sure they havent mathematically clinched but has anybody had doubts about it since november?

What doubts? Everyone knew they are winning for sure. That's why this league is not watchable for many people in the world. My friends always tell me that they know the result without league starts, why bother watching it?

Look it is only May and Bayern will win next year in 2017.

...just like everyone knows Juve will win your beloved Serie A.

So why do you bother watching it?

Can't you say the same thing about the Serie A where Juventus just won it for a 5th straight year?

At least it was somewhat competitive no?

I mean bayern puts 10 pts difference within first 7-8 weeks.

You can look at it that way; but then there's also the other side of the sword, where Juve got off to that really bad start, but will still end up winning the league by double digit points.

Bayern, meanwhile, has been on their game all season but still haven't even mathematically clinched, with two games left to play.

I really dont think they are on their game though. I feel like they already know they will win for sure. That's why Pep is trying different things and different XI almost every game to do the experiment to see how it works. They are playing with gear two at most. Even if they go one up, gear 3 would be enough to beat everyone in buli forget about 4 or 5.

juve was surely the favorite but there was some talk of roma and napoli challenging them before the season and napoli did so for the good part of the season. not the same as bundesliga where before the season i havent heard anybody giving a chance to any team outside of bayern, and of course they had a comfortable lead most of the season even if the final point margin will make it look like it was more competitive than it actually was.

actually next season i could see dortmund challenging but then again they can't break the pipeline that goes to munich judging by the hummels news.

Well Stuttgart is in deep $#it right now but I'm confident we will reanimate them on Saturday given our current form.

There hasnt really been any title race this season. The fact that it hasnt been decided yet is fool's gold. It's been as dull as the last 3 years.

Could've been exciting if Dortmund had beaten Bayern but Tuchel decided to play for a draw.

Post #871 » by **ATL Boy** » Tue May 3, 2016 3:33 am

Yea, that game against Bayern was Dortmund's chance to really make this a title race. We didn't really need any justification that Tuchel messed up by playing conservatively, but we got it at the end of the season. The game was at Signal Iduna too.

Hopefully we can challenge next year, if we sign the right players and don't let Aubameyang go.

Gladbach will say goodbye to four players on Saturday, during their final home game of the season.

- Martin Stranzl will end his career
- Branimir Hrgota will leave
- Harvard Nordtveit will join West Ham
- Roul Brouwers won't be re-signed

Stranzl and Brouwers are actually two huge losses, given that they're both leaders of the team.

F*cking Waldi Hartmann and Didi Hamann slagging off Guardiola on national German TV. Disgrace.

3 league titles, 2 German cups, 1 Club World Cup, 1 UEFA Super Cup. The best football we've ever seen in Germany. Chapeau.

Not sure if serious... :crazy:

He is a **** terrible Coach, as he showed. 0 CL Titles with a team like that.

Dortmund are close to winning the race for Ousmane Dembele. This has shades of the Marco Reus transfer many years ago, where the big clubs are looking his way but Dortmund end up as the favorites because of playing time (I presume).

No_20 · Post #876 » by **No_20** » Thu May 5, 2016 10:49 pm

Kicker: Dortmund are offering Mats Hummels a new contract until 2021. He could still decide to stay at the club

Imagine if he decides to stay after all this talk. Why not just move to a foreign club? A PL-club will easily offer the money that's needed. Klopp and Guardiola would love to have him.

Offiziell: Ralph Hasenhüttl ist ab 1. Juli 2016 Trainer von RB Leipzig.

Markus Kauczinski(from KSC) will replace him.

Sandro Wagner is going to score today at least once. Considering how the last few weeks went, this just has to happen.

Although Bayern seems to be interested in him as well, going to Dortmund is flatout the better move for him. He's 18 years old, there's still so much time left in his career to get a big pay day and play for a top club. Dortmund is able to offer playing time, most likely CL football every year and a good coach.
Shoutout to that kid for making such a reasonable decision.

In general, Dortmund's squad next year looks pretty interesting. Merino, Dembele and who knows who they will bring in as well. Some extremely talented kids (add Pulisic to that mix). I really like how they are setting up themselves for the future.

**** Andre Hahn...I was just starting to believe we can get back into the race for 4th spot and then he scores
