When will Bayern sack van Gaal ?

From the top of my head there were several Ludwigs (think he was Ludwig II), but the most famous one was indeed that one who built Neuschwanstein plus his personal villa Linderhof Castle which is actually pretty small for a castle.

think you're right about him being II. They probably stopped naming them Ludwig thereafter

Ludwig was a bit of a castle-building dreamer

obsessed with Wagner

and

Swans

ended up committing suicide in Starnberger See

or getting killed

(because many people had an axe to grind about his way with money/debt)

van Gaal raving about the Franziskaner will raise a few eyebrows amongst sponsors though

in Munich, "pubs" are usually only offering beer by ONE brewery (or a few that belong to the same Group)

Franziskaner is part of the Inbev Group that also owns Spaten and Löwenbräu

Bayern Munich is sponsored by Paulaner though

anyway

van Gaal seems to be losing his way with Bayern

there simply is no progress

the first tie against Florence was a joke and only won because of the Klose/ref goal

then they lost against Florence in Italy

and the last Bundesliga game against Freiburg was VERY poor

the first half is seen as the worst Bayern half this season

usually , the team is bailed out by is piece of individual brilliance by Robben or Ribery

which has nothing to do with van Gaal either

+

van Gaal just cannot shake those defensive jitters

God knows what he is doing in training these days

he is still good in interviews though and does not buy any of the Robbery hype

when the German journalists raved about Robben once again he TOLD THEM OFF

and wondered whether they had seen Robben's first 45 minutes, where he was just WALKING AROUND

--------

meanwhile, Beckenbauer tells us that they are very happy with van Gaal but concedes that he was on THIN ICE

they agreed to give him UNTIL XMAS

NO MATTER WHAT

but clearly, alternative scenarios were already in development

the turning point, apparently, was the tie against Juve

media-wise

the van Gaal-show is now the Robben-show

anyway

manager-wise the talk is mostly about Magath these days

The King was succeeded by his brother Otto, but since Otto was genuinely incapacitated by mental illness, the king’s uncle Luitpold remained regent.

Van Gaal : 'Die Sprachwahrer des Jahres 2009' !

Where would you Germans be without us Dutchies

Someone who's enriching our language with new words like fußballen ("Wir haben diszipliniert gefußballt." ) deserves every award there is, IMHO.

Go Louis!

I could have said the same thing

What was he supposed to say instead of fussballen ? Fussbal spielen ?

Jawohl, nur noch die Rechtschreibung: Fussball

You would have to change the tense:

Fußball gespielt

actually
but yeah, that would be the correct term

Well, we wouldn't have to suffer camper vans in the middle lane of the autobahn, that's for sure.

You'll get your bikes back once you stop selling us your tomatoes.

Erm, you don't *have* to buy them...

We do have a new supergeilen Gameshowhost für Sie : Fransje Bauer

Would you please take him of our hands ?

With a bit of extra training he'll do great at Die Heimatmelodie

We just got rid of Linda de Mol, so thanks, but NO THANKS!

clearly

a DUTCH conspiracy



van Gaal fucks up and horseface saves the day for the Lederhosenmannschaft



van Gaal now ridicules Schalke and says (after their draw against the Holland Sport Verein)

"Schalke CANNOT deal with the PRESSURE"



considering that Bayern just lost against an injury depleted Frankfurt

that is truly

COCKY



am I the ONLY one who cannot await the Cup Semi between Bayern and Schalke in Gelsenkirchen , on Wednesday ?

me thinks NOT



Magath,

STOPF dem Tulpengeneral das holländische GROSSMAUL

The run-in to the title should be fantastic in the Bundesliga. Psst, it is the time Farfán has always cranked his game up. We'll see IF he can help Schalke and Magath defeat Bayern.

Judging this weekend results, van Gaal should indeed shut his big mouth.

But again it looks like the Bundesliga will be won by the least worse team instead of the best. Who it will be? No idea, but judging on the upcoming fixtures it wont be Bayern.

Hitzfeld criticises vG's squad building

saying

a TOP TEAM like Bayern ALWAYS needs FOUR central defenders

Bayern only have THREE because vG sold Lucio and gave away Breno in the winter

a mistake the club is paying for big time now

+

Hitz believes the likes of Alba, 17 years old, may be HUGE talents

but are not YET good enough for the club to rely on them

Bayern should really only work with internationals, he believes

although, he made exceptions for the likes of Lell himself, me thinks

vG's response:

" I am not interested in the opinion of COLUMNISTS (like Netzer, Beckenbauer, Hitz..) who do not have the whole picture"



me thinks

vG's squad selection will indeed see him trip up

he is still thinking along the lines of managing AZ

NOT

a CL contender

clownish performance by Bayern against WErder in the Cup Semi



just like under Klinsi, the players are now beginning to get WORSE

just take Lahm

he is almost a shadow of his former Hitzfeld self

relying on Robbery for ONE good moment per game may work most of the time

but

how is van Gaal going to fill an entire CHAPTER in his biography with THAT tactic ?

a DUTCH DISGRACE



and HE wants to manage the MANNSCHAFT

It seems me he has been integrated in Germany very well....

plays awfull and let the star player score in the last minute to win the game...

AWFUL football is a DUTCH speciality, ric

and you KNOWS it

you think of Rutten, Stevens, Koeman, van Basten, van Qual, Marwijk, Advocaat...

the GERMANS are great ENTERTAINERS

contrary to popular Dutch belief

Heynckes, Klopp, Tuchel, Schaaf...

HSV also starting playing attacking football under Labbadia

Jol DID not embrace attractive football AT ALL

+

German teams were never just ONE-or two-man teams like FC Robbery

wahre G

PS I am still angry NOW

that Robben robbed us of PENALTIES

you, ric, owe US big time

Ottolein,

See it from a positive perspective. If there wasn't a dutchie on the pitch last night you were still busy with taking penalties...

That would have had disrupted the whole german economy 'cause everyone was still watching the game and couldn't work....

As a result Germany turned out be a second Greece...

So we played Werder yesterday. Great, the final we'll play by ourselves then.

As for clownish performance: What I saw of the match was quite good from us. Schalke were ultra-defensive and disruptive for most of the match. We created a number of good chances nevertheless. Not sure what you expect. We won a cup-semifinal in a stadium we couldn't win in for years. It was a deserved victory too.

If Bayern's performance was clownish, what was Schalke's? They looked like Germany in 2002 minus Ballack/Klose.

Also: Not even Barca would have looked good on that pitch. It will be interesting to see if Schalke do anything about it until these two teams meet again. Probably not, it goes perfectly well with their 'style' and against the passing game Bayern wants to use.

On the pitch, what else? Schalke in all their wisdom kinda copied the design of the Ajax stadium and build it for themselves. In Amsterdam they've had 50-odd pitches in 10-15 years, they all were crap. Not a surprise the design doesn't allow for a decent pitch in Gelsenkirchen either.

Such poor pitch quality is a disgrace indeed.

By the way from what I read/heard (from Germany) we (Schalke) hardly tried to do anything else bar making it as hard as possibkle for the opposition.

@guzzie you complain like you are loew himself
