Bayer Leverkusen's amazing run of going undefeated in the Bundesliga continues. Leverkusen should win their next Bundesliga match at home to Werder Bremen. But then they face 2 very difficult back to back Bundesliga matches against Dortmund and Stuttgart respectively. These 2 matches will come after a no doubt tough 2nd leg Europa match against West Ham. Indeed Leverkusen will only have 3 days between their West Ham match in London and the Dortmund game. I fear they may lose their undefeated Bundesliga run against Dortmund or even Stuttgart. I am really hoping they go the whole Bundesliga season undefeated, because it would be an incredible feat for the club.

Think Dortmund will become more consistent even though it may still be under Favre. Gladbach and RB will put up good fights but perhaps tail off towards the end of the season. Participation in Europe is still a big factor - Dortmund and Bayern have big enough squads to rotate I think? Not sure if RB and Gladbach have the same kind of depth.

Dortmund's consistency may improve under Favre, while Gladbach and RB might struggle due to squad depth, especially with European participation.PM KISAN

Dortmund will struggle to improve their consistency under Favre, since Favre isn't their manager anymore, for whole a while now.🙂

Dortmund and Reus unanimously decided to end his contract at BVB come the end of this season. Somehow his career almost had a tragic quality. Joined Dortmund in 2012, when they were German champions just to stay for 12 years without winning a single title with them; played a Cl final losing it, and was a regular Germany International starter, when he was injured that seriously he couldn't make the squad for 2014. Allegedly he doesn't want to retire yet, will be interesting to see which is his next club.

It would be nice if he takes the Champions League to cap off his Dortmund days. I would like to see him back at Gladbach, but perhaps the USA is more likely.

Allegedly he's already negotiating with MLS clubs. That can be granted, he's apparently not unprincipled enough to whore himself to a Saudi club. That deserves a honorable mention.

St. Louis specifically.  Management team there includes ex-player Lutz Pfannenspiel (sp?) and Roman Burki is there.

Lutz Pfannenstiel. He holds the record for the only footballer to play professionally in each of the six recognized continental associations. I read his book. Very interesting.

He was at Fortuna Düsseldorf before he went to the US. I liked him and the job he was doing. Shame it didn't work out for some reason.

Yes he occasionally does the English commentary for Bundesliga matches and seems like a smart fellow.  He was a goalkeeper iirc?

Yup. Rejected an offer to play for Bayern's reserve team when he was 18 and and traveled around the globe instead.

Same old same old: It's me posting about the vexed subject of investors again. For a change it's concerning Hertha again.😆

http://www.berliner-kurier.de/hertha/hertha-bsc-millionen-zoff-fuer-investor-777-partners-in-england-und-belgien-li.2213646

Although Hertha BSC apparently didn't feel any consequences of these issues so far, it's the question when rather than if that time will come. In the meantime am convinced will be going to get violent towards anybody suggesting FCS should negotiate with a potential investor.

Niklas Süle's shape. Holy fuck.

So that's why he wasn't selected for Germany's Euro squad!) When is his expected due date? Or has he just been on the doughnuts?

I see lol 😅 I just hope the fat fker is ready for the Champions League Final, possibly the biggest match of his career. Vinicius Junior and Bellingham will have a field day against Sule if he turns up at Wembley in this shape. He will need to lose that weight quickly over the next 2 weeks.
