Snapshot: Achtung! Surrender. For you Fritz, the UEFA Cup 2008 is over.
By: Jan |A welcome message to the Bayern players in German: “We don’t wait for May 9th. The surrender has to happen today.” The UEFA had the banners removed before the game kicked off. So Bayern can’t argue that they just followed orders. But the Zenit fans got what they asked for nonetheless.
File under: yawn.

By: Jan |Bayern Munich invested roughly €80m in new players this season. The due return is yet another double, which they could have probably won without major investments, considering how the competition took turns self-destructing this year.

5 Conclusions from the UEFA Cup Round of 16
By: Jan |1. Bayern’s bench-warmers like their warm benches.
One of the benefits of Ottmar Hitzfeld’s rotation policy is that someone like Jan Schlaudraff gets to play the odd 15 minutes now and then. It can help keep the players in the squad happy, because they’ll get their chances and playing time. Though, judging by Bayern’s performance against […]
5 Things we learned in Europe this Week
By: Jan |1. It’s the knockout rounds, stupid.
Going by league and group stage performances, Tim Wiese clearly looks the better keeper than Manuel Neuer. Blunders against Valencia and Chelsea in the group stages and a couple more in the Bundesliga had taken Neuer from Jogi Löw’s shortlist for the Euro 2008. Tim Wiese isn’t on it either, […]
