    Bundesliga is actually pretty good to watch. Get it live on the TV here. Similar to PL in style of play but all the teams seem to have a go instead of sitting back for draws against the top teams (or 'ein Newcastle machen' as its called there).

    Give us a chance to keep an eye on Coutinho and Lewandowski as well. Wouldn't want us to just sign them if they are not going to be able to gel with Joelinton.

    Might pick a german team to support based purely on the logo and name.

    Cant decide tho

    Schalke for me because I've been to their ground. Also Gelsenkirchen is twinned with Newcastle

    RB Leipzig for me. There’s something appealing about a club bankrolled above its station.

    I'm with you, came to that conclusion earlier.

    Gotta love a marginalised club from a poorer part of the country bankrolled by extremely wealthy people not giving a **** about the status quo.

    Are these matches being played behind closed doors?

    The only game i ever watched in full whilst sat in a German pub was Bayern Munich v Schalke and I supported Schalke as the guy I was with was supporting Munich (he was German and grew up supporting them). Schalke won 1-0 and he turned to me after the gae and told me the scorer (a defender called, iirc, Linke) was already moving to Munich in the summer.

    I'll be supporting Dortmund solely because to me they are the anti-Bayern Munich and the best shot of taking the title from them. Plus Sancho and Haaland, etc. Oh and their fans :)

    Having been to a number of Bundesliga games over the last 10 years (Bayern, Koln, Dortmund) I'd have to go with Dortmund. The atmosphere at SIP has to be one of the best I've ever experienced in a foreign ground, I've also seen AS Roma, Feyenoord (twice), AC Milan, Sparta Prague and Athletico Madrid and Dortmund is by far head and shoulders above the rest. Their logo is pretty cool and they had some pretty cool songs that they sang for Shinji Kagawa when we were there in 2017. We had a bar full of the locals holding their shoes in the air singing shoes off if you love the toon as well...they're a cracking bunch. Dortmund itself is a ****ing ****hole, with hindsight we should have stayed in the 'Dorf....i did enjoy a very drunken argument with an angry russian over the pool table in our hotel tho....think I complemented him on his banging missus and he took exception to it <laugh><laugh><laugh>

    Watching the Dortmund - Schalke game on TV. Not the same without the crowd - it must be like this watching Sunderland play.
