No Hargreaves for Bayern today ... Podolski, Swhweinsteiger and van Bommel all start

Mertsacker makes the Bremen bench, and Wiese returns..

Great, informative article. Thanks chrissicross!

According to the Bayern website Hargreaves is starting.

EDIT: Yep. Same starting line-up as against Spartak. Makaay on the bench. Pizarro & Poldi up front with Santa cruz behind them.

It's an interesting interview indeed. Really impressive how the new Dortmund board managed to reduce the debts so fast. Dortmund will be a serious contender for the title pretty soon I reckon. Potentially, they can be the dominant German club, filling their stadium with 70.000 - 80.000 fans day in and day out, in the most football fanatic region in the country.

As much as I like this fact, I hope that he won't do the same in the U21 match against England...

Does somebody know why Klose does not play today?

Klose and Klasnic seem to be injured, not seriously though.

Oh, okay, thanks. I thought only Klasnic is injured...hopefully Merte will play a few minutes today...

Hargreaves off, Demichelis on (24'). Hargreaves injured after a foul.

And...

1-1 Wichniarek (25').

Good stuff. Nürnberg are 0-1 behind against Bochum at home as well. Now only Schalke needs to concede some..

2-0 Bremen, Zidan scored

Yeah, really glad for him, he needed that goal to boost his confidence. Potentially, he is already better than Klasnic, so he may get his place in the first XI soon.


Come on Werder, get rid of those frustrating weeks, hammer those "wir können alles außer Hochdeutsch" Schwäble...

Aachen also 2-0 against Gladbach now. Nice debut for Frontzeck it seems.

Aachen still very strong at home. They are already leading 2-0 against Gladbach!

Nürnberg v Bochum 1-1 (Polak 30')

Argh.....was too good to be true though. Bochum seem to overperform.

Shit, 2-1 now, Hilbert scored

Goddammit....it's always the same against Stuttgart. Hilbert was pretty pissed off about the own goal I guess. Damnit Hilbert, do that stuff against the English, not against us!

Don't worry chrissi. I predicted a 4-1 anyway. And I already got yesterday's score right. This is my weekend.

Werder vs. Stuttgart 2:1 HT.

We should not have conceded that goal, complicates things for the second half.

Who is getting the better of the game - Dortmund or HSV??

Dortmund - 10shots (0 on target)
HSV - 6shots (1 on target..from Trochowski)

Haven't watched the match. Hope Dortmund beats them clearly, and sends them back to the Fischmarkt with 0 points...

We really don't want that to happen ...

btw it was Trochowski who had the only shot on goal, on target in the 1st half..how highly is he rated??
