I've heard people rumbling about how he and Poldi aren't buddy-buddy anymore because of how differently things happened in club play for them... do you think that's true? If so it makes me really sad, because they're so sweet together.

It seems that Poldi got kinda pissed at the media for the whole Schweinski thing. When the interviewer asked if they're getting a divorce, he says they were never 'married', and the hearts of all Schweinski shippers everywhere broke into a million pieces. D:

They'll always be my OTP though.

And apparently, there was some rivalry, with both wanting to play left attacking. Of course, that they then brought Luca Toni didn't help.
