Bayern Munich vs Hannover 96: Gamethread

It’s time for the Bundesliga! This time, Bayern Munich are being paid a visit by high flying Hannover, who just three matchdays ago were in 4th place (but have slipped back down to 10th because the universe has a way of correcting its mistakes - sometimes).

Bayern come into the game with so many injuries that its hard to list. Only Thomas Muller is confirmed to be back, and James Rodriguez has apparently recovered enough from his concussion against Gladbach to be available for the game. Manuel Neuer and Thiago Alcantara remain out, but Franck Ribery and David Alaba could be available, since they boarded the team bus to head to the hotel before tomorrow’s game. Either way, the Bavarians will be looking to mount a strong response after last week’s unexpected loss to Borussia Monchengladbach.

It’s Bayern time.

1. If you’re a new member, feel free to introduce yourself. Don’t feel pressured or anything, we’re mostly very friendly. Also, we’re from all parts of the world so don’t feel shy if you’re from a country that doesn’t seem represented on the blog.
2. Refresh the page regularly to keep up with the discussion. One refresh every 55-60 seconds is ideal but if that’s too much then just try for one every five minutes and after every goal.
3. The goal celebrations are for everyone to participate in. Even if you’re lagging behind the others, keep replying to the most recent call of the player’s name. Even if you missed the first call, just start from the second, and so on.
