Match9 Aug 2042

Admira Wacker cannot stop winning

13 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Match9 Aug 2042

No mercy from Admira Wacker

Austria Wien will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Admira Wacker were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Squad11 Aug 2042

A fracture rules Sebastian Lindner out for 19 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Admira Wacker will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market11 Aug 2042

Austria Wien come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Admira Wacker did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market11 Aug 2042

Eyes on Desmond Kumih-Barimah again

The phone has started ringing about Desmond Kumih-Barimah again, and this time the name on the line is Altach. Admira Wacker are listening politely and promising nothing.

Player ratings11 Aug 2042

Age has not caught Louis Zecevic-John yet — 7.98

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.98 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Match9 Aug 2042

Admira Wacker are at home on the road

6 straight away victories. Sides that win away are usually sides that can defend and can counter, and the table has begun to reflect what those journeys have earned.

Squad11 Aug 2042

Davide Veroli 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 Admira Wacker this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad11 Aug 2042

Real improvement from Julian Ilsanker at Admira Wacker

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Julian Ilsanker is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match26 Jul 2042

Admira Wacker make home a hard place to visit

206 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Match26 Jul 2042

Nobody wants to play Admira Wacker right now

11 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Match26 Jul 2042

Admira Wacker tear Sturm Graz apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Sturm Graz, and it could have been more.

Squad28 Jul 2042

A fracture rules Sebastian Lindner out for 33 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Admira Wacker will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings28 Jul 2042

Both of them Ruben Xhaka's — 8.63

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.63, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad28 Jul 2042

Guus Simons says Admira Wacker went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market28 Jul 2042

Raphael Wober is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Admira Wacker is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Market28 Jul 2042

Eyes on Axel Mignolet again

The phone has started ringing about Axel Mignolet again, and this time the name on the line is Austria Wien. Admira Wacker are listening politely and promising nothing.

Market28 Jul 2042

Admira Wacker say no — this time

The offer from Mattersburg for Benjamin Roberts 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.

Squad18 Feb 2041

Andrei Mihaila damages knee ligaments — 137 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 137 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match18 Feb 2041

Admira Wacker up to position 1

52 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Squad18 Feb 2041

Xaver Posch: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Admira Wacker have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad18 Feb 2041

Tempers go at Admira Wacker

Justin Omoregie 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.

Market18 Feb 2041

Valentino Laimer 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 Admira Wacker can pretend not to have heard.

Market18 Feb 2041

Marko Fuchs has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Admira Wacker they have already started talking about him in the past tense.
