Blogs should have a significant starting point. Mike Malloch from Knownet set me up this blog over a week ago. And I have spent a week trying to think of something significant to start with.

Blogs should have a significant starting point. Mike Malloch from Knownet set me up this blog over a week ago. And I have spent a week trying to think of something significant to start with. What could be better than Werder Bremen going into the winter break top of the Bundesliga.

Let me explain a little. It is not just that I live in Bremen and support the local club. But it is that despite big business taking over sport (like everything else) and turning it into a commodity to be bought and sold, small community clubs like Werder still turn over the big business backed teams. Compared to Schalke, Dortmund or Leverkusen - let alone Bayern Munchen - Werder have little money. But they have still been consistently the best team of the season.

And that is what makes a sport like football still exciting. Once money rules there is no reason to follow a club any more.Just for the record Werder overcame a nervous start last night to win 3-0 against Rostock. Interestingly, for the top team, this was Werders first match they did not concede a goal.

Long may Werder stay top. I shall keep you in touch.
