Eintracht is having a pretty good season but lately they stopped bringing on the results. Now KSC can take over,..

What surprises me is Arminia winning. Frontzecks first win as coach. Gee, I still hope they get relegated, it's one of the really annoying teams.

Dortmund...has to fire Doll. And clone Petric..

Bayern was very lucky not to loose against Frankfurt. The could or better should have scored at least two goals in the first half. Bayern didn't wake up before the 60th minute or so when van Buyten scored the equalizer. And then it was the a Luca Toni show once more.... 6 goals in 6 days (3 braces in 3 games ) is not too bad...
bayern now have the lead by 10 points with only 5 games to play.....even Bayer Leverkusen wouldn't be able to give this Meisterschaft away.

Dortmund... They're in great shape in front of Saturdays DFB Cup final against bayern.


So true.

I was just having a look at the Bundesliga 2 table, and Kaiserslautern are 5 points from safety with only 5 games to play, shame, I've always liekd them.

It really is a shame what's happening there. Especially when having in mind that Kaiserslautern won the Meisterschaft only 10 years ago under Otto Rehagel.
But they've made more than a lot mistakes since then. To cut a long story short: Since Rehagel left they had more than a dozen new coaches and many, many more new players (most of them were useless) and that's why they are where they are now. Most probably in the 3rd league from next year on.

Dortmund just equalized in 92nd minute in german cup final now for extra time

Yep.

they'll do bayern

They had 5 yellows though

2-1 Bayern, Toni's 2nd.

Luca Toni just scored for Bayern!

I hope fester is having fun watching him scoring goal after goal

Yeah, we certainly didn't need the 3758049760456780495680495 goals Toni's scored this season!

33 goals in 35 games this season!

Wow, I didn't realise it was that Good! If Italy were to win the Euro's and Bayern won the league + Cup + UEFA Cup. Surely Toni would be considered for World Player of the Year!

FT Bayern 2-1 Dortmund.

Unfortunately, people/journalists prefers the CL league to the UEFA Cup even if you play like a god in the UEFA Cup, and of course they think the EPL is more important than the Boundesliga so they don't even bother looking at its players Hopefully with the Euro he has a good chance

We are fine as we are, how many times do we have to repeat this?

How many consecutive braces has he scored?

They didn't televise the game here, but I'm glad that Dortmund put on a better show than they did last weekend when Bayern kicked their @sses.

As for Player of the Year, I think that a lot will depend on performances during the Euros. If someone is REALLY good there, then Cristiano may just have serious competition.

Bayern's winning goal was awfully lucky. Toni did a little flick with his heel which sent the keeper the wrong way, he couldn't quite recover to reach it and it rolled in, poor Dortmund!

Now it's 4....
Damn those lucky Bayern.....they didn't do anything to win during extra time and still won...

What about when Michael Owen won the Golden Ball when Liverpool won the treble..

Dortmund was better, but they didn't have the strenght and concentartion to finish up the work. Next season they need a new defense and a new coach, plus a real AM who can be the "heart of the team".

..but instead, they'll just sell Petric and get a load of crappy players. And let Doll stay for a few months more...

So sad. I really liked BVB. And the fans,..the greatest in Germany,..

Can Toni win the Golden Boot? I think there's a level of quality for each league that means one can score 50 goals in Greece and still not win it or something like that... does the Bundesliga have the same quality rate as the three "big" leagues?


What about it?

If you look at it in an isolated way, no. But, Toni scores also in UEFA cup, and he did score in Serie A in prior to his move,..

No I mean officially... every league has a multiplier rate... for example the big three probably have a multiplier = 1 which means if someone scores 30 goals in these leagues his mark is 30 while let's say in Portugal the multiplier = 0,7 which means if someone scores 30 goals he gets a mark of 21... I think that's how the official grading thingy for the Golden Boot goes...

The five best leagues in the UEFa all have a multiplier of 2. The Bundesliga is on Nr. 5 atm so....yes.



I think what the Bundesliga really lacks is top teams. The only team that could be considered a european heavyweight is Bayern. Bremen, Stuttgart and Schalke are good but can't really challenge teams like the EPL big 4, Real, Milan.....
Besides that I don't really think the Bundesliga is much worse than the leagues in Italy, Spain or France.

Actually (I've just checked) he scored 35 goals in 41 games so far, witch is phenomenal!

Just watching the Bayern-Stuttgart game. It's 1-1 after 20 minutes. Interesting game...Toni vs Gomez. We'll see who wins this one...

Ribery on fire in the Bayern game. Two amazing goals in the space of a couple of minutes. Bayern leading 4-1 in the 80th.

Ribery is having a great season, I never thought he'd be that good
I don't know if it's the german defenders or his own qualities, but he clearly reached another level and it gives him a "big head", here's what he said to the french newspaper "Le Parisien".



It's true I'm the successor of ZZ by my game (playing style), positioning and qualities ...

don't laugh

Ribery impressed me very much in the last World Cup. But no he's nowhere near Zidane's level!

humm, I don't know I think all he does is running, he's got a great pace and activity witch is his main qualities in my opinion. I'm looking forward to the next season do judge him, let's not forget that when he was at Mareille he played a great first season and then nothing! We'll see.

Felix Magaths Wolfsburg are close to a transfer of Palermos Christian Zaccardo. It is said the fee would be about 8 or 9 million. Should be a good transfer for them as Zaccardo is a solid defender and Magath would be the right guy to bring out the best of him.
Schalke want to sign Eindhovens Jefferson Farfan as their new coach Fred Rutten plans to play Kevin Kuranyi as only CF.
Hamburg on the other hand seems to be interested in Vicente. But I dunno if he's really a possible transfer for him.

I've heard anotehr interesting rumour recently. Bochums president Werner Altegoer apparently had a meeting with Jens Lehmann ( ). I would give a party if Lehmann comes to Bochum! Besides what others says Jens is still a ver, very good GK (not as good as he was in 2006 of course). It would be a dream!

That would be a very good move from Wolfsburg, I think he's a really good defender.

Lehmann needs to move back to germany in my opinion. He's a good keeper but hasn't really had the best of times at Arsenal, he's been decent enough, but the mistakes he makes are usually huge.

I'll be going to the huge derby today...Bochum-Schalke. Last years game was more thrilling than "The silence of the lambs".
I say.....we'll hammer those arrogant guys out of our stadium!

Haha .. wow cool

Gluck!

I'm sure LaPalma had a great time Hammering schalke

Bochum 0:3 Schalke 04
Bor. Dortmund 3:2 VfB Stuttgart
Hannover 96 3:0 Hansa Rostock
Karlsruhe 1:1 Cottbus

Schalke moves to the second place.

Ouch, sorry LaPalma!

3 wins in their last 4 games, and are now 5 points clear of the drop with just 2 games remaining.

EDIT: 4 teams get relegated, so they're only 1 points from safety! Hopfully they make it.

Wow....that was...embarassing....


Leaving yesterdays game aside it seems almost certain that Wolfsburg are going to sign Christian Zaccardo for a fee of 7 million €.

The Italian press is reporting that Thomas Ernst will be the new coach of Bochum next year.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing for Bochum, La Palma?

I dunno...he was our goalie between 1997 and 2001. As far as I know he doesn't have any experience in managing a Bundesliga or 2nd Bundesliga team....but Stefan Kuntz didn't have that experience either and was a great manager. I'll just wait and see.

They're also saying Martin Jol is heading to HSV.

Bielefeld 2:2 Bor. Dortmund
Cottbus 2:0 Hamburger
Duisburg 2:3 Bayern
Rostock 1:2 Leverkusen
Hertha 1:0 Nurnberg
Karlsruhe 1:3 Bochum
Schalke 1:0 Eintracht
Werder 6:1 Hannover
Wolfsburg 4:0 Stuttgart

I don't know what happened to Hannover & Stuttgart but , They're the big losers of the day ...

Hannover just got steamrolled. I watched that game and Bremen were on fire. Great game if you like Bremen, but a nightmare if you're a Hannover supporter.

And yay for Bochum's 3-1 win!

Finally a deserved win after weeks of bad football. Little Mimoun Azouagh is back to his best after we managed to buy him from Schalke. An awesome purchase. Aza is one of the players with the best technique in the Bundesliga. Not much inferior to Diego or Zé. Only problem: He's a light weighted dwarf.
Dunno what happened to Stuttgart though....they've been really good this year. Even more impressing is what Felix Magath did with Wolfsburg. He took over at a team that barel escaped relegation and now he might make it to the UEFA Cup. But I guess the 30 million he got from VW for transfers did a good job as well.

Watching the Wolfsburg=Stuttgart game now.

Wolfsburg are playing really, really well. Meira (Stuttgart's captain and a rather good defender) got a straight red in the 18th for a fowl on Wolfsburg's Grafite -- Grafite did get brushed by Meira but he also did his 'ZOMG, I've Been SHOT!!!!!' Drogba impression. Totally sold it and the red was in no way warranted.
