What's attendance looking like so far?
Local band to add some oomph to Champions League build-up
Oom-pah band The Amazing Bavarian Stompers will play at the City Square in Manchester ahead of Manchester City’s Champions League clash with Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
Halifax farmer Frank Chislett has run the band for the last 43 years and said he can’t wait to be part of the pre-game entertainment.
“We’ve worked with different clubs in the past,” he said.
“We played at the Everton v Wolfsburg game in the Europa League recently.
“But to play in front of die-hard Munich fans will be something special.
“It’s not often we get to play in front-of 2,000 or 3,000 fans.
“We’ll be playing the Bayern Munich anthem and material that’s particular to Munich.
“But also we’ll be playing music relative to Manchester like Blue Moon, Man City’s anthem.
“We’ve got tickets for the game as well.”

As most of you know, we have many injured players. And the latest injuries of Alaba and Lahm really cost us, becaue our CM ist pretty much empty bar Alsonso.
Against Hoffenheim on the weekend we just played Alonso as CM and Götze ahead, there was no real second CM, only Rafinha tended to drift into the centre.
I don´t think, that we will play like that against you. Schweinsteiger made his comeback against Hoffenheim, but as he said himself, he needs a bit more time to start a game. So we will likely start with Rode, who´s not bad, but unexperienced on this level. Alonso, Rode and Götze will probably play in the centre. That means one of our four grandés upfront (Lewandowski, Ribéry, Robben, Müller) will be benched at least.
I also could imagine, that Shaqiri will start in order to rest another player. Boateng is slightly injured which leads to the following team:
------Lewandowski-----------
Ribery----Götze-------Müller (maybe Shaqiri instead of Ribéry/Müller, i think Robben will be rested)
-------Alonso----Rode------- (maybe Höjbjerg instead of Rode)
Bernat------------------Rafinha
-------Dante---Benatia--------
-------------Neuer---------------
The offense ist hard to predict, Lewandwoski and Götze will probably play, one or two out of Robben/Ribéry/Müller will be benched/rested.
I´m looking forward to a good game and because both teams suffer injuries and suspensions (is this the right word for "banned" in this context?^^) especially in the centre midfield, i except a quite fast and offensive game from both teams.
Btw. why is Bayern so hated here? Is it (mainly) because of Rummenigges comments about FFP? When i´m reading other english football forums (from united, chelsea und arsenal) Bayern always seems quite popular among their fans. Reading here there is like 1 positive comment for every 10 negative.
Well bad mouthing our finances while your directors don't pay their taxes, while your club continues to be bankrolled by Bavarian companies to give you enough financial muscle to bully your league and while using your influence at UEFA to rig the rules and regulations in your favour and the rest of the g14s all have a part to play in that.
Oh and you're basically the German Man Un***d, you've had a financial advantage for years that has allowed you to bully the rest of your league and it's made you arrogant, made you think you're somehow better than everyone else when in reality, as has been shown in the Premier League, take away that advantage and you're no better. And we fucking hate those red bastards.
But apart from that you're alright.
