    :smiley-laughing002: we'll see. I don't prefer one team or another and while I think bayern will be comfortable it would be very funny if they lost 3 finals in 4 years.

    Bayern. The amount of Dortmund fans kicking about now is ridiculous, they all must have stopped supporting Barca this season.

    I agree with this.

    It's ruined it for me a little. It's nice to talk to people about them, but a couple of seasons ago I was the only one watching the Bundesliga, never mind Dortmund and now everyone I know seems to have adopted them as their favourite team :rolleyes:

    Dortmund.

    Bayern have that Hunnish feel to them.

    Everybody always roots for one side or the other during a Champions League final.

    Nothing wrong with showing favouritism, as long as you're not claiming to be some sort of life-long supporter :icon_mrgreen:































    *I had a Dortmund top when I was 15..loved it :86:

    I think Dortmund will do them, I just feel as though Dortmund will be slightly more up for this. They're the underdog, and it's suited them over the past few years to be the underdog.

    I expect them to play a midfield three of Sahin, Gundogen and Bender with Gotze out, for me that'll win it, because it'll end up being those three vs the two of Martinez and Schweisnteiger, especially because Sahin and Gundogen can pick out sensational passes when Dortmund are on the counter attack.

    They'll both probably play similar. Reus and Blazczeykowski vs Robben and Ribery.


    I'll go 3-2 Dortmund though.

    Hope they can do it!!

    Aye, same thing happened with the current Barcelona team. Makes everyone question folk like yourself that liked them before this season.

    My first Celtic game was against Bayern at CP when they had Elber, Kahn etc, that's my excuse.... and I'm sticking to it.

    What? have you not seen all the Bayern glory hunters come about? Talking as if they're the best thing ever, they haven't even won a champions league since 2001 and everyone is on about how great they are.


    Besides I've always liked Dortmund......






    since they won the Bundesliga two years ago. :56:



    Nah, they're fans have always seemed to like us, so I guess I'll support them.

    Nah, only Dortmund one's I've come across. Not a lot tbh but a few. Same type of * that wear Chelsea and Man City tops to play 5's. They just seem to be the fashionable team to support just now.

    Not doubting there will be loads though.

    The reason i want Dortmund to win is because they deserve to be there as they are CHAMPIONS!. Although take nothing away from Bayern, they have been immense this season and i was cheering them to get to the final.

    Also the fact that Dortmund can prove that you don't need to spend ridiculous amounts of money for success.

    The competition does have a very misleading title. :smiley-laughing002:

    But it's better this way. I'd rather have bayern and Barcelona in the competition than the welsh and Lithuanian champions.

    Both sets do though... I would say Dortmund are more active in coming to our games I have a st pauli fan on Facebook and he says he hates Dortmund and is gaining for bayern I've noticed a lot of st Pauli backing towards bayern....

    As I says I've seen backing from both for us
