+++ Lost bet: Too bad for Werder and ‘Santi', luck for the Abfahrt Arsten fan club. After Santiago Garcia made a bet at the fan club Christmas party with the fans from the Abfahrt Arsten that Werder would win in Berlin, the Argentinean must pay off his bet in the summer. As it turns out, because of the lost bet, the members of the Abfahrt Arsten fan club are invited to a collective grill evening in the summer. The host and grill master will be Santiago Garcia! +++
+++ Werder celebrates Christmas: Starting at 4 p.m., all of the Werder players, the coaching team and workers in the business offices were invited with their families to the GOP Varieté Theater for the annual Werder Christmas party. +++
+++ Johannes Wurtz writes history: Last weekend, SC Paderborn won for the first time in their football history at the Betzenberg against Kaiserslautern. Paderborn actually scored their first ever goal in Lautern in the 1-0 victory. The goal winner of course was Werder's loaned player Johannes Wurtz. The match was special for Wurtz, who was born in Saarland and there is a special rivalry between Saarland and Kaiserslautern. "Of course it's excellent to win on the Betzenberg in front of this crowd. The fact that I scored the game winner is just great," said Wurtz, whose family was in the stadium. +++
+++ Akpala and Füllkrug empty-handed: While Wurtz scored a goal last weekend, Joseph Akpala and Niclas Füllkrug did not score for their teams. Akpala was subbed out in the 89th minute of his team's 3-2 away loss against Konyaspor. Füllkrug meanwhile had to accept a bitter 4-1 defeat against Arminia Bielefeld. +++
