A bore draw was the result today as 1860 Munich met Sao Paulo in what was the German clubs last friendly of the pre-season. Both teams canceled each other out and a draw was a fair result in the end. Bernard told reporters after the match,

Injury blow


1860 Munich were rocked by the news that influential midfielder Kai Bulow will be out of action for around six months with a broken foot picked up in the 1-1 draw with Mainz. Bernard stated on the club website,

Its a blow to lose a player like Kai but we will have to push on and we will do that to ensure that when Kai does return we are in a healthy league position. This is a chance for other players like Edu for example to cement a place in the squad.

1860 Munich 1 Hertha Berlin 3
(Griffiths)

1860 Munich continued there indifferent form in the league so far this season as they lost to Berlin after dominating the match here at the Alliance Arena. Leigh Griffiths scored the only goal for 1860 as he kept his good scoring record up, but it was to no avail as Berlin got the points and left 1860 in the bottom half of the table. Bernard told reporters,

"We outplayed them today so to come away with nothing is disappointing and its becoming to regular so far this season."

Bayern Munich 4 1860 Munich 1
(Blake)

Bernard is still looking for his first points against 1860 Munich's great rivals as they were blown away here today. 1860 took the lead just before the break through Blake but in the second half Bayern ran riot and take all three points. 1860 are still looking for there first win in the last five games. Bernard told reporters,

"First half we were great then second half we were very poor. Inconsistency is the main problem for us just now."

1860 Munich 4 Koln 4
(Griffiths, Gibson, Goian, OG)

Three goals down after fifteen minutes and securing a draw at full time. Sounds unreal but that's what 1860 Munich done today as manager Gary Bernard struggles to find the right tactics and approach in the league season. Bernard told reporters,

"It was a good comeback after a disastrous fifteen minutes, we need to play like we played in the second half today and we will be on to something I feel."

Wolfsburg 1 1860 Munich 5
(Griffiths x2. Mateos x2. Marcone)

1860 Munich ended a six game streak without a win as they thrashed Wolfsburg to reach the third round of the German Cup. A win in the league would have been more welcomed by Bernard but he will now hope that the convincing win in the cup will push his team on for the league campaign.

Bernard talks to the press

Reporter - Ten games in to the season and you are in sitting sixteenth which is a relegation play off place, how can you improve your league form?
Bernard - We have struggled so far this season with only one league win but after the performance in the cup we can now push on from that and climb the table.

Reporter - So you can save 1860 Munich from relegation this season?
Bernard - Get this on record now, if we are relegated I will offer my resignation to the chairman.

Reporter - Will there be any changes to the formation for the next game like there was for the previous one?
Bernard - I wont disclose my tactics before any game so next question.

Reporter - Lastly what is the aim for the season now in the league and in the cup?
Bernard - I feel anything less than eighth is a step back from last season and as for the cup we take that one game at a time.

Schalke 3 1860 Munich 1
(Okaka)

1860 could not carry there cup form into the league as they slipped to a defeat at the hands of Schalke today. Okaka scored a goal once Schalke was 2-0 up but it wasn't enough and when 1860 were reduced to ten men the task looked even harder for 1860. Bernard told the media,

"This was always going to be a tough game but in the next three games we desperately need at least six points."

Bernard tells PSG "I am interested"

1860 Munich manager Gary Bernard has shocked the club and there fans today as he told the press that he would be interested in the vacant position at PSG. Even if he does not get the job then many of the 1860 fans will be calling for Bernard's head anyway after this public display of lack of commitment. 1860 have been poor this season and are currently in last place in the league.

Fantastic story buddy and i'm loving the Rangers contingent at the club :)
 
1860 Munich 2 Furth 2
(Griffiths x2)

A last gasp penalty saved a point for 1860 Munich but it wasn't enough to lift them of the bottom of the league as there indifferent form goes on. A brace from prolific striker Leigh Griffiths was enough to get the point but the players must be disappointed with this run they are on. Bernard told reporters,

"My patience is wearing thin with the players now, there is no effort and no passion out there and there will be big changes in the coming weeks."

Hamburg 1 1860 Munich 0

Rikki Reed had a game to forget today as he scored an own goal and was sent off as his team lost again and remained bottom of the league. It was quite an even game but Hamburg had the better of the match and in the end deserved there three points. Bernard told reporters,

"What can I say the players played okay out there today but there is not enough flair in the squad and in the end we deserved to lose."
