Don't forget that tomorrow the underpass at Hämmerlingstrasse is closed, Unioner. You'll have to go the other way around :)

27 and a half hours to go til we're back here, Unioner. Can't wait. Eisern!!!

The future's so bright...
...etc etc etc.
See you in Hoffenheim, Unioner.

Pretty here, Unioner. Morning.

The ??????? of scoring your first goal after a long-term injury. The ??????? for Mainz 05.

#Mainz05

Well that was wild, Unioner. Time for the hairdryer treatment. And not in the Alex Ferguson sense. See you in 15.

While we wait for the protest with the tennis balls on the pitch to come to an end... here's a picture of kevin Volland. he hit the post with a belting, swerving, dipping drive from outside the box after 40 minutes. He's been really good.

Couldnt have put it better. Someone in Mainz has got a sense of humour. #M05FCU | #fcunion | 0-0 | 31'

Missy Elliot (or the great Ann Peebles who she sampled) may not stand the rain, but even they would have to admit it makes for a hell of a specatacle. This is wild, and somehow still goalless. #M05FCU | #fcunion | 0-0 | 20'

Tghe ball won't bounce, it sinks. But it's a good start here for Union. Hollerbach stings the keepers palms with a drive, the Volland hits the bar with a deft, flicked volley from haberer's ball from the right. But then there's almighty double save from Rönnow! #M05FCU | #fcunion | 0-0 | 09'

The weather is filthy - proper football weather - and the players are ready. It's a HUGE match, and it's kick off in Mainz. Eisern!!!

Five minutes, Unioner. All is good with the world.

And the starting XI is in. #M05FCU

Football is a winter sport. Part 2,876.

Not long, Unioner. Not long...
