Do we just assume that bayer keeps going from where they left last
season? Or are they just a one season wonder? I think the team is good
enough to win it again this season, though i dont like what J-Nag did to
Wirtz at the Euros. Nice little kinda derby for a Friday night kick off
match. Based on the Super Cup, tis will be a late goal winner for Bayer.

Red Bull is hated and seen as this fake club that will spoil the purity
of the Bundesliga with its ill gotten money and lack of fan ownership,
yet they are really a selling team, All the players they have sold over
the last 5 years would make a title contender team.

They are mad at him again? Small newly promoted teams always win the

Bayern are signing Englishmen, so you know they are going to fail again.
Ther is an old rule in football and it goes something like "You will
never win a cup with Englishmen". And it is true. England will never
win a cup, because of all the Englishmen playing.

I was watching a really bad tv show about Pimps and the Reeperbahn,

Last year's table:

10. Freiburg 42

12. Wolfsburg 37

So I'm making things up when I say that the Burgs are indistinguishable?

Anyway, Werder was better. 1-2

I like St. Pauli, it reminds me that HSV is still in the 2.Bundesliga
(BWAHAHAHA!). But I like Heidenheim more, as they contributed to them
staying there. 1-2

Also from last year's table:

7. Hoffenheim 46
8. Heidenheim 42

The Heims are also indistinguishable

I just dont get why J_nag didnt start Wirtz at the Euros? I would fire
him for that alone. It is not a hard job to pick the right players,
especially when Germany had no other good players.
But anyway, Wirtz has scored a gaol and bayer lead 2-0 at the half.
BMG had a goal called back, by the VARobots, the robots get it right
about 50% of the time. Xaka Kahn scores a trademark goal of his and
Wirtz with the other and Bayer will not need late game heroics to win this.

Though good performance by the fans of BMG for a summer friday night
match when they could instead be sailing or camping or water skiing or
doing other stuff than sitting in a stadium.

Except they did. And everyting the gypsy said is true. Wirtz is a wizard.
