Bayern Munich have sensationally announced a plan to refund the price of all tickets sold this season, citing an embarrassing lack of competition on all fronts. Bayern wrapped up the Bundesliga title in early April with a 20-point lead over second-place Borussia Dortmund and just one loss all season. They have also reached the DFB Pokal final and Champions League final, where they will face Dortmund after beating Barcelona by an aggregate score of 7-0 in the semifinals. Now, they will return the money of all fans who attended matches this season.

"This season has already been very successful for us," Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness told reporters. "But it has not been very sporting. When you win most every game by many goals, you must ask if the fans are getting value for their money. And since we do not see supporters as house cats to be milked, we have decided to refund their money for what has turned out to be a season of one-sided exhibitions. After all, no one should have to pay to watch someone play FIFA 13 on amateur difficulty and clearly we do not need their money anyway. I certainly don't want it. I don't pay taxes, so I already have more money than I know what to do with. We are not greedy like the English."

Bundesliga clubs have won widespread praise for their reasonable pricing model and inclusive philosophy — a marked difference from the business-first approach of the Premier League. Though Bayern's unprecedented refund offer takes that reputation to a new level, Hoeness, who had his offer to resign turned down after admitting to tax evasion, remains hopeful that things will be different next season.

"The team we built is simply too good," he continued. "This is why we are bringing in Pep Guardiola next season. Hopefully with a manager less experienced than Jupp Heynckes who cares more about possession than scoring hundreds of goals, there will be closer matches and more drama on the pitch. If not, we will have the players do actual work by cleaning the homes of ticket holders after matches."

Sounds legit.

Say you're Moyes and you're told by theUnited board you can go after one, and only one, of the following as a marquee signing:

Bale, Ronaldo, Lewandowski, Falcao

Who do you pick?

Bale, it's not even difficult. Anyone that goes for Ronnie isn't thinking straight.

 

[Wilbur]

Bale, it's not even difficult. Anyone that goes for Ronnie isn't thinking straight.

This was my thoughts, sentimentality. Hard to see either coming to play for David Moyes though.

loooooooooooooool

No wonder Liverpool think they can plug those goobers for huge amounts of money

 

[faridmon]

On another note, do you guys thunk Moyes has the mental strength to win a PL title?

We are going to find out, aren't we?

We are going to find out, aren't we?

Not until 2016 anyway.

I'm thinking about how talented Rooney is, and how he limits himself from being truly great. He could be so much better than he is, if he focused 100%, worked on his physique and generally played in the same position each week (not his fault).

I actually think he hasn't been happy at United for awhile, and I feel like if he leaves, and sorts this stuff out, United will regret it big time.

This is my feeling as well. I understand that RVP is a better striker than he is but Rooney never played the role of a No9 at all this season. Utd GAF keep saying we should sell and get another player like Falcao or Lewandowski and my question is; do you think any of this player is an implicit improvement over Rooney and are willing to sacrifice themselves as he has in this season and other seasons when we have had to accommodate other strikers? do you think Lewandowski or Falcao would be as effective as they are currently if played in a different position? do you think either can play as a No10? or do you imagine that RVP would then play the role behind the striker? where does that leave Kagawa then? I keep repeating myself but the two seasons in which Rooney has played as the main striker in our team, he managed to score 30+ goals. I get the feeling he is unhappy but all this transfer request bs are unsubstantiated rumor probably as a result of the events of this season and mostly the event of the last 24hrs.

Chelsea needs a CM with a bit of brain, that could have been Alonso but there's also lots of other good options out there.

Agree with you.

Think a player of Alonso's mould is exactly what Chelsea have needed for a couple of years now, and I was surprised they didn't get somebody in last summer instead of blowing the bank on tricky wide players and advanced playmakers.

I also believe there are many players Chelsea could get other than an aged Alonso.

Am I wrong, or did AVB barely fucking react to Ade's screamer ?

If Bale had scored it, he shoots semen into row Z, right ?

Thought he jumped up and mouthed 'wow, wow, wow' whilst ringing his hands about. Unless that was for Sigurddsson's goal.

You're foolishly lashing out at Liverpool with surprising frequency today, even for you.

Must be the Moyes effect.

You could just have re-signed Owen instead of wasting all that money on Kagawa then.

add 10 years to that

Juve have an extra stripe next year, which I like.

But no stars and no scudetto message.

And the away strip is earwax yellow, while the beautiful black away from this year is relegated to third choice.

Kinda disappointing.

It's a let down compared to our away shirt but I'm loving the yellow one!

 

[Arnie]

Hope I'm not DC'ing but Draxler's signed a contract extension. Not that he was a realistic target for Dortmund anyway.

 

[KidA Seven]

You could just have re-signed Owen instead of wasting all that money on Kagawa then.

But then who would you and Arnie be asspained about? De Gea? No way.

 

[LegoArmo]

What if Moyes wins the title in his first year? I have a feeling next year will be Chelsea's year, but that would be some start to your non-shit-team managing career.

You either will think Moyes is the new fergie, or you will agree with me managers don't matter =P

 

[scently]

Say you're Moyes and you're told by theUnited board you can go after one, and only one, of the following as a marquee signing:

Bale, Ronaldo, Lewandowski, Falcao

Who do you pick?

Bale or Ronaldo. Bale might tipped it for me because he is younger and still growing, hasn't reached his prime yet, and quite frankly he is a mini/younger Ronaldo really. Ronaldo is at his prime though and you would have to accommodate him in his entirety, which might mean other players adapting/doing some extra work.

 

[rvy]

FUCKING LEGEND.

 

[Messi]

This was my thoughts, sentimentality. Hard to see either coming to play for David Moyes though.

I feel fergie going killed the slim hopes of Ronaldo coming back

 

[Wilbur]

You either will think Moyes is the new fergie, or you will agree with me managers don't matter =P

The reason Manchester United may be able to win the title in Moyes' first year would be a combination of good work by Moyes and good work laid down by Fergie... two managers.

 

[faridmon]

AVB is one cool fella. So Slick!

 

[Hindle]

We are going to find out, aren't we?

We are at that. I don't think he does tbh. If he would have gotten Everton in the CL this year then yea I'd have said he's up for it. But him and his team bottled it so I'm doubtful.

 

[Arnie]

That's the one.

I give him stick but his celebrations are always a treat. Unless they're against your club in which case you want to put him in a box and ship him to North Korea.

Bottled it? Really? His Everton side against the Manchesters, Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs? Hardly bottling it.

Fair point. He managed to compete against quite a lot of those teams though and still they didn't qualify.

I am seriously considering a career in writing football articles (alongside commentary, punditry, studio analyses, etc) - is there such a career for a person who is NOT a former football legend?

Also, I am really into writing but I'm not sure how to improve! Whenever I read articles out there I am astounded by the amazing use of vocabulary that makes the article far more fun to read but I am not sure how to get better at it myself.

Does it come from simply practicing and learning new words along the way?

Basically without wanting to bore people again, I know I'm a good writer; I've been nominated for an award when I was 14, I've been published on a few websites, I've never ever failed an essay or an exam up until yesterday, I'm continuously getting 2:1s, I was one of only seven people in my year group across the country to get 100% on my GCSE English Lit paper (or so my English teacher told me!)

The problem is my extreme laziness coupled with disinterest in the module. It's boring, I hate it and because of that I didn't try, I didn't revise, I didn't do anything about it except start it six hours before it had to be in.

You could always start writing a blog and start from it. I am currently writing a blog about Indie Music and I have to say, I have improved dramatcally in the past few years or so. The thing with blogging is that it improves your organisational skills when it comes to putting your thoughts into words. I can see that you do write a lot, and with a little writing here and there, I think you should be just fine!
