Bayern München are overrated (überschätzt)

[Blue_Tires]

and are about to get what's coming to them...You heard it here first...

1. I'm quoting poker player Phil Hellmuth,"I guess if there weren't luck involved, I'd win every time."

The first football chant every German child learns is the Freudian 'Zieht den Bayern die Lederhosen aus': 'Pull down the Bavarians’ lederhosen'

2. They're worse under Pep

Even though the squad ought to be stronger. Guardiola Out!

I'm sorry I stayed home for it. Even more so for staying in for yesterday's semi-final, of course. If the second legs are fantastic next week, you'll know I wasn't watching them. I have that power.

3. You're a Man Utd supporter, aren't you?

[Blue_Tires]

4. Never in a million years

Not even when I play FIFA on playstation...So save the little meme graphic for someone else...

5. Then why the hate for Bayern?

[Blue_Tires]

7. That's like asking me why I hate the Yankees...

(And I don't really hate Bayern that much, I just thought they were due for a fall)

For the record, in deference to a certain DUer, the Bundesliga team I support is Ein. Frankfurt...

12. They've ruined the Bundesliga, doncha know?

Remember the time they forced Dortmund to reject their offer for Robert Lewandowski? Or the time they weakened Leverkusen by loaning that bum Toni Kroos out to them (all he did was help Leverkusen to the DFB Pokal Final)? I remember the time that Big Bad Bayern really screwed the Bundesliga by selling Mats Hummels to Dortmund, man that one really hurt Bayern's rivals! These are just the player transfers that have hurt the league, I haven't even mentioned the times they gave Dortmund, St. Pauli, and 1860 Munich enough money to prevent all these teams going bankrupt!

It's not just the Bundesliga they've ruined, either! Why, just last year they ruined Passau by playing a charity friendly in the city and giving all the money raised to area flood victims! Heartless bastards, Bayern!

See, there are plenty of reasons to hate die Roten!

6. Pep made a mistake with the line-up against Real

He should've played Lahm at RB instead of Rafinha and stuck Martinez in midfield with Schweini right from the start. For whatever reason he doesn't seem to fully trust Martinez. For the second leg Ribery needs to be benched, he's been in horrible form for weeks now. Start Muller in his place, and play Kroos or Goetze behind Mandzukic and hope that works out.

11. Dr. Frankenstein has ruined my team....

with his constant, unnecessary tinkering. We were a brilliant team to watch until the tiki taka garbage took root, and then we turned into a gigantic ugly lifeless mass that was easy to beat. It's been brutal to watch.

Pep OUT! Pack ma's!

8. You called it!

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/soccer-real-tear-ragged-bayern-apart-reach-champions-205424020--sow.html

Real Madrid tore apart Bayern Munich's ragged defence apart with a ruthless first-half display as they thrashed the defending champions 4-0 in their own stadium to reach their first Champions League final for 12 years on Tuesday.

"Ragged defence"!!

9. Here's a song for ya...

"Wir würden nie zum FC Bayern München geh'n..."

[Eyerish]

10. Well, in solidarity with my Hubby who's stinging from Today's result...

I support Norwich City so you can't hurt me

[Ron Obvious]

13. "I support Norwich City so you can't hurt me"

C'mon, it's the hope that really kills you. There's still a chance. Arsenal will have safely won the Wenger Cup (4th place) on the final day of the season and will have nothing left to play for when they play Norwich.

Stranger things have happened. It could happen...

[Eyerish]

15. I know you're right Ron....

It's just been a hell of a season. As soon as I read the schedule at the beginning to the season I thought to myself "if they don't secure 40 before those last 4 games, it's going to be an interesting run to the finish." I just wish they had ousted Hughton a bit sooner. I think if they had done it back in Feb/Mar I think they'd be assured a spot next year. Honestly, after Luton Town last season I don't know what the board were thinking keeping him on.
I appreciate the positive thoughts. Cheers!

17. Everybody likes the Canaries!

Especially sports journalists who tell me that they serve the best food there. Not surprising, considering who owns the club.

Good luck!

14. If Norwich go down....

....then that's an excellent away day for us in the Championship (Sheffield Wednesday in my case) to look forward to.

Norwich is a really nice place. Norwich City are a nice club as well.

[Eyerish]

16. I look forward to visiting Carrow Road some day...

I've heard nothing but really nice things about the supporters and the area in general.

As a lover of Owls, I'm always supporting Sheffield Wednesday when I can. I was really rooting for them in the FA.
Cheers!
