Verdammt beschissene Scheisse deise Mannschaft!!!
Back in 2004/5, my German team, SG Wattenscheid 09, were relegated from the Regionella Liga Nord (equivalent of our league 1) after losing a last day decider to Preussen Munster, who climbed above us pushing us into the 4th relegation spot.
Last season we bounced straight back and going into the last day, yesterday, were placed 5th from bottom.
Unfortunately we lost 3-1 at Kickers Emden, while the team below us won to send us back into the Oberliga Rhein-Westfalen.
The twats who climbed above us? Why none other than bloody Preussen Munster again! Sheisskopfen!

Did you pick Preussen Munster at random or is there a reason for this allegiance?

It's a good book too if you ignore the fact my copy was translated by an American. I think i had added effect by reading in while holed up in a hotel room during a cyclone  Anyway. Football wise, does this make Preussen Munster the ultimate bogey team? |

With Aston Villa being my second team I'd like to nominate the exploits of Castel di Sangro (population 5000), my third team, who after ten years in the depths of regional amateur football rose to Serie B in 1996 and finished sixteenth out of twenty in the 96/97 season. However, at the end of the season, the owner sold off all but six of the squad of twenty that had won promotion to Serie B and in 97/98 they finished bottom and were relegated to Serie C1 winning only five matches all season. They languish in the lower leagues of italian football to this day. Three players progressed to Serie A: Fusco to Torino and then Empoli, Bonomi to Empoli where he became the first ever ex-Castel di Sangro player to score in Serie A and Spinesi to Bari. At the beginning of the 98/99 season there was only one player left from the team that won promotion to Serie B just over two years earlier.

I thought it was a brilliant book with such a sad, sad ending. I won't spoil it for anyone who wants to read it, it's called The Miracle of Castel di Sangro by Joe McGinniss who is actually an oddity himself, being an american who loves football.

The other day, Danny of photographing gormless idiots with international trophy fame saw that Castel Di Sangro book on my shelf and said that i was the only person other than him he'd known to have read that book. A shame considering how good a read it is.

My allegiance to SG Wattenscheid 09, [and to several other overseas teams including Cobreloa (Chile) and Consodole Sapporo (Japan)] was born out of seeing them featured on Trans World Sport many years ago.
They were featured getting hammered 6-0 at home by Bayern Munich, a team i have had pathological dislike for since 1974 and the sight of someone else wearing black and white getting thumped as my own team, Stafford Rangers, were also struggling, struck a sympathetic chord.
When later on that season, the SGW 09 turned it around, beating the hated Bayern 2-1 in Munich and scuppering FC Hollywood's title hopes and completing a houdini-style relegation escape at the same time SRFC did, i decided, that was it this was MY German team!
In a twist to the original post it has just been announced that SGW 09 manager Georg Kress has left us by mutual consent and next season will be manager of............. Preussen Munster!!!
