Locky Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Remember back in May when everyone got into the Bundesliga because it was all we had? Well I'm keeping that ball rolling and shamelessly starting my own thread to keep all you fine *******s clued up and interested in Fussball. Just under half an hour til the new season starts with my Schalke up against it tonight at European champions Bayern, in seek of their own 9IAR. Not confident at all about Schalke's season. Wagner has stayed on for another season to the dismay of many supporters, and a difficult summer of financial difficulty (sound familiar?) has led to some key players leaving. A bit of a shake up in the higher management structure though has saw a few new faces come in the door, although what they will bring to the table is a mystery. One of which is Vedad Ibisevic, a good striker who's been around in the Buli for years now, but is 36. Of course for many, the hope is that Bayern are dethroned. Dortmund and Leipzig are of course the 2 who everyone would expect to run them, but RB have lost Werner and yet to really replace him, while Dortmund are still a pretty young squad, and not even the most optimistic Borussia fans seem convinced that Favre is the man to make Dortmund realise their ambitions. Bielefeld and Stuttgart are back in the top flight at the expense of Dusseldorf and Paderborn, while eyes will be on Werder who narrowly avoided relegation via the play-offs last season. So get the Bratwurst under the grill, get the Erdinger in the fridge, strap on your Lederhosen, and enjoy the campaign ahead. Pröst! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesy1874 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I am also tuning in with the Schalke shirt on display. I can't see bayern not winning the game or league, give them any chances and they take them I rate their squad very highly. If any team is going to beat them to the title its probably going to be Dortmund with the young players gaining more and more experience.

Tazio Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Bayern are one of the most ruthless sides I’ve ever seen, they just keep on going even when the other team are destroyed. And Düsseldorf look like they’re going to continue to be underwhelming, just to piss me off. At least a lot of the losing football last season was good to watch, none of that tonight.

Locky Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 Bayern as ruthless as I thought they'd be. The minute the fixtures came out, I knew we'd take a tanking. One saving grace for BVB fans is many critics feel that Bayern's squad is lacking the depth required to handle a Bundesliga campaign and UCL defence. Long season ahead for Schalke. Reminded me of watching Hearts last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
