That's not just any goat, that's his majesty Hennes VIII.

So it'd have to be a particularly expensive meal, then. Laughing

Absolutely Very Happy

AFAIK there are only two really famous living mascots in the BL - Köln's Hennes VIII and Frankfurt's majestic eagle Attila.

BTW, this is in German, but I think Google translate should give you a little overview:

Anybody watching Markus Lanz?

Franz "Bulle" Roth is reminiscing about that time the FC Bayern players (apparently in the 70s) beat up a bunch of Werder Bremen Ultras so they could get to the airport in time. Good stuff.

Stuttgart defence ffs Laughing

by Robespierre Fri Mar 13, 2015 8:08 pm

Stuttgart confirms to be very poor defensively ... Already 2-0 .. .4 passes were enough for Leverkusen to score 2-0.
Stevens really angry after it , he invited some players on bench to warm up

by rwo power Fri Mar 13, 2015 9:42 pm

Well, there are not many matchdays left for Stuttgart to turn things around...

Ffs Pepe, show them Germans what real world-class goalkeeping looks like Proud

Alex Meier really wants the Torjägerkanone this season Very Happy

Werden Bremen under Skripnik looks so much better than under Dutt. Almost like in their best days under Schaaf, although they don't have the starplayers at the moment.

by Hapless_Hans Sat Mar 14, 2015 3:04 pm

They sacked Dutt at least one year to late. To be precise, they sacked him the same amount of time too late that he was their coach.

by rwo power Sat Mar 14, 2015 3:05 pm

Bakalorz killed the ref in Frankfurt Laughing

Yes but Skripnik is a great coach until now. I mean they also sucked under Schaaf the last 2-3 years under him.

by rwo power Sat Mar 14, 2015 3:12 pm

Okay, the ref is back on his legs in Frankfurt, and Stendera scores the 2:0 against Paderborn.

Yes, Schaaf in his last years seemed burned out and depressed to me.
I don't know exactly what was going on with their finances, they had trouble, also with the stadium I think, and the squad got worse and worse.
Seeing that they played CL regularly for a few years I can't shake the feeling though there was mismanagement from the financial executives involved.

They're so much better now, and Schaaf is also looking good again.
I just think Dutt is a pure fraud. He had the best grade in some coaching seminar's year and that's why he got his reputation when he's obviously not a good coach in reality.

by Helmer Sat Mar 14, 2015 3:23 pm

this kid Leroy Sane seems to be the next gem from Schalkes academy. I think next season will be his defining season where we will see more of his potential :coffee:

by Hapless_Hans Sat Mar 14, 2015 3:25 pm

Alaba with a freekick goal AGAIN. Best player in the world :bow:

His reputation came from his Freiburg days where he did a good job but i also think that he is a terrible coach. And i also think he will fail as Stuttgart sportmanager. He just isn't authentic somehow.

Werder and Bayern play hack'n'slay atm *smh*

by Hapless_Hans Sat Mar 14, 2015 4:10 pm

Werder took a page out of the Mourinho playbook for this game tbh.

by rwo power Sat Mar 14, 2015 4:14 pm

LOL, Joel Matip cost Schalke so many points by now...
.

And now Matip did score after all. GL Jinx at its best XD

watching Dortmund-Koln

If Dortmund can't break Koln down then there is no way they can break Juve down. Not to mention Koln missed few very good chances which Juve will most likely take.

by BAYERN_MUNICH Sat Mar 14, 2015 7:09 pm

No one thinks Dortmund will progress, i guess.

First of all, that's not how it works, secondly, Köln are not an easy to break down team this season, thirdly, I agree.
