Call to Werder fans: Please do not kick Armina Bielefeld with your feet.

Although he himself cannot do anything, SV Werder Bremen has been a stupid German association for years. The impetus came from Clara, a colleague. Bielefeld, once referred to as the “mother of all unstadt, has the” Father of all the unexploded “with Arminia Bielefeld. In April 2007, the Clara joked so unforgivably funny to “ZEIT ONLINE”, and completed her nonsense with this intermediate question: “What did Arminia have for success?” That was of course meant rhetorically.
“None,” the author pushed in anyway, and then really heated up the East Westphalia: “Her best Bundesliga blanket was a ridiculous 8th place. And the only title you can hold is that of the ›record promotion,« she knew reasonably correctly all the basic knowledge about the unofficial record promoter before she wished him: »The final descent. The DFB should best give you a one-way ticket to the 2nd Bundesliga. Never in the fight for a UEFA place, never hits the master shell in his hands. An unnecessary association that deserves to finally disappear from the big stadiums. “
However, nothing came of it. Arminia Bielefeld – at the time – had nothing to do with the disappearance from the big stadiums. The DSC secured relegation, as always always at risk of relegation. And once more the, admittedly, rather desired option that Bielefeld could perhaps make it in the coming season: a UEFA-Cup place or “to the master bowl,” as Clara put it. Nobody suspected that it was almost 18 years later to the DFB Cup and that one would get the stupid Bremer on the way there.
The worst clubs
FIFA is currently hosting the club World Cup in the USA. It is the next level of money bags in professional football. And a good occasion to think about the most overestimated football clubs in Loser episode.
Incidentally, Arminia’s remaining achieved a surprising 3-2 win over the Bremen, which was still traded as a hot title aspirant, shortly before the end of the season. This is remarkable in that one of the most popular German football clubs could be screwed up by one of the most unpopular most. At least that was a survey result: most likeable Bundesliga Association of the 2006/2007 season was Werder Bremen, the most unappealing Arminia Bielefeld. You can see how much cut it took at the time for a Bielefeld insult. But also: how much my decision to find Werder Bremen stupid was a whipped and rather irrational whistle. But what does it help?
Because of course it cannot be a sniff as an eternal Arminia fan if my club in a sympathy table not only ends up behind Bremen, but also behind all other unappeals such as Bavaria, HSV, Cottbus and even Wolfsburg. On top of that, if he was denied the right to exist (and with it) and the criterion for the hoped -for relegation embroidery, of all things, the successes that this association has not yet bought, then it needed a valve. At that moment this could only be the deepest insult. And it has remained to this day. Sorry, Wörda-also for the fact that the next DFB Cup ends for you in the first round on the Bielefeld Alm.
Apart from that, it should not go unmentioned that in Claras Arminia-Bashing exactly that attitude broke out, as it is still shown by such powdered middle class daughters to this day, which one is called Hartzer or Citizens’ Departments. Economically unsuccessful you too and thus also superfluous, please quickly get out of view of the successful disappearance? Claras Arminia stuff sounded the same way.
