FC Bayern vs. Karlsruhe this Saturday. We better win. No excuses!

Dortmund plays against Bremen. Expect some goals. I predict a 3-3 tie or a 4-3 win for Bremen.

[Adi]

Recently? Try the last 4 years. :biggrin:

Hoffenheim - 2nd place

Anyone care to comment? I think this is an unreal story. It's even better than Hull because these guys are actually good and talented. They are a team to look out for. Hull is good for a newly promoted team but their talent still doesn't stack up. I'm not trying to bash them (I like their team), I just don't think they'll stay in the top 5. Hoffenheim on the other hand has a pretty darn good chance of staying in the top 5 at the end of the season.

i do like how they're doing and Im starting to lose favour with Bayern Munich now that Podolski never plays  :bs:

[Adi]

It must be frustrating for him.

Commentators asked him: Why do you score so much for Germany but not for Bayern?

Podolski's response was: I get to play for Germany. :biggrin:

I'm just worried that we'll lose him during the winter break. I know that if he leaves he'll be a great player for whatever team he joins. I hope he stays patient; he'll get his chance soon.

what a sweet reply

problem is as a player and striker Podolski expects to be played alot. Before Klose and Toni came I remember it was (alot of the time) him and Makaay. Now he's been put on the bench for 2 big name players which is obviously frustrating

[Adi]

Even with Makaay he wasn't a regular striker. Pizzaro and/or Santa Cruz would come on a lot or they would play Makaay up front alone. He did start more often than now, but even then it wasn't very regular. But then again, I don't know if he deserved to start every game at that point in his career. He was still very young and learning.

[Sule]

true but u have to hand it to him, on the national stage he was there to rescue the German side when they were in doubt.

hes grown into a class player but he got thrusted aside for the big money names

i kinda want him to come the Arsenal where he will get a continuous role or at least maybe getting more playing time then with Bayern. Unfortunately, Bayern would only sell Podolski for a hefty sum so he'll probably stay there

[Adi]

That's the good thing. If we sell him it will be for 20+ million. We'll be good off either way.

Bayern 4-2 Wolfsburg.

Bayern went down 2-0 in the first half but came back strong, especially in the second half. Podolski got to start in place of the injured Toni. He looked OK but nothing special; got subbed off in the 75th minute. He's gotta be a bit more active and motivated when he gets these chances to start.

Hoffenheim vs Hamburg tomorrow. Tune in to the game people. It should be good. Give the Bundesliga a chance. :pimp:

Wow good comeback, I was watching it when it was 2-1.
