Yepp, thats correct the armbands were because of MV.
Bit of a controversial person, but he was the "grandfather" of the restructuring of the youth development in Germany, which in the end resulted in us winning the WC and in general producing a lot of exciting young players through the years.

First really big clash of the season and Bayern came out on top. Bayern were missing their centre backs and Leverkusen were off the back of a very draining CL match.
In the end I think Schmidt was outdone by Guardiola. I understand why he decided to go for his usual approach, but he needed to vary it against Bayern. Bayern had so much pace and energy in attack with Vidal, Costa, Robben and Muller. Especially Costa and Muller, who have been brilliant. Playing a high line against such speed seemed like suicide. Bayern have sacrificed more technique for raw athleticism in their starting line up.
I am a fan of what Schmidt has been doing, but I feel like Leverkusen need to repalce Castro. Krammer and Lars are too similar and it would be better to have a ball playing midfielder. They have a tough group and Schmidt might need to adapt his tactics for some games like Barcelona. Against the Italians it might work very well.
I read that Draxler is off. It is the right time for him to go. Schalke are a joke club and they have made bad decision after bad decision. Why didn't they get Tuchel? Why did they buy DI Santo? I am not sure Juventus is the right move. I guess he has no options, but Bayern or Chelsea would have been better had they wanted him.
EDIT
The Muller letting Robben take the 2nd penalty rather than go for a hat trick sums up exactly of being obsessed with stats. It's easy to vulture and score lots of goals when the match is over. Some players love to do this and others like Muller/Reus just don't care. They often score the first and most meaningful goals.

So happy that we showed up against Stuttgart, was expecting the worst after the Augsburg match.

It's been a big thing over in Germany for a few months amongst the fan groups; alas we'll never see anything like that over here.

Thought I'd commute over from the De Bruyne thread to this one ;)
Very excited about us adding Draxler, seems a decent price too at ~ €35M. Dante I'm dubious on, Klose has been good so far this season and Dante is pretty clumsy especially against the quicker players. Could see Depay having a field day against him in the CL.
