I Go Away for Seven Weeks, and This is How You Leave My Club?
03:29 AM, Sunday, 17 February 2008
Oh. My. Goodness. What else is there to say? Well, there is a lot to say, to be honest. When die Blauen Blog went into its own Winter Break I was chewing on the idea of the hiring of Michael Frontzeck as manager, as the last time we saw him in the...

The Virtual Season, Part IV: The most difficult way to the top...
02:50 AM, Thursday, 27 December 2007
Happy Boxing Day folks! The holidays means days where I have nothing to do but play FIFA 08, so the Virtual Season got some work put into it. Now, in our last episode, Arminia had just lost a home match against Werder Bremen which denied them the top spot in the Bundesliga, going...

The Virtual Season, Part III: Marching Along Together
08:27 PM, Sunday, 23 December 2007
In the last edition of the Virtual Season, the 3-5-2 formation instituted by the manager worked as he hoped, as Arminia went 2-1-0 with a +7 goal differential, allowing them to shoot up the table to fifth, only 2 points behind leaders and local rivals Borussia Dortmund. We pick... Posted by fredtjane · Comments (0) Topics: Bundesliga,Bielefeld,Arminia Bielefeld,fifa 08,The Virtual Season,Winter Break Filler
Arminia lays waste to Chinese opposition... Well, sort of
02:23 AM, Friday, 21 December 2007
Well that was quick. The tour of China by Arminia Bielefeld proved to be quite nice to die Blauen, resulting in a win and a draw over Wuhan FC and FC Shenhua Shanghai respectively. Up first was Wuhan FC, who finished 7th in this season's edition of the Chinese Super League. Wuhan (also know...

Arminia Bielefeld 2-0 VfB Stuttgart
01:46 AM, Tuesday, 18 December 2007
I had this post ready to go on Saturday, but unfortunately family events got in the way of me posting it (Look Mom, die Blauen Blog > Christmas par.. *thwack* Ow! OK, OK, you're right... *sigh*) Well, the Winter Break is upon us, and thankfully Bielefeld gave supporters a reason to...

The Virtual Season, Part II: The Search for a Defence
03:14 AM, Friday, 14 December 2007
The Virtual Season is off and running, and the last time we checked in on our pixellated heroes, they were 1-1-1 after three matches, coming off of a 5-3 thumping at the hands of Karlsruher SC. It was time for a serious change after the back line was savaged by an admittedly-mediocre...

And now for something completely Different
01:36 AM, Wednesday, 12 December 2007
I've tried more than once to sneak a preview of this, but with the Winter Break less than a week away, it's a great time to unveil the centrepiece of our Winter break discussions (That is, other than transfers and the search for a new manager). Yes, I'm trying my hand at running the club... Posted by fredtjane · Comments (0) Topics: Bielefeld,Miscellaneous,Arminia Bielefeld,fifa 08,The Virtual Season,Winter Break Filler
Ernst Middendorp Sacked as Arminia Manager
01:54 AM, Tuesday, 11 December 2007
After Friday's debacle, I waited to post about the match as I knew something had to give after Dortmund took Arminia to the woodshed. An exhilarating start to the season has turned into a complete nightmare, and I knew heads were going to roll. In class this morning the seniors were rather...

Normal Service has been Resumed
01:14 AM, Wednesday, 05 December 2007
Technology is a grand thing... Almost 2 weeks, hands cut from handling delicate electronic parts with sharp edges in confined spaces, and some elbow grease later, I'm finally connected to the world again. It was rather boring, if I must admit. You can only drag out grading tests and...

The Requisite (Attempted to post on) Thanksgiving Post
11:52 PM, Thursday, 22 November 2007
I had this post ready to go on Thanksgiving, but apparently on Turkey Day, I had the Kiss of Death for Computers, as I killed all three of my computers in a 24 hour span. I won't be back online until at least Wednesday, so you won't hear from me then. As I type this, Arminia is down 0-3 to...
