Congratulations to Dortmund. Came back from 1-2 down to beat Bayern 3-2, and they will face Eintracht Frankfurt in the final.

Remember those "Pep the fraud" rants from Bayern fans? Good times.
TBF, many many many (majority, imo) fans mourned his leaving and would have given anything to keep him. The board certainly tried their best to keep him. But pressure on the Bayern manager to win trophies is just the nature of things. Shame it takes a complete collapse to exert any where near that pressure on the Arsenal manager.

Pressure from the board or from the fans? Been fan pressure at Arsenal for a while, but if you're talking about the boards then it's a fair comparison, ours is ****e.

It was pressure because Bayern played great football before he came,since 2010 or so.Wonder how situation would be if he came in some other period.

No. There's always pressure when it comes to Bayern. Always demand for excellence.

So,you say that if Bayern had bad patch before Pep ( not winning Bundesliga,out of CL in group stages or in round 16 ) that they would sack him with results that he had in his time in Bayern ? I'm not so sure tbh.Bayern was so good in 2013.He could go in two ways.Just to bulit up that great results or to do worse job.He did second thing.

Bye Bye Ancelotti. You will be off this summer.

Dortmund just beat us 3-2 to reach the DFB Pokal final.

Sometimes though you just have to say that it was the players who let the team down, and that is what happened in that game. Quite frankly, Bayern should have been about 4 goals to the good by the time Dortmund got their 2nd goal, they where dominant.

A coach can only do so much once the game starts.

I know that it has been dissapointing whichever way you look at it, but for this one game, I don't see Ancelotti to blame.

Watching the Leverkusen - schalke match now, Bayer's dreadful season getting worse, losing 1-4 at home.

Expect weaker Bayern in next seasons.No Lahm,Ribery,Robben and Xabi Alonso too old.Muller off form for quite long now.Lewa only looks in top form.

Bayern has officially won the Bundesliga. Well... not officially, but on points it is done.

Alonso won't be there either. Time for Sanches and Coman to step up next season, and of course, more of Kimmich too.
But they will need to do some work in the summer, need a striker for starters, cos without Lewy, they are actually very lacking up there! Also a new winger, Robben still has a lot left in him, but Ribery is nowhere near as good.

They do of course already have Sule and Rudy coming in.

Hard work for Coman ,Sanches and Kimmich to replace some players.Lahm was one of the best fullback in the world and they will need time to find some top player on that position.Ribery is has been and Robben is still good but they're old now and i still don't trust some players who can replace them.Bayern had his time since 2010,did great job in 2012 and 2013.Pep just didn't do enough in CL.

I hope you are right and they won't be as strong, but they still have a really good squad with Neuer, Hummels, Martinez, Boateng, Alaba, Vidal, Thiago, Lewa, Robben, Costa, Kimmich. And Sule and Rudy will be 2 good additions.
Sadly, Bayern will be fine ;)
 

Arsenal Quotes

The coach's role is to make the player understand everything that serves the interest of the game. To do this he must speak to the child within each player, to the adolescent he was and the adult he is now. Too often a coach tends only to speak to the adult, issuing commands for performance, for victory, for reflection, to the detriment of the child who is playing for pleasure, living in the present.
