Match

Every point is an argument now for St. Pauli

Position 16 and 32 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Squad

Joel Chima Fujita in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at St. Pauli this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Still nobody in the St. Pauli dugout

8 days with the chair empty, a list of names that grows and shrinks by the day, and not one signature on anything. Every week that passes takes the best candidates off it.

Squad

No hiding place for Rubén Sobrino

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Rubén Sobrino, and the manager let it.

Squad

David Nemeth knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at St. Pauli, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

A wage question at St. Pauli

Marvin Schwäbe has done the arithmetic and does not like the answer. Nothing corrodes a squad faster, and no club has ever solved it by explaining the wage structure to a footballer.

Squad

Taichi Hara keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” St. Pauli may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market

Business is business: Mathias Rasmussen goes

Köln paid $5.6M and St. Pauli took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Market

St. Pauli say no — this time

The offer from Köln for Fin Stevens was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Borussia Mönchengladbach join the queue for Connor Metcalfe

Add another name to the list: Borussia Mönchengladbach have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Connor Metcalfe. The answer from St. Pauli has not changed — yet.

Match

4 matches without a win for St. Pauli

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around St. Pauli are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at St. Pauli

Joel Chima Fujita was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

Abdoulie Ceesay’s goal not enough for St. Pauli

Abdoulie Ceesay scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Borussia Dortmund, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

No hiding place for Ben Voll

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ben Voll, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

Mathias Pereira Lage runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Joel Chima Fujita

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 38 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Market

Fin Stevens hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what St. Pauli can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Nothing got past James Sands

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 26 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Connor Metcalfe

Defensive actions: 22. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad

Jackson Irvine in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at St. Pauli this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Jackson Irvine in the eights

A performance of 8.88 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match

St. Pauli get the job done against SC Freiburg

A 2‑0 win over SC Freiburg, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Adam Dźwigała out for 21 days

The medical room confirms 21 days on the sidelines for Adam Dźwigała, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Ben Voll knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at St. Pauli, and both men came out saying it was fine.
