Hopefully Villa will fight back for their own self respect.I have a feeling RVP's second goal made several Villa players question whether they were in the right profession.
Bundesliga is even worse... at least i makes Klopps last year's remark about how in 10 year people will look back at Dortmund's record season... one year later the record is already gone
this year sure seems to be the year of the lopsided leagues in Europe ...
Talk tonight that Mario Götze is Bayern Munich bound word is that they've activated the release clause in his contract.
Unsurprising if true. He was already mouthing off about his interest in other clubs a week or so ago. Of course he maintained that he was still very happy at Dortmund...which is why he is signing for Bayern ASAP as supporting evidence for the prior-claimed contentment.
Woah, didn't see that coming. Incredible ugly move from Munich to leak such news right now. Just incredible. And that ***** *** Hoeneß is laughing his fat *** off! Man, that ruined the day for me.
Oh, and I can understand all the hate against City, Chelsea, probably Udt and so, but having ONLY ONE team in your league spending cash like there is no tomorrow...that's sooo freakin' annoying!

It's St George's Day, the day of the rumoured launch of the new Nike England kits... we'll see. 
RvP hat trick was sheer magic, and he also defended too. and better than most Dutch defenders do.
He had a quote of "Radio Rijnmond" this is why I went to Manchester United.

Wolves have also launched their new Puma kits today. Shame they'll probably be wearing them in the third division.
No official word on our polyester rags for next season yet, other than that they'll be made by Adidas. I've heard though that Cash Converters wish to take up the option of a third year of sponsorship.Wolves have also launched their new Puma kits today.

It is childish...Shinji one, Gerrard nil, Shinji one, Gerrard nil, Shinji one, Gerrard nil, Shinji one, Gerrard nil.
Transfer - a Dortmund v Munich final = own goals?
Jaffa Cake,
The sponsor could be worse; Cash Lady with a big picture of Kerry Katona's face on the front.
Cheers,
OW

i like the kit in the middle.
That's the home kit.
I like it too, it's the nicest one we've had since we moved from Puma about 10 years ago.
I'm guessing the two thin stripes from the collar is going to be Puma's 'thing' this season...
Gladbach fans very likely felt the same last year when Dortmund used the 17m Reus release clause
Götze said last year that he would very like "working with a coach like Guardiola sometime" so it was very likely a chance for both sides ... and i suspect Sammer played a big role in this deal
meanwhile though Bayern's attacking roster is overcroweded so i suspect that 1-2 players will leave in the summer (Robben ?)
Agree, Robben has to go. And off course weren't Gladbach fans amused, but to announce such a fact one day before one of the most important games since a decade...I mean of course it's business and they don't have to do it the friendly way. But especially Bayern often suggest as if they're the last gentlemen in this game.
And yeah, Bayern got Dante from Gladbach that year, too. It was announced (IIRC) shortly before those two teams played against each other in the cup, Dante missed the penalty back then.
And Götze said a lot during the last weeks, too. Most of it proved wrong.
But I don't care as long as Barca brings them back into reality. Fingers crossed.
It is interesting to note the distinct lack of protests coming from Man Utd supporters these days...the Anti-Glazer crowd is nowhere to be seen. I say this not to take a dig at Man Utd fans so much as to note how far winning things goes towards making people forget about everything else.
More and more it looks like the Glazers have weathered the storm and it's all smooth sailing - until Ferg retires.
They really do flaunt their wealth. The Bundesliga is generally cited as the best-run league in Europe by a mile, and yet they still have one big fat bloated overdog of a team on top.
If another sponsor shows up with a better deal, are Hull City still bound to stick with Cash Converters? Maybe someone else will be lured by the prospect of advertising in the Premier League.

I really hope and pray that they drop Robben, that diving piece of scum. I know were I would like to drop him from 25,000 feet.
I've hated him with a fiery vengeance like a thousand suns, since his first days at Groningen then PSV but he only got worse how bigger the club. First Chelsea and the Real Madrid and now by Bayern Munich.
The deal was two years, plus the option of a third which my sources tell me they've taken. Our shirts will already be in production ahead of the summer, so it looks like we'll be sporting their branding next season.
Bah.

AFAIK they didn't announce the transfer, it was published by "Bild" as a potential story first. After which dortmund came forward and confirmed it...
one of the worst newspapers in the world but their football transfer rumor record is excellent (through very good contacts i suppose)
gonna be an exciting game today ... i'm hoping for an open game without a lot of standing around
on Robben: while i think that he is together with di Maria the best inverted winger on the right, and his (only trick is still working
) i think his time at Bayern is running out fast... Ribery on the left is undisputed, which leaves the centre and the right wing to Kroos, Müller,Robben, Shaqiri and Götze- Status
