    The quality of the Bundesliga is v questionable. Defending isn't a concept.

    I just don't find a league that can only be won by one team that interesting.

    It’s definitely not a great league to watch, hence why nobody does in a normal life. It’s fine for some background noise but watching it the way Mahow does is obscene. I guess it’s different if you have bets placed.

    Where would the Championship be in the coefficients table? Somewhere with Portugal and Russia?

    Not claiming it's quality, defending is not good. But it's a lot of fun. Tickets are cheap so they have proper fans, they're hell-bent on attacking and they always play a bunch of youngsters. It's the FM dream.

    Plus I'm pretty sure no Bundesliga stadium has a track, which ruins the entire league for me if I watch a match that takes place in one

    The league should be ended now based on PPG. Villa and Norwich relegated, Leeds and WBA promoted.

    I've been really enjoying it.

    A good game with no fans > a crap one with fans.

    I will be watching it when "normality" resumes.

    Yes, it's dominated by Bayern but teams play good football.

    I'd rather watch Mainz v Fortuna Dusseldorf than West Ham v Brighton.

    The Bundesliga is like watching the IPL. Stuff happens, often in exciting quantities, but there is absolutely nothing to be interested by. You can occasionally root for a team who has a player you might like I suppose. Having just one super dominant team is ruinous and I've never really thought football, as a sport, lends itself to neutral viewership. You need to be invested in it in some way or another and neither supporting the reich, nor whichever upstart is doomed to fail in their challenge of the reich really appeals.

    Awesome, I didn't realise the FA Cup resumption was bundled in with today's meeting. August 8th for the Final.

    "NO WAY OF STOPPING US" said that ITV promo clip.

    I've got a good feeling about this.

    I've always thought it weird that they didn't get a national league going until the 60s. Must be something non-competitive and non-parochial in the psyche.

    He tried to do something with the U21s calling them Scotland Futures or something. Maybe I've imagined that.

    It’s a classic. I remember people not being fans of it when it was released though.

    Aaaaaaand there it is. The Gascoigne miss and it's actually about a thousand times worse than I remembered. I had it in my head it was a desperate lunge he just fell short of, not the useless cunt stopping running and waving a foot at it.
