Bundesliga

[Aar_the_Toffees]

I ve just about had it in the Premier League as an Evertonian. It's money spoiled and filthy. The same teams contend for the top 4 consistently every year. Chelsea, Liverpool, City, United and Arsenal. And you know what pisses me off? The reason we can't contend for top 4 legitimately like we did last year, at least consistently is money. We don't have enough- and I know all the shouts about Kenwright and Co. Not their fault, even though it sorta is. They want too much to sell- and it's better if they don't. Or is it? Do we wanna continue to be the shining beacon in English Football, which is getting corrupt by foreigners quicker then we know, or do we wanna adapt the model of modern politics and be another Chelsea, City, or United? I can't decide.

So I made another decision. I'll always be an Evertonian of course. But I need another team to support. A second team, if you must. And I've chosen the Bundesliga. A league where other than the title, the battle for the Top Four is unpredictable and exciting for all teams. A league where a team can surge from a relegation contender to a Top 4 challenger without any investment. A league where homegrown talent is more known to the league then foreign investment is. A league where fans are apart of their clubs, not customers. A league which embodifies what English Football should be and what the First Divison of England was in the past.

Now I need your vote and assistance. Which team should I support. Please narrow it down in the above- so far i GOT Wolfsburg, Leverkeusen, Dortmund, Schalke, Monchengladbach, Augsburg, Hoffenheim. Top 4 contenders as you can see- with a couple being on the rise. And if you could state a reason as well.

Also this thread could be a Bundesliga discussion thread as well, as we don't have one for some reason- at least none that I'm aware of. Who do ya fancy Monchengladbach or Bayern?

St Pauli

Why not just go full Glory Hunter mode and support Bayern? That way you get the best of both worlds.

Everton

Bayern

Enjoy a few trophies and be sure to tell people you liked Bayern even when they were poo. Buy a home shirt and get Ribery on the back and then start sleeping with under age girls and draw a massive scar on your face in biro.

Boss you lid.

Hoff are a millionaires play thing. A small village club brought into the big time by a millionaire.

I sort of follow Shalke and Hoffenheim. Hoffenheim have some great young players like Firmino and Kevin Volland. Schalke are obviously CL contenders and their team is stacked with youth talent - Draxler, Max Meyer, Nastasic, that Timon Wellenreuther that's played in goal a few times looks good too and he's only 19. Plus they're the rivals of Dortmund who sing YNWA so it's an obvious choice.

I like Hamburg.
I also like Hamburgers.
For that reason I like Frankfurt.
Because I like Frank.

De Bruyne is one of the only players in the world class enough to score on Tim Howard, so I'd go with Wolfsburg.
