oh no! not for me anyway. i can now watch more live games! these days i get a chance to pick and choose from 6 live game slots whereas originally it was 1, then 2, then 3....

the open matchdays give me the chance to see teams other than bayern. because if all games happen at once i’ll watch bayern. but now... i saw 3 games this weekend (could have seen 4 if i wanted) and enjoyed a look at the whole table. the most fun actually was leipzig-koln because koln is fighting relegation and leipzig was going for 2nd place and blam, ha ha ha.

guess i can always go to watching just 1 per weekend as an option but it’s nice to have the choice of more

It's an ongoing debate. Something a fan said to West Ham's owner was he cares more about West Ham fans in China than those in London. He's not wrong but that's the sport now. It's a battle that's simply lost now. But some fans want to 'keep it real' while also expecting mega million transfers each season. It's not a part of the protest I'm interested in. For me it's the fact the owners promised fans, players, Bilic and Moyes significant transfer budgets that never transpire. I can handle corporate but not the constant sense of being taken for a fool by a dwarf in a Stasi outfit.

!@#$%! · 02.26.2018, 04:29 PM

yeah the competition is real and it’s global. no big money for big hires without international audiences. gotta get the chinese to get your player.

the salami schedule in germany was further sliced after your tv deal i believe.

i just watched the end of the dortmund-augsburg game. being a monday i couldn’t handle the whole enchilada. but the last 20 minutes were both exciting and frustrating— #10 augsburg managed to tie 1-1 vs dortmund who is now the sole 2nd place (by a point instead of 3 like they wanted). lots of upsets at the bundesliga this weekend— bayern tied and nobody really profited from their reduced advantage. a conspiracy theory would read some orchestration by the bavarian illuminati of course.

anyway the dortmund goal was a nice reus-gotze play. it’s like 2012 or something!

forgot to say (got accidentally deleted) that i think only savage clone here would march for sartorial causes, though i fear (i really don’t know) he might be in the countermarch opposing yours. i feel as if he might approve of that outfit.

!@#$%! · 03.03.2018, 11:33 AM

just saw a lively schalke 1 hertha berlin 0 game that wasn’t great but wasn’t bad either.

the real contest today comes in an hour: dortmund vs. rb leipzig. and the dortmund fans will NOT be attending in protest ha ha ha.

good shit, this league. might not have mourinho interviews but it’s still got a bit of drama.

demonrail666 · 03.03.2018, 01:12 PM

West Ham destroyed 4-1 in a 6 pointer against Swansea. Officially worried.

!@#$%! · 03.03.2018, 01:23 PM

^^ o man, sorry to hear, and in the middle of this whole mess

—

if you need some entertainment to forget your troubles, the dortmund-leipzig game is highly entertaining so far

dortmund using the same counterattack tools as rb got 2 goals annulled due to offsides. ouch!

then schurrle loses the ball stupidly fucking leipzig scores (beautifully) and dortmund looks desperate.

then near the end of halftime reus scores for dortmund and blam, 1-1.

i’d say dortmund dominated this half but rb is always deadly and can’t be repressed. looking forward to the 2nd half!

Yeah, it's a mess. Everton fans are shitting themselves saying that we're going down. I know that the state of the premier league is that bad they'll be ok. Worst thing is Everton play West Ham in the alst game of the season.

Southampton, Palace and Stoke are your saving graces for you at the moment. Really hope you manage to do it.

h8kurdt · 03.03.2018, 01:56 PM

In other news its Napoli/Roma. Big game for Napoli to keep that top place. Cos wants Juventus to win again, really?

!@#$%! · 03.03.2018, 02:24 PM

ended 1-1 but damn damn damn was exciting till the end though

now schalke is in 2nd place dortmund 3rd frankfurt 4th by goal difference

I really thought Everton and WH were looking safe but they're both back in the relegation battle now, especially as 'worse' teams keep picking up points. I quietly think both teams will just survive but it'll be close, although hopefully not down to that final game.

Lots of fan unrest. The march planned for next week has been called off due to splits between different supporter groups. All a bit Monty Python really.

Would it be fair to say that every team in the Prem currently under 5th Place (Chelsea) is basically terrible?

!@#$%! · 03.05.2018, 03:38 PM

demonrail666 · 03.05.2018, 04:33 PM

Add Manchester United to that list. They just beat Crystal Palace "epically" at Selhurst Park (from 0-2 to 3-2 in injury time), but they're playing like shit.

Alexis went from the frying pan into the fire.

I really think Jose's burnt out. His teams always irritated me but never in the way they do now. Whatever else you could say about a Mourinho team, you could never call them half-hearted. But that's exactly what this MU are. I really think the way it ended at Real and then Chelsea really knocked it out of him. Plus the fact Pep's doing so well.
