.In fact, Reus almost opened the scoring with just over a minute played, as he burst into the left side of the area and sent a controlled effort just wide of the opposite post.Dortmund went even closer to capitalising on their superiority in the ninth minute as Reus pounced on Henrikh Mkhitaryan's cut-back and saw his first-time effort tipped on to the upright by Sommer.Monchengladbach were left chasing shadows at times as Dortmund worked the ball excellently in the final third, but they could not apply finish when presented with chances.Lukasz Piszczek was particularly guilty when he spurned a glorious chance in the 29th minute, latching on to Mkhitaryan's defence-splitting pass before firing well wide when one-on-one with Sommer.And the Armenian attacker followed suit eight minutes later, inexplicably blazing over the bar with just Sommer to beat after racing on to Sven Bender's inch-perfect throughball.Dortmund started the second half in much the same manner as they generally dictated the tempo, but Monchengladbach remained resolute at the back.That was until Kramer attempted a first-time back-pass from inside the centre-circle and succeeded only in looping the ball over a stranded Sommer to score a remarkable own FIFA goal.Kramer buried his head in his hands and things almost got worse for the visitors two minutes later, Reus crashing a 20-yard drive off the crossbar.Dortmund afforded Monchengladbach significantly more of the ball in the latter stages, but Lucien Favre's side could not break down Klopp's organised defensive unit and the hosts held on for just their third Bundesliga win of the season .Wigan Athletic midfielder James McClean released an open letter to club chairman Dave Whelan explaining his reasons for not wearing a poppy in the Latics' Championship clash with Bolton Wanderers.McClean was introduced as a substitute in the 3-1 defeat on Friday night, but posted the letter online before the FIFA, outlining why he would not wear the commemorative symbol for 'Remembrance Sunday', stating it had different connotations for him as a Derry native. Dear Mr Whelan I wanted to write to you before talking about this face to face and explain my reasons for not wearing a poppy fut 15 coins on my shirt for the FIFA at Bolton. I have complete respect for those who fought and died in both World Wars - many I know were Irish-born. I have been told that your own Grandfather Paddy Whelan, from Tipperary, was one of those. I mourn their deaths like every other decent person and if the Poppy was a symbol only for the lost souls of World War I and II I would wear one. I want to make that 100% clear. You must understand this. But the Poppy is used to remember victims of other conflicts since 1945 and this is where the problem starts for me. For people from the North of Ireland such as myself, and specifically those in Derry, scene of the 1972 Bloody Sunday massacre, the poppy has come to mean something very different. Please understand, Mr Whelan, that when you come from Creggan like myself or the Bogside, Brandywell or the majority of places in Derry, every person still lives in the shadow of one of the darkest days in Ireland's historyeven if like me you were born nearly 20 years after the event. It is just a part of who we are, ingrained into us from birth.

How we were able to sustain the momentum we had all season. Sometimes you can go into a four or five game losing streak. The Pochette Louis Vuitton most we had Portachiavi Louis Vuitton this year was Alma Louis Vuitton two, and we'd bounce back. Tracolla Louis Vuitton Finally, we stopped in an olive grove, where we lay face down in the mud. We could hear shelling, far away and close by. Dusk was falling and we could make out the red tracer of anti aircraft fire lighting up the sky.
