I have been to a game. It was boring. The stadium was silent. I had never been to any event with over 20 persons so quiet. And it must be 10000 fans inside the stadium. The Japanese were too polite to do anything except when something big happened. It was their culture. They are not supposed to disturb others in public. It was so quiet that I did not feel like talking. I know that I was not supposed to talk or make noise. So, I kept quiet throughout the game. I meant literally silent throughout the game. I could easily hear the players talking. When they scored, there was suddenly a loud cheer throughout the stadium. They made gigantic flags that were unseen elsewhere. Then, the stadium went silent again. Perhaps, it was an unimportant leagyebgame involving mid-table team. It was Kove Vissel, Iniesta's team, but he was still playing Barelona at that point. I did not attend the game for him.

However, the fans yesterday looked good on youtube. Perhaps, this was a big game.

 

Matías Almeyda, the new coach if Sevilla is a very capable and good coach. Played attacking football here in Greece, won the domestic double with a team that hasn't done it in 45 years. Very classy also. Hopefully he can last in Sevilla.

Mou is not gonna let anyone live this down.

 

That was such an unprovoked attack on Pellegrini. Players bought into "us vs world" approach of Mou, but after a while megalomania reached another level and he started fighting his own players.

 

As more and more details emerge about Wirtz's transfer to Liverpool, combined with last summer's situation where Kompany became their coach after being their eighth-choice option, it only highlights the extent of Bayern's decline. from being one of the five biggest clubs in the world, a club where top managers aspired to work and German players dreamed of signing, to just another club.

 

Bayern fumbled Kroos and still had as much success as any other club not named RM in that decade in CL. They beat Chelsea to sign Olise last summer as well.

They have had foreign superstars like Robben, Ribery, Lewa so not necessarily dependent on national superstars just like any financially healthy big club. Ballack leaving for free to join Chelsea was a bigger blow to reputation than 150 ME Wirtz to Pool imo.

For all the flak Kompany got getting the job as a relegated manager, he has done a better job than the likes of Nagel and Tuchel. Was impressed how well Bayern competed against Inter despite all the injuries they had. And I wanted Inter to go through as injury hit Bayern had no chance of eliminating Barca.

 

Arsenal saved a lot of money thanks to him snubbing them for Chelsea.

 

I'm talking about this decade, which started in 2020 — not about what happened 12 years ago.
They started off strong, but then began to decline.
I don't know if Ballack leaving on a free transfer to join Chelsea was a bigger blow or not, but I do know that Bayern fans can't stop crying about the fact that Wirtz chose Liverpool over them.
Nagelsmann won the Bundesliga once, reached the quarter-finals, and was sacked in March before the quarter-finals.
Tuchel won the Bundesliga and reached the semi-finals of the UCL.
Kompany won the Bundesliga and reached the quarter-finals.
So I don't agree with the claim that he did a better job than Tuchel or Nagelsmann.
Kompany is the only coach among the three who actually lost to Bayern.

 

Say whatever you want, like always. But can you actually prove it, or is this just another one of your 'trust me, dude, I know' moments?

 

So basically, as always a lot of words, but nothing to show for it.

Hint: Go back to all our previous conversations

 

As always, since you have no way to prove what you're saying, you immediately resort to personal attacks.

I should be grateful for the fact that you responding to me? That's funny.
The only reason you're not on my block list is because you're a "moderator" and it's not possible to block moderators. You're welcome to step down from moderation so I can add you to my block list.
Another option: you're welcome to do us both a favor and stop replying to me altogether.

 

Whether in person or online, I think it's fair to say that Wirtz snubbing Bayern isn't a great look for them is it? Now Sane has gone and they have another hole to fix. Their rumored plan A being Nico Williams turning them down as well.

They still have an elite squad, but it's unclear if they're competing for the same targets as the likes of clubs like Madrid or City. Their MO has always been to scoop up the Bundesliga's best talents, and if they fail to do that, how successful are they in scooping up foreign talent?

Kane and Olise are recent successes, but they have a ton of flops in the last 5 years: Palhinha, Ito, Zaragoza, Kim Min-Jae, Boey, De Ligt, Mane, Tel, dumped Gravenberch prematurely, Sabitzer.

They've only signed Tah on a free so far this summer as a reinforcement.

They're always going to be a Champions League competitive side, but its tough to see them as a favorite given the state of their transfers in recent years.

 

Nagel got knocked out by Villarreal. That's a huge upset for a club like Bayern. Tuchel lost Bundesliga title with Bayern for first time since 2012. Only coach to lose the league title in 13 years is historical in a bad way.

 

Not only that you proved my point, you also made a really sad projection.

The difference is that they both was 1.5 season at the clubs, while Kompany is only at his first.
Do you think that Kompany Bayren would have the won the Bundesliga at 23/24? I really don't.
He also got lucky in the UCL draws by facing Celtic and Levrkusen. Instead of City and Atleti.
