uh? here I am again?

I feel as if I start every blog entry here with "don't worry, I'm still alive!" It's just been that kind of year - busy, hectic, you pick your favorite adjective.

A couple of thoughts:

→ The first leg against Marseille: it wasn't pretty. We won but it was hardly with the same ease that we had against Basel. That's okay - Marseille played defensively at home and we didn't let them get many solid chances. If this is how we have to learn how to win away, I'm at peace with it.

→ As the overly dramatic English comms like to put it, we are breathing down Dortmund's neck in terms of the league table. Today, they face Stuttgart, our Southern brother's from another mother. Will Stuttgart do us a solid? I'm trying not to think about it too much - we'll see how that plays out.

→ Derby Time! Tomorrow, we take on Nürnberg. You could listen to me (or, you know, read) natter on about it or you could check out the excellent match preview by our friends over at Red Robbery: Right here.

Have a great weekend. Eat some chimichangas. Take it easy, kiddos.
