Sunday will be fun. I'll be slinging shit at all the Man United fans here if we beat them and I'll probably still sling shit at them if we don't beat them.
then the Clasico..... yeah, you know how that will go...

But I can see it now
I love it when the fixture lists throw up an amazing weekend. Pretty poor PL weekend though
Looking forward to the clasico.

Clasicos make the best threads. The Liverpool-Man Utd game had its share of controversy, and that will look like friendly compared to the Clasico, even if its a 0-0 played out in the centre-circle
@Blablurn, her schtick and internet fandom is undoubtedly annoying
quirky quirky happy happy kooky kooky
She's cute. End of discussion.

You were going to say 'what a cunningly manafactured image she has,' right?
No Puyol. Busquets, Mascherano and Fabregas playing. A fit Pepe. And Ronaldo with six goals in his last two game.
There Will Be Shit
yeah, thankfully they shifted the focus of New Girl away from her. It's a pretty standard but awesome "Friends" sitcom now.
She's also the second best looking female on the show.

/had to do some stuff
Playing for Bayern
+ wage, potentially around 1,5x to 2x more dough - much less of a difference for talents though
+ as someone mentioned, easier entry to the national team (the German national team) - it does somewhat depend on the current national manager, but the odds are mostly in favor of the Bayern players
+ Munich is a better city than Dortmund in most respects, however, if you account for the respective metropolitan areas: Dortmund > Munich, easily.
- as a talented player you gamble with your career when you go there because a lot of very talented players pissed away their career or had lost years in there (latest example: Usami)
- the environment is volatile and depending on the current manager you can get shafted very fast and you also have to build a relationship to the upper management because then you can basically become more powerful then the current manager, lol It's always those Munich-born players that ahieve that status - if you don't have that Hoeneß-Weißwurst-Bonus, you're more likely to fall out of favor
- the media is focused on you 24/7 and you have to put up with eccentric assholes in upper management and among your colleagues because there is no vetting for character in Bayern

You know, I don't even mind most FootyGaf wars (Pool/UTD, City/UTD, Madrid/Barca). They are usually done in good spirit, and this is a forum after all. There just seems to be more petty vitriol and venom between Dortmund/Bayern fans. It gets tiresome.
lol, srsly?
More vitriol than Pool/Utd?
Dude, where have you been for the last 3 weeks/decades?
Edit: Yeah, I'm talking about the rivalry, not the GAF wars. They're fine.

Yo. I'm live streaming the Gaf Pro Clubs! I'm doing it at www.livestream.com/problematicgamer
It won't be as good quality as yesterday.

Oh, I wasn't making a prediction on the outcome of the game. Only that shit will fly no matter what. A Pepe drop toe hold on Fabregas in mid field would be nice.
That's actually a pretty good summary. You might add that while it's a volatile environment, you well get paid in Munich no matter what, they wont try to get rid of you if you dont want to leave (Dortmund doesnt either to be fair).
+/- if you play in Munich you have to come to terms with BILD, if a player feeds them information everything is fine and he'll be hyped up. Otherwise things can go downhill very fast.
+/- You will win some titles, but instead of "winning" the title, it will feel more like you didnt lose it.

We had heated debates, nothing vitriolic though as far as I remember
Also, Meier looks awesome, like a rugged Rivers Cuomo

lol my bad. I just had a litre of mountain dew Im edgy.
Jackson Martinez looks absolutely beastly. Teo Gutierrez has been good but Id throw Jackson in there against Paraguay.
lol Im like Wooden talking about Copenhagen!

I can't wait for Clasico.
I hope there are some REALLY dodgy decisions in that match too.

Only match in the world where you actively want it to be ruined by the referee? As long as its not ruined by red cards and the like
Real España for life.
Haha, I'll take it. My fiancee loves Weezer (well.. did at least, does anyone still love them?) -- I wonder if that played a role?

I don't mind reds either as long as they're in the second half. Preferably latter stages.
I hope there a really obv penalty turned down or a generous one given. And I hope Busquets falls to the floor when Ronaldo inhales before his free kicks and claims Ronaldo did it on purpose to release a draught toward Biscuits which hurt his face.
Then we can invoke UNICEF.

What's the big deal anyways? We're well within the scope of this thread. Just use the ignore function if you dislike it.
I have an older Braun too, lol

I was just mocking severin's name, kinda..
I agree, but what about Breno? Seems like you've put him under so much pressure to perform or gtfo that he lost his marbles. And what about offloading Lucio & van Bommelmütze? I guess Bayern is not exempt from that :O

What else is different about Americans: most drink tap water (if not cola & co.) without hesitation while we in Europe feel like tap water is some sort of diarrhea. Pretty dumb & environmentally irresponsible on our part..

Their kit is spectacular. I love the bee mascot too.
Hitcher opening up a lead on me. damn son
---lol wut? we dont drink tap water at all lol. If anything we consume bottled water way too much. I recycle tho
Our starting team tonight is: Lloris, Walker, Dawson (c), Caulker, Vertonghen, Huddlestone, Dembele, Dempsey, Lennon, Bale and Defoe
And our subs: Cudicini, Gallas, Sandro, Townsend, Falque, Mason and Sigurdsson.
No fucking around from AVB. Let's put this shower to the sword and bang in some goals.
