What do you guys think will be the gap between Bayern and BvB in March after their meeting in Dortmund?

Bayern are without Boateng for around 2 months and they have some real banana skins coming the next month:

Leverkusen away
Augsburg away(Weizierl usually does well against Guardiola)
Wolfsburg away
And then the Dortmund match away in beginning of March.

They also have the games against Juventus Turin in that period as well, will probably some of the away from the league.

Could Dortmund cut it down to 3 points?

I only remember a FK from Alaba that hit the post. That's it.

Wolfsburg is such a mediocre team without de Bruyne. Not sure they can get back in the CL spots.
And if they don't Rodriguez will leave 100% as well which will sooner than later ensure even worse mediocrity. :lol:

Turns out that Mexican guy Frankfurt bought is pretty good just like I predicted. Smh.

Schalke really need a new CF. Huntelaar is ready for Süper Lig.

So much this. It's time for them to put him out to pasture and to move ECMC up top while bringing Belhanda on, or turning to di Santo.

And it sucks that Leverkusen will be getting Oztunali back after this season. That kid's amazing.

Game should've been 3 if not 4-0 if it wasn't for Huntelaar failing again and again on top chances. :lol:

Di Santo sucks, too.

I never understood why Schalke didn't go after Selke before he went to Leipzig. I mean he might've sucked the same way Huntelaar or di Santo suck now but in 1-2 years he'll surely explode...imagine a core of Selke, Sane, Meyer, Geis, Goretzka and Kolasinac plus maybe Avdijaj.

No no. He still scores 15+ goals in Bundesliga. I mean we are talking about a league where Alexander Meier scored 20+ goals lmaooo

Schalke needs a left back. top 5 lb who warms Chelsea's bench might be good option. He is top 5 lb in the world. Very good player.

Or maybe Mainzer 05. They surely need a lot of players since they got destroyed by mediocre Greek relegation zone team

Samuel Eto'o and Mario Gomez are the Superlig goal scoring leaders. Podolski and Derdiyok are in the top 10, each is just a goal shy of being tied for 5th.

I was going to make a joke, but after seeing that it feels far too mean to make fun of the shameful state turkish football is in.

Mario and eto'o would probably score as much in bundesliga.

Also you forgot to mention top 5 lb Baba Rahman. He is the assist leader in epl.

OK, so nothing happened at all, besides Dortmund being able to plan for next seasons Champions League.

I hope we can find a somewhat better balance given that we'll have to score three a game to get points, if we keep handing over them goals like we do since that international break in November.

What happened to the best defense of bundesliga? It seems like everybody scores minimum 3 goals to you guys past 2-3 months.

No balance at all.
That first goal was just insanly bad thanks to terrible pressing of five guys on one cb and the goalkeeper, which led to Gündogan and the ball in our own half and no one even near him.

Eberl, Allofs and Heldt want Bundesliga to be played on Boxing Day in the new TV deal.

The winter break is too damn long. Spain have a much shorter winter break and their clubs dominate in Europe.

It will be interesting to see with the new TV deal. I think they should quit this Sky experiment with the main game of the weekend being played 18:30 on a Saturday. Why not do like the English(and like they do with NBA in America) and just have a Super Sunday with 2 big games. I know it would hurt the Saturday shows Sportschau/Aktuelle Sportstudio and their ratings not to have Bayern, Dortmund, HSV, Schalke etc. in their programme but they are public channels so I doubt they really care that much.

Foye · Post #1919 » by **Foye** » Mon Jan 25, 2016 2:50 pm

Here is what they should do:
Friday 20:30 (1), Saturday 15:30 (2), 18:30 (1), 20:30 (1), Sunday 14:30 (1), 16:30 (1), 18:30 (1), 20:30 (1)

And to make this even better introduce two new teams, make it a 20 team league --> another game monday 20:30

Wont happen, though, ultras will go on riots if Saturday 15:30 matches are further reduced.
Ard probably go on riot, too lol...maybe offer them as compensation to show one game per week live.

Dont think Sky want to end Konferenz. It's been a huge success and having many 15:30 games is a tradition in Germany anyway. It's by far the best time for fans to go the game. Stop calling them 'ultras' just because you are a Mainz fan in Frankfurt and dont go to the games. If you asked any match going fan they would say 15:30 Saturday is the best time to go to a game.

There are way too many dull Bundesliga games for you schedule to work. I only watch HSV, Bayern and the odd Dortmund game. Last year it was Wolfsburg too see if they could challenge Bayern. Other than that I'd rather watch the Premier League. There are too many nothing clubs in the league. There's also lack of true derbies compared to England. 20 teams is a good idea but it's useless if we keep getting tinpot clubs like Darmstadt and Paderborn promoted.
