Voinjama Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Went to the Allianz Arena last week to see Munich v Kaiserslautern. Just put the pics up on facebook. What an awesome stadium, was sat or should that be stood in the away end with the Kaiserslautern fans letting off their flares. I got in for free but the tickets would of only cost 15 Euros. Compare that to West Ham which cost 3 times more and they are not even in the top division. Was a good game, and the whole football experience in Germany plus the cost is much better. But I have to say English league on the pitch is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaGoMarching Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Gotze and now Kagawa are out for Dortmund, could start to see them struggle, just don't think they have the depth in squad this year to see off Bayern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyscartwright_avfc Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 How long they out for? Just started watching Bundesliga. Kagawa is quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Kagawa is out for two weeks. Not too sure on Götze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Götze's out until approximately mid-to-late March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troglodyte Posted February 18, 2012 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 18, 2012 We've not missed Götze too much so far, but the absence of both him and Shinji could be testing. Mario is certainly someone who can make the difference though, and I think his absence will be felt in bigger games. I agree with VGM about the squad depth, but there is hope that this side could see it through, especially without Europe to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted February 18, 2012 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 18, 2012 I've just noticed that the live Bundesliga table on Sky Sports only has the top 3 qualifying for the Champions League, when I'd heard it was the top 4 from this season. I assume this is just Sky typically not giving a shit/knowing anything about football outside of England, rather than something I've missed?

So I assume Sky do know nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted February 18, 2012 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 18, 2012 No change there then! I often use live.skysports.com to keep up with all the scores on match day, but the formations they put out sometimes must be random. Dortmund are often shown as playing 4-4-2, with Piszczek up front, Hummels at left-back, Kehl in defence, etc (or something similar). Why bother showing the line-up like that if they don't check/know what positions the players play in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaGoMarching Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I do worry about fatigue setting in at Dortmund, Hummels was uncharacteristicly poor at the weekend, Pisczek picked up a knock, and I'm not convinced at Lewendowski playing a deeper role. Especially with Barrios scratching around for form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted February 24, 2012 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 24, 2012 We have been scraping results recently, and Hannover will be tough on Sunday. I'm glad it's on ESPN though - I haven't been able to watch as many matches as last season, they were on practically every week then! Fairly lucky that Bayern are also struggling for form, and Schalke have a decent chance of getting a result there. I expect Gladbach to beat Hamburg tonight but that's by no means a given, either.

BOF Posted February 24, 2012 Moderator Share Posted February 24, 2012 The Munchings of Gladbach are 3/4 to win at home against Hamburg tonight. Usually I put 3 or 4 quid on accumulators but for this .... this I have placed €40 on the single. They've played 11, won 8, drawn 3. If that doesn't become 12-9-3 then I will become Worf levels of 'irritated'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
