Bayern friends I can see the light

just read Nagelmann's interview about Bayern. hopefully, ancelotti's gone next summer and we will have our saviour

The way this interview is done and the time of release really made me sad for Carlo. Looks like Honess tries to force things now and even fight Rummenigge who is Carlos supporter. Anyway, what happens with Carlo in German media is terrible and he doesn't deserve it. Players like Neuer, Müller and Lewandowski are way too powerful with their lobbies, but on the other hand they had the kingslayer himself as mentor, Philipp Lahm.

Vied for a tag related to cocks, so here it is.
Hmmm so if I could pick 2 games to watch tonight. Which ones do I go with?

I think Barcelona - Juventus is a given.

I'm thinking Barca - Juve tonight, but interested to see how Celtic - PSG will go. Damn good night of football.

Sorry for the out of nowhere question, but does anyone know if anyone/who has the US radio rights for the BPL?

A couple years ago, TalkSport had partnered with WestwoodOne iirc. That deal ended. Last year I was able to grab the EON feed through TuneIn but that doesn't seem to work now.

Thanks all!

Talksport and bbc serve over internet radio, is that blocked?

Yeah. I can get both at any other time than during their live commentary. Prior to this the only blackouts that existed prior were the Champions League games. Now it's across the board. Not a huge deal but I'm typically on the road Saturday mornings and that was my go to for the longest time.

Sounding like a VPN would be the best option I'd guess?
 
I'm glad there's a League Cup match sandwiched between the 2 PL games so he won't miss too many PL games. So need to manage Burnley and Leicester without Mané, guess now it's a perfect time for Coutinho to redeem himself.

Cheers, Lash. Finger on the pulse as always!

Mane's fucked. He's not getting back into the side now THE OX will get his chance to shine.

I saw it had been posted, but thought it'd be funny to use skysports tweet as a breaking news post, despite the news being broke ages ago

Wait, they appealed the ban? 😂😂😂

Which Gaffer here works for Liverpool?
 
lol
never heard from this guy but do you want to know the 'tactics' from the best manager of the world?

I wonder why we lost

lmao, and jack was saying how great it is that bayern implements crosses several pages back. It also makes no sense to have so many crosses esp when Carlo wants to play a system with 3 8s, or 2 8s and James since none of them are great headers. At least when you had Muller as a SS, you constantly had two strikers making runs in the box.

I don't have too many issues with Carlo tbh, but the signing of James completely rubs me the wrong way. Club completely lost the plot on that end.

Nah, it'll be a close game imo

I hope so here lol. I would even take a draw actually. We are crippled by tons of injuries right now and many of newcomers haven't even been given chance to play yet lol.

I also heard that Messi is currently having the form of his life right?

The 3 games isn't tied to whether it was intentional or not though.

No but I think the 3 games is tied to aggression of the incident or whatever.
They had somewhat of a point when a player has been sent off and banned for 3 games when 2 other players have had their boot at face level this weekend (one making solid contact) and there's not so much as a yellow card.

I'm very vocal when it comes to Bayern and let my feelings get the best of me. I'm giving ancelotti too much shit but we regressed when it comes to tactics and match plan.
this is van gaal 2011 bad.
it just needs van buyten upfront

If Ancelotti is gone next season, who is the best choice to take over him??? �� Or rather who would ya like to see

see last page: Nagelsmann.
although there is a big hype about him, I think he is someone we need for our transition phase. he showed that he can work with young players and he showed he can adjust his matchplan against other teams on the go. something I haven't seen ancelotti doing once.
pep knew exactly during a game where is mistakes were and what he had to change. unfortunately he was an asshole but that's another story

I think I will watch Bayern and PSG games in split screen and United - Basel on TV (forced by the choices of TV stations).


I'm afraid that Barca - Juve will be too one-sided with the current form of Juventus and Barca's hunger for results.
