Bundesliga Super-Thread warning post #4542

Union Berlin is a weird one. The former 'people's club' of East Germany - as opposed to the 'state club' BFC Dynamo - has a great history of genuine fan support and 30 odd years after the wall came down they made it finally into the top flight. An incredible story all by itself. Bundesliga fans will probably be familiar will all that background.

Last season was their most successful ever. Relatively new to the top flight they had a stormer of a season and qualified for the Champions League where they drew Real Madrid in their group. They signed a few high profile players (by their standards) and thought it was only ever going to go onwards and upwards. And then they proceeded to have a nightmare of a season.

Would be shame if they went down but thats definitely on the table now. Currently in the relegation playoff spot they could technically still avoid that but also could get caught for 17th spot and straight down relegation. All or nothing game coming up against Freiburg who are no mugs and can still make Europe. Their indirect opponents for avoiding relegation or the playoff spot are Köln, Mainz and Bochum. All 4 clubs involved in this battle have doable opponents but it also could go very wrong for each of them. If it was to be the playoff spot their opponents will be Fortuna Düsseldorf a club with great Bundesliga tradition and a great fanbase and also no mugs. Big drama coming up next weekend and squeaky bum time.

So Kane doesn't even get a runner-up medal. 😐️

It is and it isn't tbh.

Yes league was poor but once the league was lost and all focus was on CL I wouldnt be too harsh on some of the losses around that time. Also thank fk tbh. 11 in a row is quite enough.

Champions League was pretty good considering the state of the squad. Bayern not exactly at the dizzying heights from a few years ago, you see that on the pitch above all. Going to the CL semi-final and almost making it is pretty good.

The quad has a solid base, not terribly old, there is a top centre forward and with a couple of additions next year will be better.

What is an embarrassing sh1tshow however is the manager saga and especially how they go on about it. Embarrassing. A club like Bayern shouldn't be likes whoring on twitter. Conduct your business like any serious business would and not on fkn social media. Eberl, I dont know tbh. Seems a bit of a clown too many apps on his phone.

Yeah, they're obsessed about their coaches speaking German, which rules out De Zerbi (and a lot of options more decent that they're actually looking at). Should be throwing the kitchen sink at Hansi Flick imo, best manager they've had in ages.
