Wainy316 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Leverkusen leaked 9 goals to a less than great United team and Schalke looked poor in this phase as well. Maybe its too early to say Bundesliga is best in the world I don't think anybody thinks it is ability wise. I think Villa would beat a lot of teams in that league. It's just the the whole ethos and passion and general entertainment value that's making it so popular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Not to mention the rules on ownership, putting the fans first, cheap tickets, great atmosphere, competitive league and more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 not really competitive though when see the money Bayern can splash and I know they have earned it themselves but still not really that fair 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1986 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Monchengladbach as an area didn't really appeal to me I must fight you. It was a Sunday game, the town was dead (we knew this would be the case) the game was fantastic, and we're going back to watch Schalke v BMGB in April. Ground is miles from the centre too.

supernova26 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Leverkusen leaked 9 goals to a less than great United team and Schalke looked poor in this phase as well. Maybe its too early to say Bundesliga is best in the world Indeed. They have the best team in the world though, Bayern..and would have the 2nd best if Bayern didn't keep buying thier players in Dortmund. I just love watching Dortmund play such a 'pretty' creative team going forward...although they've had recent defeats to Bayern and Arsenal in both those matches they created endless chances. Mkhitaryan looks a great buy, Aubameyang gives them some pace when needed...he's very fast! I hope they go far in the CL and smash a few "English" teams on the way.

villa4europe Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 seeing as they are all in the news this week, how good are werner (scholl - could make WC squad) brandt (signing for Leverkusen) and meyer (signed new contract)? I might as well throw in goretzka too, still haven't seen him play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Werder Bremen got blasted 7 nil by Bayern Munich. Is this the year Bremen go down. Bit like us in that for the last few years they've sold their best players like Diego and Marin and the replacements have been substandard and they've been on the fringes last few years.

The_Rev Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Were they ever in it? Even as somebody who hardly follows the league this season looked like it was going to be a precession for Bayern Munich. When they won in Dortmund recently it was all over bar the shouting, results which have happened since are largely academic. I guess that's what happens when one club can just take the other's best player off of them. If Lewandowski goes to Bayern next summer then I think this Dortmund team could break up. Maybe Klopp will feel he has taken them as far as he can and will be open to offers from a certain club from Trafford... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Said it in the other thread, but Bayern basically have the title wrapped up until Pep leaves. The other teams just can't compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers13 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Said it in the other thread, but Bayern basically have the title wrapped up until Pep leaves. The other teams just can't compete. Is it because of pep or because they can take the best players from every team? Even a decent manager could win the league with bayern, the only reason they didn't every other year for a while is cause they were badly run.

GarethRDR Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Doofmund Schalke If it wasn't for the Neverkusen game, we could have had a Nordrhein-Westfalen clean sweep. Fun fact; between them, Max Kruse and Raffael have scored twice as many goals this season as Luuk De Jong has in his Gladbach career to date, with both of them together having cost almost half of De Jong's transfer fee.

BOF Posted December 10, 2013 Moderator Share Posted December 10, 2013 That was a shocking loss and completely threw the form book out the window. That was the first time this season they've failed to score at home. It was their first home defeat of the season. It was their first consecutive defeat of the season. Dusseldorf had lost 4 of their last 5 games. Now we're right back in the mix with the rest of you lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted December 10, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 10, 2013 All. Was hoping some of you can help as i'm not to knowledgeable when it comes to German football. I'm thinknig of getting my dad a ticket to go to a Dortmund game for Christmas. The game I have in mind is Dortmund vs Hoffenheim on the 3rd of May. This will be their last home game of the season. Does anyone know how easy/hard it will be to get tickets for say 6 people? Do they sell out every game or do they generally have tickets available as they have such a big ground? Also - does anyone have experience of getting tickets sent to the UK from them? Or do you have to pick them up there? Any help/advice would be mostly appreciated.
