In order to apply the curse of the "Blind Spot" on the "Funfnuller's" (as written about in the book Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson) I have raised 10 unlucky questions for my judgement about the "Carnival-Chameleon Boys"....
Main is in 80% of their club name but they live on the Rhein, where does the 10% of Z come from ?
Mainz has been twinned with Watford in the United Kingdom since 1956. In England, Watford is regarded as a comic town and it's football team are the butt of many jokes - even their own:-
Do Mainz 05 share the same smoking habits with Watford FC ?
Unlike Frankfurt-am-Mainhattan, Mainz doesn't appear to offer a distinctive Citynight Skyline and the only other language on their Tourist Website is French, not English.
Do they therefore only accept "Smurfs" into the city limits whilst Inselaffen are completely banned?
Haven't they got any decent songs other than one about jesters heaven ? - Narrhallamarsch is rubbish, it's only 1 min 10 seconds long and judging by its Youtube results it doesn't appear to even have any words to sing...I'll upload a proper song to them tomorrow morning.
Their tricots are red and white. They are now a mirror image of Ajax Amsterdam, with a big red block on a white shirt. Mainz 05 used to have checkered red and white shirts. Why this apparent chameleon like activity ?
I bet their away tricots are or@nge ? (I can't speak this colour - even in my mother tongue - and I've promised Miso never to use this word or Holl@nd in the English Fan Forum sector.)
Have they still got two "Septic" "Soccer" players in their football team - Preston Zimmerman and Jared Jeffrey ?
Remaining on the subject topic of "Septic" USA, why is their nick-name Die Funfernullers (Die Nullfunfers !), do they originally hail from Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean ?.
Internet-Team, maybe you might find some time before Samstag 04/12/2010 to give me your viewpoints on these questions ? After all I have only been InselaffeSGE for eight years and as such a new Boy I still need help.

One last question before I logoff to go and eat some lovely Fish and Chips from my local "Chippie"
What happened to Mainz 50 before 1963 ? - Not much I'd wager....

Mainz is located directly where the river Rhein meets the river Main - hence the name.
They are called 'Nullfünfer' as it stands for 05 coming from their club name (founded in 19'05').
Not sure about their smoking habits but Watford seems a good match. Didnt they sing 'We're hornets hornets hornets' to the melody of 'I'm horny horny horny' as their stadium anthem? Mainz sing 'Never walk alone' follwed by 'Wir sind nur ein Karnevalsverein' (We are just a carnivals club) - so there..
Hello Tom - goood of you to get in contact with me.
I've been coming to the Waldstadion since Samstag 07.04.2001 15:30hrs and after the first verse of singing Im Herzen Von Europa I realised I had found the real soul of SGE. ,-) ,-) I've never been the same since and have only ever seen one game in the EPL since my semi-religious experience on 07/04/2001.
I normally try to see at least 3 or 4 matches a season at the Waldstadion. The matches I can't travel to I watch on my Laptop with a SKY Bundesliga xtra satellite hardware package.
My team in England since I was boy of 4 years old is Arsenal FC so I have been lucky enough to see the Gunners win the League and Cup double three times.
However, as I guess that you read in the Geman sports press the EPL is all about Corporate entertainment and only very rich people who can afford to pay the exorbitant ticket prices. This is bad for Grandfather, Father and Son families.
It is no longer a sport for young likely lads or real fans that want to drink beer, do some loud singing and jump up and down a lot.
This saddened me for a while but now I am supporting the best team in the World and I understand the spirit and passion of SGE so who cares !!
Chus and talk to me soon, maybe we can discuss the outcome of the away game at Koln next week.

I believe their away kits are green this season..
Well one way or the other - SGE won the derby!!!
Cheers

it`s amazing and great to read that we have supporters out from Germany, especially in good old England.
How many matches did you see in Frankfurt? Did you interested in football before you discover Eintracht Frankfurt?
Have a good time!
Tom
