Gutted for dortmund but they fucked it completely.

[Caligula?]

He's off in the next few weeks.

Come home, Sadio.

[StevoHimself]

I rather think that what happened on the night in Paris gave people a perspective to be honest. It certainly did me, we were lucky we didn't see a full scale disaster who cares about the result of the game itself.

I think it just made me feel even more deflated. Things like that should not be happening full stop.

Everyone is different hey. I got over it pretty quickly all in all, once it's gone its gone. Look forward to the next season.

Why have him sitting on the bench then? He should have been in the stands instead.

You get 9 subs in the Bundesliga I don't think it was a major issue.

[darragh85]

I've no sympathy for Dortmund. All they seem to do is strengthen or rivals despite their connection to our manager.

Also, they have been bottling it for the past 2 months. No surprise really.

They need to mix it up a bit with more experienced players. It's not surprising that a team of young players struggles under pressure.

Hummels? Reus? Sule? Can? Guerreiro? Wolf? Brandt? Haller?

All over 28 and all played today with all but one starting.

In their starting line-up today, only Malen and Adeyemi were below 25 years of age. They have some really experienced played like Hummels and Sule at the back, Can and Brandt in midfield, even Reus came in as a sub. Its players who are used to winning trophies regularly that they are missing. If you take out Hummels, Sule, Can and Haller, none of the players who featured today have won a league title as a starter.

[Gili Gulu]

He was the water boy ...

I think it's a thing in German football that the youngest player on the bench carries water bottles etc. I know Klopp has the same thing at Liverpool, I've seen Elliot carrying water bottles.

Bellingham wasn't the youngest.

I just don't think there was any intention for him to play in anything other than a cameo role if they were winning comfortably.

[Fromola]

exactly. Bayern are tedious as fuck, but again, it isn’t just them at fault as we saw today. The chances have been there this and last season.

Also today was anything but boring.  4 of the Euro places and relegation also determined on the final day.

Bayern pissed 10 in a row but did their best to let Dortmund in this year.

I could see Leipzig winning it next year and most Germans would rather Bayern even win it than them.

[Samie]

 

Why are we never this ruthless? 

Official: Bayern confirm that Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidžić are sacked with immediate effect.

[stoa]

Why are we never this ruthless? 

Ruthless would have been to sack those idiots the moment they even thought about replacing Nagelsmann with Tuchel...

[child-in-time]

Can't see it happening. Bayern poached away one of their players already... Konrad Laimer. And Nkunku is leaving for Chelsea too. To top that, they were not really impressive this season to begin with.

[Fromola]

Peak Dortmund that. They will mess up just about anything they possibly can mess up.

It's German football though. Only Bayern have a winning mentality.

The likes of Schalke and Hamburg massive clubs but a laughing stock, at least Dortmund compete a bit.

You are right. That winning experience is lacking. They don't just strike me as a team that believes they can win big trophies. Also, they didn't lose it just today because threw good opportunities to extend their lead.

[Fromola]

True. Just based on the way they've finished the season.

[S]

Feel for Reus but Dortmund didn’t deserve the title if they couldn’t win that one.

[RedG13]

Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidžić sacked by Bayern according to Kicker.

That been coming for weeks now

[Clint Eastwood]

Hope Mainz are happy.

Haller’s penalty too - if you’re a goalkeeper facing a high-stakes penalty always dive to the opposite side of the penalty takers foot (i.e. if they’re right-footed dive to your left). Don’t know why they always seem to insist in placing it.

[Dim Glas]

Don’t see why they wouldn’t be like, been a solid season for the Zero Fivers   

[disgraced cake]

Didn't know Dortmund were the 2nd most successful Bundesliga side with only 5 wins. Thomas Muller alone has won 12 for fucks sake 

[Statto Red]

Fuckin hell Dortmund, only needed to win the last match of the season at home to win the Bundesliga, go 2-0 down & miss a penalty in 25 minutes, & scrape a 2-2 draw which wasn't enough, talk about bottle job, the Arsenal of Germany.

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

I believe they are happy because they won a football match. You can't really blame Mainz for that.

Oh I was depressed about Bayern winning again but at least Arsenal bottled it before the last day. Would have been even worse City win it like Bayern did today.

Drew to be fair but yeah

No excusing what BVB did today, it was terrible, to have the title in their hands, and to not be able to beat Mainz at home, no suger coating that.

BUT BVB as a club are far removed from Arsenal, for one thing they have won the European Cup, for another, their fans are amazing and loyal and back them through it all, something Arsenal fans don’t have any idea about. Whereas the team let them down today the fans where utterly amazing, the sight of the yellow wall jam pack full AFTER the final whistle, basically trying to comfort their team, that had really let them down, was incredible.

[Wabaloolah]

Gutting for Dortmund and their supporters but more so for the integrity of the league. It's not healthy one club winning the league every year.

Same in Austria, Scotland & France and going the same way in England too

[stoa]

The great thing about this outcome is that you can laugh at both teams. At Dortmund for bottling it and at Bayern for the league win not changing anything and them still being in full FC Hollywood-mode as shown by Kahn whining about not being able to celebrate the win with the team. And this will continue as Tuchel  will stay in charge at  least until the winter break.  It's all pretty hilarious... 

[Fromola]

Didn't know Dortmund were the 2nd most successful Bundesliga side with only 5 wins. Thomas Muller alone has won 12 for fucks sake 

Bayern have won 32. Bearing in mind it's only 60 years old (and Bayern weren't even it when it started).

A bit of a joke really. Even in England the record is 20 title wins and that dates back to 1888.

[LiamG]

So only one man has stopped the Bayern machine in Germany...

The same man who has managed to stop Pep's Man City

must be a pretty decent manager

Last day drama in BuLi 2, HSV are at the moment promoted, but Heidenheim just get a goal back to make it 2-2 vs Ragensburg, there was 11 mis of stoppage time. A couple mins left for them to find 1 more goal.

[Dim Glas]

Heidenheim did it  2 goals in stoggage time to win 3-2 away and get automatic promotion to Bunedesliga and as champions of BuLi 2.

Playoff for HSV.

[afc tukrish]

And they've done it, Bundesliga 2 champions, Frank Schmidt in the Bundesliga!

Need to search out a copy of Trainer online somewhere...

Well done Heidenheim. They've been hanging around promotion for the past few seasons. I don't think they'll stay up, but still a good story. HSV though were in an automatic promotion position for the bulk of the season.

[skipper757]

This happened yesterday in the BuLi 3 with Wiesbaden (supporters stormed the pitched) only for Osnabruck to score twice in stoppage time to win the promotion spot.

[BBS]

Strong Schalke 2001 vibes from these Wiesbaden and HSV pitch invasions. Not quite the same as they both get to go again, it will be interesting to see how they handle it mentally
