FC Bayern München Thread [2011/2012]

[ShiftyPowers]

You know what irks me, is that people seem to underestimate how good this team is because of some slow starts. After we put an ass beating on City and sent Tevez packing for St. Andrews, all I heard was "City were dominant through the first 10 minutes, if they could have just kept it up..." Now after the win over Madrid I'm hearing a lot of the same things.

Maybe. JUST MAYBE. There's a reason why teams don't dominate this Bayern team. I'm just saying.

I think it's mainly due to the general overlooking of the Bundesliga, as most of your players haven't really been superstars outside of it (Barring obvious Robben, Ribery etc.) the british media and the likes underestimate the team

Jeder wusste da schon, dass er ein Produkt der holländischen Divenschule ist. Mit Johan Cruyff hatte es angefangen, Ruud Gullit, Edgar Davids und Rafael van der Vaart setzten diese Tradition fort. Mangelnde Eintracht und schlechte Stimmung haben der holländischen Nationalmannschaft manches Turnier verhagelt.
Robben steht in dieser Tradition.

Speak German, Xifio?

From a stupid article about how Robben has been a disaster for Bayern, the club and fans. Frankly, the last 3 years are the best I've ever had as a fan, but whatever.

 

[Back Door Skip]

I understood und, tradition and dieser.

 

[Arnau]

In the dinner after the game against Madrid Rummenigge was about to tell a words to the squad, then the microphone did not work and he said: Typical Spanish.

 

[Deisler]

Robben until 2015, and it is official.

Now go win the CL

 

[ShiftyPowers]

You see that because of clauses in the Neuer and Gustavo transfers, we make more money if we lose the CL Final than if we win?

 

[Sir Calumn]

Haha yeah those clauses were cheeky!

Still, that's only in terms of prize money which is only a tiny tiny part of clubs' income.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Right, you would imagine the sales of European Champion shirts for 30 euros apiece would offset the 2.6m difference in prize money.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Just saw that we are the #2 team in the major European Leagues in terms of possession, after Barcelona of course. #3... Juventus surprisingly.

only a surprise if you close your eyes to Serie A ... there's actually 3 Italian teams in that European top 10 ...

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Guess it's easy to keep possession when no one presses you

 

[Xifio]

haha

Vidal

 

[ShiftyPowers]

We relegated Koln

Hertha won today to jump them and face Dusseldorf, Paderborn, or St. Pauli in the relegation playoffs.

The fans took it well

 

[Deisler]

Vidal

I'd take Kroos or Gustavo any day of the week, and twice on the weekend.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Definitely Kroos.

 

[Jaboldinho]

This sounds wrong.

Gustavo over Vidal? Really? I can definately see the case for Kroos but Gustavo?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

They are different players. I think Gustavo is stronger, faster, and a better destroyer. I'd still rather have Vidal, but Gustavo gets overlooked even in Germany when he's really good.
