Mattuschka's Right Peg – Details, episodes & analysis

*Apologies for the publishing a week later than planned, this was due to a technical issue with the recording, I've done what I can to make sure it doesn't sound as terrible as it once did! We'll cover Heidenheim and the Pokal exit when we're back in a fortnight.*

Mark, Bas, Conny, Don, & Kyle are back for this episode of Mattuschka's Right Peg.

Four points was a healthy return from the last two fixtures for the men. A gritty win in Hamburg against St. Pauli followed a stellar performance against Bayern, with a 0.5mm VAR intervention being the difference between winning and drawing. Unfortunately for the women, through no lack of effort, the injuries continue to mount up and the struggles have continued. Which among other results, included an exit from the DFB-Pokal Frauen. This all pales in comparison to our top story, and it won't be the last time you're hearing about it from Don and Kyle!

Like last time we've got a mixed bag of results for both sides to cover. Progression in the DFB-Pokal for the men, and a great result against the marketing construct for the women were joined by disappointing defeats to Werder Bremen and the injury crisis for the women has somehow got even worse. There's further updates to the stadium plans also.

Mark, Don, Conny & Kyle are in the studio for this episode of Mattuschka's Right Peg. We didn't think we were going to take much from the games against Bayern and Freiburg, how wrong were we? We also look back at the Women's games against Sand and Eintracht Frankfurt II and try to guess what will happen to that lighter.

For this special 50th episode of Mattuschka's Right Peg, the usual suspects (Mark, Bas, Don & Kyle) were joined by a couple of very special guests. A familiar voice to many, our stadium announcer Christian Arbeit, Head of Communications at 1. FC Union Berlin and the man behind the tweets and everything else in the English language at the club, Jacob Sweetman.

This podcast started in the depths of lockdown, and we look back at the rollercoaster that's happened over these 50 episodes so far. Jacob and Christian share their first Union experiences and some stories along the way. We also get some insight into the plans for the coming years, apt with the recent stadium share issue.

As the winter transfer window slammed shut, we hit record and even then we didn't know if players were coming or going! We look back at the games against St. Pauli and the marketing construct from Leipzig and look ahead to the next three against SAP, BMG & BVB. Finally, on the back of Steffen Baumgart being described as an 'Union legend' when he was hired as head coach, we disagree and consider who the legends of Union really are.

It was a winter break of discontent at Union as head coach Bo Svensson was sacked before he had a chance to digest his Christmas lunch after a 8 game winless run in the league and a early cup exit. Former player Steffen Baumgart was appointed as his replacement (the flatcap is yet to agree terms), but the results didn't change. Until Sunday just gone, when after 91 days Union finally picked up three points. We chat about the month that's just gone and look ahead to a vital game against St. Pauli this weekend.

Mark, Bas, Don & Kyle are joined by special guest Conny for this episode of Mattuschka's Right Peg.

After a rough week with defeat in the Pokal and in Munich, Union Berlin stabilised the ship with a battling 0-0 draw at home to Freiburg. We review those games before taking a deep dive with Conny into the Women's side as they fight for promotion to the Frauen-Bundesliga and continue a heroic cup run!

Mark, Bas, Don & Kyle are back for another episode of Mattuschka's Right Peg.

Two games and four points later we're back to discuss being an offside stud from it being six. As the Union men are next up searching for a win in a place that doesn't exist, we share our favourite Pokal stories, and in the case of Mark, not just the DFB-Pokal.
