Borussia take top of the table! 16 points
Wolfsburg second. 15 points
Bayern, Freiburg, Leipzig, Schalke, Leverkusen next, each on 14 points.
Dortmund 12 points.

I like how Freiburg are playing

 

[wadistance]

Gee, what a Saturday of action.

Union Berlin 2:0 Freiburg
Augsburg 2:2 Bayern
Werder 1:1 Hertha
Leipzig 1:1 Wolfsburg
Fortuna 1:0 Mainz
Dortmund 1:0 Gladbach

and an ACL injury to Sule - which has massive ramifications for both Bayern and Germany.

So now, the top 9 looks something like this...with a Schalke win to put them clear top, and a draw to have 6 teams within 1 point.

Most competitive league in the world

Got a feeling this one's gunna end in tears for Schalke

Heaps of chances first half, played with heaps of emotion and their home crowd are right into it too, but feel they lack a bit of composure, young side too

Feel Dortmund's experience will get them a late winner

 

[go you pups]

Schalke extremely unlucky not to get a handball VAR decision earlier in second half

They've been given all season in Serie A and one or two in the A League, surprised that wasn't

Frankfurt destroyed Bayern 5-1 after being reduced to 10 men inside the opening 10 minutes

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Well that's one way to break a winless run. Leipzig with an 8-0 drubbing of Mainz.

And that’s after a 6-1 win against Wolfsburg in the cup midweek. Nagelsmann really is an elite trainer

It’s been a weird season. We’ve played poorly for a good portion of it, but sit second. Gladbach have been the best team, but lost to us twice in three weeks. Bayern haven’t been great, but still in the hunting zone

I have no clue who will win the title this year and I love it. I’d be gutted if it wasn’t us, but I’d also be fairly happy for anyone else (except Leipzig) to take it also

Even Bayern?

Even Bayern?

When you hear the term ‘anyone else’ referring to a potential Bundesliga Champion it is always to the exclusion of bayern

Kovac officially sacked by Bayern.

Jupp Heynckes’ wife officially has destroyed his mobile phone.

I was a supporter of Kovac up until this past week when some of the comments he made in the media made it look like he was on a kamikaze mission to get himself sacked, even before the 5-1 loss.

Who is likely to get the Bayern job?

According to The Athletic, Ralf Ragnick and Erik Ten Hag are Bayerns top 2 choices

Great read

The footballers who escaped from East Berlin

In November 1983, two Dynamo Berlin footballers risked their lives as they fled to the West and left their whole lives behind in East Germany. This is their story.

Wowee great win by Leverkusen at the Allianz

Leon Bailey on the counter, dynamite

 

[ioppolo]

How good would it be if Arminia Bielefeld were automatically promoted!?

 

[gaskin]

Just watched Gladbach/Bayern. That was a classic example of a momentum swing between both halves. Cracking match (particularly after half time) and a great win for Die Fohlen.

Really good - especially since it'll be to the loss of Paderborn or Köln... need to keep NRW heavily represented!

It's been a really interesting few rounds to be honest. Cant remember the last time Bayern lost twice in two weeks, and that we were above Bayern on the table but not in first place.

Also great to see Eisern (Union) Berlin playing well and most probably doing enough to stay up.

Apologies to all for the lack of work on this thread BTW - trying to juggle parenthood for the second time is taking most of my forum time away from me

Putting your child ahead of bigfooty - poor form

Cout hatty & 2 assists perthblue

Yeah I watched that (I guess I have a soft spot for Gladbach if it were to be any German side)

Bayern dominated the first 60 minutes, yet couldn't pull away, Gladbach got their equaliser at the right time, then got their tails up

Bayern on a good old fashioned home ski to get back into form

Jesus Christ the DFL has some answering to do after yesterday.

One clear penalty and two probable ones not given to BVB, whilst after showing 2 mins of extra time in the first half, the ref managed to find an extra 6 minutes for Bayern to oil the score back to 2-1.

Reus Said in the post game presser, that the ref said he thought it was a handball but VAR said not to give it. You be the judge.

They’re not even trying to hide it.

Hypothetical question if the title race came down to RB Leipzig and Bayern who would the average German who doesn't support either side prefer to see win?
