Winter Break Finally Ends

The seemingly never ending Bundesliga winter break has finally ended. A ball has not been kicked in anger for over a month. And this is what the blow hard, over opinionated, self important managers of the ever so precious English Premier League want to adopt. A whole month without football, at the crappiest time of year, when there is literally fuck all to do. Why? Because our modern day prima donna player has to play to many games. This in an age of huge squads, endlessly rotated and played on surfaces you could eat your lunch off. I bet the same idiot managers, I mean you Messrs Ferguson, Benitez and Wenger, will be bleating when the players they want to wrap in cotton wool are straight off to the nearest night club to flash their enormous wealth and pulling groins as they bone untold scores of willing slappers. A month indeed. Is it a coincidence that the leagues with no break, or at most a week and a bit off, have dominated Europe for the past decade? Apart from the UK, the Spanish and Italian top flight barely stop for breath during the miserable month of January.

Of course this meant Der Lowen of TSV 1860 Munich are back in action, and first up was a home game against top of the table Freiburg. A chance to test their mettle, and a a good gauge of what is too follow? Let's hope not, as they were soundly beaten 2:0. I fear at the least mid table mediocrity beckons. Next up is second in the table FSV Mainz. But it is not all bad news. The Lions have recruited two Serbian players, one from Fiorentina and the other from Borussia Dortmund, till the end of the season. Lets hope they can help the lads kick on, and hopefully challenge for promotion. You can check them out by clicking here, for the official Bundesliga web site.
