With one blast of the newly patented Kickette Pheremone Spray™, this Kickette soldier girl is ensuring that Manuel Neuer will comply with her whims for the next 24-hours.

You reckon this stuff will catch on?

Marco Reus finds all the right answers to Bayern's trash talk. Reus' announcement to move to Dortmund in the summer, triggered a series of trademark taunts from down south during the winter break. Reus supposedly demanded a guaranteed starting spot at Bayern. He chickened from trying to fight for his place in the team.

French publication L'Equipe named its 2011 Team of the Year recently, and as you might expect, Barcelona dominated the selections with six players on the team.

LIonel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo headline the squad, which includes a total of eight players from La Liga and two players from the English Premier League.

Ho, Ho, Ho...ich muss Euch sagen, draußen vom Wald, da kommt der Bastian her und da draußen, da weihnachtet es so furchtbar sehr. Und wenn dann auch noch der Manuel um die Ecke springt, dann habt Ihr Euch alle eine Geschichte verdient. Bastian Schweinsteiger liest sich für Euch und viel mehr muss ich dazu nicht [.

Boys, eh? Give them a football, they kick it. A water bottle, they spray it. An air-rifle... well, let's not go there.

But sometimes, just sometimes, player behaviour belies a braininess that startles. There was Clark Carlisle and his awesome 'Countdown' run.

Outside of the fact that everyone hates him, Manuel Neuer's life is pretty good. The best young keeper in the land, Germany's keeper, Bayern's form, getting to take naps while Mario Gomez scores like it's going out of style down the other end, etc. With such talent in front of him on both fronts, it's possible he spends his time back in net brushing up on his trivia.

The Germans are renown for being pretty darn good at everything. And we all know they are. One of the many things on their "the things we're better than you at" list, just below "penalties", is "producing world-class goalkeepers". You've just got to look at past players such as Oliver Kahn, Andreas Kopke or Sepp Maier to justify this point.

A few eyebrows were raised when Spurs picked up Brad Friedel on a free during the summer and the majority of supporters were assuming that the American had joined as Tottenham's back up keeper for 2011-12. He would either be warming up the bench, putting pressure on Heurelho Gomes or a new man would have stepped in to replace the Brazilian.

We're almost a third of the way through the Bundesliga season, and Bayern Munich, as is the case more often than not, look like the team to beat. Bundesliga statistics reflect that, as Bayern are not only solidly top of the charts in goals scored but have also allowed the fewest goals in the league.

This feels like the only fitting way. Put the ball in the back of the net yourself, if no other team is able to. Holger Badstuber put it there under pressure to Napoli's credit. Philipp Lahm failed to deal with Maggio to Badstuber's credit. And so Manuel Neuer's record run across all competitions ended after 1147 minutes.

In absence of any real competition, Bayern turn to the record books. Manuel Neuer is still in the hunt for Timo Hildebrand's Bundesliga record. Bayern are on a good way to break their own record of conceding the fewest goals a season. They might even try besting their own record of scoring the most goals.

After losing to Germany on Friday in Istanbul, Turkey's fate is first in their hands and will be looking help from Germany to beat Belgium.
Last Friday's lost to Germany was probably the worst match I ever seen in long time!
You could lose a match with playing and fighting.

Having already exploited the comedy value of football players in lederhosen for all it's worth last week, the timing of the release of these photos of the Bayern Munich boys at Oktoberfest couldn't have been worse.

Right, we know Gossip Wednesday takes place tomorrow but this was just too difficult to pass up! Every football club needs to do Oktoberfest, like Bayern Munich (bitte! / pleeease). Forget all those gala nights and red carpets (here's looking at you, Man United) just arrive in your finest Bavarian suits and dresses- like Thomas Mueller and his wife, Lisa, above - and you're all bloody well good to go!

Schalke fans might want to skip this. Everybody else, who has seen enough of Bayern players in Lederhosen and WAGs in Dirndls, can skip this as well.

It's Oktoberfest time in Munich again and Bayern paid a visit. As they do every year. And either Bayern are already operating on a level, where a 0-0 draw away at Hoffenheim equals a horrible defeat, or they really would have rather spend their day someplace else.

Manuel Neuer was reminded he still has a job. Manuel Neuer just replaced Oliver Kahn as the new Bayern Munich record holder for most consecutive minutes without conceding a goal. He topped Kahn by 16 minutes and now stands at 1018 minutes and counting. For 928 minutes he barely needed to lift a finger.

Who loves ya, Manny Neuer? Schalke fans haven't gotten over the sudden transfer of goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to Bayern Munich during the summer. They went to the trouble of demonstrating their feelings toward their former number 1 by hanging an effigy of a goalkeeper in a Bayern shirt from an Autobahn bridge before last Sunday's [.

Around this time every year, the Bayern Munich squad celebrate the onset of Oktoberfest by talcing up and slithering into their lederhosen for a traditional Paulaner photo shoot here are the best snaps from this year's, which took place at the club's training ground yesterday.

Apparently the signs and frigid reception at the Veltins Arena weren't quite the worst of Manuel Neuer's homecoming delights. On the way out of the stadium, hanging from a bridge beneath which the Bayern bus would pass, his ex-lovers (Schalke fans) strung up a mannequin of Neuer, which he would've been forced to see.

Ah yes, if it isn't the guys of Bayern Munich in their traditional Bavarian costumes! On a wet, rainy Monday yesterday, Thomas Mueller, Arjen Robben, Manuel Neuer, Philipp Lahm and co' arrived at the training ground for the club's annual photo shoot with a beer company.

It's really a rather simple route to going from a much beloved hometown hero to the most despised person this side of Pluto: sign for the hated rivals in a big money move.

Manuel Neuer enjoyed his trip back to Gelsenkirchen this weekend to reunite with his ex-Schalke brethren. No love from the fans, but his former teammates rolled out the welcome mat, only forcing him into one save.

Manchester United and Chelsea have battled for the English Premier League title for years, and both should be there when the title is decided this season. We will find out just which team has the stronger championship bid when the rivals meet on Sunday in this weekend's marquee match-up.

Emma, the star of Borussia Dortmund

Germany, Borussia Dortmund-Hertha Berlin 9:30amET (GolTV): Dortmund were the surprise stars of the Bundesliga last season, running away with the title. They did sell young Turkish-German midfielder Nuri Şahin to Real Madrid, but hung on to 19yo midfielder Mario Götze, despite interest from Bayern Munich and ManU.

Juergen Klinsmann raised a whole lot of eyebrows on August 25th when he announced 23 year old Fabian Johnson would be included in the 23 man squad to play Costa Rica. Who is Fabian Johnson?

He's a holding midfielder/ central defender for TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and his US national switch is possible because of his parentage; father is American while his mother is German.

Is it OK to win a major tournament wearing this? Or should we pass and hand Euro 2012 to a better dressed nation?

And here is how the German squad for the upcoming Euro qualifiers will look like:

Goal: Manuel Neuer (Bayern München), Tim Wiese (Werder Bremen), Ron-Robert Zieler (Hannover 96)

Ich muss meine Leistung immer bestätigen und versuchen gut zu halten. Was andere Leute sagen, das ehrt mich natürlich. Aber ich muss mich auf meine Leistung konzentrieren.

Manuel Neuer, Torwart des FC Bayern München und der deutschen Nationalmannschaft, fühlt sich nach dem Länderspiel gegen Brasilien und dem Lob von Franz Beckenbauer geehrt.

Manuel Neuer is one of the best keepers in the world, and young at that. As a team in need of a keeper, Bayern were all too keen to close off their needs between the sticks for many, many years. Manuel, despite growing up in diapers provided by Bayern's hated rivals, Schalke, was keen to stay in Germany, so he crossed the divide.
