Bundesliga review

[Ruhr]

I know that the following link is in German - but @Ruhr - what do you think about this?

http://www.spiegel.de/sport/fussbal...zis-und-hooligans-unter-ordnern-a-872213.html

Short summary for the english folks:
Its basically an article about an incident that happened during the BvB-Schalke Derby. Schalke Fan was beaten unconscious and claims that guys who attacked him are part of Dortmunds security team.

Several other people, including a police officer, claim that the security team is getting slowly inflitrated by German Neo Nazi´s, some of them even members of one of Dortmunds Ultras groups called Desperados.

Dortmund is well known as a stronghold of neonazis in western germany. Also the personal links between members of the "national resistance Dortmund", which was recently banned by the state, and members of "Desperados" and "Northside" has been reported several times. Borussia Dortmund is doing quite a lot to get it under control, as they had done in the 90ties with the extremist "Borussenfront" hooligan firm, so it is quite a surprise, that they possibly ignored it in their own security team. The security measures, that had been agreed on yesterday by the Bundesliga, are maybe controversial, but i support the one which demands a better quality of security companies. Not only in Dortmund.

Watching Bayern/Gladbach and hoping for another Juan Arango wondergoal. :D

Ribery is class.

Brilliant game so far, Gladbach 1-0 up at Bayern's stadium.

 

[Tevez City]

Shaqiri is looking to be the next star for Bayern Munich.

 

[Ruhr]

ter Stegen seems to be back too, after his crisis

 

[bayern blade]

Obviously we should have won 35 shots to 2 and so on but we can be happy with the point given the current standings.

 

[LoveCity]

Watching Schalke, they just scored. I love Farfan, I can't believe a club like City didn't go for him when he was out of contract this summer, he's such a productive winger and 10x the player Scott Sinclair is.

 

[Dzeko's Right Boot]

There is a reason we went for Sinclair over the foreign alternatives, though.

The homegrown thing? The only criteria is that you can't name more than 17 non-homegrown players and we have frequently not submitted a full 25-man squad anyway. And we have Hart, Wright, Richards, Barry, Lescott, Milner, Clichy, Rodwell w/ Guidetti on the verge of eligibility. Even if we were a few men short, not worth sacrificing a better player over IMO.

Schalke 1-2 down now, shambolic defending! The pace and quality of the football in the Bundesliga is tremendous though.

 

[Bembeltown]

30 fucking points for us. If someone told me before the season I would have burst into hysterical laughter.

10 more to go! :)

Why have schalke fallen apart so badly?
