zippy

I will mate, enjoy your day. All I want is the respect that I show others.

Of course I think we deserved to win it, we should have won comfortably. However we f#cked up and that's life. Show as much dignity in victory as I'm trying to show in defeat mate.

Cheers mate. Absolutely devastated, to play like we did and then lose. Proud of the team, they gave everything. Have a good day.

Well everyone I'm off down the pub for some much needed refreshment in a bit. The pre-match banter is almost over and it's time to get back on the horses and each head back to our own lines,(via the boozer obviously), to prepare for battle.

Not at all, a nice play on words ! However I'll stick to my jogging trousers so there .

I'm just starting to get in the mood tbf, I'm watching the game at home but I'll be off down the pub in 30 minutes to get the party started !

180,000 Bayern fans in Munich according to Bild, plenty of your lot too. Imagine all the beer being sold !!

Nothing whatsoever anywhere in the German media or live tv etc. Live from the stadium atm discussing the Bayern choreography in the Südkurve. No mention of any injury problems at all.

No injury problems at all being mentioned in the German media. Munich police report that both sets of fans are behaving and mixing well with very little trouble atm.

German tv going into overdrive now, Munich atmosphere looks fantastic in the biergardens etc ! They've just had a competition to win a ticket for the game, one Bayern fan just scoffed 9 chocolate doughnuts with mustard, mayonaisse and tomato sauce on in less than 2 minutes without chucking up !

Sunny and mid-twenties in Munich atm, ideal weather. Same up here too, like a summer's day. I've hoovered the flat, cleaned the cat tray and done the washing up. Given the amount of time until kick off I resisted the temptation. I'll be opening the bar in about two and a half hours.

Right, nice weather so time for a walk I think, maybe a pint too !

The new laptop needs windows reinstalling so I'm using the old one until I get time to sort it next week. The old one has been playing up for weeks so I doubt it's anything to do with the football !

Computer playing up so if I drop off the radar before tea time you know why !

I haven't been on there for months, 95% of them are glory seeking bandwagon jumpers who would have difficulty finding Munich on a map. I almost got banned from the site after telling a few of them what I thought of them. There are a few decent lads on there but the majority are idiots with a lot to say and nothing behind it, it's a sort of Bayern "red cafe". Every big club has these dopes though, it comes with the territory.

Lahm is a great player but is a quiet guy off the pitch and is the last person to mouth off and be disrespectful to the opposition. I slept quite well tbh and am still fairly calm. By six pm or so the tension will be getting going though !

I was assuming they want to get into the ground, the ...ator beers have a strength of over double the average English pint. If you really want the Bayern experience try a Goassmass ( a pint of dark beer, a pint of cola in a litre pot and either a double whisky or a double brandy chucked in the mix). I was hospitalised in Munich in 1985 after a day drinking those, ahh the happy days of youth eh ? Tastes fantastic, but is absolutely lethal. You can order one in most Munich bars though.

In Munich ? Well you are surrounded by great beer but the current best brews are Augustiner Hell, Augustiner Edelstoff (try it it's brilliant) and Paulaner Hell (hell means light as in light colour, the strength is stronger than UK beer), Hacker-Pschorr is also worth trying. Augustiner is the current best beer in Munich, no doubt about it. Avoid dark beer (dunkles) or strong beer (bock) as they will really blow your head off, and don't even think about drinking any beer with a name ending in "ator" (salvator etc). You could also try Weißbier which all the major breweries in Munich make, Franziskaner and Paulaner are the best. If you do want to try a dark beer try König Ludwig dunkel, a great beer.

Don't worry mate it's the CL Final, if you aren't nervous you aren't normal !

We'll be taking no notice of the odds. We know we will need to play well to win and the players know that too. We will be up for it that's for sure.

I don't think either of us are big favourites tbh, we certainly won't be underestimating a side that knocked out Barcelona.

I've been asked this before and was thinking about it in my local after work this evening. There will certainly be German fans wanting you to win and your fans in Munich will doubtless have a few sad 1860 hangers on tomorrow but in general German fans want Bayern to win, club loyalties are cast aside. Living up north my local is full of HSV, Bremen and Hannover fans, Bayern haters to a man. But these same fans who took the greatest pleasure in us losing last week to Dortmund were all telling me over a few beers tonight that they will be rooting for us tomorrow, "Morgen sind wir alle Bayern" (tomorrow we are all Bayern), said one. Even my old enemy Karl, a rabid Bayern hating Hannover 96 fan, wants us to win tomorrow.
