In today's episode of Beer & Honey, Raphael and Christoph take a look at two teams that are in a serious crisis (Gladbach and Hoffenheim) and talk about Bayern who are acting like they're in a crisis to keep from falling into a real crisis.
Dear listeners,
our number one topic today is of course Raphael's sensational interview with the very unhappy Manuel Neuer who needed to vent some of his negative emotions surrounding his injury and the sacking of his friend Toni Tapalovic as the goalkeepers' coach at Bayern München.
Three draws in a row? No tactical discipline? No Lewandowski? The alarm bells are ringing loudly down in Bavaria and it looks like the Bundesliga could have its first thrilling championship race in over a decade, with Bayern only 5 points ahead of sixth place Eintracht Frankfurt. According to Oliver Kahn, it's all Hansi Flick's fault because the World Cup destroyed the Bayern players' confidence.
The alarm bells in Berlin are ringing even louder, too loud for Fredi Bobic, who got sacked at Hertha BSC who are in 17th place and staring into the abyss of relegation once again.

The Bundesliga wrapped up the first half of the season and we witnessed two teams that are on a run: Leverkusen have now won five straight and Wolfsburg have won six straight. Ten time defending champs Bayern however are in a miniature crisis after two draws in a row. On top of that there is some drama around Toni Tapalovic, the now former goalkeepers' coach and best friend of Manuel Neuer, who got sacked and around fashionista/influencer/well dressed man Serge Gnabry who went to visit the Paris Fashion Week on his day off on Sunday.
Raphael and Christoph will discuss...
The Bundesliga is back from a long winter break and some teams seem to have forgotten to train their defense during the break or maybe some other teams found new methods of training goal scoring, because match day 16 was wild. Köln beat Bremen 7-1, Dortmund hung on against Augsburg for a 4-3 and Wolfsburg blew Freiburg away 6-0. But don't worry if you missed the goal scoring extravaganza, Raphael Honigstein and Christoph Biermann will tell you all about it.
In our latest episode of "Beer & Honey" Raphael and Christoph regale us with their work/vacation activities during the Bundesliga's time off in the winter break. While Christoph went to rainy Belgium and watched Royal Antwerp play Gent, Raphael secured some time in sunny southern Spain where Borussia Dortmund were preparing for the second half of the season. He got to talk to coach Terzic and former Liverpool midfielder Emre Can. So naturally we will focus on the BVB in our 11th edition of "Beer & Honey". Other BVB-related topics include the contract situations of Youssoufa Moukoko and Jude Bellingham....
Will Bayern stay top of the table despite their injury woes? Can Freiburg maintain their strong run and stay "Bayernjäger"? Or maybe Eintracht Frankfurt's recent European success will translate to a even better second half of the season? What about the suprising run that Union has been having for about four seasons now? Will RBL be able to catch up with Bayern now that Konrad Laimer is back from injury? Is Borussia Dortmund low key the most disappointing team of the last ten years? Where will they go once Jude Bellingham leaves? What about the bottom feeders? Can Schalke hold...

Following Germany's disappointing outing at the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar, heads were going to roll, but it was unclear who would have to take the fall. Now we know that Oliver Bierhoff, the man in charge of the national teams amongst many other things at the German Football Association DFB since 2004, has decided to step down in a "you can't fire me, I quit!" move.
Raphael "Honey" Honigstein and Christoph "Beer" Biermann have some opinions to share with you on the new direction the DFB has to take to ensure a successful European Championship in 2024 and...
The FIFA World Cup of 2022 has ended for Germany's national team. Raphael Honigstein and Christoph Biermann know all about the reasons behind the second time in a row that Germany failed to qualify for the knock-out stage of the World Cup.

Secondly, if you're gonna be an attacking team, at least convert your goal scoring opportunities. How much is head coach Hansi Flick to blame and how much was it the players' fault? Find out in this episode of Beer and...
