FC Bayern vs Schalke 04: The Search For a Non-Stereotypical Storyline

By: Luke | Comments 14 Comments

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 [...]

A quick look backward and a quick look ahead to Pokal Wednesday

By: Luke | Comments 6 Comments

Got caught in a time bind here, but I did want to flesh out a few thoughts related to Saturday’s match before getting into all the other news floating around. So, here are 5 quick hits from Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Frankfurt.
1) I looked at Frankfurt’s goal about 7 times on replay, and [...]

Robben now out of Freiburg match; Demichelis to catch up on sleep

By: Luke | Comments 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 [...]

10 thoughts after #10’s day in the sun

By: Luke | Comments 12 Comments

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 [...]

News and Notes 8-7-09

By: Luke | Comments 13 Comments

Just as Louis van Gaal was settling upon a roster, injuries have forced some last minute juggling. The big news was the ruptured ankle ligaments suffered by Martin Demichelis. A six to seven week recovery time is the early prognosis. We will find out early on if management has made the right moves [...]

Bayern Rundown

By: Angela | Comments 9 Comments

01. Mario Gomez inks the deal to move to Bayern and subsequently ends his 829 minutes of goal-less game play. My guess is this was the weight being lifted off his shoulders and the promise of some kind of a future. I am still somewhat on the fence about this because I’m [...]

Poldi likely to head to Cologne

By: Angela | Comments 13 Comments

Shocking isn’t it? At least after the love affair that Bayern has had with him. By that I mean, clinging to him like the psycho ex girlfriend even though it was toxic to both parties. The news could come as early as Tuesday. Uli Hoeness has already met with Michael Meier [...]

Ribery not for sale

By: Angela | Comments 13 Comments

“We know what kind of player we have in Franck Ribery. I can reassure the fans: There is no sum in the world that would prompt us to think about it. Absolutely none. The board agrees: Franck Ribery has a contract until at least 2011 – he is not for sale.” Those are [...]

Transfer Rumors

By: Angela | Comments 22 Comments

Angela is not a happy camper. I will have to start boycotting Bayern I just know it. The hottest transfer rumors right now are that both my guys, van Buyten and van Bommel, will be out at the end of the season. PSV and Schalke both have been linked with van Bommel. [...]
