Summary
Join Football Ramble Daily hosts Luke Moore and Andy Brassell for a fascinating trip into the heart of German football. The two first head to the Merkur Spiel-Arena alongside 31,000 fans as Fortuna Düsseldorf host Hertha Berlin in a Friday night relegation scrap. Immerse yourself in the electric atmosphere as the two sides play out a thrilling 3-3 draw, before we hear from Fortuna manager Uwe Rösler.
Then the following day, join Luke 70km north-east of Düsseldorf at one of football’s most revered stadiums: the Westfalenstadion, home of Borussia Dortmund. The fans in the infamous Yellow Wall are on deafening form as their beloved team scrape past Freiburg in stormy conditions. And, finally, we transport you over to Cologne for Saturday’s late game as Andy and 50,000 others see FC Köln sweep aside Schalke – and afterwards long-serving goalkeeper Timo Horn tells us what makes his hometown club so special.
Our thanks to:
Thorsten Schaar - Fortuna Düsseldorf fan
Uwe Rösler - Manager of Fortuna Düsseldorf
Timo Horn - FC Köln goalkeeper

| 0:00.0 | Why do you think I got through the automatic EU passport gates and you didn't? Do you think |
| 0:09.4 | it's because I'm on the continent to any brass when your the football rambles look |
| 0:13.0 | more? I think there's an awesomeness threshold, |
| 0:15.0 | I wasn't able to cross, but you were able to do automatically mate, they saw me coming |
| 0:20.8 | a mile off. I felt the Eurovision in my bones. Also they realised how mean I am and |
| 0:25.3 | refused to swap seats for someone on the plane earlier. So what was our 55 minute flight? |
| 0:30.7 | So it's probably something to do with that. If that couple break up it's your fault. Partly |
| 0:35.4 | are you talking about us now? This feels very new and out of town the |
| 0:44.9 | Mercushbiel Arena. Even though it's, well I think three, four kilometres from the airport, |
| 0:50.5 | we've arrived here quite early, it's quite quiet and you get a good chance to have a little |
| 0:56.2 | look around it, don't you? There's some guys in the corner who are blowing up what appears |
| 1:02.2 | to be a four-tuner düsseldorf sort of blimp. It might take off, it might take off, is he |

| 1:15.3 | shirt, showroom. Petrol station. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A bit bigger and a bit more impressive |
| 1:20.0 | although the two guys who are trying to put it up aren't as impressive. But this is a cool |
| 1:24.6 | place. Cham, Chambling Amateurs, would you say? What the team or the other guys do? The two |
| 1:29.4 | guys here. Yeah, they've got to try and tie it down but this will be a good game tonight |
| 1:34.6 | because obviously both teams aren't out of the woods by any stretch. Hertor have got |
| 1:38.8 | a big project they're trying to get off the ground but they both need to win tonight |
| 1:42.2 | really don't they? Which is ironic because those two guys are trying to stop that. |
