: Thursday: The same rules apply as […]
In the Bundesliga, there are no breaks, and before we could even digest Friday’s 3-3 draw against Frankfurt, BVB were once again on the field, this time on home soil against Horst Steffen’s Werder Bremen side. Die Werderaner came into this game in poor form, having not scored the last two games. Dortmund had something […]

With the Bundesliga back underway, the schedule gets pretty congested for Borussia Dortmund over the next couple weeks, starting with a short turnaround against Werder Bremen tonight. There are only a few days between games for the rest of January, but the upside is there is no time to dwell on dropped points. BVB will […]
Borussia Dortmund are back at home for the first time in 2026 as Werder Bremen come to town. 2025 saw Dortmund struggle to start the year and ultimately sack Nuri Sahin. For Kovac , Dortmund’s first two home games of 2026 against Bremen and St. Pauli represent an opportunity to set the tone for this […]
Good morning, Fear the Wall! It is now the second week back to work. The fun is over, the holidays are a distant memory, and Bundesliga ball is back. Time to hunker down for four months of Black and Yellow, and hopefully no more than two months of winter. One thing we aren’t likely to […]
