Laughable, isn't it? The lengths UEFA go to, to protect their brand. Forcing Red Bull Leipzig to rename themselves RB Leipzig. Or forcing the likes of us to alter the official name of the stadium.

Fuck their shit competition.

The Boys in Blue never give in. They fight to the end. Come on City, come on City. Show ‘em lads, show ‘em all. Especially the Leipzig Zaggers. Especially the twisted, stupid, Specsavers needing media.
You can do it lads, you can do it.

THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD.

Do you ever think of anything else :-)

Is there anything else but JB being in the team? ;-)

Okay then; I stand corrected. Please, enlighten me. Why are Leipzig doing that?

German rules.

Tiny club chosen by drinks giant Red Bull to take on dominance of the west

Red Bull in Leipzig: "Wir würden selbst den Teufel mit offenen Armen empfangen"

Red Bull will zum neuen Lebenselixier des Ost-Fußballs werden. Mit Macht, viel Geld und einem Trick kauft sich der Brause-Brauer in Sachsens fünfte Liga ein - um dann schnell in den Profibereich aufzusteigen. Proteste haben keine Chance, der Konzern selbst spricht schon vom "Beispiel Hoffenheim".

"In contrast with previous clubs, RB Leipzig did not bear the corporate name. The statutes of the DFB would not permit the corporate name to be included in the club name. Instead, the club adopted the unusual name "RasenBallsport", literally meaning "Lawn Ball Sports". But through the use of the initials "RB", which corresponds to the initials of the company, the corporate identity could still be recognized."

Their name never was Red Bull Leipzig - It was originally a club called SSV Markran-städt before they were bought by Red Bull and renamed RasenBallsport Leipzig (a fucking ridiculous name).

My mate used to go to the ground,early match day,had to put black tape over all the names on the TVs etc....had to cover all logos.

Always wise to cover your Bush

I’m usually quite positive but think we’ll be lucky to get away with that team.

No width, no pace, no dynamism.

Need KDB to really turn up

 

[Pelegrinni]

Maximo the talented kid.

Real shame that Foden isn‘t starting. Be interesting to see where De Bruyne and Bernardo play - one in midfield, one wide right, presumably, but could be either way round

Good to see Ned and Joleon on pundit duty tonight. Pity about Ferdinand. But, to quote Marvin Lee Aday, two out of three ain't bad.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

This is on pep

Foden should of started

Sick of this.

Just practising
