    They truly have been insane this season. There seem to be an unusual number of leagues around Europe this season where one team has won at a canter. But Bayern Munich for me are the most impressive. They have simply destroyed what is a very strong league and left a very good Dortmund team a mile behind in second.

    Fürth has not managed to win a single homegame in the Bundesliga, but at least they have not lost their sense of humour.

    The banner (from their homepage http://www.lms-ticket.de/greutherfuerth/) says: Little fun, and annoying guests. Next year we will go somewhere else

    I really should know as I have seen them at St Pauli twice and am pretty sure I asked their fans the question but to be honest I can't remember the answer. I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with Ireland though. The fans I met were brilliant though they came to Hamburg for the weekend and drank with us in the Jolly Roger.

    My abiding memory is this 7ft 20 Stone Bavarian swapping shirts with my * mate who is about 9 stone.

    It's one of the symbols of the city they play in.

    It's in the coat of arms.

    But Bayern have always been like that, they don't have billionaires running their club like PSG, Man City etc. Uli Hoeness and Rummenigge are not necessarily as rich compared to other owners of top clubs.

    They're a bit like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United in that they are always getting to the latter stages of the CL, most of the time win their league and have a huge fanbase and this generates a lot of money.

    If Dortmund can stay consistent in the CL in the next couple of years they'll soon be splashing the cash. (They kind of started doing this in the summer last year when they bought Marco Reus).

    Am heading to Berlin on Thursday and I am looking to get tickets for the Hannover v Bayern game. Does anyone know where I can get them?

    They will be even better to watch under Guardiola but it might take a season for Pep to introduce his own system and maybe bring a couple of players in. Thats why I think Dortmund will take the title next year. I think we might see this next year at Bayern
