http://bayern.theoffside.com News from Bayern Munich German football team Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:25:50 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I've taken a little break for the international week, but events certainly have not, and with the possibility of a full scale revolt on our hands after this weekend, the first thing I want to do here is a little news roundup. File under: Malcontents Uli Hoeness' unsurprising response to Phillipp ... http://bayern.theoffside.com/team-news/what-a-difference-an-n-makes.html From the club's website: FC Bayern Munich has reacted with distress and shock to the news of the death of Germany international goalkeeper Robert Enke (32) on the evening of Tuesday 10 November 2009. We, the board of directors, officials, players and members of the club greatly mourn the loss of Robert ... http://bayern.theoffside.com/1-bundesliga/in-memoriam-robert-enke.html 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 ... http://bayern.theoffside.com/team-news/hooray-for-fc-hollywood.html 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 ... http://bayern.theoffside.com/1-bundesliga/fc-bayern-vs-schalke-04-the-search-for-a-non-stereotypical-storyline.html I don't think the match requires a whole lot of analysis. Those of you who'd like to engage in that sort of thing are welcome to do some in the comments, but I'm going to refrain from it here. I've been more hesitant than most to indict this ... http://bayern.theoffside.com/champions-league/tuesday-abomination.html Sorry to say, that I simply don't have the time to properly preview this critical Champions League match. We'll have to dispense with the liveblog for this one as well, although I will be watching. We'll hope to have a recap posting up not long after the match. ... http://bayern.theoffside.com/champions-league/bayern-vs-bordeaux-a-very-quick-preview.html VfB Stuttgart vs FC Bayern Munich http://bayern.theoffside.com/team-news/vfb-stuttgart-vs-fc-bayern-munich-liveblog.html Once again, Bayern Munich goes into an away match against a familiar opponent that has its back against the wall. That would be VfB Stuttgart of course, and it makes for a little more of a dramatic storyline that Stuttgart's coach is long time Bayern defender Markus Babbel. ... http://bayern.theoffside.com/team-news/the-trial-of-markus-babbel.html 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 ... http://bayern.theoffside.com/team-news/adios-jose-ernesto-sosa.html Bayern fans have done their fair share of head-scratching lately. We assemble a squad of forwards that is the envy of everyone, and yet we can't score goals. We very slowly nurse players back from injury with the goal of having them ready to contribute right away following ... http://bayern.theoffside.com/fc-bayern-munich/on-the-couch-in-frankfurt.html
