Magath Nobody annoys the Bavaria

Munich --
She thought about the crisis of FC Bayern could not be worse? Forget it!
The 1-1 against Schalke Bubis Felix Magath everything was in Bavaria-barn much doller. The crowning glory: world champion Luca Toni had fled from the stadium at half-time!
Another sad day for Bayern. Again theater in every nook and fronts. The embattled coach Louis van Gaal again managed a victory, even in the prestige duel with former Bayern coach Magath.
Leaders Leverkusen is now already six points ahead, Bavaria fell back to eighth. The fact that the Dutchman followed his Bavarians think again "optical" and "was very dominant," adopted after the game any more seriously.
At least world champion Toni. Van Gaal joined him at half-off - apparently too much for the proud Italian. Reporters saw him speed off in the break with a private car. When Van Gaal of the match and found out, he was totally surprised.
In the Sky interview, he stammered: "If this has happened, then that's not good. Furthermore, we will need to talk. "What did Toni was not good for him - and not good for the team. Even general manager Uli Hoeness reacted angrily: "This is obviously not in order. We noted this and will discuss it internally in the next week. "
Because even on match day international Philipp Lahm club and coach, heavily criticized, however, raises the question whether Bavaria has not a very major problem - and Van Gaal is part of the problem. Not even a win against Schalke reinforced A-Youth (in the second half were four players under 21 years, the Schalke midfielder Moritz, Schmitz, Pliatsikas, Matip; rear defended the 19-year-old Zambrano).
The audience whistled, again. Only a tortured 1:1 - in all respects too little. Apparently doubt also slowly Hoeness. In the evening he said: "In five to six weeks the time has come when we sit and take stock. We will not discuss the position of van Gaal continued in public. "
Too bad: Arjen Robben struck by Luke Schmitz Youngblood on the ground - actually clear red When he saw seals rolled on the ground for several minutes. Referee Meyer was only yellow - promptly accosted him also to seal yet! The Bavarians enter in the fall of 2009 from really a very faint image.

On 26 Les Humphries died in December († 67) in his English home to Basingstoke. Hardly anyone got anything with the death of the great band leader - until now.
Humphries led in recent years, a crazy recluse. So crazy that he had already declared himself to be dead.
"Mama Loo", "Mexico", "Kansas City" - mega hits! All of the Les Humphries Singers. Only on Saturday night millions of viewers saw at RTL, as the group landed at number 3 on the eternal top-list of the "Ultimate Chart Show" by Oliver Goats (38). These ex-singer Jürgen Drews sang Humphries (62), a new version of "Mama Loo". Les Humphries had been there long ago succumbed to a heart attack after a lung infection.
Popstar for Drews EXPRESS: "On Friday the show was recorded. Some of the old gentlemen had heard the news of his death already, but I said nothing because they were afraid I would get confused at the gig. It was not until the next morning, over breakfast at the Savoy Hotel in Cologne, they told me. Shortly thereafter, Humphries called me `ex-wife to Dunya Rajter. I could not believe how true it still does not. "
For Drew recalled in an oblique story: "1998 was announced by the radio station Bayern 3 death by Les Humphries. Shortly thereafter, I gave a live interview as an obituary. It later turned out to be a hoax everything. Les Humphries had himself declared dead and spent on the phone as his twin brother. Which there was not at all! "
Now Les Humphries really is dead and Drew, who sang from the beginning until 1975 in his band, mourns: "He was a genius, a fantastic musician, a gifted pianist. Without him I would have never had so much fun in life. We were Sex, Drugs & Rock `n` Roll, a Chaos force against the establishment. "
But Drew also saw the other personality of the great Humphries: "Behind the stage, he was strict as a general. He called me even once reviled as a Nazi. Later, when I sang the old hits at big concerts, I received threatening letters from him. No idea what got into him. "
