Match Report: Bayern v Hannover

How much of a difference does Super Mario Golmez make to the team? Well, today, he scored about 20 seconds after coming on as a sub. So...there's that.

Another big win for Bayern, and Schalke did us a favor by drawing Frankfurt (we'll just pretend that Dortmund didn't win and aren't now sitting second on the table). 5-0 against Hannover, who are not a bad team, is definitely something to be thankful for.

Martinez opened the scoring up nice and early, in the fourth minute, with a great goal, his first for Bayern. He really is turning out to be incredibly versatile and able to play wherever Jupp decides to stick him. And Toni's goal was fantastic as well. Then we added in a goal for Franck, a goal for Dante (complete with samba celebrations), and then our dear Herr Gomez came on, scored a pretty amazing goal.

It was nice to see Tymo get some playing time (and Basti get some rest). Only two yellows (Basti and Mandzukic), no reds, and five more saves for Neuer.

It's another English Week, as we head to face SC Freiburg on Wednesday 28 November at 2pm EST and then face Dortmund at home on Saturday 1 December at 12:30pm EST. Something to watch: we have two matches against FC Augsburg (8 December for the League, 18 December for the Cup). It'll be our first Pokal match against a Bundesliga team, but Augsburg are currently sitting dead last on the table. So should be interesting! See you all Wednesday! And, until then, just take a few moments to savor the beauty of the Bundesliga table that the moment: 34 points on 13 matches, with a GD of +33! And the 33rd goal? Scored by our own number 33, Mario Gomez!

Schweinez rides again!

Mario Gomez made his return to the first team on Tuesday against Valencia. Here's hoping for a Schweinez reunion in the Starting XI tomorrow!
