I worked with a guy with the same surname. He had to constantly remind people it was pronounced "Ming ey". When we had fire drills and someone called out his name it was hilarious.

Feels like Leicester all over again, everything just seems to be going right for them

Or the Bundesliga is just a pub league. A bit like when managers do amazing things in the Championship then make the step up to Premier League and everything goes pear shaped (Farke, Kompany etc).
Not taking away anything from them but it must be far easier to have a decent run in the league. If the team was in the Premier League I would put them similar to a current Villa or Brighton.

Yeah it's obviously a lower quality league in general but the run they are on is still incredible. If it was easy they wouldn't be breaking records and the same team wouldn't have won 11 titles in a row.
So even man utd would struggle in the bundesliga then

Anyone get the Guardian football daily newsletter? 25 years today (well technically now yesterday for you) since Aston Villa fielded the last all English side in the premier league.

Gregory gallant as Villa plumb new depths
Aston Villa's championship pursuit is dead and the inquest has already started. John Gregory did not spare the team whose performance was "the worst I've seen in all my life, as a player and a manager". Nor did he spare himself in a summation that was part accusatory, part confessional.

Pogba 'sad and shocked' at four-year ban for doping
Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba says he is "sad, shocked and heartbroken" after being banned from football for four years for a doping offence.

There have been very few players who have wasted such talent as Mr Paul Pogba. Not going to lie though, I would happily waste my talent for the amount he has earned over his career.

To be fair with his injury record he’ll only miss about 6 games.

Half expecting him to make a social media post about it, dancing and famous music artists cameoing
