It's time!

In a few short hours, Bayern will open the regular season at home versus Borussia Monchengladbach. And by all signs, things look good for our boys.

Reports coming out of Sabener Strasse say that both Robben and Ribery are fit (but likely only one (probably Robben) will start) and that both our number one and two keepers are recovered from their flu and are fit to play (it should be noted that, yesterday, I might have suggested that we change our name to FC Murphy's Law...but hopefully, that's just my pessimistic side talking). If you look at this, you'll see that they both looked absolutely horrible on Friday. So it's good that they're feeling better. And that we have four keepers in total, just in case.

If you're in the United States, the match will air live on ESPN3 and on ESPN Deportes. In the UK, it'll be on ESPN UK and elsewhere in Europe, it'll be on Eurosport 2. We'll have a match report here after things wrap up.

And, looking ahead to our next match in the Pokal, we'll be taking on FC Ingolstadt 04. More details to come as we approach the match.

And now, I leave you all with happy thoughts for a great kick off to the season! After all, Stuttgart beat Schalke by three goals, so it's already off to a good start! Mia san Mia! Auf Geht's Bayern!
