Quite looking forward to it. Now that Werder are finally relegated, I will probably enjoy it more, being less emotionally involved and all.

Another season where the goal is 15th place.

I feel you, I really do

I did find out yesterday that I successfully weaseled my way out of all plans so that I have an open weekend to watch, drink, and hopefully cry tears of joy.

Probably best to just get this out of the way on the first day of the season.

Tough matchup, too.  Gladbach seem to play well against Bayern.

Didn't notice Gladbach vs Bayern were on Sky. Have they got the Bundesliga rights now?

Yep. And BT Sport have picked up Serie A as the replacement.

Oh ok. Didn't know that. 

Might watch some Bundesliga when I can then. Except for tonight. Brentford vs Arsenal I'm afraid.

I predicted 2-2, but I'm not so sure now. Gladbach with Herrmann and Wolf on the wings does not look very threatening. On paper at least.

Wolf will score tonight

Gladbach should be 1-0 already

Holy shit...Bayern are currently bottom of the table.

Lewy missed a sitter there. 

Clearly he's past it and needs to hang up his boots.

Even a donkey gets lucky. 

Lewy scores off a corner and it's 1-1.

He is one of the most underwhelming players I've ever seen. He's in the starting line-up and you'd only notice that he's on the pitch in the 38th minute or something. 

 

Anyway, shame Gladbach couldn't hold on to the lead until half-time. Joe Scally and Yann Sommer with great performances so far. 

Bayern with Nagelsmann is even more hate-able btw.

He's also one of the most exciting youth players I've seen, but sadly a serious injury seems to have seriously hindered his development  I still hope he manages to make a proper breakthrough at some point.

Hopefully in the 2nd half tonight.
