Big trouble big you really are passionate about because youre going to stick to this for a long time on and its something you dont we like them its hard to keep on pressing our ten part series founders sally starting october twenty third on d w. Hello and welcome to the book in this league here on detail but you much day nine is done and dusted and theres plenty to talk about joining me in the studio my two sunday guests former but in this league of player b. Shield and say hello to our very own of mike meadows lets take a look at whats coming up in the show. To woefully underperforming teams colona and brennan go head to head with one shared goal to pick up their first win of the season. High flying hoffenheim traveled to vote for it with the championship aspirations on their mind. Hi im phony and yes ill be coming to my guests in a minute but first its been an absolutely pathetic start to the season for cologne heading into match day nine side had lost seven bundesliga games and drawn just one and leaving them anchored at the bottom of the table their fifth place finish last season is almost hard to believe their funds are growing angry the republicans this weekend veteran braman another club that dont have much to sing about they havent won a match in the ball in this league since april desperation was in the air for this early relegation battle.

Eighteen and seventeen is playing against. Its bad its bad since weeks and everybody they start coming out better better better but theres nothing i can see any any better performance since day one and thats very very tough to see for everybody especially the supporters friends and. And as well george these guys. Before i turn to our very own mark meadows mark i want to take a look at a tweet which is quite telling its from colognes official. Twitter account and they say it was an encouraging display now i would call that often is.
