I will ride the wave, and in light of today’s events.

I have my own YT channel (this was pre-planned)

Top (debatable) analysis in English.

Subscribe, or the channel will be copyrighted (this will happen anyway) or subscribe and one day I too can own the Bundesliga rights.

Bayern were good

But

Dortmund brought this upon themselves with how they played in the 1st half

If they played like they did in the 2nd, they could have drawn the game.

Dortmund asked for the rent to be raised as they believed so much in the grind/hustle, after their 1st half shit show.

The rent was raised too high

They have now been evicted

Dortmund playing like the other Borussia atm.

#FCBBVB

Jack Meenan @jackmeenan.bsky.social · 17h

Dortmund are definitely shooting themselves in the foot with how they have decided to set up to play.

But if they don’t play like this, they are 3-0 down

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

So Dortmund will try to attack now?

#noticing

- I thought Leverkusen were good today (apart from the end), October int break did a lot for them
- the same with Stuttgart. El Khannouss defo one of the signings of the season.
- Wolfsburg will probably sack their manager soon.

Bald Dutchman and the Bundesliga are not a good fit.

Who would of thought?

All Leverkusen need was a proper international break for Hjulmand to get the team to begin functioning properly

They are clicking.

A long read on the decline of the cities and relationship of Ruhr clubs with their cities (how Dortmund has adapted)

May hit.

Especially as most clubs haven’t been good since mining was a major industry.

Last mine closed in 2018 - last good Schalke season.

Gladbach’s first win on the BBC

The UK will think Gladbach are a good team.

Bring back the LigaPokal

Jack Meenan @jackmeenan.bsky.social · 4d

Gladbach, HSV, Bremen, Schalke, Stuttgart all spending time in the 2nd division

All having their only off the field problems trying to keep up.

Dortmund nearly going bust.

All the while, Bayern have been consistent.

To close the gap, you would need at least a decade of Bayern struggles

Jack Meenan @jackmeenan.bsky.social · 4d

Researching Dortmund nearly spending themselves into oblivion and it just shows why Bayern have been so dominant.

They are simply just well run

Every big team in Germany that has competed with Bayern at some point in history have had their problems.
