First of all, apologies to all of you for a slow response to this most interesting of weekends. Although I don’t blame the match, I’ve been pretty sick for three days, but trying to make a comeback today.
Clearly, I don’t want to write a match review. I’d simply make two points about the [...]

This is a terrific match for a lazy writer. So many storylines fall right into your lap. For this occasion, I could: a) Talk about how how Felix Magath’s dismissal from Bayern looks like a terrible mistake in retrospect and b) make a very negative indictment of Louis van Gaal by some statistical [...]
Adios, Jose Ernesto Sosa
By: Luke | 6 Comments
The club has confirmed that Jose Ernesto Sosa has been loaned to his old Argentine club Estudiantes de la Plata for the remainder of the season. So begins the pruning of the Bayern roster that Uli Hoeness promised just a couple days ago. With Sosa’s contract in Munich set to expire in 2011, [...]
Robben now out of Freiburg match; Demichelis to catch up on sleep
By: Luke | 2 Comments
Completely invalidating an entire section of yesterday’s entry, Arjen Robben apparently forgot to rub magic spray or Paulaner or whatever miracle salve he was using on his surgically repaired knee and did not make the trip to Freiburg with the team. If nothing else works, he will start bathing in a nice 1985 vintage [...]

I couldn’t be happier that one of my very favorites, the Beautiful Belgian Bull aka Daniel van Buyten, is up for Player of the Week at the Official Bundesliga Website. If you would all do me a big favor and head on over there and vote for Daniel, I would greatly appreciate it. [...]
Preview: FC Bayern Munich vs. 1. FC Nürnberg
By: Luke | 3 Comments
The Bayern-Derby will kick off at 9:30 a.m. EST on Saturday. Those who are really in the spirit can begin drinking at about 6 a.m. EST when Munich Oberbürgermeister Christian Ude (sadly, an 1860 board member) taps the first keg to open Oktoberfest! The match will be shown live on ESPN Deportes and [...]

It’s amazing that a match that was so frustrating to watch for the first half hour or so would turn out to be perhaps even more exciting than last week. Bullet goals, mad dashes, familiar and not so familiar faces on the score sheet, we have everything to be excited about.
*In the most [...]

1) A day later is perhaps a better time to write, letting the euphoria of a skillful, beautiful, exciting victory sink in a little bit. But as fans, we’ve got to try to maintain some balance to things. Just as last weekend should not have sent us looking for a ledge to leap [...]

Bayern’s official website has confirmed the Robben transfer as a fait accompli. Credit to reader jocamryn, who stole a little of my intended thunder, as my original headline was going to be something like “Hoeness touts Robben’s versatility, Dutchman to start in goal Saturday”. Maybe Hoeness just held up a picture of Ludovic [...]

FC Bayern was victorious in their Testspiel in Saxony against Gelb-Weiss Görlitz by the final count of 10:0.

His pro club was happy to repay his loyalty over the years by participating in the [...]
