You can make that argument if someone comes forward and admits the offence very early and when they have no reason to think they are about to be found out. The issue with Hoeness, I believe, is that there was already some sort of investigation going on into his financial affairs at the point...

I might wear my trainers that have a picture of der Kaiser on them tomorrow in his honour.

You must be a racist to think that...

Boateng. :D

No, I think Pogba's goal was a more natural flight caused by Pogba cutting across the ball and putting spin on it. You could look back and find goals like that from years ago before the current types of ball were introduced. These other goals (like the Hamburg one) are people just hitting...

I wonder at what point the authorities will think things are getting silly with the way the ball flies? A ball shouldn't wobble or dive around like that. Is this still the thing with the balls getting lighter and that allowing the air valve to effectively unbalance the ball? If so, that...

http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/feb/19/thomas-tuchel-mainz-bundesliga-competitive-streak Been saying for a while that the Budesliga's potential for improvement is very limited until the big sides like Hamburg, Stuttgart and Werder Bremen sort themselves out. Teams like Gladbach...

What do Bundesliga-watchers think of Toprak at Leverkusen? Maybe I just happen to catch the games when he plays well, but whenever I see him I think he's got the potential to become a very good player.

My guess was that those seats may be reserved for T-Mobile employees.

Yeah, I know.

In the heart of the European football super club that is Bayern Munich the chairman, former international centre-forward Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, is steadily explaining some finer detail in the story of how they reached where they are today. It is a tale of relentless progression by a member-owned...

:howler:

Didn't think BVB created that many chances. They had a lot of good situations and shots from outside the box and a fair number of balls into the box, but they made relatively few clear chances.

Only two games I've seen this season have been BVB's last two wins, but watching the Bundesliga could be more interesting if a decent number of teams are actually going to make the likes of BVB work to win games this season the way Bremen and Braunschweig have. Makes it much more comparable to...

Reus is a fantastic player and I may well rate him more highly than Gotze, but they are very different players. Reus creates in his own way - mostly through movement and beating men with pace, but that's hard to do against a deep, packed defence. Still think they'll miss Gotze's ability to...

Mkhitaryan played today, but just behind Lewandowski. It'll be Gundogan that takes Sahin's spot.

Don't get me wrong, I think they've signed good players. My issue is that Gotze was really a creative player, and I view Reus, Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan more as finishers rather than really being all that creative, so I see them suffering more in games like the one today - where the opposition...

Thought Sahin was pretty poor, and that really messed up BVB's buildup play for a lot of the game. Gradually they upped the tempo, but it still wasn't terribly convincing. Still not convinced of their choice of players to replace Gotze, but I'll reserve judgement until I see them with either...
