The St. Pauli Chronicle
Match18 Nov 2026
The cup run ends for St. Pauli
0‑1 against Hamburger SV, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.
Match21 Nov 2026
The wait goes on for St. Pauli
5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

5 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at St. Pauli can tell you which week it ends in.

Antonio Marín wants to go home
“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at St. Pauli can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Eric Smith asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
