Some new season, same old league
The things we do for love…like spending half an hour to get to the stadium to attend the press presentation of the new 1. FC Magdeburg senior squad – despite temperatures way beyond anything that can be called comfortable. But after last years fiasco, the club took the path of complete reconstruction, letting go 14 [...]

And we’re off again…
Season preparation has restarted on Friday.

As both [...]

Methadone
Well, last Saturday I finally was able to catch some live outdoor football. In the first game since that disappointing outing versus Werder Bremen’s reserves in December, Magdeburg only managed a draw.
