Tomorrow is the last matchday of this Bundesliga season, and it's going to be a very exciting one. Werder and Schalke are fighting for the second spot, which guarantees the direct qualification for the CL. Leverkusen, Hamburg, Stuttgart and Wolfsburg are fighting for the 4th and 5th place to secure the UEFA Cup qualification. Nürnberg and Bielefeld are the two clubs left in the relegation battle.

Anyone watching the games at home today? I've got Leverkusen-Bremen on, and I'm eagerly looking forward to an exciting final day of football!

Will be keeping a close eye on the live ticker though, lots to follow today.

Costa scores an early goal for Wolfsburg! Not good news for HSV, Leverkusen or Stuttgart.
____________

Toni scores for Bayern

And Marcelinho makes it 0-2 to Wolfsburg inside ten minutes! Dortmund really are $h!t when they want to be, but Wolfsburg look set for at least the Intertoto cup.

And Stuttgart are losing at home! Their dreadful recent form is looking extremely costly.

Bordon scores for Schalke.

With current scorelines things are looking bleak for Nürnberg.
________________

Van der Vaart scores from the penalty spot. HSV and Wolfsburg currently set for the UEFA cup and Leverkusen for the Intertoto cup.

Hannover lead against Cottbus as well.

The Leverkusen - Bremen match is understandably cagey so far (well cagey considering how attacking the two teams are normally).

Frei pulls a goal back for Dortmund.
_____________

And Toni gets a second for Bayern.

The Bremen game is quite even so far, and if my limited translation skills are accurate, Stuttgart are all over Bielefeld so far but can't find a goal.

Just over half an hour gone in all the games.

Guerrero scores for Hamburg. That should be UEFA cup football guaranteed for them now.

And Ribery scores. Bayern ending the season in style.

What a season for wolfsburg.

It's looking good for them at the moment.

Fenin scores again to make it 3-0 against Duisburg.

HSV will be in the UEFA cup, they're 3-0 up now through Guerrero.

Dortmund miss a crucial penalty against Wolfsburg!

What are the standings for top scorers in Germany ?

Not sure if that includes today's games because Toni has two today.

Toni's got 23 now.

It takes a brave man to bet on them at the moment. I didn't think they'd lose today, but not much surprises me this season with Stuttgart, they can be very good at times but they're just as likely to lose a vital game against a team fighting relegation!

From what I can gather though they are dominating the game, nearly 70% possession, but they just can't find a goal. I hope they turn it around, but it will be tough for them.

Toni is a goal machine !

Wolfsburg now lead 1-3.

HSV are hammering Karlsruhe 5-0 and Nürnberg are heading down (Schalke are winning two nil).

Diego wasted a fantastic chance to give Bremen the lead just now.

Toni gets his third.

Sgoater1 wrote:Toni is a goal machine !

He just got another hatrick!

Damn that the relegation battle is kinda boring.
Hoped that nürnberg staying in, but oh well.

Wolfsburg is the surprise team of the saison - and will probably in the next too - they have chances for cl spot 2009


Kahn doesnt seem to get his 1st goal

Mario Gomez! From the penalty spot! What a nailbiting last 15 minutes there will be in Stuttgart. A winning goal could still put them into the Intertoto cup at Leverkusen's expense.

Dortmund are losing 2-3 so that game could still be drawn, Wolfsburg aren't safe yet!

Diego is riding his luck here. He has lost his cool a bit and kicked out a couple of times.
_____________

edit: Ignore what I said about Wolfsburg, they're now winning 2-4

HSV winning 6-0! Olic with this one.

(Anything Bremen can do, HSV can do better Blut?
)

Rosenberg! Leverkusen in desperate trouble now. They need a goal to get European football now!

And Fischer scores for Stuttgart! Leverkusen need at least two now.

And typical Stuttgart, they've now conceded immediately. Everything is back in the balance again.

Fucking VFB you c**ts !

Bayern FT 4:1

They have broken the record for fewest goals conceded in a Bundesliga season (21).

One more record for Kahn and Hitzfeld...

I told you! Completely unreliable! How much money have they lost you?

Nürnberg, Rostock and Duisburg are relegated.

JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! VIZEMEISTER!

What a nervewrecking match again, Jesus Christ! Again we wasted so many chances, simply unbelievable. But this time, we "had a bit of lucky", to quote the famous Lothar, unlike so often in this weird and chaotic season.

MARKUS ROSENBERG FUßBALLGOTT!!!

Rosenberg once again with the important goal, and this one was the most important. When he scored the goal, it was like having an orgasm after 5 heart attacks! Just for that, he is our player of the season in my opinion!

Schaaf finally shows some tactical flexibility, we did attack Leverkusen repeatedly, but not in a naive gung-ho style as I had feared. At the end of the match, replacing Diego with Niemeyer was a very good decision.

This was so important, it will strongly influence our transfers this summer, and therefore next season. Klaus Allofs, übernehmen sie!

And hell, do we need a class striker! So many excellent chances wasted this season, we could have scored 200 goals!

Rosenberg needs a class partner, and we now have the money to buy one.

How would you guys rate Rafinha? I saw him in his debut season and i was very impressed with him but they stopped showing Bundesliga the following season so i dont know how he progressed.

Hah...no way. Great match by the Stellinger, but we still pulled off this...

And we scored the most goals this season again, as usual.
