Guest today is Abel Meszaros, Abel is a journalist and TV analyst with Hungary's Sport 1 TV, he is also a long-time panellist on Talking Fussball and The Yellow Wall podcasts. Abel also writes for France Football and Spielverlagerung and is a life-long fan of BVB.
On tonight's show, Ben and Abel review the 20-21 season. The club has been through a real roller coaster of a season the likes of which we have not seen since 17-18, under Austrian interim coach Peter Stöger who took over from the sacked Peter Bosz, when 'Die Schwarz-Gelben' finished in an impressive Champions League qualifying 4th place.
1. A third season under Swiss coach Lucien Favre after narrowly missing out on the title by 2 points in an impressive 18-19 but 16 points in 19-20. Was the club's trust in Favre the right move?
2. Impressive results but conceding stupid numbers of goals, why issues with set pieces are still the issue and the backline is still the issue but do BVB have talent in the back-line to come how much of an issue is Nico Schulz really?
3. The DFB Pokal campaign this season did we overachieve? Paderborn proves a bigger threat than expected and taking it to new coach Marco Rose's "Gladbach plus a preview of RB Leipzig and the semifinal.
4. Former assistant Edin Terzic takes over from Favre midseason coming from only having experience of being an assistant with Besiktas and West Ham United. How good has Terzic really done? Is Edin destined for greater things?
5. Are BVB still the number 2 team in the Bundesliga or have the scales shifted toward RB Leipzig at least this season?
6. What positions should BVB be focussing on in the summer, can we hold on to Haaland and Sancho the dynamic duo and initial thoughts on what Marco Rose might bring.
7. Predictions for the league finish and the DFB Pokal.

The aim of the podcast is to make this wonderful football club more accessible to non-German speakers. The podcast may also be of interest to German football fans who want to learn or practice English.
Our guests are Colin Farmery who is a journalist (WSC When Saturday Comes, The Guardian) and football writer author of books including Seventeen Miles to Paradise and Legend: The Alan Knight story who is also a director of Gosport Borough FC (7th tier England) and a former director of Portsmouth FC from 2013-19.
Dennis Gentenaar is the goalkeeping coach of Israeli champions Maccabi Tel Aviv, formerly a goalkeeper who played 270 matches at elite level with Ajax, NEC and VV Venlo in the Dutch Eredivisie.
Gentenaar was reserve keeper to Roman Weidenfeller at BVB in 2005/06 under Bert van Marwijk in a season when 'Die Schwarz-Gelben' finished seventh players at that time included Metzelder, Rosicky, Dede and Sahin.
The topic of the show today is the proposed break-away European football league the European Super League which brings together 15 top European clubs including the two big clubs from Manchester, Milan and Madrid clubs plus Juventus, Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea.
These clubs will under the proposed model play in an annual fixed pool of clubs plus a meagre 5 clubs who qualify playing a seasonal tournament with no relegation nor promotion.
The 'ESL' is a major challenge to the UEFA Champions League and Europaleague and could be highly damaging to the national leagues across Europe and is highly controversial amongst supporters.
Borussia Dortmund have issued a statement saying that they will not take part as have Bayern Munich and no other Bundesliga clubs have been invited but what will happen next? Will the ESL succeed? Will German clubs be drawn into the 'big business league'?
1. European Super League what is it about? Who is behind it?
2. What impact will the ESL have on national leagues, cups and Champions League?
3. Could this benefit top clubs in smaller national leagues like Celtic, Ajax or Anderlecht?
4. How will players and the football industry react to the possibility of bans from playing for their national teams?
5. Is the ESL nothing more than an exhibition league with no incentive for fans to follow it? Or an improvement on the Champions League?
6. Could this proposal bring a benefit to historically big clubs in small leagues like Holland, Scotland and Belgium?
7. What is the business sense for clubs taking part? Will the fixed income from the tournament make managing the business of running clubs more effective off-setting financial risk and giving clubs the chance to plan better?
8. What is the current position of Borussia Dortmund fans and the wider community of supporters across football how should they react to this development?
The European supporters federation, which this fan club belongs to, mentioned in the show is the FSE Football Supporters Europe whose position on the Super League can be found at:
https://www.fanseurope.org/en/news/news-3/2414-fse-condemns-european-super-league-plans.html
Super League update following days of fan protests and legal action by UEFA 12 clubs including all the English Premier League teams have withdrawn and only Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid remain of the original 15 clubs. UEFA is promising reform of the Champions League, fans remain highly sceptical to be continued....

Vielen Dank für Ihre Interesse am BVB Londoner Fan-Community-Podcast. Jede Woche geht es darum, eine Facette des Lebens von Borussia Dortmund im Gespräch mit Experten und ehemalige Teilnehmer des Vereinslebens wie Spielern, Fans und Journalisten, die diesen Verein in seiner Entwicklung beeinflusst haben, in unsere Podcast zu entdecken.
Nicht zum ersten Mal steht Roman Bürki in der Kritik wegen unbeständige Leistungen, obwohl der Schweizer ein Publikumsliebling ist, hat er nie die unumstrittene Position von Vorgänger wie Roman Weidenfeller, Teddy DeBeer oder Thomas Klos erreicht.
Großartige Leistungen werden von schwäche-Phasen gefolgt die das Dortmunder Fußfall Publikum nicht gerecht werden und nun mit der Ankunft des neuen Trainers Marco Rose werden die Stimmen im Verein für ein Transfer immer lauter.
Um dieses Thema zu besprechen und im allgemein das Thema des Torwart Lebens bei Borussia Dortmund zu besprechen haben wir heute in der Sendung mit zwei Torhüter gesprochen mit viel Erfahrung: Horst Bertram stand zwischen 1971-1983 beim BvB im Tor. Rolf Meyer war zwischen 1981-91 zweiter Torwart von Borussia Dortmund und ist aktuell Torwarttrainer beim VFL Osnabrück.
Zwei Jahrzehnte und zwei spannende Jahrzehnte im Dortmunder Fußball. Die Themen des heutigen Podcasts:
1. Roman Bürki ein beliebter aber unbeständiger Torwart, welche Stärken, welche Schwächen und welche Zukunft hat der Schweizer in Dortmund? Und wer wäre der optimale Nachfolger?
2. Torhüter wie Kwiatowski, Tilkowski, Immel, DeBeer, Klos, Lehmann, Weidenfeller im Gespräch. Ein Klub, viele Helden aber wer war der beste?
3. Horst Bertram und seine Epoche bei der Borussia, wie er 1971 nach Dortmund kam, ersten Spiele in Stadion Rote Erde.
4. Das neue Stadion Westfalenstadion. Bertram per Anhalter zum Bayern Spiel. UEFA Cup gegen Glasgow Rangers 1982.
5. Rolf Meyer beim BVB, 1981/2 erste Saison in Dortmund mit Horst Bertram und Immel. Highlights von seiner Karriere. Das Leben eines Reservetorwarts der Borussia.
6. Duell gegen Celtic Glasgow im UEFA Cup '87, der Pokal Sieg von 1989 gegen Favoriten Werder Bremen.
7. Das Leben als Torwarttrainer an der 'Bremer Bruecke' beim VFL Osnabrück.

It's all change at the Westfalenstadion and with the unrest amongst players and fans alike at the recent string of poor results and only 1 win in the last 6 league games and disappointing draws against both Mainz and Hoffenheim teams which BVB would normally expect 6 points from these home fixtures the head has been on interim coach Edin Terzic.
With key injuries most importantly Axel Witsel in midfield and a defence which has conceded 31 goals already by matchday 21 is looking decidedly critical even accounting for the absence of first-choice keeper Roman Bürki and Dan and centre back Axel Zagadou.
Second choice keeper Marvin Hitz has looked poor under pressure and an impressive Thomas Delaney has not been helped by Emre Can having to play in defence and Mo Dahoud being in such poor form.
The club is also going through financial concerns with debts of €70m and players still on reduced wages there have been no winter signings, only U17 international striker Julian Rijkhoff coming in from Ajax Amsterdam to join the academy.
Still playing behind closed doors Borussia is missing the crucial 12th man and looking the worse for it now 16 points behind Bayern and of more concern, 6 points from 4th placed VFL Wolfsburg.
The agreement with Borussia Mönchengladbach coach for a three-year contract could not have come at a better time but who is Marco Rose and what is at stake this season and for the Leipzig born incumbent coach?
On today's show, our guests are Sascha Staat a German football journalist who works for Ruhrnachrichten Dortmund's main newspaper as well as Eurosport and DAZN TV channels.
1. Current season BVB lie in sixth place in the table and are far off the mark in terms of a champions league place. The defence is far from stable and players like Marco Reus are not in the form to provide leadership. Why the instability?
2. The Roman Bürki enigma, have the weaknesses returned or are the goals being conceded a result of the instability crucially at right and left-back in defence.
3, The pressure is on Mats Hummels but is the pressure beginning to take away his enthusiasm? What should be the ideal line-up at Centre-back? Where should the constant Raphael Guerreiro be playing and which of the current defenders should be on Rose's for sale list this summer?
4. What are issues in midfield without Axel Witsel? Can Borussia rely on Thomas Delaney? Where should Can be playing? Pundit and former international Lothar Matthäus says a player like Matthias Sammer is missing but which players could fill that gap from the current squad?
5. Marco Reus has had uncharacteristic poor form and failed to lead the team in several matches, but is there too much reliance on 17-year-old Jude Bellingham who has had to hit the ground running. Giovanni Reyna has been a revelation but is now rumoured to be on the selling list, he has looked physically less than assertive but would that be a good move.
6. Enter Youssoufa Moukoko could he replace the incredible Erling Haaland, a striker who has scored more times than games played in since joining 1 year ago. Could BVB manage without Haaland and what else is in reserve?
7. What can be expected from Marco Rose in terms of tactical changes, what has been learnt from his style of coaching at RB Salzburg and Borussia Mönchengladbach. Is the slump in the other Borussia's form a concern? Will BVB be able to provide a war chest for Rose in the summer without selling a key player like Sancho?
Exciting times at the Westfalenstadion, with the Revierderby coming up at the weekend can the signing of Rose provide some stability?
Sascha's book is 'Borussia Dortmund für Klugscheißer' a book in German with many little known facts on the club, you can buy it on Amazon.
