For 25 years, I've been loyal to the English league for one reason only...Everton. Since moving to Germany in 2005, I do follow the Bundesliga, but without Everton I just don't follow it with the same passion as the Premiership.

Which is a shame, as the Bundesliga is in many ways superior to the Premiership. One of those ways is the unpredictable and entertaining nature of the post-match interview. If you can follow German, then this is a very entertaining video!

If it involves invading Poland I'm out......

Trappatoni was pure comedy when he managed Bayern. So many daft statements in his half made-up German... But the king of wacky German football phrases has to be Lothar Mattheus. So well respected abroad, so ridiculed in Germany.
 

Here's a couple for you who did french at school:


9:35

interviewer: "that was the most catastrophic performance in a long time for FC Bayern"
Ribbeck: "you serious or are you taking the piss?"


1:58

Interviewer: "would you say the team is very rattled right now?"
Oliver Kahn: "yeah, it's normal innit...there's not much self-confidence right now, obviously."
Interviewer: "are you rattled yourself"
Khan: "Me? No. Why?"
I: "because with the odd goal you let in today you didn't exactly make a solid impression...we're not used to that from you."
K: "where wasn't I solid?"
I: "the 0-1 you should have held that with your left hand, really. The 0-2 you came running out of goal...and well, that's how that goal happened."
K: "yeah well, sometimes there's phases like that. When it goes to sh*t, it goes to sh*t."
I: "so you admit you were at fault for those goals?"
Khan laughs dismissively: "I don't give a crap, actually", then laughs again...


Epic! We could do with some of this kind of stuff in the Prem.
