I've heard that Australians have as many words for flies as Eskimos have for snow.

...till the end of the first half when, after robben came in for james, mueller scored.

then bayern scored 4 more times the second half ha ha ha

anyway good to see javi martinez back in the midfield and not relegated as central defender where pep put him. great also to see mueller in great scoring form again (he got 2, coman 1, lewandowski 1).

hard to gauge what are this team’s chances for the final with such a weak defender but i believe in osram.


Chelsea were the better team IMO, but threw away the win through a silly mistake. Barcelona weren't impressive at all - especially given that Chelsea aren't exactly in top form this season, either.

the little bit of commentary i read about it mentioned a “defensive masterclass” by conte, or something along those lines. not sure as i didn’t see it personally.

today i’m only slightly interested in the man u-sevilla. it’s in the middle of the workday so i should watch it with the corner of my eye while i catch up on a ton of paperwork.

the (minor) attraction for me is sevilla itself who won the europa league so many times recently and i think finally make the champions. so i’m slightly curious. not sure what to expect of man u now that mkhitarian is in liverpool. what is that team about these days?

Jose's press conferences.

But seriously, they've got Sanchez now, so that might interest you. Keep in mind though, it's a Jose team so thrills are thin on the ground. I'll be watching it though.

i had a pile of receipts to process and was looking at the screen according to the announcers screams. i didn’t look much at the screen was more like a radio thing with mostly monotones. except right before the end of the first half and yeah that looked exciting.



eta: the 2nd half seemed a bit livelier

!@#$%! 02.23.2018 07:34 PM

ooooh so excited to have bundesliga for breakfast again

ima make fried spam with green chile and eggs hell yeah. black coffee. and a hike on some rocks in the afternoon.

sweet sweet weekend.

thank you fußball

demonrail666 02.24.2018 04:25 AM

Glad you're back into it (even if it's with the wrong league :) )

h8kurdt 02.24.2018 04:48 AM

Same sentiments here. Welcome back!

Sorry I've been around much either. I usually start typing then get bored of myself and just delete it before sending it.

Big march being organised by WH fans next month, against the board's running of the club. I know the fans have a reputation for over-estimating where the team should be but there are so many things going on behind the scenes that non-fans won't know about. I fully support the action, especially now most fans are behind Moyes and the players and can see that it's the owners who are slowly killing us.
 

 

 

!@#$%! 02.24.2018 08:32 AM

wait that’s that pink floyd movie

 


so you marchin’?

nothing wrong with this brilliant league, and the price is right ha ha ha

but yeah it pains me to see great players like auba poached by so-so prem outfits like arsenal and get ruined there. also where did mkhitarian go?

plus, fan control prevents pink floyd marches

but yeah i admit it’s not the most famous one. and it misses debruyne. nevertheless, so much fun ha ha ha ha

lots of catching up to do w/ the table & the current dramas

h8kurdt just press “submit reply”

!@#$%! 02.24.2018 11:24 AM

holy shit bayern attacked attacked attacked but berlin defended like crazy and it ended 0-0

bayern missed some great chances, the most clear one by ribéry after some great work by robben in the first half.

in spite of the no-score it was still fun/tense to watch

ok

!@#$%! 02.24.2018 01:17 PM

fucking hamburg fans shooting fireworks, game is stopped

sounds like the usa. for fucking shame

I will be yeah. It's the 1st time I've done anything like that for a football team but things have gone too far to ignore. It won't force the board out but it will hopefully draw wider attention to what they've been doing to the club.

what have they done to it? i mean i know they moved stadium etc but what’s the actual damage?



semi-watched this morning a nice entertaining upper mid-table match, leverkusen vs schalke. schalke won 2-0 there was a spectacular save by leno (leverkusen’s gk) there was a red card there was a penalty there was a little bit of everything really and it was tons of fun. just wish i had paid greater attention to it but had a handful of small internet chores & things. worth checking the highlights though if you can find them.



eta: leipzig/cologne about to start. not sure who coaches cologne since chet moved to dortmund!

Precious Arsenal tears.

Surely, SURELY Wenger will leave this summer?

demonrail666 02.25.2018 01:44 PM

^Symbols^Basically, they lied to the fans about the conditions of the deal for the stadium move and their financial commitment to the club.There's more to it than that but most of the rest stem from those two issues.

For comedy value for the rest of us let's hope he's there for a long time yet.

oh i see. i was able to google the right terms this time. secret contracts and what not. https://www.theguardian.com/football...er-season-rent

—-

anyway koln just flipped the tortilla on lipstick and overcame an early goal against them to win 2-1, and denied lipstick the chance to get to 2nd place on the table. fun game. quite a weekend.

looks also like bundesliga is responding to commercial pressure and embracing the salami schedule because dortmund plays augsburg monday. fri, sat, sun, mon they have games now.

It's horrible isn't it? You watch what happens on the pitch and its the best entertainment imaginable, but look behind the scenes and it's as rancid as can be. But I suppose that's part of its interest.
