This one made me laugh.

 

Surprised they didn't go for Leroy Sane as owing them!

Probably watch a few of these games in Germany, if anything to just get use to watching games without fans/atmosphere so if won’t be such a shock/disappointment when the PL reappears.

Schalke, anyone? 

 

At first I thought Wagner was on the coaching staff at Bournemouth and I wondered how I missed that somehow this season. Then re-read it and felt like an idiot....

I don't know why but it always seems like the German football teams' social media output in English, their SECOND language, seems much better and fan-friendly than most over here. Would love to experience one of their games.

I think they're aware of how envious a lot of English fans are about many facets of German football. Especially the cost, the way fans are treated and the atmosphere and they're doing everything they can to encourage our interest in their game.

It's superb! I lived in Berlin for a bit and went to see a few Hertha Berlin games and also once went to see Dortmund play for a trip outside of Berlin. Fans are well behaved but passionate, you can swig a beer during the match, support is vocal, football is of good quality (though IMO not to Premier League standard). Dortmund was something else! The Yellow Wall is incredible and they have "hype men" with megaphones to get the crowd going. Not everyone is a fan of that sort of thing, but it has a big effect. The whole ground was singing and they would do things like cheer for a player that was struggling. When I went there Marc Batra had just signed and was not having the best of games, but the hype men and fans started singing for him moments after he made a poor back pass that almost cost the team a goal. He improved significantly and he went over to the fans post-match to say thank you. I liken this to Soynucu's game against Wolves as our first game this season, the whole crowd got behind him and you saw his confidence just grow and grow and now he's the best young CB in the country.

 

If you ever get the opportunity to go and see a Bundesliga match, I'd highly recommend it. It's welcoming to all people but still has a good intensity about it. But that said the best atmosphere I have ever been to (other than our title winning season) was a Milan Derby that finished 2-2. I couldn't see anything for the first 20 minutes due to smoke from flairs, and all the goals were scored during that period! But regardless the noise and atmosphere was something else.

 

Of course the day Andrea Boccelli sang for us at the King Power will never be topped. Even when you play that game back again you can hear the incredible atmosphere that was at the ground and in the city. That was quite literally witnessing a miracle live!

100% agree. Me and my mates go to watch Hertha at least once a season and it’s an amazing experience. Fans mixing in together, drinking during the games, great chants. All for about €10

I have family in Europe (though probably not much longer) so it's something I might not get to experience that cheap. I tried getting into a couple of Belgian games but at the times I was over the teams were usually on an away fixture or winter break.

Absolutely gobsmacked at the cost, though. I suppose that's what fan ownership does.

Time for the PL version of Netflix! Hopefully this 300m bill will force the PL to re-evaluate their business model and consider online streaming

I've wondered why they haven't done 5hat for a while now. All matches available to view, a MOTD style thing, a soccer saturday where they actually show goals as they come in, documentaries..... it could be massive.

On the topic of Bundesliga - I was bored so created a poll over in General. Curious to hear what everyone thinks, and why!

English fans only have themselves to blame though through their inability to use their nationwide spending power to force changes for the benefit of fans because of their club partisanship rather than football partisanship

'That awkward out of context moment when Madders top bins it.

 

Agree?'
