October means Oktoberfest, and FC Bayern Munich's Daniel van Buyten and his girlfriend or wife (depending on who you believe), Celine, were all over it this past Sunday. Really, does it matter if she's his wife or his girlfriend? It's a celebration either way.

Here is a better photo of her.

In the past Bayern's traditional visit of Munich's Oktoberfest was a way of celebrating humorless league dominance with one Maß after the other. In recent years it has been more about putting a good face on matters and drowning your sorrow in alcohol. At least the players now know, what it feels like signing for 1860 Munich.

It's that special time of year, Kickettes.

No, not the time when you can finally justify spending your rent money on a pair of over-the-knee boots because it's fall well, that too but, because it's Oktoberfest. Cue dozens of footballers photographed taking part in beer swilling and much lederhosen merriment.

Anybody who uses the phrase "Hat's off!" is my kind of fella. That's why I like Mainz coach Thomas Tuchel. Not only has he taken control of his squad with less than a week's notice prior to the start of the season following the dramatic dismissal of his predecessor, but when he masterminded his team's magnificent 2-1 victory over the mighty Bayern Munch at the weekend, he proudly uttered the words "Hats off to my team".

Bayern eventually overcome Klinsmann's bad karma with an emphatic 3-0 victory over Leverkusen and with referee Thorsten Kinhöfer still confused about what constitutes a penalty nowadays following the Champions League semis.

Had Klinsmann been still in charge, Bayern would have played poorly and van Buyten and Demichelis would have conceded a penalty each.
