Papadopolous - you've nailed him, I feel exactly the same when I watch him. What a bastard, hard as nails, what the German football press love to call "a mentality monster" (it's been my favourite meaningless football cliché of the past year), and you sort of hate him for all his theatrics, but can't keep your eyes off him and kind of wish he played for your team.
Frankfurt got a free pass from a lot of fans and media for their terrible performance on Saturday on the grounds that at least they created lots of chances. In truth they failed to beat an ordinary Wolfsburg team thanks to their own carelessness. We'll be down there with you, G-Man. Oh, and my first experience of a video ref in the stadium. Frankfurt were given a penalty when Boating was up-ended, but it was overturned when the VR (correctly) ruled he was offside when he received the ball. As we had a Freiburg goal cancelled out last weekend by the VR, also for offside, we can hardly complain. In fact, no one did.
