He said the message was in relation to him being played in the second team at FCB; something he resented the team learned the Twitter way. Continue reading

Hello all. As you can see, our Photoshopped picture of the week thread has been moved from the forum to this blog. The bad news is our first post-move picture is not actually about Bayern. It is, however, about one of its local foes. Continue reading
