vollraute abroad - all gladbach news in one podcast

Sorry we’re late, the internet connection kept breaking down. Your hosts Manuel and Alexis, of course, never break down. Instead, we break down pre-season developments and bring you up to date on the transformation of the squad who are going to represent probably the greatest club in the world this season. With the departure of big names Stindl, Bensebaini, Thuram, Elvedi, and … Whatsisname (the one who does ads for beauty products and now plays for a multi-national pharmaceutical and chemicals company) and the arrival of players known only to insiders such as us, namely Honorat, Cvancara, Hack, and Ranos, one...

Just wait till next year! Sorry we're late, we couldn't find the "REC" button. So we were forced to cram the second two-thirds of the season into one programme. We start off relatively subdued and sober but we gradually pick up speed and take you on a gripping rollercoaster (ghost) ride through season 2022/23: re-live with us the mounting horror as it dawns on us that our coach is actually an imposter (possibly an alien shape-shifter?) who has never trained a football team before, the nightmarish paralysis inflicted on us by zombie-esque performances of our talented but uninterested players, the anguish...

Right! Sorry to have kept you waiting, but the dog ate our recording. You will have been waiting with baited breath, surely, to see whether we are still as content as we were in episode 90 with the direction the undoubtedly greatest team, club and coach in the world are going. Or are they going in a direction at all? Listen to this episode to find out if we know the answer. In episode 91 we present a recap of 9 matches in one slim, trim podcast. The dedicated listeners to Vollraute Abroad will know that we love categorising our team's performances...

„So good to be back home again" - Al Green had it spot on in arguably the most tender and loving hommage ever to very probably the greatest club in the world. (Check out the lyrics - you'll see.) You know when there's been a heatwave and you're so grateful for the first somewhat cooler day for what seems like an age? That's what it's like to be a Borussia Mönchengladbach aficionado at the moment. After two to three years too close to the heat, everyone seems relieved to be back where we belong, with a modest and sensible coa...

Sorry, folks! It's been a while, but Renaissance Man Manuel was working very hard pursuing his many careers and Alexis was away meditating on the remaining terrace of the Bökelberg stadium. Pleasantly surprised to discover Borussia Mönchengladbach (probably the best club in the world) hadn't been relegated to the second division after all, and discarding Alexis' plan to meticulously describe and then categorise every single one of the remaining eight matches in a four-hour special, we decided to attempt a synopsis of last season by describing key moments of the campaign that we think will linger on, changes in...

Please, can we stop the season right now? Well, we predicted a "difficult" season in vollraute abroad #081, but this is ridiculous! "Everything falls apart" could be an alternative title to Vollraute abroad #087 (and "From the gut" the soundtrack) as could "50 ways to torture a football fan", or "Explain the inexplicable". We sincerely hope that you, the dedicated listeners, appreciate the superhuman mental strength it took to recapitulate every single match since our win in Munich against Bayern (just thought I'd mention that), each one in its own way an evil, sadistic exercise in crushing all hope and optimism you might...

Can we play you every week?   Happy New Year everyone! Just when we thought we'd have to go into relegation battle mode, grateful for every measly, undeserved point we are gifted, along come Bayern Munich and make us feel good about ourselves again. Thank you, folks, always a pleasure, and we're only too happy to discuss the match in great detail.    Other topics this time: a cursory summary of the three last games of the annus horribilis 2021, developments on the transfer market, financial problems our club could be facing and possibly unpleasant solutions to these, as well as a possible new...
