German fans boycotting Monday fixtures.
Officially, Dortmund's 81,000-seat stadium was sold out, but only 54,300 people showed up.
The problem is, how else is the Bundesliga going to come up with new revenue streams to keep up with the ridiculously spending EPL? Assuming they want to be competitive in Europe, that is.
Promote parity?

Goalline posted:Wigan in the FA Cup? Shocking result. I thought this team was destined for the quadruple. Still think they win Champions league.
Too many damn injuries from 4 competitions. I'm actually OK with getting knocked out. We never play well on sloppy pitches with this squad.
I'll take Caribou Cup and PL title...UCL is gonna be a tall order...good as we are, Real and Barca are just way too tough.
LOL
Please Liverpool don't blow the second leg.
And FS 1/2 showed three of the four quarterfinals. Sevilla/Bayern? Relegated it to streaming only. I know I keep going on about how they only cover Real/Barcelona/EPL teams, but this is ridiculous.
Guardiola out-smarted himself. Fukked up lineup...puts a CB at LB vs Mo Salah...great result.
Puts Schnitzelboy Gundogan at CAM and rotates KDB up to RW and puts Sterling on the bench.
Not his most deft of moves...on top of some poor calls that negated 2 City goals, it was way too much to overcome.
The real kick in the balls...LFC wasn't that great. City was just ****e. Had LFC or City been playing Real or Barca, they'd have lost by 6-7 easily. LFC is gonna get corn-holed by either of the Spanish giants in the semis.
Oh boo hoo hoo.
This year's Bayern side isn't vintage, especially with Neuer injured. They've gotten a really lucky draw to get close to the semis, although I assume UEFA is going to rig the draw to keep Real and Barcelona from playing in the semis.
At least Fox Sports will show Bayern's semi if they advance. 
Who's crying? WTF are you huffing?
As a Bayern fan (yes, I've got relatives there), I enjoy seeing Pep fail elsewhere.
You and PackFoo and Goalline could have coached those Bayern teams to the Bundesliga title, and you would have been actively coaching them to lose. 
Heck, even Dom Capers could have coached them to the Bundesliga title.
Chongo = PackFoo...sorry for the confusion.
Pep, for any shortcomings he has, is still the best manager City has had in decades. City is suffering from a multitude of issues right now, Pep's team selection vs 'Poo is only one of them.
For all their success, they still are not a particularly deep squad top to bottom in comparison to RM, Barca or Bayern.
They also have very young guys in critical roles who still haven't learned about to deal with success...that's why you get guys like Sane, Jesus or Sterling being wildly inconsistent.
Right now, City lack a galactico. On their best day, guys like De Bruyne, Aguero or Silva can have a great performance, but there isn't one guy who can step up and take over a game like Ronaldo, Messi or Lewandoski.
Additionally, City is seeing the results of playing in the most physical league in football. It's a lot different playing in La Liga or the BL.
City is still a year or two away because they just don't have the CDM, FB, CB or striker depth they need to make a serious CL run. I've felt that for a while.
WTF City? 3 losses in a row? Spurs will probably cure that. And then Barca choke against Roma. Someone tell Messi he was playing for Argentina?
City picked a bad time to go on their worst run of the season...although they got f*cked twice by different refs in the CL matches...both had a significant impact. Salah goal was clearly offside, not caught. They disallowed a City away goal that would have made it 3-1, they also didn't call a penalty in the box where Aguero was spiked and woulda been a PK.
Yesterday shoulda been 2-0 going into HT on a Sane goal, but it was called offside, but shouldn't have been. 3 independent retired PL refs confirmed it via BBC.
But whatever, we had some breaks this season go our way...the bottom line is, we should be playing better defense and should be able to score a lot more.
Fully expecting a faceplant Saturday at Spurs.
At this point, anyone but Liverpoo is who I'm pulling for...
There is one player I cannot stand over anyone else...that chicklet-toothed MF Firminho. I hate him with fire.
You didn't hear me bitching this much about the refs last year, and the refs really screwed up the QF against Real Madrid.
And if you want to know who has a right to bitch, it's Gigi Buffon. The refs obviously decided they were going to come up with some way to f*ck over Juventus because Real Madrid must not go out.
I try not to bitch about officiating...most times teams put themselves in a position that one call screws them, so they need to take the blame themselves. But the Buffon card was a farce. The hilarious thing is, Michael Oliver is a giant pu$$y. He never calls anything on anyone in the PL.
At this juncture, I'm pulling for Roma because they are the little guy...if not them, then I hope it's BM, because I can't stomach the thought of Real or 'Poo winning it.
That call was the correct one. It was a foul. English refs suck. No coincidence that not one of them made it to the World Cup.
Would it have been called on the other end of the field?
Not saying it wasn't a foul GL, saying it was amazing Ollie boy had the sack to call it.
And Fukking 'Poo draw Roma... Klopp must have made a deal with the devil.
You'd think if they seeded teams they would have seeded Madrid and BM.

Roma is a bad draw for Liverpool. They struggle against defensive minded teams.
Hope you're right GL.
City clinch PL because ManUre $hit the bed. LMAO...and then the Special One says "well, I certainly wouldn't be celebrating if we won the league because another team lost."
WTF kind of statement is that?
LOL, they **** the bed hard.
Mo Salah wins PL POY...a little salty on this one, because once again, the voters only really consider goals scored, not assists, or the stats you can't measure. Kevin De Bruyne was the best player in the league by a mile, but was punished because rather than take every shot like Salah, his first inclination was to pass it.

They really struggled.
Hope they relax like Barca did. Roma down 3 in the first leg as well.
Roma is much better at home. 3-0 isn't a huge ask. Even 4-1. Crossing my fingers.
Robben out for BM...they are just too beat up. Real will take it.
Madrid's strategy of injuring everybody on BM is paying off.
So, not the refs this time?
Cosmic justice would have been Bayern getting the goal they needed thanks to a refereeing screw-up.
Liverpool through.
As with last year, ask Arturo Vidal about it.
(Marcelo admitted the handball. And I love his "Many times the refs have ruled against us" remark. )
Buckle up Stoke fans. Some guy called Henry has given you an absolute roasting.

Hell of a season for City, Pep has delivered in spades. Some will point out the UCL failing, however, most City fans I know were not hanging success on that tournament...we were hanging it on PL title. That was delivered, with many, many records shattered along the way.
Most points ever - 100 (95)
Most wins ever - 32 (30)
Most goals ever - 106 (103)
Largest goal differential - +79 (+71)
Largest title winning margin - 19 pts (18 pts)
Most wins in a row
Most away wins in a season
Most away goals in a season
Lots of people tried to minimize City because they didn't go undefeated. The invincibles had 12 draws. City had 4 draws, and 2 defeats.
Couldn't be more pleased with Pep's Project.
Better season than the unbeaten team.
CCV signs extension wif Spurs!
And the Scousers are already starting with the excuse making for their impending loss..."Mane and Salah are fasting for Ramadan! They will not be in top form!"
Liverpool - WTF was that cheap ass goal? Is Kiel in goal for them?
Bale made up for it with two golazzos...hate Real and that dirty fukk Sergio Ramos, but my hatred for LFC and their hooligan fans is much great. Scousers can go cry in their cheap beer.
