    Uhm no just the ones I've subscribed to before anyways. I mean I don't want to leave you as a Brit in the state of always getting surprised about German football turning up at big tourneys outperforming whoever is currently considered world-class in EPL.

    Covid-19 aside, there would be thousands of your countrymen traveling to Bundesliga games every weekend. That's voting with feet and pretty much all that needs to be said. :thumbsup:

    What are you trying to say, that the Bundesliga is more popular than the PL?

    This Wehraboo bit is wearing thin

    I like the Bundesliga, I just don't have any affinity for particular clubs or regions within Germany that would make my interest a bit more meaningful. I tend to follow clubs I've seen play or are from regions I like. Germany is more or less all the same to me - so I watch the matches because it's good football. Nuthin' wrong with that.

    Bundesliga defending is as bad as the PL, I must be missing something here.

    And Blue and White is posting in English, on an English thread. So who won?? :p

    Right, I'm just not really sure that saying "thousands of English people will watch the only major sport league on anywhere in the world" is indicative of the Bundesliga's superiority or even quality. Which isn't taking anything away from the Bundesliga, just the point being made.

    I base my Bundesliga support on my favorite treaty named after a German city, so come on Augsburg!

    Was stunned and very happy to see a random Costa Rican league match on ESPN2 last night. It was great - even though my boys at Limon lost.

    I had to translate this for you guys

    unbelievable this caricature of a football team again a season as sketch against rubber-troops like augsburg and dusseldorf[sic] clearly outgunned quite an achievement to let yourself get fucked like dolphins spawning time gonna leave punctuation marks and capitalization out like every chimpanzee buffoon in blue gets their will who do you toads think you are wagner you can pack up your Panzer glasses and in future go karaoke singing with your feeble voice and become the fifth Beagle Boy I could piss against the wall what kind of development and what an embarrassing ride on a tunnel of horror is this

    Brian Shotton from Ashington and Stuey Nicols from Barrow do. They've been following the league for about 5-6 years

    Yeah, none of us think the Bundesliga isn't good: it obviously is.

    Bear just thinks that the atmosphere in the Bundesliga sucks.

    This is the saddest inferiority complex since 2002 when I was going on PS2 forums trying to convince them the Xbox was better

    So EPL footy is now officially scheduled to restart in just 3 weeks! (6/17/20)

    I haven't bothered watching any other leagues which are already playing, and I have serious doubts about how interesting/credible it's all going to be.

    Just pray that the league doesn't sink to the low of piping in canned "atmosphere" in the venue, or adding it to the TV feed.

    Not sure this is related to my last post or not, but I just learned a little bit about YNWA from today's newspaper:

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/27/arts/music/youll-never-walk-alone-carousel-coronavirus.html

    Up until now I only really knew it was a tune favored at Anfield and Celtic Park. But it has a much longer/broader history than that. And those last 2 versions listed in the article are worth a watch/listen... the Captain Tom one and the Dutch hospital workers. No dis to Aretha or Patti who kick some butt too.
