Made a promise to myself to watch all the Dortmund games to the title. Well, thats gone fast. You get one early goal but when you equalise almost immediately and the result stays 1:1 fook me. Thats bad. There were some situations, maybe pen on Adeyemi [for me doubtfull, cause Adeyemi was looking for contact there but still no var was rather weird] but overally too little pressure from Dortmund for a team thats goin for the first title in 10years. Old man had two good occasions but after second one he was totally silent. Was this off target header from Bellingham going where also the title will go? We will see...

Yeah to me also Dortmund have tougher road. That said with Bayern form/turmoil the title is Dortmund's to lose. I dont think there will be better chance than this i really hope they can took it. Julien right know He is the real winner here. So the Bayern was not happy with how the team was playing. Which is fine cause it wasnt great with some real stinkers along the road [Gladbach/Leverkusen]. The thing is they were still going for everything with perfect record in CL. I have no doubt City games would be closer [Upamecano was the architect of this and he was very good under Nagelsmann even earning WC place - minus calamity game at Gladbach of course], the Freiburg lose would not happen and also Mainz/Hoffenheim would not happen. Would they won against Dortmund like with Tuchel, who knows, im rather sure they would not lose at minimum. Even firing him after thrashing against City would be wrong, after all this team is in transition after losing 40goals a season striker. I would understand firing him if he was some Hansi understudy, guy from Bayern reserves or whatever not someone you bring for 20mln for a long project. Its just doesnt make sense, it just feels personal. Kahn doest like Julien and thats it. And he we will pay for it with his job most likely.

Hertha already 2 down. Dardai effect annuliert

Wow, Mane in the squad. All hands on the deck for the title?

Both are terrible deals. For that money you have deciding players at least at buli level [pretty sure no one is earning that kind of money at RB/Leverkusen]. There is no place in Europe other than Dortmund where they could get 4-5, maybe MLS but lately they dont bring semi-retired barely alive guys. Your salary power is lower than Bayern's but the gap between you and the rest of the league is still big and you wasting this on two guys you will be using as a depth. Clear Hummels contract and bring two CDs for 3,5 each, same with Reus. Hell, Reus role [playing 10-15 games a season] could easily be filled by some u21 player. So you have freed 16mln of salary. Even one player for 10mln with 6mln salary would be better than those two. Its no brainer. But somehow im sure you will extend them both and one could get even two years! Its Bayerns masterclass that they offload damaged Sule and Hummels to you, and even earlier Gotze. I know you like Brandt but i would offload him as well and after first good runde he just had [didnt see it against good teams though] you could even get some money for him from some desperate premier league/turkish side. That said i would extend him for 3/4.

Amazing opening of second season of LOST [slightly spoilerish of 1st]

Im in!

Peak Ekstraklasa goal last night. From the violent shoves at the corner flag to the top defending by both goalkeeper and defenders. Goal that was probably final nail in the coffin for away side Miedz that occupy last place. With 2points more there would be some hope...

What he is showing there? Offside?

I dont know if its only me but this photo gives so many possibilities

So far Tuchel is most calm part of Bayern [we played great match LOOOOL] and we know he is just faking it now. With his blow out which is inevitable it will be spectacular. Im talking Trapattoni spectacular. Cant wait. It was so stupid, petty decision. Why not fire Julien before World Cup? Were they just waiting for excuse [skiing] because it really look like they was. Its something that public dont know that triggered this, maybe journo lady previously was sleeping with someone from board, or maybe they got caught boinking in the locker room. I call whole official explanation bulls h i t.

England

Try again later try again later for the 5mins. Then finally something to solve and when i did TRY AGAIN LATER. And another 5mins and again TRY AGAIN LATER. Its too much, was gonna play some since have few tickets expiring but now its impossible. Today its the worst it was ever for me.

What Terzic is trying to do here? Worst first half in season [minus Bayern] and he make one change putting old man. Bellingham only at 63 [power struggle who is alpha in the team?], still its 1:0 but Dortmund is completely toothless, cant even watch it. I would make at least three changes if not four at halftime. It will be probably first Dortmund game this season without one corner

It took me 20mins to log in. Usually fire hydrant is the answer but today not even this one can be solved. Then its automatic queries and you need to wait. Then again. Finally buses let me in :D Its little tilting to say the least.

Dont like those zeros in Dortmund game. So far only one team on the pitch. Feels like Dortmund cant be bothered...And i need only some corners And its 1:0. Dortmund checked out of season or is it too soon?

Could be hard to move Salah. Liverpool will not sell to premier league, so i see only PSG/Bayern/Barca. He is earning a bit too much for Barca offering right know, Bayern is burnt by Mane fiasco so its probably PSG. Messi out Salah in maybe. After Africa Nations Cup final he is atrocious is like something broke in him.

Same as with Lakaka. They both are at least two years older. Liverpool 100% knew. Well see against City what Bayern is this year. After PSG, Barca games or Inter i feel like they are the same top three club in Europe, its just they massively fook around in Bundesliga. I feel they are just arrogant [after 11 titles in the row who wouldnt be?] plus they dont have Lewandowski with who they were always up 1:0 before the game. In CL apart from Plzen they are 100% focused and the results are great. Somehow it feels like BVB is dealing with different Moukoko after signing new contract Maybe its his twin or something and real one on vacation.

One trophy gone. Two to go

Im in the opinion we have absolutely top prospects in Europe but our guys due to the Ekstraklasa level are nowhere near ready to be playing abroad and they usually hitting the wall in first season. Even Lewy wasnt ready but he is a workhorse and got lucky that he played under fookin Klopp. Mostly our guys playing under rather average ones. I would say youre certainly paying attention just Bundesliga is now mostly priced out of Ekstraklasa. Take Kaminski case. 11mln for one goal and one assist. The thing is he is playing as a stammspieler so Kovac sees something in him. Either that or Wolfsburg dont wanna admit they throw 11mln away. Dont know what it is, there are glimpses what he can do but as now i would call this transfer a costly bust. Another interesting polish prospect is Kownacki who ended at Fortuna Dusseldorf for 6.75mln [thats bankrupt money for Fortuna] after good loan. He debuted in Poland at 16 and while he wasnt exceptionally good at this age he didnt stick out which in our very physical league is quite a feat. Quickly caught an eye of every top club in Europe but for years somehow no one pull the trigger. Reason is simple, he didnt made progress and he was quite injury prone on top of that. Finally Sampdoria said enough of this and got him for 4mln. He wasnt terrible there, scored a few goals but was mostly a sub and didnt displaced 40ish Quagliarella. Loan to buli Fortuna was ok, he was linking with Lukebakio and he was one of the main reasons they comfortably stayed. After a buy he had terrible next season, no Lukebakio no party and they went down with a bang https://www.transfermarkt.pl/dawid-kownacki/leistungsdaten/spieler/208167/plus/0?saison=2019 LOOL First season in 2buli he scored 7 and next 4 but was so bad that they loan him back to Poland for last 6 months. He was quite good in Poland helping Lech to became champions. Next season he is back and now he is Fortuna's top scorer at 12 goals and 7 assist. He is leaving for free next season with Union one possible destination. Quite the investment isnt it? Did i mention that it was record transfer fee for Fortuna? They have another one loanee Karbownik who was bought for 6mln by Brighton for their loan army. First Olympiakos [didnt play there] and now Fortuna... Brighton also bought 18year old Kozlowski for 10mln and he is now on loan in Vitesse along with Wolfsburg's Bialek [bought for 5mln]... Placheta ended from my Slask in championship Norwich for 3mln. Seen him for whole season and had ONE great game and maybe few good ones. Im fookin certain they didnt observe/scout him and it was someones recommendation or they saw at flashscore he scored 8 goals [many times he scored being invisible whole match] i dont know. He is very fast and thats it. Was used in championship in 26 games scored one goal. In premier league got 14 games only after they were already relegated. Always laughably terrible. Season before he was in our second division and before that in Lipsk u19...Big league too soon. Kapustka after one good game at France Euro with North Ireland![no goal no assist] ended at Leicester for 4mln. Played only in domestic cup then loan to Belgium and now is in Poland at Legia and is mostly average. Kiwior went to Anderlecht juniors then Slovakia then Spezia and the weirdest thing happend Arsenal bought him for 25mln [i still hear laughs in Spezia]. He is good prospect but not 25mln worth or ready for Arsenal as he shown in his debut vs Sporting. I could go on and on, but the stories are virtually the same, we have good prospects that need to work hard. All of those guys were wanted by german clubs at one point or another. In 90s 00s most our guys went to Germany and now its the same with Italy. Next big thing is Michal Skoras. I tell you he's got everything to be top winger but he is so raw. He mix world class passes/shots with blunders that amateurs are ashamed of. If he was to go train under Klopp im pretty sure he could be world class but that never happen so the chance he will made it in Europe are slim. Half of buli clubs are observing him, no Dortmund though

Ekstraklasa still have a team in fookin conferenz league Didnt see there anyone from refugee heaven You're mean to mighty Ekstraklasa where we are one of the last markets that you can afford [not including child trafficking] even if now you mostly lose those guys to little less broke Italy. Who the F. is Brocky I would hire Bruno in my hometowns, Slask Wroclaw. Maybe judging from from history i would not give him 5year contract, but like 1,5 with option or something. We have one coach from Germany who is very successfull now. With group of pretty bad players in Legia [due to idiot owner] he made well organized side thats still in title race [last year they were fighting relegation]. Was linked to Schalke but either he refused or Schalke didnt wanna risk it and went safe with buli proven Kramer. Forgot somehow about this. 3rd and 4th than 9th so Hoeness did similar to that last season. Lets recapitulate: no show in CL with Hoffe in both seasons, deepish run with Leipzig in covid CL, not challenging Bayern in league with Leipzig, being lukeworm in Bayern [again they done him dirty, he should be left till the end of season] This doesnt scream second coming. Bottling at Chelsea and he will be where Villas Boas is [his stocks went to zero after bottling at Tottenham - after that he was linked to most top clubs but only Marseille got desperate for this buffoon] minus job prospects in Russia. Now that i think of it IMO its written in the stars he will be the next Dortmund coach if he bottle at Chelsea.
