I am disappointed in the coverage that they’ve been providing on Gol as of late. At least I know where to find the games streaming.

Jan: We’re trying to get answers from them on why they’re not showing the game, but it’s not going very well. They often respond with we’re sorry you’re frustrated and give some vague answer about providing the best Bundesliga coverage without ever answering your questions. It’s very disappointing.

You are right, maybe we’re not happy fans of FCB anymore but this teams makes the blood in our veins as red is it can be. I have full faith in my team whether they play with the first squad or junior squad. When Bayern loses or draws it makes me realize that they’re not superheroes and failure is part of human nature, yet the best part in Bayern spirit and German football in general is that they’re so stubborn and they eventually fight back and stand up for the job. That’s what makes me really proud of my team.

Now that we have Ribery back we need van Bommel and Altintop (damn injury will lay him off till christmas!) and when we do have them back all other teams shall be afraid.

is there a little power game going on between you and GolTV? No Bayern game in their schedule for the second week running…

You all read about the UEFA Cup match fixing allegations? I hardly think that FCB would have gone down 5:1 if they had a choice. Seriously. The rangers have been implcated in the Finale as well. WHo knows let’s hope it was just someone talking out of their tush.

I’m impressed with Breno over the past 2 weeks. He has a bright future ahead of him as long as he keeps his temper in check.

Oddl, I’m sold, he’s got footwork and can cross a ball very competently.

My favorite, Lahm, he’s really become consistent. I’m happy with his play and he’s really put on the pressure in attack. Oddl up one side and him on the other is a real threat that we need to exploit. Hopefully Oddle remains in the lineup while lell spends some time growing up.

I can’t wait to get back home and watch the games among real fans in the “Premiere” Sports bar nearby.

We could all use some time in Garmisch or whatever American mountains you escaped too, hmm?

I can’t really do an analysis-type of post, since I saw about 10 minutes of the Lyon match, and my feed dropped during the goal in the Hannover match. GOLTV is just about dead to me.

I will say this about the Hannover match–matches like that happen. Bayern was not terrible that day. The goal scored on them was legitimate and fortunate. It was just really, really bad timing to have that type of match. There was a similar one in Frankfurt 2 seasons ago, on St. Patrick’s day I believe, and that was also a loss we really didn’t need at that moment.

I really liked the lineup that took the field against Lyon. I’m excited about Breno and Lucio working together, but I don’t know how much tension that will create with Demichelis going forward. I do think that Demichelis essentially playing in Van Bommel’s place will be effective in Europe. Maybe Mark will see more action in the Bundesliga matches, as Klinsmann seems intent on some form of rotation.

The club has got to slog through and pick up the points over the next few weeks, even if they are ugly matches. We should not struggle with opponents like Bochum at home, and there’s no reason to think we will. Despite all the bad results, there’s no reason to think we can’t be in the top 3 by the time we visit Schalke.
