Manchester United

[AtW]

ManU have got nothing on compared to Hamburg (HSV, not St. Pauli). This is the only top flight German team who haven't been relegated to the 2nd division in the history of the Bundesliga yet since the winter break they've lost 3 games, all 3:0 and 2 of those at home. They've already sacked 1 manager this season and the fans aren't very happy, currently second bottom with 16 points.

Would they still beat ManU though?

From what I've seen of them this season, no!

To be fair I have money on Liverpool to win the league this year. I think they have the easiest run in with Chelsea and City to come at Anfield. An outside bet for sure but at 14-1 I think it's worth a punt.

Ok, let's call it a draw then...

So basically everyone is saying that ManU are:

Where does the Celtic & St. Pauli connection come from? A friend took me to a Celtic & Rangers game a few years back, we went into a pub on London road and it was full of Germans, many with half-Celtic half-St. Pauli shirts on!

St Pauli have a large left wing thing going in with the support which certain parts of Celtic support get excited about.

I just go for the pies and beer.

I believe it stems back to when Celtic played Hamburg in Europe back around 1996. The St Pauli fans made the travelling Celtic fans very welcome and alerted them to the dangers of the violent elements of the Hamburg SV support.
St Pauli were also struggling financially at the time, and that was only a couple of years after Celtic came way too close to financial ruin, so there was quite a bit of sympathy on that score too.
