March'ing' towards the Title - Supremo Bayern

With the race to be crowned Bundesliga Champions all but over in my opinion.(c'mon who would bet against Bayern winning the league this year)Bayern's weekends resounding victory over  Schalke 04 lends credence to their invisibility and total domination in the German league opening up a 20 point gap. wheewwww...

You gotta feel sorry for a Schalke side thats shipped in 11 goals in two matches,  although  you can say against two of the very best sides in European football.

Its still hard to make a case for Schalke considering they're not lacking quality players, having in their ranks one of  Europe's top marksman in Huntelaar and the much coveted youngster in Julian Draxler, who has been linked with the likes of Arsenal FC, Madrid and Bayern.

Bayern have been simply sublime in their own rights, combining strength, technicality and tactics which have seen them play some silky stuff to the bewilderment of their opponents and amazement of football lovers. You gotta admire the away they have gonna about their business this past season.

On the touchy subject of "Business". Criticism abound that Bayern have bought the competition by weakening their opponents in terms of purchasing  the best players from their league opponents. This is no new accusations, we know for sure of Mario Gotze and soon to be Robert Lewandoski from Dortmund who were Bayern title  challengers  having won the  title  2 seasons back. While Thiago from Barcelona was simply a case of "if you can't beat em join em" the likes of Toni Kroos from Leverkusen and Luis Gustavo from Hoffenheim in 2010/11, Mandzukic from Wolfsburg and Dante from Mönchengladbach in 2011/12 all lends credibility to this unjust assertion.

While there's little or less justification to this ploy, you gotta appreciate the way they play as a team. Heck, you can splash the cash like City, P.S.G and Madrid and still suffer lack of coherence in team play. its one thing to have the finest players at your disposal, its another to make them into a team. For me thats what make Bayern worthy champions in my books anytime anyday.
