Post Match Reactions: A Cup of Tepid, Stale Coffee

Cold. Bland. Uninspiring. You may struggle to get it down, but that old morning brew still does the job at 3pm. Dortmund did just that on this Friday away game at Augsburg, securing the three points as planned. And Guirassy, who had been on a six game scoreless run, got the goal. Beyond that, the […]

Match Preview: Dortmund Take on Miserable Augsburg

Borussia Dortmund’s four match away streak continues tomorrow with a Bundesliga match against FC Augsburg.

The Daily Bee: Fabio Silva Turned Down Lucrative Offer to Join BVB

The second round of the DFB-Pokal was concluded last night. There were few major upsets, with Holstein Kiel’s 1-0 victory over Wolfsburg perhaps the most notable. However, the biggest story from the midweek fixtures took place in a tie between two 2. Bundesliga teams. Sixth-placed Darmstadt gave top-of-the-table Schalke an absolute shellacking on their way […]

MOTM Poll: Dortmund Sneak Through on Penalties Against Frankfurt

Borussia Dortmund were incredibly unlucky to draw against Frankfurt in the second round of the DFB-Pokal, and the game proved to be just as tight as expected. It was the old boys coming back to haunt BVB in the first half, as Ansgar Knauff opened the scoring early off a Mario Götze assist. Julian Brandt […]

The Daily Bee: Borussia Dortmund Look to South American for Talent

We are still two months away from the Winter Transfer Window but that does not mean it is too early for a transfer rumor or two.

Match Preview: Dortmund Confront a Shaky Frankfurt in the DFB Pokal

In the words of Tommy Shelby from Peaky Blinders, “there is no rest for me in this world”, and neither is there any for Borussia Dortmund at the moment. After the stoppage-time thriller from Saturday against Cologne, die Schwarzgelben have been handed another difficult task on the road. The second round of the DFB Pokal […]

Post Match Reactions: Maxi Beier to the Rescue Against The Billy Goats

Although Borussia Dortmund have been playing well so far this season, beating this season iteration of 1. FC Köln was never going to an easy task. Lukas Kwasniok’s side have been very impressive this season, and The Billy Goats have been especially impressive in defense, only allowing 10 goals before tonight’s match in The Westfalenstadion.

The Daily Bee: Serhou Guirassy Could Miss Time Due to Ongoing Thigh Injury

Good evening, folks. Today’s Daily Bee is a little late because I spent all day preparing to teach an Introduction to Linear Regression session. The session went great. I got to spend an hour lecturing the audience about the many virtues of the linear model and indoctrinating them in the gospels of the Church of […]
