No doubts that this is an amazing season for Wisla Krakow. Today, after an exciting game they won with Lech Poznan on Bulgarska St and gain three points in Poznan for the first time since 2003! Kudos for Marek Zienczuk – one of the best Wisla’s player in this season does not let us to forget about himself. Thanks to his goal and an assist Wisla made another perky step towards the silverware and remains invincible after 21 games in this season with 13 points of advantage to the second Groclin! Keep up the good work.

No good prognosis for those who believe in returning of silverware to Warsaw in this season. Vice-leader lost to the weakest team in league, Zaglebie Sosnowiec 2:1, for which it was just the third victory in the season so far. Moreover, Legia is the first firm beaten by Zaglebie which played in the first division last season. Until today, Zaglebie, which is going to play in the third league next season due to corruption swindle, won only with Polonia Bytom and Jagiellonia Bialystok. Legia has to forget about title in this season if she is going to lose points in such games.

It seems that many people are highly disappointed with ‘poor’ draw after average game.

We are all longing our favourite Orange Ekstraklasa to wake up from the winter rest and crave for the first whistle on Polish pitches. Since it will happen in next weekend, current leader of the league is arming for the spring round like no other Polish club.

Although Lobodzinski and Matusiak are already Wisla’s players (the latter one is already scoring goals for White Star), sport director Jacek Bednarz still struggle to gain over one of the best midfielder currently playing in Poland, and the national hero who warms the bench in German VfL Wolfsburg.

Kamil Grosicki has been officially presented as a new player of Swiss FC Sion (6th place in Swiss top division). There are already hot debates going on, whether Legia made a big mistake, letting this talented (according to Polish national team, Leo Beenhakker) player to leave Poland. Moreover, Legia is not going to earn any money on him so far, as it is only a loan with an option of definite transfer at the end of the year.
