Rummenigge:
"They know what to expect on Tuesday. Compared to that match, the match in Dortmund was a pleasant one. We will show that Bayern Munich has a quality at home that kind of resembles hell."
That's fucking hilarious. Making fun of BVB, the thought that Bayern is the best, the hell comparison. It has all, just needs a short line with making fun of Klinsmann and it would be perfect.

I never had a problem with Bla (or mostly anyone here for that matter), not too sure what I did to make him angry at me.

That always bothered me when we got Berbatov. I think we initially offered £27 million but he wanted £30 and by the time the deal was done, the window was over. Baffling.
Just don't feel so vulnerable every time someone from Bayern says something. I ignore Watzke as well. Why you keep reading and listening to all this?
Bravely Default is still £39
Want something to play next week. Zelda it is then.
Both are really good, though I haven't finished BD yet.
Missed the first 6 games of the season too, right? Damn!
What's Lippi up to nowadays, anyway?
He's probably very close to retiring. Went to China for that golden pension money. Don't think he has it in him to manage a big EU club.

He must have only 1 or 2 seasons left in him
Slowed down since January, unacceptable. Bring me the Benz

No but I've been trying hard to make one.
I'm thinking the same thing tbh, there has been a definite change in how we play football this year compared to last year (you can tell if someone watch's Liverpool play when they say Brendans system is possession based, it really isn't anymore).
Mignolet was bought for the long term, we aren't getting a replacement unless someone tries to get him. We'll probably get a goal keeping coach like subtles suggested and try to teach Mignolet how Reina used to release the ball so well and quickly, it would be very useful to have again on the counter attack.
Jones is fine for a back up, he flaps at a few things but I don't want the club to go out of their way to get a replacement.
We'll probably not bother with a recognised DM, Rodgers has had time to buy them and has not tried to strengthen that area. A more likely option is a defensive minded CM, someone like Lars Bender.
The RB and CB are just dependent on who leaves. Right now Johnson will have a year left on his deal this summer so we could cash in and get a replacement since his performances seem to be really inconsistent over the 90 minutes.
We'll buy a LB and LW this summer, it's our prime targets.

Can't wait for Ush to buy the club. Until then, we're stuck with him.
Oh. That's where he is.
It'll be interesting to see him and Liverpool in the CL next season. Football has never been more exciting from a neutral's perspective.

I randomly saw it posted and I just find it pretty funny.
He could have just said "We'll give them the hardest challenge of this season" or something, which would be fine. But yet he comes up with BVB again :lol
Lippi is semi-retired now
China my friend! Gave his team the league title and the Asians Champions League title too ;D
Really? Did he lose his spark or something? What was the last European club he managed?
You lot can help make it happen. Jose pls
Hitcher pls. At Anfied we can field our best XI and with LFC's current form we may still lose
Just imagine this - even if Chelsea WIN at Anfield, Liverpool still have to lose a another game whilst Chelsea win the other two. With Chelsea's recent form, and Liverpool's killer form, it is not happening. I'll be watching the Liverpool match under the covers Because Dortmund gave Real the biggest beating this season. You shouldnt take his narrative as an offence, in this case more as a compliment.
Shaw is done m8 #IAMITK
Well. You just played them and beat them in a great way. I'm sure Bayern would do everything to show a performance like you did. But we don't have the heart for something right now. You had a great spirit on that day.
Aye, one wonders how the SAS will do against the CL big boys.

Apparently, if rumors are to be believed, Chelsea did not want to both paying the money that United were willing to pay (£30m for the player with £100,000 weekly wages).
To be honest neither of our clubs should pay such a fee for a teenager with a lot of promise.
Definitely! Liverpool will reportedly buy plenty this summer, hence they will be equipped well for the CL. I don't see why they can't go far in the CL either.
Sad to hear, he was huge.
Giuve, then Italy.
Well, he's 66 already. I think this was his plan all along. Probably can't wait to get back to Viareggio and enjoy retirement, sailing up and down the coast.

If Mig can be improved then thats fine, Jones is good. As for Johnson, really dont rate him tbh. A DM is needed imo as Lucas is very iffy at times, that free kick for Norwich >.>. Even our main CBs tend to make mistakes, I think we need a new WC CB, not completely sold on Sakho yet.

I didn't take this as an offence at all.
Didn't know that we gave them the biggest loss this season, though. Well, why would I care anyway.

I don't think both will play up front past the group stages, if we get that far. Not sure which one would drop into the wide forward role though, Sturridge did it a few times in February, but Suarez is theoretically more suited to the role.
Does anyone in the CL play 2 bona fide strikers? Atletico sometimes, Man Utd, City. Who else?
I also think it is to our advantage that we're so close to la decima. Bayern completely ripped the football world apart last year after the losing the CL final 2012 to Chelsea in Munich. The key here is that hunger that is that essential drive. We haven't won the Champions League in 12 years, so there's nothing more we want to win this year than that. Hunger leaves no place for complacency.
Had it not been for la decima, I think we would of been out by now.
Don't worry. You can mock us all you want after you gave us a beating in Berlin. Your time will come, Milch. You're time ... will come.
Yep! I mean, La Decima was always around but by buying anoter brilliant player like Bale the dream became way more realistic. Something like a loss (Bayern 2012) or La Decima can bring a team to a whole new level.
Would love to see him give Juve one more good go after Conte (if Conte left).
Don't worry Scum, rumors will drive you crazy if you put much stock in them. Best to wait for an official confirmation.

Go from 2nd to 7th in one year
Bottom out between 6th and 8th for 4 years
Go from 7th to 3rd (at least) in one year
What the fuck is going on? avaya probably has some idea

I'd rather we went for someone like Montella or a foreign manager if Conte left, but if the alternatives are the likes of Allegri and Moyes, then sure, Lippi tutta la vita.
I'll be a bit disappointed if Johnson gets another season. He's so inconsistent, and he seems to be having far more bad days than good recently.
I'd rather even have Flanagan as first choice RB next season. Yes he's limited, but you know what you're getting every game from him, and can effectively plan around that.

I agree with this, I've never really rated Johnson.
Thing is, I can see Levy appointing him. But I don't want him and I think Moyes should consider waiting a few months before getting another job. He'll probably end up getting sacked by Levy in Nov.
After reading this, I chuckled. Why? 'cos I realised how much most of all the we've been talking about the last few days links straight back to Moyes, one way or another. His sacking really has kicked off football/transfer muppetry!
