Welcome To Hell: FC St. Pauli Podcast Luke, Trev & Gunnar

Luke chats with Dave from Manchester St. Pauli and Gary, formerly of Glasgow St. Pauli about what led to a number of international fan groups disbanding. 

Its been a while since we've done this! 5 wins and 2 loses in the last 7 games since we did a podcast. Gunnar & Luke discuss our recent form, promotion/title hopes and the next match after the international break which is at home to Paderborn.

Two games in 4 games against Düsseldorf with contrasting emotions. Away in Düsseldorf the boys in brown put in fantastic performance, particularly in defence as well as Marcel Hartel continuing his fine form. The midfielder's two goals were enough for a 2-1 win which extends our lead at the top of the 2. Bundesliga to 4 points. On Tuesday FCSP welcomed Düsseldorf to the Millerntor for quarter final clash in the DFB-Pokal. After goalkeeping errors, penalties and a last gasp equaliser, the match went to penalties with Düsseldorf ultimately coming out on top. A tough pill to swallow but we move on to a home match against second placed Greuther Fürth on Saturday.

2. Bundesliga football is back and so are we! 

A win over Kaiserslautern at the Millerntor and a loss for Kiel at home Braunschweig means we regain our rightful spot atop the league. In an exciting game, St. Pauli created lots of chances and could / should have converted a few more but they kept a clean sheet despite a couple of really good chances for Kaiserslautern from set pieces. 

Luke & Gunnar discuss somewhat of a mixed bag. St. Pauli are through to the quarter finals of the Pokal thanks to a 4-1 win in Homburg but they struggled away to lowly Osnabrück dropping points to the team that sit bottom of 2. Bundesliga. While the boys in brown did enough to win it, they couldn't take their chances and it finished 1-1. With all that said, we're still top, still unbeaten and through to the next round of the cup. Wiesbaden await in the final match before the winter break.

Snow, flairs, disallowed goals, tifos, a comical own goal & more. Luke & Gunnar discuss a game that had everything but a winner. St. Pauli dominated and should have buried HSV in the first half but a couple of lapses in defence and some individual class by that team from the suburbs means it finished 2-2. 

Still top. Still unbeaten. Immer weiter vor!
